Unit 6 Flashcards
What is the general philosophical trend with stimulation and deprivation been
Stimulation = good Deprivation = bad
What are the effects of early stimulation? Parents/experts
Parents - is valuable
Scientists - is valuable but can cause difficulties in reading later
Who was Doman, what did he say about children
Better Baby Institute - infants are like sponges waiting to be filled
Mentioned that you have to go through every rudimentary and voluntary movement in order to be successful later on = hemispheric dominance
Who was Elkind, what did he say
Too much, too soon can super-saturate/overdo
What do baby boomers want to raise
smartest kid in america
The AAP thinks that programs for infants should not be
promoted as therapeutically beneficial for infants
Parents are recommended to provide what for their infant
Structured play environment
What did the AAP state about infant/toddler aquatic programs
2
DO NOT decrease the risk of drowning
They are not ready for swimming lessons until they are 4
What is hyponatremia
Water intoxication
What causes hyponatremia (2)
Ingesting too much water
Happens where forced submersion occurs
What disease is the main potential problem of infant swim programs
Giardia
What is giardia
What does it cause
Parasitic condition that develops due to cyst growth in the digestive tract
Diarrhea
Common guidelines for swim programs
- No formal swim lessons before 4
- Avoid total submersion
- Provide measures for avoiding contamination in pool
- Do not push children into water
- Limit exposure - babies get cold quick
Who studied Johnny and Jimmy
Myrtle McGraw
What was weird about the study of Johnny and Jimmy (3)
Unusual timelines
Unusual tasks
Unusual approach
How long were Johnny and Jimmy observed for
22 months
What happened during the Tricycling task
Johnny started at 11 months, took 8 months before successful
Jimmy started at 22 months, learned it quickly
More mature when started
What happened during the roller skating task
Why?
Johnny started and became skillful before 12 months
Jimmy started at 22 months, never became skilled
Johnny smaller - better center of gravity
What happened during swimming
Johnny given more experience than Jimmy
Johnny was more skillful
After many years they retested and Johnny was still better
What did McGraw conclude about the factors effecting early motor development (5)
- Readiness (tricycling)
- Practice
- Attitude
- Growth (roller skating)
- Level of fixity (swimming)
What did Dennis conclude about the Hopi indian study
Walking is genetic
What is deprivation dwardfism
A negative influence on human growth created by serious deprivation
What is the growth hormone released by the hypothalamus
Somatotropin
What is affected when growth is affected
Motor development
Who is deprivation dwardfism common in
Infants who are hospitalised for extended periods
What happens to the symptoms when the infants are returned to a more stimulating environment
They disappear
What is the case of extreme isolation (1946)
What signs were shown in the infant
What happened at 10 and after
Anna severely deprived due to isolation

What is the Young Savage of Abeyron

Could not talk, rodent like, intellectually delayed
Showed little improvement intellectually
Died at 40 despite remediation
What is a critical period
What happens if stimulation during this period
A time of particular or maximum sensitivity to environment
associated behaviour likely to occur
What is readiness
The establishment of the minimum characteristics necessary for a particular human behaviour to be acquired
What are the determinate for readiness
Physical growth
Neural development
Motivation
What is Catch-up
The human power to stabilise and return to predetermined behaviour or growth pattern after been deprived
