Phases of Motor Development Reflexive Rudimentary Fundamental Specialized
Reflexive Movement Phase Information encoding stage (in utero to 4 months) Information decoding stage (4 months to 1 year)
Rudimentary Movement Phase Reflex inhibition stage (birth to 1 year) Precontrol stage (1 to 2 years)
Fundamental Movement Phase Initial stage (2 to 3 years) Elementary stage (4 to 5 years) Mature stage (6 to 7 years)
Specialized Movement Phase Transition stage (7 to 10 years) Application stage (11 to 13 years) Lifelong utilization stage (14 years and up)
