Chapter FIVE Flashcards
facts about infant growth
double weigh by 2 months
triple by age one
percentiles
norm or refrence point
just averages
what do w euse percentailies for
in terms of babies
comapre babies to other babies that r the same age
what does 40 percentine in height
and 80 percentile in weight mean
baby is overfed
head-sparing
a phenomenon observed in fetuses and newborns where the head circumference remains relatively normal or even increased despite a smaller body size.
what is imp for babies development, aside from touch
sleep
how big is that babies skull
how does the baby brain develop
biggerr than body
develops through experience
Brain Development:
Experience - Expectant
ex
if not
experiences that brain are expecting
such as love, touch
if not brainn will not develop
Brain Development:
Experience - Dependent
ex:
certain brain functions develop on certain experiences
but not necessary
ex: depending on which language you know, thats what u will knoe
Harming Infant Brain:
lack of….
ex:
stimulation
(need to talk to baby, show images, read books)
Harming Infant Brain:
over…..
stimulation
baby needs to chill as well
Harming Infant Brain:
Stress
if too many stress hormone released in infant
may come out later in life
Harming Infant Brain:
shakne baby syndrome
can cause
people shak ebaby out of frustration
abusive head traums
Harming Infant Brain:
severe social deprivation
no social interaction can affect babies brain development
in turn will affect education
Genie
at 20 months old
father locked her in room
strapped her to a child’s toilet or bound her in a crib with her arms and legs immobilized, forbade anyone to interact with her, provided her with almost no stimulation of any kind, and left her severely malnourished
Sensation and movement:
order
sensation
perception
cognition
sensation
ex:
rresponse pf senses
will smile at e/o, put e/t in mouth, touch e/t
perception
brain interprets sensation
once brain develop sensation comes
perception
as baby develops, brain devlops
sensation
perception

need s/t to base off
need to know when ethere is an issue
norms give a basis
what is it important to allow a child to go through
each phase

four successes in childhood immunization
smallpox
polio
measles
rotavirus
immunization benefits
protections against complications
immunization complications
irritability
Side effects
immunization debate
yes or no
autism
sumary of immunization
What outweighs what?
What is it considered?
And reintroduction to what?
Benefits outweigh risks
Considered Medical Neglect
Reintroduction to disease
Deprivation in infancy
What can affect brain development (negative)
Lack of stimulation
Shaken baby syndrome
Stress
Social deprivation
Smaller brains
Deprivation in infancy
sensory deprivation
touch
kiss
cuddle
Deprivation in infancy
Motor Skills
Deprivation
if leet them skip a step in motor skills development affects brain development
Deprivation in infancy
Chronic Malnutrition
not feeding baby properly
Deprivation in Infancy

different diseases or outcomes of what happens to a child that has malnutrition.
