Prenatal Developmentb. Stage of Parental Developmentc. Competent Newbornd. Conception… Zygotee. Embryo… Fetusf. Teratogen RisksIII. New Born Skills and BehaviorsIV. Structure of the Womba. Embryonic Sacb. PlacentaV. Critical Periodsa. First few weeks do not harmb. Implantationc. Development of central nervous systemVI. Dangersa. Teratogensb. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)c. Maternal MalnutritionVII. Fetal LifeOutline of Current Lecture I. Infancya. Baby memoryII. ChildhoodIII. Brain Developmenta. Wombb. Birthc. Infancyd. NurtureThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.IV. Motor Developmenta. Maturationb. Social and Emotional DevelopmentV. Maturationa. Experience (nurture) can adjust the timing, but maturation (nature) sets the sequenceVI. Cognitive Developmenta. Cognition b. Problem solving figuring out how the world works. c. developing models and conceptsd. storing and retrieving knowledge. e. understanding and using language f. using self-talk and inner thoughts.g. Jean Piaget (1896-1980)h. Sensorimotor Stage (birth- age 2)Module 10: Infancy and ChildhoodCurrent LectureVII. Infancyi. Newborns growing almost into toddlersb. Baby memoryi. Infantile Amnesiaii. Brain forms memories differently from the episodic memory of adulthoodthat most people cannot really recall memories from first 3 years of lifeVIII. Childhoodi. Toddlers growing almost into teenagersii. Neural connections proliferate in association areasiii. Enables advancements in controlling attention and behavior (frontal lobes) and in thinking, memory, and language.IX. Brain Developmenta. Wombi. Number of neurons grows about 750,000 new cells per minute in the middle trimester.b. Birthi. Connections among neurons proliferate. We form more branches and more neural networks.c. Infancyi. Growth in neural connections takes place initially in the less complex parts of the brain (the brainstem and limbic system), as well as the motor and sensory strips.ii. Enable body functions and survival skillsd. Nurturei. Repeated practice at a finger-tapping task begins to activate a larger groups of motor neuronsX. Motor Developmenta. Maturationi. Takes place in the body and cerebellum enabling sequence belowii. Physical training cannot change timingb. Social and Emotional DevelopmentXI. Maturationi. Biologically-driven growth and development enabling orderly (predictablysequential) changes in behavior. development over a passage of timeb. Experience (nurture) can adjust the timing, but maturation (nature) sets the sequenceXII. Cognitive Developmenta. Cognition i. refers to the mental activities that help us function, including: b. Problem solving figuring out how the world works. c. developing models and conceptsd. storing and retrieving knowledge. e. understanding and using language f. using self-talk and inner thoughts.g. Jean Piaget (1896-1980)i. studied the errors in cognition made by children in order to understand inwhat ways they think differently than adults.ii. We don’t start out being able to think like adults. iii. Schema1. Early tool to organize those experiences. A mental container we build to hold our experiences2. Take the form of images, models, and concepts3. Infants mind works hard to make sense of our experiences in the worldh. Sensorimotor Stage (birth- age 2)i. In this stage, children explore by looking, hearing, touching, mouthing, and
