Q

Perception at 2 months

Study These Flashcards
A

prefer a “typical face”

25
Perception at 3 months
perceive facial differences
26
Perception between 4 and 6 months
respond more positively to a smile
27
Perception between 5 and 8 months
begin to perceive their own face
28
motor control- FETUS
discernible movement begins at 7 weeks hand to face contact and body rotation are seen at 10 weeks rhythmic suck-swallow pattern established at 6 months
29
motor control- NEWBORN
movements consist of twitches, jerks, and random movements involuntary motor patterns called reflexes
30
motor control- 2 MONTHS
oral muscle control to stop and start movement tactile stimulation is still needed
31
what contributes to determining cognitive development and enabling language?
both biology and experience
32
speech development- 2 MONTHS
"gooing" or "cooing" quasi-resonant nuclei- non-crying vowel like sounds
33
speech development- 3 MONTHS
vocalizes in response to the speech of others most responsive if his or her caregivers respond
34
speech development- 5 MONTHS
babbling consonant + vowel (CV) combos fully resonant nuclei- vowel like sounds
35
speech development- 5 and 6 MONTHS
reduplicated babbling CVCV repetitions consonant repertoire p,b,t,d,g,k; nasals, and the approximant /j/
36
echolalic speech or echolalia
immediate imitation of another speaker
37
variegated babbling
adjacent and successive syllables are not identical. sound sequences may also include VCV and CVC structures. (bada)
38
jargon
a pattern consists of long strings of unintelligible sounds with adult like prosody and intonation
39
phonetically consistent forms (PCFs)
consistent prosodic and speech-sound patterns (e.g. 'puda' - family cat or dog) created by a child may not be an imitation of the adult form-but an indication of sound-meaning relationship
40
attention and joint attention
the ability of an infant to focus on something while his mother discusses or manipulates it is important for learning and may be a precursor of focusing on a conversational topic joint attention- when a child can give attention to same item as their caregiver
41
what is better recall memory at 9 months related to?
its related to better gestural production at 14 months ex) recall memory- see the puppy and recalls a specific memory about interacting with a puppy, then interacts with a puppy in a similar way
42
during the 1st 3 months, what does a caregiver's response teach?
teaches a child the signal value of specific behaviors (stimulus-response sequence) immediate positive parental responsiveness increases a child to communicate the earlier and often you are responsive the more willing child is to communicate
43
intentionality
exhibited when a child begins to encode a message for someone else initially, communication intentions are expressed primarily through gestures (I.e. requesting, interacting, and attracting attention)
44
preintentional state (1/3)
begins at birth caregivers interpret the infant's behavior and respond accordingly toward the end of this initial period of intentional development - become more interested in manipulating objects (using toys, putting mouth) - begin to use gestures that demonstrate an understanding of object purpose or use communication is limited to cries, coos and use of the face and body nonspecifically
45
gesturational intentions (2/3)
begins at 8 to 9 months infants use conventional gestures, vocalizations, or both to communicate intentions extends objects towards others to show/bring atttention to them but does not release them
46
pointing
may include the whole hand or single finger with the arm extended by 12 mos. infant pointing to share with others, is a full communicative act
47
first words (3/3)
intent becomes encoded in words with or without gestures each language allows only certain syllable and phoneme sequencing structures, so predictability is high within words predictable familiar words and phrases become associated with familiar contexts helping early meaning to form ex) "night night" assoc. w bedtime
48
infant -elicited social behavior
consists of maternal adaptations in speech and language, gaze, facial expression, facial presentation and head movement, and proxemics maternal responsiveness is determined by the maturational level of the infance and culture-specific interactional patterns
49
what is infant directed speech?
characterized by higher pitch, short utterance length, simple syntax, and use of core vocabulary mothers paraphrase and repeat themselves children who are deaf and exposed to maternal signing from birth achieve all linguistic milestones at or before hearing children
50
what does infant directed speech do?
gain and hold the infant's attention establish emotional bond enable communication to occur at the earliest opportunity
51
gaze
a mother may remain in eye contact with her infant for a longer duration than in adult-directed conversations during play, maternal gazing occurs up to 70% of the time simultaneous with vocalization a mother monitors her infant's gaze, adjusting conversational topic accordingly
52
facial expression
mock surprise is used to initiate invire or signal readiness an exchange can be maintained or modulated by a smile or an expression of concern mothers use expressions to maintain infants' attention and aid comprehension
53
what are additional adaptations mothers use?
facial presentation and head movement to transmit messages (many games are accomplished by full-face presentation) proxemics- a mother communicates with her infant from a very close distance (as an infant gets older, american mothers communicate from a greater distance, which results in decreased touching and more eye contact)
54
infant and caregiver interactions are crucial for ....
crucial for infant learning and being able to participate in joint experiences
55
joint reference
presupposes that 2 or more individuals share a common focus identification of autism is partly based on lack of joint reference
56
joint action
refers to shared behaviors in familiar contexts, providing a structure in which language can be analyzed (I.e. a routine). familiar contexts - game playing - routines
57
protoconversations
contain the initial elements of emerging conversation initiation, mutual orientation, greeting, a play dialogue, and disengagement also involves turn taking
58
speech development- between 8-12 months
echo laic speech, variegated babbling, and jargon
