Brain Development Video Summary

Decent Essays
This video was very interesting and informational, the woman explained the importance of the brains developmental stage in a small child, the topic discussed definitly relates to the Physical Development chapter in the textbook. The chapter explains the process of how the brain is working to build connections for learning of a baby at an early stage. A baby mind is so pure and open to so much knowledge, whereas an adult who may take in new information differently because of certain things that may have been observed or learned when they were a child. The woman made a comment saying that "until you learn, your helpless". I find this to be very true , but that early stage is the time to instill so much into a child's mind to help them advance in there future and prepare them for the real world. …show more content…
This taught me how fast a baby mind can develop. Also, ive realized that the childhood of children is very important and should be handled very deliquently. Babies aren't just there to look adorable, they are the beginning to a future, there knowledge will be useful and soon pasted down to others it is very important to take this stage of development serious.
Some useful research that could be done to learn more about a child's brain, could be more observant research methods, i believe that comparing different children from all parts of the world, the same age range, will help get a more accurante understanding of the way their mind is developing. Furthermore this method could discover if the enviorment of these children effect there learning good or

    Introduction: How Children Succed p.xiii&xv In this introduction I was surprised on how they are having three year olds filling out worksheets and completing drills on letter and number recognition (Tough, 2013, p.xiii). I did notice when my son went to transitional kindergarten that what was expected from him was what a kindergarten back then would be learning. When he went to kindergarten he was expected to know more than what I remember was required before.…

    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.…

    Lory Hough and Corydon Ireland explore the idea of "The achievement gap, a look into causes" and "The achievement gap, a look into causes: Parents ' role". I believe the five main points of the two articles are, first, it will close the achievement gap if you target certain behaviors having a negative impact on poor children. Second, race and class, the achievement gap separates white children from children of color and middle-class children from poor children. Third, closing the achievement gap comes down to the development of language and the use of culture in the home. Fourth, resources, money, nutrition and neighborhoods affect the achievement gap.…

One way to develop a child’s brain development comes from experience and exercise the brain. This happens through the different senses such as sight, touch and sound. The stimulation of synapses in the brain will create more and help children develop a wide range of experiences.…

    For my final PowerPoint project, the topic I chose is how technology affects a child's social and brain development. This is relevant to Developmental Psychology, because in the last 10 years or so technology has consumed our lives. Children at the age of 2 already can use most tablets and cells phones before they can read, if early childhood is when children are "sponges" how is using technology affecting the way they learn . Also older children who have been using this technology since the age of 1 or 2 how do they interact with other kids their age after always being glued to a tablet. I chose this topic because the video we watched when the semester began stuck with me, children can learn so much at such a young age and I began to think…

    Seeing how kids and teenagers develop and deciding the stage procedures is a complex selection of theories. Numerous thinkers and specialists have their own theory of how the body and mind grow. There is no good and bad in their methods of insight, there are appraisals of human development. While a few speculations can be straightforwardly connected to a man, so can another. To demonstrate reality in these theories, I will give examples of how all the kids in the movie ‘Babies’ by Thomas Balmes demonstrate characteristics discussed in each given theory.…

    Creativity is a word that is heard throughout our time in school, however as you get older the word becomes less important because it has nothing to do with your “essential” subjects, or so some think. In the video we were asked to watch I could not help but agree on everything Sir Ken Robinson had to say. His ideas and way of thinking are remarkable and I found myself hanging on to every word and going back to listen to certain parts of the video again. I do, in fact, believe schools kill creativity, Robinson talks about how we as people do not grow into creativity, we grow out of it, or are better yet educated out of it. During elementary school I remember attending a music and art class every other day of the week and it was a chance for all of the students to be creative.…
