Question 2
A child is born with a visual impairment. His motor development is gradually affected. Which one of the following is the best explanation for this phenomenon?
◦ Infants with impaired vision compensate for their challenging condition by relying on motor activity to explore the world; therefore, they are often advanced in motor development.
◦ Parent interactions with children who are visually impaired tend to be more physical and active; therefore, motor development is enhanced.
◦ Common underlying causes of visual impairment inhibit many other areas of development as well; therefore, they are often delayed in motor development.
◦ Motor development is motivated by vision; therefore, motor development in infants with limited vision is delayed.
