Baby Understanding Of Peek-A-Boo

Peek-a-boo is a game played with a young baby, which involves hiding behind something and suddenly reappearing, saying “peekaboo.” Throughout this game, the infant brain has different neurons that need to function together in order for them to react the way they do. Although the baby has not developed enough knowledge to understand where the object went, it is still very important that each neurons acts properly under command. Neurons used to complete a babies understanding of peek-a-boo is neuron, axon, axon terminal, synapse, and dendrites. A neuron is the main functional unit of the nerve tissue in the brain. When the game peek-a-boo first starts, the caregiver will cover their face to “hide” themselves while standing in front of the baby. The neuron and baby work together and the process begins, as the axon carries electrical pulses away from the …show more content…
Following the procedure in the brain, the electrical impulse branches where the neurotransmitter is released as electrical impulses across the synapse to another neuron. This being the stage of an axon terminal. Concluding the process, everything will come to the dendrites, which are multiple branches at the end of axons in the nervous system that connects to other neurons. They act as receivers or neurotransmitters released from other neurons. When this procedure is done multiple times, it will strengthen the baby’s brain and its train of thought. From not understanding where the caregiver has went, to knowing that the caregiver is attempting the hide, the baby will develop and enhance its neurons. Peek-a-boo is every babies favorite game, but once all neurons are strengthen, the baby will master the game. While adolescents and adult find different game boring, babies find them humorous or exciting. Not only does it occupy them and make them laugh, but it enhances their learning and neurons every time you
