|
infants social rhythms |
sleep/wake cycles (related to social rhythms) are acquired over the first three months of life after: better able to connect with their mothers in synchronic manner |
|
|
premature birth |
dont have these cycles and takes longer to develop leads to poor sychnrony at three months of age - poor arousal regulation |
|
|
Visual preparation: stages |
stare at 1 month and movement at three months |
|
|
Visual preparation: attraction |
large elements movement contours contrast like faces |
|
|
Daphine Mawers: infants face recognition |
infants: 12 inches; contrasts of light and dark two week old looked at contrast vs 6 week old looked at face by 8 weeks - neurological development and connections are able to connect the face with a voice |
|
|
infants scan human face |
1 month: prefer outer edges of the face and contrasts 2 months: more focus on features of eyes and the face (pattern detection?) 3 months: have shown that they look at the faces as a whole |
|
|
Auditory preparedness: cat in the hat |
mother read cat in the hat out loud during pregnancy: after birth babies sucked more to hearing the cat in the hat vs other stories prefer moms voice |
|
|
Baby talk |
prefer baby talk - high pitched/exaggerated exposure to native language = preference for it and turn towards it at 9 months of age responds to emotion in voice |
|
|
social development: voices |
being able to respond to a persons voice, being sensitive to emotional differences in tone |
|
|
Touch: study |
massage vs not massaged 15 mins a day massage= weight gain, awake, alive, maturity and fewer hospital days |
|
|
Touch: skin to skin |
research shows skin to skin contact to help in stabilizing blood sugar, stress and heart rate. also helps with breathing rate and temperature. used to be swept away now immediately placed on mom or dad |
|
|
Social partner: infant interaction |
prefer face to face play exhibit less stress in interactions with another person than alone regulate interactions with gaze: turn away, cry or distract to disengage 30% interactions go poorly - not sychronized |
|
|
Social partner: infant parent dyads |
cocaine: more reserved and drawn depressed moms: more intrusive (engage when they don't want to). parent displays negative affect = baby more negative affect |
|
|
Still faced experiment |
mothers are unresponsive and silent when interating with baby - when not given positive feedback and experience deficits = negative feedback |
|
|
learning social exchanges |
mom interacts, pauses, baby interacts (points) instigator or responder |
|
|
evolutionary theory |
survival: needs are met development depends on being born into and reared in a species-typical environment that supports adaptive behaviours |
|
|
neurological development |
motor cortex: head to toe - suckle, turn head, smile, reach, crawling, walking visual cortex: looking longer at faces (3Ms) auditory cortex: conversations shape the brain - 8-10 Ms understanding few words/18-24 Ms production of language |
|
|
prefrontal cortex |
concentrating, planning and problem solving |
|
|
Executive functions |
working memory inhibition task switching problem solving attention planning |
|
|
working memory |
provides temporary storage and manipulation of the information |
|
|
inhibition |
the ability to restrain a response or action |
|
|
task switching |
switching between different tasks or rules |
|
|
problem solving |
using methods in an orderly manner to solve a problem |
|
|
Growth spurts: Adolescents |
social and emotional processing improvements in executive functioning emotional liability risk taking |
|
|
experience-dependent process |
brain process that are unique to the individual |
|
|
experience expectant process |
brain processes that are universal orphanages: reduced brain activity and less connectivity between brain abuse: smaller cortex/limbic system (emotions and social relations) |
