(choose one: cephalocaudal / proximodistal) pattern of physical development can be seen in infants who can grasp a crayon before they can effectively color with one.

The correct answer is proximodistal.

Explanation:

During infancy, the pattern of growth is differentiated into two types, that is, cephalocaudal and proximodistal pattern. When the development in an infant takes place from the head towards the downward direction, the pattern of growth is known as cephalocaudal. On the other hand, when the growth takes place from the core of the body towards the outward direction, the pattern of growth is termed as proximodistal.  

The given case is an illustration of the proximodistal pattern of growth, as it can be witnessed that the growth of an infant is taking place from the center of the body and is moving in an outward direction, that is, towards the extremities. In this form of development, an infant elevates their arms when they witness an object that they want. Afterward, he or she forms a precise hand and finger control and can hold the object with the help of fingers.
