Infants will dramatically lose weight after they are born, as they are taking out the fluid (via peeing), but then after they gain it. The brain: the experience expectant, how the environment affect our brain, affects how they are experienced. I. e. kids are universal listeners, when they experience certain sounds at 6 months. By age 2 they become more mobile, have natural exercise, toddle back and forth. Schemas is out basic structure for organizing information, is out web of knowledge.
