Chapter 3

 How do the reflexes help newborns interact with the world?  How do we determine whether a baby is healthy and adjusting to life outside the uterus?  What behavioral states are common among newborns?  What are the different features of temperament? Do they change as children grow?

 Reflex- unlearned responses that are triggered by a specific form of stimulation  Some of these reflexes, such as rooting and sucking, appear to have survival implications  Other reflexes appear to be precursors for later voluntary motor behavior  The newborn reflexes may also reflect the health of the child’s nervous system

 Babinski  Blink  Moro  Palmer  Rooting  Stepping  Sucking

 The Apgar Index  -Heart rate  -Respirations  -Muscle tone  -Reflexes  -Skin tone  Optimal score – 10  >7 good condition  4-6needs special attention  3 or less – life threatening

 Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS)  -Includes 28 behavioral items  -Assesses infant’s autonomic, motor, state (ability to maintain a state as staying asleep or alert), and social systems

 Alert Inactivity – eyes open and attentive  Waking activity – eyes open but not focused, legs and arms move in bursts of un- coordinated activity  Crying – cries vigorously with agitated uncoordinated movements  Sleeping – eyes closed, breathing regularly to irregularly moving gently

 Basic Cry  -Starts softly and builds in volume and  intensity  -Often seen when the child is hungry  Mad cry  -More intense and louder  Pain cry  -Starts with a loud wail, followed by a long  pause, then gasping

 Cry 2-3 hrs a day  Many soothing techniques including driving in a car and swaddling  If crying softly during night parent may wait to see if child sooths itself  Mad cry respond immediately  Crying is babies effort to communicate

 Newborns sleep an average of hours daily  Newborns usually follow a sleep-wake cycle of around 3 hours of sleep followed by 1 hour of wakefulness  By 3 or 4 months, newborns usually sleep through the night  REM sleep (body is active, move arms and legs, eyes dart under lids, brain waves, heart, and respirations rapid) gradually decreases from 50% of the newborn’s sleep to about 25% at the age of 1 year

 2 yo sleep 13 hrs  4 yo give up naps and sleep longer at night  6yo 11hrs  Many struggle at night  Eliminate struggle with consistent bedtime routing

 The practice of sleeping in the same room or bed with the child  Research shows no evidence of increased dependence  Co-sleeping has the advantage of avoiding elaborate sleep-time rituals

 SIDS is the sudden unexplainable death of a healthy baby. Occurs mostly between 2-4 months  The exact causes of SIDS are unknown. May be related to parent’s smoking, the child sleeping on their stomach, premature, and overdressing  Risk is reduced when infants sleep on their backs  African American infants are twice as likely to die from SIDS because they are more likely to be placed on their stomachs to sleep

 Activity level  -Motor activity  Positive Affect  -Pleasure, enthusiasm, and contentment  Persistence  -Amount of resistance to distraction  Inhibition  -Extent of shyness and withdrawal  Negative Affect  -Irritability and tendency toward anger

 Temperament depends on hereditary, environment  Impact of heredity depends on child’s age –  Culture  Parents discipline style – more responsive parents produce more honest children

 Surgency/extraversion -How happy, active, and stimulation- seeking is the child?  Negative affect -Is the child angry, fearful, frustrated, shy and not easily soothed?  Effortful control -Can the child focus their attention and inhibit responses?

 Twin Studies  -The correlation of activity levels in  fraternal twins was found to be.38  -For identical twins the correlation in  activity level was found to be.72  -Similar findings for social fearfulness,  persistence, and proneness to anger

 Studies suggest that temperament tends to be somewhat stable throughout infancy childhood,and adolescence.

 Learning Objectives -How do height and weight change from birth to 2 years of age? -What nutrients do young children need? How are they best provided? -What are the consequences of malnutrition? How can it be treated? -What are nerve cells, and how are they organized in the brain? -How does the brain develop? When does it begin to function?

 Growth is continuous and orderly process  Cephalocaudal: “head to tail”  Proximodistal: “center to periphery”

 Growth is more rapid in infancy than during any other period after birth  Infants double their weight by three months  Infants triple their weight by 1 year  Average is not the same as Normal  Infancy  -Most rapid  Preschool to puberty  -Rate of growth slows

 Heredity and environment  Gender differences vs. cultural expectations  Disease  Prenatal influences  Socioeconomic status  Interpersonal relationships  Stress  Television and mass media

 2yo 40% of energy devoted to growth  Infants need appox 50 calories per lb of body wt. Adults need cal/lb  Breast feeding is best due to  Mothers antibodies, less illness  Less diarrhea and constipation  Transition to solid foods more easily  Cannot be contaminated Introduce iron rich cereal then vegetables, fruits, then meat gradually one at a time to determine allergies Bottle feeding - more allergies, safe if sanitary, others can feed infant, no differences in physical and psychological development

 Guidelines for picky eaters  Allow child to choose between different healthy foods  Allow to eat food in order they want  Offer new foods in small amounts one at a time, encourage, don’t force  Don’t force to clean their plates  Don’t talk about what child is or is not eating  Never use food to reward of punish

 10% of American households do not have adequate food  Malnutrition especially damaging during infancy because of rapid growth, damages the brain, affects ability to pay attention and learn  Problems – child listless due to lack of energy  Parents provide less stimulation  Tx adequate diet and parental training to provide stimulation

 Piaget  Sensorimotor phase  -Birth to 1 month –reflex stage  -1-4 months –primary circular reactions  -reproduction of an event that initially  occurred by chance  -4-8 months –secondary circular reactions  -repetition of an action involving an external object  -Imitation  -Play  -Affect

 Because growth is so rapid, young babies must consume large amounts of calories relative to their body weight  Breast feeding is the best way to ensure proper nutrition  New foods should be introduced one at a time.

 Nutrition-breast milk is the first choice only for the first 6 months  Introduction of solid foods  -Introduce foods at intervals of 4-7 days  to allow for identification of food allergies  Weaning from breast to bottle

 World-wide about 1-4 children under 5 are malnourished (UNICEF, 2006)  Malnourished children develop more slowly  Malnourishment is most damaging during infancy due to rapid growth rate

 The brain and the rest of the nervous system consists of cells known as neurons  Neurons consist of a soma, dendrites (receive information), the axon (sends information to other neurons), and terminal buttons  Terminal buttons release chemicals call neurotransmitters

 The brain has billion neurons  The wrinkled surface of the brain is called the cerebral cortex  The two halve of the brain are called hemispheres  The two hemisphere are connected by the corpus callosum  Left hemisphere - language  Right hemisphere – ability to perdieve emotions

 The brain weighs about three-quarters of a pound at birth  -about 25% of an adult brain  At around 3 years of age the child’s brain is about 80% of an adult’s brain weight

The brain grows rapidly during infancy and the toddler years, achieving 80% of its adult weight by age 3.

 Neural plate - A flat structure of cells formed 3 weeks after conception Neural tube – the brain and spinal cord forms at 4 weeks  By 28 weeks after conception, the brain has all the neurons it will ever have  In the 4 th month of prenatal development, axons begin to form myelin, which helps to speed transmission

 Synaptic pruning begins after first birthday  Excess and unused synapses are eliminated. Active synapses are preserved  Completed first for sensory and motor, then basic language and spatial, then attention and planning

 Studies of children with brain damage  Electroencephalogram (EEG) studies of infants  Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (F- MRI) tracks blood flow in the brain

 Research outcomes Specialization occurs before birth eg language Specialization becomes more focused with development, Stimulants become more specific  Different brain systems specialize at different rates e.g. self control not specialized until adulthood  Successful specialization requires stimulation from the environment. Experience expectant growth and experience dependent growth  Lack of specificity in youngsters results in plasticity of the brain

 Neuro-plasticity: The brain shows flexibility in the development of its organization  While individual’s brains show similar structure and function, environmental demands may affect organization and mapping of the brain

 Evidence-expectant growth  -The development of the brain is affected  by experiences that are common to most  human  Experience-dependent growth  -Changes in the brain that are not linked  to specific points in development and  vary across individuals and cultures

 Learning Objectives  -What are the component skills involved in  learning to walk? At what age do infants  master them?  -How do infants learn to coordinate the use  of their hands?

 By 7 months, infants can sit alone  At around 14 months toddlers may stand alone  Dynamic Systems Theory  -The idea that motor development involves  many distinct skills that are organized  and reorganized over time to meet  demands of specific tasks

 Infants are “top heavy” and easily lose their  Balance  Within a few months, infants use inner ear and visual cues to adjust posture  Infants must relearn balance each time they achieve new postures

 Many infants move their legs in a stepping- like motion as early as 6-7 months  Walking unassisted in not possible until other skills are mastered and the child is developmentally ready

 Dynamic Systems Theory - Walking skills must be learned separately and then integrated with others  Differentiation: Mastery of component skills  Integration: Combining them in sequence to accomplish the task  Culture affects speed of learning skills

 Some cultural practices encourage certain early motor skills  Various cultures have different practices that may discourage early motor development  Despite cultural differences in average age of skill development, children acquire skills within a normal range

 At 4 months, infants clumsily reach for objects  By 5 months, infants coordinate movement of the two hands  By 2-3 years, children can use zippers but not buttons  Tying shoes is a skill that develops around age 6 years

 Grasping objects- ages 2-3 months  Transfer object between hands-age 7 months  Pincer grasp age 10 months  Remove objects from a container -11 months  Build tower of two blocks- 12 months

 About 90% of children prefer to use their right hand  Most children grasp with their right hand by age 13 moths and a clear preference is seen by 2 years, well established by kindergarten  Preference is affected by heredity but environmental factors influence it too  Teachers used to encourage fight handedness  Not now, more left handed children now

 Are infants able to smell, taste, and to experience pain?  Can infants hear? How do they use sound to locate objects?  How well can infants see? Can they see color and depth? How do infants coordinate information between different sensory modalities, such as between vision and hearing?

 Newborns have a good sense of smell  -They turn toward pleasant and unpleasant  -They turn toward pads soaked in their own amniotic fluid, or odors of their mother’s breast Newborns can differentiate between tastes -They differentiate between salty, sour, bitter and sweet -Facial reactions are obvious reactions to sweet tastes

 Babies react to touch with reflexes and other movements  Babies react to painful stimuli with a pain cry  -a sudden high-pitched wail  -not easily soothed

 Startle reactions suggest that infants are sensitive to sound  6 month olds distinguish between different pitches as well as adults  By 7 months, infants can use sound to locate direction and distance

 Newborns respond to light and track moving objects with their eyes  Visual acuity (clarity of vision) is the smallest pattern that can be distinguished dependably  Infants at 1 month see at 20 feet what adults see at feet  By 1 year, the infant’s visual acuity is the same as an adult com

 Newborns perceive few colors  1 month old infants can differentiate between blue and gray, as well as red and green  3 to 4 month old infants can perceive colors similar to adults

 Visual cliff studies show that children as young as 6 weeks react with emotional indicators or interest to differences in depth  At 7 months, they show fear of the deep side of the cliff  Infants at 4-6 months use retinal disparity (the difference between the images of objects in each eye) to discern depth  Infants of 5 months use motion and interposition to perceive depth

 Children use cues to infer depth  -Kinetic Cues  -Visual Expansion  -Motion Parallax  -Retinal Disparity  By 7 months, children use pictorial cues such as:  -Linear Perspective  -Texture Gradient

 Perception of objects is limited in newborns but develops soon  Infant group objects together that have the same texture, color and aligned edges

 Newborns prefer to look at moving faces until around 4 weeks, then track moving objects  At first, infants process faces as though they are unrelated elements within a collection  By 7-8 months, infants process faces similarly to adults, as a unique arrangement of features

 Infants soon begin to perceive the link between visual images and sounds  Infants seem to pay more attention to intersensory redundancy, or information simultaneously coming from different sensory modes

 Learning Objectives  -When do children begin to realize that  they exist?  -What are toddlers and preschoolers self-  concepts like?  -When do preschool children begin to  acquire a theory of mind?

 9 month old infants smile at the face in the mirror but do not seem to recognize it as their own faces  By months, infants see the image in the mirror and touch their own face, suggesting that they know that the image in the mirror is theirs.  Preschoolers can describe their physical characteristics, preferences, and competencies

 By age 2, children understand that people have desires and these cause behavior  3 year olds can distinguish between the mental world and the physical world  4 year olds understand that behavior is based on beliefs that the beliefs can be wrong
