the blood brain barrier is not very permeable but the placenta is, so pregnant women need to be careful what drugs they take.

Describe Freud's Oral Stage
Mouth is chief source of pleasure
Activities involving mouth such as sucking, biting, and chewing
Babies bring everything to mouth
If all of the child's oral needs are met iwth consistency
Successful completion of this stage allows the chiold to move to the next stage
If a child is deprived of oral needs being met, what happens?
Unsuccessful mastery of this stage the person has an oral personality

Oral personality is someone who constantly needs to chew gum, smoke, and over-eat
Erickson - Trust versus Mistrust
(Infancy)
-Sense of trust based on the child's needs being fulfilled by the parent
-Consistently with few caregivers
-Infants learn to trust adults when they convey love and compassion
-Keep routines, feeding, bathing consistent
-If the child's needs are not met poor social development learns to mistrust
Piaget - Cognitive Development
Sensorimotor (birth to 2 years)

Stage 1 (0-1 month)
Use of reflexes
sucking and rooting, not a lot of thought
Piaget - Cognitive Development
Sensorimotor (birth to 2 years)

Stage 2 (1-4 months)
First habits and proimary circular reaction:

Baby does something accidentally leads to result (suck on thumb)

baby tries to acheive result again
Piaget - Cognitive Development
Sensorimotor (Birth to 2 years)

Stage 3 (4-8 months)
Secondary circular reaction

Same as primary involves object (shaking of rattle),
Repetition of an action involving an external object
(moving a light switch to turn on a light repeatedly)
Piaget - Cognitive Development
- Sensorimotor (Birth to 2 years)

Stage 4 (8-12 months)
Coordination of secondary circular reactions
Baby intentionally performs an action with a goal crawls to get a toy
Piaget - Cogntive development
Sensorimotor Period (Birth to 2 years)
Infants are aware of only what is immediately in front of them, what they are doing, physical interactions with the environment. Initially Reflexes (sucking and rooting), then does something accidentally (thumb in mouth) and takes pleasure in it, then tries to do it again. Generalize their activities into a wider range of situations and coordinate them into longer chains of behavior.
