Q

what is the main implication for the familiary vs novelty preference

A

exposure time in lab induced preference produces need to be long enough for the baby to become familiar with the stimulis but short enough so that they dont get bored (habituation)

A

true

95
Q

give an example of how culture affects the motor milesotne (sittting)

A

there are huge cultural differences in how long 5 months can sit indiependantly
(kids from cameroon can do longer independantt sitting than in italy because of their cultratl diffs)

96
Q

why are there cross cultural diffs in how long 5 montth olds can sit independantly

A

related to where infanst are placed to sit
=earlier indp sittting in counttriese where infants spent more time in places with less postural support

=later dev sittting in countries where infants spent moree ttime inn places with lots of postural support (eex: child furniture or being held)

97
Q

in what types of countries is there earlier independant sitting

A

countries where infants spent more time in places with less postural suppport

98
Q

in what types of countries is there later independant sitting

A

later independantt study sitting in countries where infantst spent more time in places with lotst of posutural spport (child furniture or being held)

99
Q

what are examples of little postural supportt positions

A

ground and adult furniture
(need to dev balance, coordinattion and core strength)

100
Q

what are examples of positions witth lotst of postural supportt

A

child furniture or being held by an adult
(more support for the body therefore no coordination)

101
Q

true or false: how much ttime an infants spends in places witth less psotural support impacts when theyll be able tto sit independantly

A

true

102
Q

what dictates when/impacts when children will be able to sit independantly

A

how much time an infant spends in places with less postural support

103
Q

A
104
Q

truee or false: motor milestones are not affected by how many opporunities infants have to practice and how much motor dev is actively encourges

A

false, tjhey are

105
Q

give an examples of cultural effecst on motor dev

A

1) sitting positions effect mottor dev in sittting
2) motor milestones are affecteed by how many opportunities infants have to practice
3) diaper vs naked walking

106
Q

give some examples on how mottor miestones are affected by how many opporunities infants have to practice and how much motor deev is actively encouraged

A

1) in some countries, some infants are actively discouraged from crawling because of safety or hiegne concerns so many crawl later or never (ex: urban china)

2) adults perform motor exercises in subsaharan exercise with their kids
(infants are more advanced in motor skill dev than kids in north america)

107
Q

trtue or false: diapers affect infant walking

A

trtue

108
Q

do infants show more mature walking when naked or when wearing a diaper

smaller and narrow

110
Q

true or false: cultural practices in one domain can have unintended consequences in another domain

A

true q

111
Q

what were the earlier theories behind motor development

A

that motor dev governed by cortical maturation

112
Q

what is the current theory mechanism beehind mottor development

A

motor dev governed by complex interplay between numerous factors

113
Q

what are some of tthe factors that affect motor dev

A

neural dev
increases in physical strengh
physical abilities, like posture control and balance
perceptual skills
change in body proportions and weight
mottivattion

114
Q

do babies have the stepping reflex for their entire childhood

A

no , infants aree born with the steppinng reflex that dissapears at 2 months but then startt stepping agan bettween 7-12 months of age when laerniing to walk

115
Q

what is tthe hypothesis for why stepping reflex dissapears

A

infants gain weight faster than they build leg muscles and thus have significant strengtth to lift heavier legs

116
Q

what is the study/evidence that proved the role of wieght changes on stepping reflex

A

young infants who still showed stepping reflex stopped stepping when weights were attached to their ankles

infants who no longer showd stpeping reflex resumed stepping when placed in
a tank of water (buoyancy of water weight supported)

117
Q

what did tthee fact that young infants who still showed stepping reflex stopped stepping when weights were attached to their ankles

infants who no longer showd stpeping reflex resumed stepping when placed in
a tank of water (buoyancy of water weight supported)

prove

A

that dissapearance of stepping reflexe is due to weight change rather than cortical matural

118
Q

what is disappearance of stepping reflex due tto

A

weight change ratther than corical maturation

119
Q

true or false: chubby babies take longer to walk

A

true

120
Q

true or false: children are not intrinsically motivated

A

false, tthey are highly motivated despitte failing

121
Q

does motivation play a role to motor development

A

yes, kids will continue to practice new skills even tthough they possess skills tthatt are more effiecient that could accomplish the same skills

122
Q

true or false: individual diffs in motivation predict when motor milestones are acheived

A

true

123
Q

what is the study that showed how individal diffs in motivation predict when motor milestones are acheived

A

study: compared low and high motivation infants on wheen they achieveed motor milestones

low motivation infants: movements occur infreq, prefer activities that require little energy, require lots of stimulation to change position

high motivationn: move often, prefer high energy activity. change position often , do not neeed stim to move

124
Q

explain movementt of low motivation infants

A

low motivation infants: movements occur infreq, prefer activities that require little energy, require lots of stimulation to change position

125
Q

explain high motivation infants

A

move often, prefer high energy activity. change position often , do not neeed stim to move

126
Q

do high motivation children reach all motor milestones earlier than less motivated infants

A

yes

127
Q

when do reflexes in infants usually disseapear

A

by 2 months

128
Q

are motor milestones developped in a predicable sequencee

A

true

129
Q

why does motor development matter?

A

1) enables active learning and expands an infant’s world
(allows children to learn by acting on the world rather than just passively observing and increasing opportunities for learning)

2) facilitates development of skills in other domains (especially in vision and social behavior)

130
Q

what was the study that showed that independant sitting and reaching facilitate understanding of 3D objects

A

it was a habituation paradigm with 4-7.5 months old (assessed sittinng and reactning abilitty )

134
Q

what ws the habituation period for the motor dev and perceiving 3d objects study

A

presented with rotation object with only. 2 sides visible (does the infant perceive this shaoe as complete 3d object)

135
Q

what was the test phase for the motor dev and 3d objects study

A

presented with rotating compleet shape beside a rotating hollow shape

136
Q

if the infants saw the shape as a complete object, they should look longer at what (3d study)

A

at incomplete display because its novel

137
Q

understand the motor development and perceing 3d objectst study

A
138
Q

what were the results of the motor dev and perceving 3d objects study

A

infants were more advanced in sitting and reaching were more likely to look at the incomplete display
-age not relatted to where the infant. looked

=suggests that motor skills dev in sitting and reaching influence development of 3d object percepttion

139
Q

trtue or false: motor dev impactts depth percepttion

A

rtue

140
Q

whatt was tthe study to show tthat motor development affects visual cues (slopes)

A

infants placed in front of walkways with either shallow or steeo slopes and encouraged to crawl across
(can babiees ttlel diff btwne slows(detect depth))

141
Q

what did th perception of slope in the sttudy depend on

A

crawling expeerience

142
Q

what were the results for the motor developmentt and depth perception (slope) study

A

Perception of slope depended on crawling experience
•Beginner crawlers (about8months) confidently went down shallow slope BUT also attempted slopes that were too steep
• Experienced crawlers avoided steep slopes

• When these same babies started walking, they made the same mistake as with
crawling
• Initially went down slopes that were too steep
Failed to transfer what they had learned about slopes through crawling to walking

143
Q

what does the motor dev and depth perception using slopes study suggest

A

that infants have to learn through experience how to intergrate perceptual informatiton with ech new motor skill developped

144
Q

do kids ever make mistakes after learning deepth perception?

A

yes, scale errors

145
Q

what aree scale errors

A

attempt to perform an action on a miniature object that is impossible due to the huge diff in size between the child and the objecet

146
Q

when do scale errors usually develop

A

around.2 yrs

147
Q

what are scale errors due to

A

failure to inteegratee visual info with action planning

148
Q

does motor dev help understand intensions

A

yes, in adults, they proactively shift their gaze to the goal of an action when observing somebody perform that action (indicates that they undersatnd the persons intension)

149
Q

what does the fact that adults, proactively shift their gaze to the goal of an action when observing somebody perform that action iindicate

A

(indicates that they undersatnd the persons intension)

150
Q

can infants aslo proactively shift their gaze to the goal of an action

A

depending on age

151
Q

what was the study to see if infanst can proactively shift their gaze to the intension

A

eye tracking in 12 month and 6 month (showed an image of placing objects into a buckett)

152
Q

what were the results of the motor dev study on whetther infants can proactively shift their gaze to the goal

A

12 months and adults showed proactive gaze toward bucket

6 month olds did not (have not devlopmmed ability to pick p and carry and drop objecst)

153
Q

why do children at 6 months not proacttively shift their gaze towards the goal

A

have no yet dev the ability to pick up, carry and drop objects

154
Q

whatt did the study about proacive gaze shiftt show

A

shows thatt infants ability to predict ohers actions relies on them being able to perform these same actions

155
Q

true or false: motor dev is tightly linked with visual and social developpment

A

trtue
