25
how did researchers show use of visual cues for balance in babies
babies sit in a room with striped walls that looked like it was moving -whne adults were in this room, perceive themselves moving and not the walls so they adjust posture accordingly -infants do the same
26
how do researchers know that 4 month olds use cues from inner ear to maintain balance
when sitting and lose their balance, try to keep head upright -even when blindfolded
27
when do children start to step spontaneously and why
10 months -they have to be able to stand
28
what study did thelen and ulrich conduct to see if babies can step if they are held upright
infants placed on treadmill and held upright by an adult -when started to move infants would either -let both legs be dragged backwards or -move legs forward in a hopping motion
29
what do infants use to judge whether a surface is suitable for walking
perceptual clues
30
mastery of intricate motions required what 2 things and desrcibe
differentiation -mastery of component skills integration -combining those component skills in proper sequence working as a whole
31
at what age have children mastered the component skills os that they can be integrated into independent walking
12 to 15 months
32
researchers at the university of manitoba have found that over time, childrens ability to integrate behaviours into apporpriate motor movements depends in part on what
knowing when to inhibit movements that are not appropriate
33
to progress beyond walking to running, what must children learn
to propel themselves into thin air and maintain balance as they land
34
at what age do most infants use their thumbs to hold objects
7 or 8 months
35
at roughly what age can infants coordinate the motions of their hands os that each hand performs different actions that serve a common goal
5 or 6 motnhs
36
the progress we observe in gross mototr and fine motor skills is due to what
combination of maturation (genetics) and experience
37
in Hopi culture, babies are secured to scradeboards for most of thie 1st year of life, when do they begin to walk
15 months -same as other cultures
38
the timing of an infants first steps is determined more by what
underlying genetic timetable than by specific experience or practice
39
when infants practise crawling on steep slopes, is there a transfer of skills to walking on sttep slopes and why
no -motions are different
40
why do some infants from african countries begin to walk months earlier than north american ones
they are given daily practice walking under the tutelage of a parent or sibling -also commnonly carried in piggyback style - develops muscles in infants trunk and legs
41
what do babies prefer, novel or familiar stimuli
novel
42
how do researchers use novel and familiar stimuli to see if babies can distinguish between 2 stimuli
prefer novel -repeat one stimuli (low pitched tone) until barely responds -present second stimuli (higher pitched tone) -if baby reacts, can distinguish between the 2
43
what are a newborns smell like
very good
44
what type of smells are babies good at recognizing
familiar
45
preterm infants who are exposed to smell of their mothers milk for 2 minutes prior to breastfeeding were found to what
feed longer and tended to have shorter hopsital stays in compirason to those who were nmto exposed
46
what are newborns sense of taste like
highly developed
47
infants will nurse more after their mother has consumed what
a sweet tasting substance
48
in preterm infants, what are the 2 mose sensitive indicators of pain perception
facial expression and heart rate
49
when can a baby start to hear
7 or 8 months gestation
50
what is auditory threshold
quietest sound that a person can hear
51
infants best hear what type of sound
pitches in the range of human speech -neither very high or low
52
when can infants recognixe their own names
4 and half months
53
how did they find that infants also use sound to locate objects
in dark shook a rattle at 2 different distances -would reach for it in the right direction when it was close -but didnt reach fi it sounded too far
54
around when does a child reach their full auditory capacity
30 months
55
what is visual acuity
smallest pattern that can be distinguised dependably
56
what ais premises about an infants visual acuity
-most will look at patterned stimuli instead of plain
57
how can we test an infants visual acuity
with one gray sqaure and one square of lines with equal spaces -put lines gradually closer -once baby looks at both sqaures equally indicates no longer abel to distinguish between the patterns
58
when is an infants visual acuity essentially same as normal adults
by first birthday
59
when can infants see full range of colours with how many cones
3 motnhs -3 diff types of cones
60
all the perceptual constancies of an infant are mastered by what age
4 months
61
what is the visual cliff
glass covered platform used for measuring infant depth perception
62
can babies percieve depth by the time they can crawl
yes
63
in the visual cliff study, what happens to 1 and half month olds and what does this show
heart rate decelerates -when people notice something interesting this happnes, suggesting they notch the deep side is different
64
in the visual cliff study, what happens to 7 month olds and what does this show
heart rate accelerates -sign of fear -only older, crawling babies are afraid of the deep side
65
what is retinal disparity
differences in psosition on the left and right reitnas for objects perceived to be nearby
66
when do infants use retinal disparity as a depth cue
4 to 6 months
67
what is texture gradient
cues for depth perception arising from an objects surface texture, with nearer objects having finer details and farther having coarser details
68
what is interposition
cues for depth perception arising from the degree to which an object is blocked from view by other objects, with nearer objects being in full view, and farther being partially obstructed
69
by what age to infants use most of their cues to judge distance
7 months
70
what plays an important role in defining objects
edges
71
when do infants start using edges to identify objects
early in first year
72
what are the 2 anatomically seperate visual systems that adults and infants have
-determining perception of objects -interpreting visual info from objects that are moving
73
what do 1 months and 3 months old focus on most when looking at a face
1 - edges 3 - anterior
74
newborns will look more at a stimulus that looks like a face rather than what
stimulus that is blank
75
when do babies have perceptual skills that allow them to begin to distinguis individual faces
2 or 3 months
76
what does the dynamic systems of theory of motor development suggest
learnign to walk involved differentiation o findividual skills in sequence such as maintaining balance and stepping on alternate legs, and then integrating these skills into a coherent whole
77
what is handedness determined by
heredity -can be influenced by experience and cultural values
78
aorudn the world, what is the asic timetable for motor milestones like and what does this indicate
similiar -underlying biological causes
79
specfic experience can accelerate motor devel. particulalry what kinds
complex motor skill
80
can babies hear
yes, but are less sensitive to higher and lower pitch sounds than adults
81
what is a newborns and 1 year olds visual acuity like
newborn -relatively poor 1 -can see as well as an adult with normal vision
82
what do ifnants use to distinguish objects
edges and motions
83
infants perceive faces early in the first year, but what is not clear
whether this ability is based on specific perceptual mechanismcs or on the same processes used to see other objects
84
can infants recognize by sight an object that theyv felt previously
yes
85
wjhat can infants do with what they see and hear
can integrate them
