Perceptual development and Moral development Flashcards
Sensation
Raw input
Perception
Making meaning
Habituation:
Habituation: paying less attention as something becomes familiar
What taste do babies prefer
Sweet tasting things
What type of exploration dominants for the first 4 months
Oral exploration: dominates for first 4 months
What type of exploration starts at 4 months and gradually takes over
Manual exploration: starts at 4 months and gradually takes over
Vision acuity:
Small pattern that can be distinguished dependently
Developed first
Auditory threshold:
Quietest sound person can hear
Auditory localization:
Newborns turn toward sound
What is amodel
Information presenting in many ways
What can infants perceive about objects at 4months
By 4 months infants have shape, size, brightness, colour consistency
Visual cliff paradigm:
Once babies perceive depth they will be started by being on glass surfaces, when tested
Kinetic cues:
Using motion to estimate depth
- Present from birth
Motion parallax:
objects at different distances move at different speeds, closer objects move faster than distant ones
Visual expansion:
Occurs when you approach an object, the closer you are, the more retina the object occupies
Retinal disparity
It requires both eyes to see depth and occurs because each eye sees a slightly different image
- develops by 3-5 months
Depth pictorial cues
Smaller objects appear further, details decrease with distance, overlapping objects suggest depth
Develops last of all depth skills
Develops by 5-7 months
Attention:
selecting information to be processed further
Orienting response:
orient toward stimulus
What is the dynamic systems theory
Motor development involves many distinct skills that are constantly (re)organized to meet changing demands
What are the 4 aspects of the dynamic systems theory
- Complexity: develop as an integrated system
- Multi-causality
- Continuity in time and system self-organization
- System is dynamic
What fine motar skills develop during infancy (2)
- Reaching and grasping
- Feeding
What does right/left handedness depend on
Depends on heredity and experience/environment
