Document Summary
Chapter 4 infancy: early learning, motor skills, and perceptual capacities. Motor development: reflexes, voluntary motor skills. Learning: 4 types: habituation, classical conditioning, operant conditioning, observational learning. Sensory/perceptual development: nonverbal measures, behavioural, psychophysiological, nonverbal methods, preference methods, habituation-dishabituation method, operant conditioning method, visual development, seeing, visual component: form, pattern, contrast, color, auditory component, components: duration, pitch, intensity, location, gustatory development, olfactory development, tactile development. Motor development: newborns, no true voluntary motor skills, reflexes. Health of nervous system (nbas: absent, too strong, too weak, unequal strength on right and left, continue too long, e. g. , absent babinski may indicate lower spinal cord problems. Gross vs. fine motor skills: posture vs. manipulation. Gross motor skills: examples, 2 months lifts head, rolls, 6 months sits alone (supported, 7 months crawls, 9 months cruises, 12 months walking. Fine motor skills: palmar grasp (reflexive, 4 months ulnar grasp, 6 months functional asymmetry, 9 months pincer grasp. Genetics: universal order (cross-cultural studies, twin studies.
