Baillargeon's Journal Article Analysis

Babies are unfamiliar with the outside world when born. They need to find familiarity and they do this by a process called “Perceptual discrimination”. Although babies can’t see well they discriminate between faces, sounds, and smells starting as early as three days old. This helps them feel calm and trust their environment. During the many studies conducted pertaining to the baby’s visual perception they show that the babies tend to have more visual stimuli when looking at a familiar face. Especially when looking at their own mothers face rather than a strangers face. When doing smell tests it showed that the babies preferred their mother’s breast milk rather than another women’s breast milk and they also prefer the smell of their mother to

The physical development of a baby in its first six months of life shows limited range of movement but the beginnings of an ability to respond to stimulus around them. They show their reaction to people, sounds and movement by turning their head toward whatever attracts their attention. They will watch an adult’s face whilst feeding, but have already begun to shows signs of recognition as they will smile when familiar people are around them either because they can see them

Figure 2 contains results from the experiment. The results bear strongly on the experimental hypothesis. The experimental hypothesis is that infants will be able to use words and images

In this article, J. Holt, R. Blevins and B. Kuhns used the rational choice perspective through the article to explain how johns/ offenders adapt to law enforcement pattern to avoid being detected of committing crimes. Even when law enforcement makes measures to prevent offenders from committing crime, that does not stop the offender, rather, it makes the offender(s) change the way they are going to commit the act in a way that they would not get caught. Offenders can continue to adapt to these law enforcement changes that are constantly being made which also include police patrols around the neighborhoods, and grow more aware when to do something and when not to do something. Prostitution is usually categorized as a low risk crime but lately

Jadyn Pereira is a grade 10 student currently attending Cardinal Leger Secondary School in Brampton Ontario. His interests include watching soccer, reading books and watching YouTube videos.He is currently a member of the Cardinal Leger cross country team and track team and furthermore is in the extended French program. At home, he has two sisters, an elder sister who is currently at University and a younger sister at elementary school. This year in grade 10 academic science Jadyn was able to apply and extend his knowledge from grade 9 science and gain knowledge in new topics. In order to help future students study for exams, Jadyn wrote the …. magazine to be used as a study guide for students and a reference for

I think it would be very interesting to look more at the brains of human infants and nonhuman infant primates to see the exact areas that fire when a human infant sees their mother or holds eye contact, and compare that to the brain of chimpanzee or another human primate to compare which areas are developed and contribute to human advances in interaction and understanding of social

In the three articles, Schlosser et al (2015), Sereni-Massinger (2015) and Thurber (2015), they explain these types of diversity. In the article by Sereni- Massinger, she talks about cultural diversity, which can be defined as a variety of cultural, ethnical groups in a society. In the article by Schlosser, it covers ethnic diversity, which is defined as groups of people and people based on ethnicity, race, socioeconomic status, gender, religion, and sexual orientation.

Lucy and Bratt have been together for about two months now. One evening, while on the phone with Bratt, Lucy finds a moment of silence to recollect her thoughts, then she slowly speaks to Bratt,

For this technique, two objects or patterns are simultaneously shown to an infant. If the infant looks at one of the objects longer than the other, the researcher can infer that the baby is able to discriminate between them and has a preference of one over the other. Habituation is another method that is used to study sensory and perceptual development in infants. For this procedure, a researcher presents an infant with a particular stimulus until the infant’s response to it decreases. Then a new stimulus is presented. If the infant’s response to it increases, the researcher can then conclude that the baby can distinguish the new from the old

The United States consumes more than 25% of the world’s petroleum products which is a large percentage, considering only 3% of the world’s oil reserves are produced by the United States. Given the demand for petroleum products such as gasoline, understanding why Crude oil prices have skyrocketed in recent years, is not hard. According to the article “Ending America’s Oil Addiction,” the surge in crude oil prices can be reduced in large part to the simple concepts of supply and demand. (Cooper, 2008)

Beatty, Blow, and Crossley (2013) use detailed data from older households in the UK to test the trade-off between keeping warm during unseasonably cold weather and food expenditures. Their result shows that the poorest of older households experience a reduction in grocery and food expenditures to pay the extra cost of heating during the worst temperature

In this week June 11th through June 14th of 2018 at College of the Desert I have learned three specific topics in my english class with Professor Tapleshay. For a start, my first topic is learning good habits on engaging with my fellow classmates in the Edge program at COD including Professor Tapleshay. In fact, to also get rid of the closed doors that kept my voice locked up for four years at Rancho Mirage High School. My second topic is about the three rules of Professor Tapleshay’s class which are number 1. Show up, number 2. Show up on time and number 3. Do your work. To add on, these three fundamental rules impact my attitude by making me realize how the COD college level classes are going to be this fall which shows how I need to have

Gazing plays a central role in the social and cognitive development of a child. It is documented that from the age of 3 months, a child will begin to develop perceptual learning. An example of this hypothesis was tested with an actor holding a stuffed kitten in front a 1 year old. The 1 year old stared at the kitten longer, therefore the infant’s desire for what the actor was holding caused the infant to interpret the actor’s behavior as

The same infants had accelerated hearts in the paradigm and crawled directly over the glass. Therefore heart rates are not justifiable as symptoms of fear. An observation that supports this is that infants do not show fearful expressions when in this experiment, they are often seen smiling. Infants are believed to enjoy problem solving and deciding how to navigate obstacles. Regardless of whether the infants go over the cliff or avoid it their facial expressions are not negative, often neutral or positive.

Observation of an infant in the family setting 'provides the observer with an opportunity to encounter primitive emotional states in the infant and his family...' (Rustin in Miller, 1989, 7). According to Rustin infant observation allows to 'explore the emotional events between infant and mother' and 'the aim is to describe the development of the relationship between infant and others (...) and try to understand the unconscious aspects of behaviour and patterns of communication' (Rustin in Miller, 1989, 7). Early infant observation plays a vital role in the psychodynamic training and it gives a thesis of how early emotional development is being influenced by subconscious family dynamics.
