Q

when can babies eat solid food

A

at the age of 6 months

209
Q

are breast-fed babies healthier

A

yes, they are less likely to suffer from common illness as it stimulates better immune functioning bc antibodies are transferred from mother to baby

is there a difference between breastfed babies and formula fed babies when it comes to mother-infant social interactions

A

no, they both are identical if they are given the same maternal attention

211
Q

what is the narrative about breastfeeding

A

it is all natural, and the images are happy people smiling down and it looks peaceful and easy

212
Q

what is the reality with breastfeeding

A

it is painful

A

this is bc of the fear aspect that it wont even let mothers give it a try

and bc mothers base their decision of the culture and benefits of breastfeeding and the relationship with their body

214
Q

Vision/hearing

A

poor seeing at first but develops rapidly over time

newborns hear nearly as well as adults- bc they can locate the direction of some sounds at birth

215
Q

touch/motion

best developed of all the senses which is why babies like to be held and cuddled

216
Q

smell/taste

A

smell has nearly unlimited variations

newborns react differently to each basic taste at birth

217
Q

Two types of perceptual skills

A
  1. looking
  2. listening
218
Q

Perceptual skill: looking

A

babies scan for light/dark contrasts

219
Q

are faces interesting to babies

A

no faces are not interesting to babies but they prefer their mom’s face

220
Q

Perceptual skill: listening

A

by 1 month they can discriminate between single syllables

at 6 months they can discriminate between 2 syllable words

at 3 months they recognize the sound regardless of who says it

221
Q

What happens to a babies listening for language from 6 months to one year old

A

at 6 months infants can distinguish sound contrasts in any language

but

by one year old, this ability fades and is limited to the sound contrast of their native language

222
Q

why would the ability to distinguish sound contrasts in ALL languages fade?

A

this is because of synaptic pruning: you dont use it so you lose it bc we need to keep space for other things, so we get rid of things we dont use as much.

223
Q

What is the language development at 2-3 months?

A

cooing, responds with smiles or cooing when spoken to

224
Q

What is the language development at 4-5 months?

makes various vowel and consonant sounds with cooing

225
Q

What is the language development at 6 months

A

babbles, utters phonemes of all languages

A

expressive language emerges, says single words

eg saying no

228
Q

What is the language development at 12-18 months

A

uses two word sentences (telegraphic speech)

has expressive vocabulary of 100-200 words

230

A

vocabulary expands quickly

they can categorize new words with their own Brain/connections instead of us teaching them

231
Q

when do cognitive skills change

A

over the first 2 years and are highly consistent across environments

consistent developmental trajectory (universal)

232
Q

Paige-sensorimotor

A

infants use info from their sense and motor actions to learn about the world

233
Q

what happens by 18-24 months for cognitive skills

A

infants has the beginnings of mental representation

234
Q

what is mental representation and when does it occur

A

occurs between 18-24 months

and it is just schemes that infants make for how the world works around them

235
Q

What is the sensorimotor development at 0-1 month

A

reflexes

236
Q

What is the sensorimotor development at 1-4 month

A

primary circular reactions which are accommodation of basic schemes as babies practice them.

eg: grasping, listening, looking

beginning of coordination schemes from different senses: things set the foundation of how you put things together–hasnt linked body actions to results outside of the body

237
Q

What is the sensorimotor development at 4-8 month

A

secondary circular reactions: baby becomes more aware of events outside his own body- imitation may occur- and beginning to understand object permanence

238
Q

What is the sensorimotor development at 8-12 month

A
