Q

A03 - strength

A
  • interactions normally filmed in a laboratory
  • other activity that could distract a baby is controlled
  • film means can be rewatched/analysed later, inter-rater reliability
  • babies don’t know they are being observed so behaviour doesn’t change
  • CA: filming means observer my not be there in person, might miss behaviour

Q

A03 - weakness

A
  • hard to interpret a babies behaviour
  • lack co-ordination + mostly immobile so recorded behaviour is small hand movements or subtle changes in expression
  • hard to be sure if baby is smiling or passing wind, can’t interpret behaviour
  • can’t be sure behaviour has meaning
