Document Summary
Female"s egg cells and male"s sperm cells each have (cid:884)(cid:885) chromosomes. The (cid:884)(cid:885)rd pair of chromosomes determines the baby"s sex. Newborns" learning and memory adult attention: 2-year-old infants prefer human faces. Infants gaze at the same things that attract. Piaget"s stages - sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, formal operational. Sensorimotor - object permanence, a not b error. Zygote - a fertilized egg with 100 cells that become diverse, in 14 days the zygote turns in an embryo. At 9 weeks, an embryo turns into a fetus. Teratogens are chemicals or viruses that can enter the placenta and harm the developing fetus. Prenatal development: genetics: eventually, the infant becomes habituated (used to them) and responding decreases. This is habituation - which is adjusting, getting familiar w/ sounds. Infants as young as one month old can discriminate: they showed this preference on the day of their birth, suggesting that they have some memory of her voice from before birth.
