FINAL pt 2 Flashcards
Primary Feedback Loop
Involves infant’s own body
Secondary Feedback Loop
Involved people and objects
Tertiary Feedback Loop
Involved active exploration & experimentation
6 Stages of Piaget’s Sensorimotor Stage Development
- Reflexes (senses/motor reflexes)
- Primary Circular Reactions (nursing)
- Secondary Circular Reactions (waves hands bc rattle makes noise)
- Coordination of Reactions (initiate & anticipate, may ask for help by fussing/pointing)
- Tertiary Circular Reactions (“little scientist”)
- Early Representation Thought (performs after seeing)
Object Permanence
The realization that ppl/objects still exist when they can no longer be seen, touched, or heard
Information Processing Theory and Affordances
Information Processing Theory - perceptive that compares human thinking processes, by analogy, to computer analysis of data, including sensory input, connection, stored memories, and output
Affordances - opportunity for perception & interaction that is offered by a person, place, thing or object in the environment
Visual Cliff Experiment
Baby is put on a see through platform, tested fall reactions
Social Smile
Smile evoked by a human face, usually evident around 6 weeks after birth
Separation Anxiety
Distress when a familiar caregiver leaves, most obvious between 9-14 months
Self-Awareness
Rogue Test
Self-Awareness - a person’s realization that they are a distinct individual whose body, mind, and actions separate from those of other people
Rouge Test - 9-24 month olds looked into a mirror after a dot was placed on their nose. If they reacted by touching the dot on their nose, it was inferred they knew the mirror showed their own face
Temperament
Inborn differences between 1 person & another in emotions, activity, self regulation,.
Measured by person’s typical responses to their environment
Secure Attachment
A relationship where infant obtains both comfort & confidence from the presence of caregiver
Insecure Attachment
Pattern of attachment where infant avoids connections with caregiver (careless of their presence, departure, & return)
Insecure Ambivalent
An infant’s anxiety and uncertainty are evident.
When an infant becomes very upset at separation from caregiver and resists constant on reunion
Myelination
The process by which axons become coated with a fatty substance that speeds the transmission of nerve impulses from neuron to neuron
