When they first hear voices they are often muted or muffled, but their mother 's voice is reverberated through her own body and it reaches the fetus faster, so the baby can hear her voice better. Once the baby is born it prefers her voice and wants listen to her over anyone else. Scientists tested this statement by using two rubber …show more content…

The effects of malnutrition during the pregnancy caused stillbirths, birth defects, low birth weights, and infant mortality. Decades after the hunger winter researches documented that the people who were fetus during this siege had more obesity, diabetes, and heart disease later in life that individuals who were born under normal conditions. These individuals of prenatal experience during the starvation seemed to have higher blood pressure, poor cholesterol, and reduce glucose.

Fetus are taking cues from the environment and tailoring them to their body accordingly. They are preparing themselves to enter the world they will be born into. Particularly this fetus adjusted the metabolism and other physical processes to help prepare them.

    The one event in the movie that left a lasting impression was when they were picketing the president and were arrested for obstructing traffic. They were then sent to jail, and after they refused to eat, Alice Paul was force fed. This left an impression on me because in order for someone to go through all of the pain, they must have really wanted to make a point and fight for their cause. This part of the movie showed just how dedicated Alice along with all the people who supported her were for their cause, and showed to great lengths they were willing to fight. I never realized the extreme measures that these women when to get the right to vote.…

    I was very intrigued with the TED videos that were assigned to this paper. I am always interested in learning more about how children at such a young age develop everything that is essential for when we age in adulthood. In the first video “What Do Babies Think?” The first experiment included babies that were the age of fifteen to eighteen months. I was amazed to find there was a significant amount of difference between a fifteen-month and an eighteen-month baby and how their brain processes information.…

    Human development indicates that a number of things are necessary in order to reach humans’ full potential. For example, human development begins in the mother’s womb. Therefore, one of the necessities of human development is ensuring that mothers’ nutrition be healthy. A woman suffering from lack of healthy nutrition during pregnancy can cause the baby to have behaviour problems and less receptiveness for language development in its later years. In early childhood, children should have satisfactory health services to ensure that they will not be in an unhealthy state during their growth, such as being physically stunted or having personalities that may be dramatized in various ways.…

    Twin studies aid in strengthening the correlations between fetal environment, low birth weight, and adult disease. On average, twins have lower than average birth weight as they experience reduction in growth during their third trimester due to limitations in size of the uterus (Vagero & Leon, 1994). Research involving monozygous and dizygous twins has determined that the lighter twin was more likely to develop higher blood pressure and have increased cardiovascular disease risk (Baird, Osmond, MacGregor, Snieder, Hales, & Phillips, 2001). This information suggests that two individuals who experience the same intrauterine environment can have varying birth weights, and those birth weights correlate to a greater incidence of disease. Twin studies…

    I learned that when it seems like babies are copying what you are doing, an example being sticking out their tongue, they are copying you but they do not know they are doing it. That is called unconscious mimicry. Crying is the key to a baby’s survival. It is the only way they can get someone’s attention to do something for them since they cannot do things for themselves. An interesting fact was that at three weeks old baby’s most active muscles are the ones that control their eye, however they in the beginning they can only see up to a yard away.…

Therefore, the baby, Ponijao, within the documentary Babies demonstrates the standard progression of psychological development in a manner that illustrates the universality of infant development. As a result, the cultural differences that could potentially segregate Ponijao from the primary studies done on children from the Western culture are shown to have little implications on the baby’s development, proving the commonality among all infants.…
