Mi Chaela Windsor: Case Study

Great Essays
Mi’Chaela Windsor was born October 29, 2013 as a 34-week premature baby and with a lip and tongue tie. She is the youngest sister out of the two, Serena Windsor who is 18 years old and Lekeiya Windsor who is 21 years old. Mi’Chaela has a mom and dad who is still married for 18 years, Diann Windsor and Michael Windsor. The Diann and Michael are both in their forties. Diann is a stay at home mom who recently received her Masters in Human Resource. Diann also home school Mi’Chaela due to the fact that teacher will believe she has a disability problem because of the way she talks. According to the mom Mi’Chaela does not have a disability problem and is a very smart toddler. Michael is an active military that serve in the Army. The family live on …show more content…
According to, “Invitation to the Life Span” “Young children are language sponges, they soak up every verbal drop they encounter, mastering vocabulary and grammar at a rapid pace (page 182).”. Mi’Chaela abilities is that she is quick to learn and catch on to word easy. When I was asking her if she want ice cream she would said, “yeah I want ice cream.”. Another way I can tell that she is good at conversation is I would say Hi to her and she will say hi back. Then I would ask her how was she doing, and she would say good. I also saw that if Serena was doing something Mi’Chaela did not like she would say, “Rena (nickname for Serena) no.” Then Mi’Chaela will tell on her with words and pointing to Serena. Even though from time it is hard to understand her but we pick up clue words and pay attention to her pointing at objects. The funny thing I seen is when she wants something she can say it loud in clear and when she is talking it is not as clear, there always some mumble. Even when I was not with her but I was on the phone with our mom, I heard her say loud and clear that she wanted to talk to me. Now at three-year-old, her conversations/speech are even better then before, I can understand her even with some mumbles. Without her tongue and lip tie been surgical remove, I strongly believe that it would be hard for her to say word properly and for the family to …show more content…
According to Invitation to Life Span, object permanence is, “The realization that objects (including people) still exists even if they can no longer be seen, touched or heard (page 114).” When I went to go hide from her underneath the cover or in the closet she would find me by hearing my voice when I call her name. If Mi’Chaela had a blanket over her head and I would ask, “where is Mi’Chaela?” She will pull it down so I can see her. According to Piaget, “By 2 years, children fully understand object permanence progressing through several stages of ever-advanced cognition (page 115).” This is great that she understands object permanence before she had turn three, this let me know that her brain development is on

    As we grow and develop, we all go through these stages. The first stage, Sensorimotor, is from birth to about two years of age. In this stage, you were experiencing the world by looking, touching, mouthing, and grasping. Until at least 6 months old, you are not yet aware of object permanence, which means that even when you can’t see an object, you are still aware that it exists. In the second stage preoperational, the age ranges from two until six or seven years of age.…

    Although it may be possible to conclude that Piaget (1954) did underestimate children’s abilities based on his methodological limitations and neglect of socio-cultural and innate factors, the evidence supporting this claim is unstable as the research is highly conflicting with studies suggesting the understanding of object permanence develops at a range of ages. One possible explanation for these conflicting findings may simply be that over time the age at which object permanence develops has changed. This is supported by Flynn (1984) who argued, with the case of intelligence, that over generations the average individual has become more intelligent. This may also be the case for the ability of object permanence due to the rapid technological…

    In the video clip, Failing Object Permanence (https://youtu.be/rVqJacvywAQ), the baby is unable to keep track of the toy. Every time the adult hides the toy, the baby does not know which cloth the toy is under or where to look for it. Even though, the toy is right in front of her she cannot differentiate one hiding spot from the other. This mental process, as maintained by Piaget, requires the ability to form “schemas” of the object. A schema is, “The organization of an experience within the mind that organizes the way we perceive cognitively to an object, complex situation, or set of stimuli” (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/schema).…
