Module 6 Lab Report

During the Sensorimotor stage (between birth and the age of two), Piaget claims that sensory and motor skills are developed, as well as claiming that infants are unable to grasp object permeance until eighteen to twenty-four months; Piaget argued that if a child could not see the item, it no longer existed to them. When the child’s age was between nine and ten months, more experiments were done into object permeance, resulting in the 'a not b ' test, in which one object was hidden underneath an item, and then switched. Despite the obvious difference in sizes underneath the two objects, the child would still believe the item to be under where it was originally found. Furthermore, Aguiara and Baillargeon (2002), suggested the violation of expectation; using the example of a doll moving between two opaque objects and reappearing in the centre – the child will then be surprised, as to them the object had no longer existed.

The mole is a convenient unit for analyzing chemical reactions. Avogadro’s number is equal to the mole. The mass of a mole of any compound or element is the mass in grams that corresponds to the molecular formula, also known as the atomic mass. In this experiment, you will observe the reaction of iron nails with a solution of copper (II) chloride and determine the number of moles involved in the reaction. You will determine the number of moles of copper produced in the reaction of iron and copper (II) chloride, determine the number of moles of iron used up in the reaction of iron and copper (II) chloride, determine the ratio of moles of iron to moles of copper, and determine the number of atoms and formula units involved in

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

The “Toy Paper” is a research paper requirement for Child Development which we complete an in-depth analysis of the usefulness of a specific toy of our choice. The toy itself will be evaluated by three various stages in relation to cognitive, developmental, social and cultural perspective. The toy I have chosen for my topic to write about is the “Laugh & Learn Smart Stages Puppy” which is a toy designed by Fisher Price for children ranging in age 6 to 36 months it contains 50+ sing along songs, tunes and phrases. It has 7 activations modes which respond to a child’s touch including a light up red heart. It assists in developing a child’s sensory and fine motor skills. The stages of development vary with each child this toy allows a parent to program it according to the

An explanation of the impact of current research into development and learning of babies and young children.

Laura Schulz’s presentation, The Surprisingly Logical Minds of Babies, explores the idea of how babies and young children are able to learn so much in such a short span of time. In Schulz’s presentation, the viewers see multiple video experiments where she introduces babies to different balls and toys that make noises. I choose to explain and break down the first experiment, that she discusses. In the first experiment Schulz has a colleague reach into a bucket with mostly blue balls and a few yellow balls. The colleague pulls out three of the balls and when she takes each ball out she squeaks them. The colleague then pulls out a yellow ball and hands it to the baby. The child copies what Schulz’s colleague has done, but however the

At 6 months approximately a child is able to hold objects in palms. They are also able to estimate the distance between his hands and the objects. They are able to turn objects in the hands while looking at it closely. The child can also observe the differences of shape, size and texture of an object. And places objects into the mouth for “inspection”.

Do babies get bored? Let’s find out. In this simple experiment, it will be seen how much a baby is interested in toys or objects. By counting how many seconds the infant stares at them can help reveal what is inside the baby’s mind as shown by the baby’s behavior in terms of staring at and then looking away from the toys. What is being observed in this experiment is the length of time the baby pays attention to a given toy before the baby looks away from the object. So the baby is introduced to certain toys several times until the baby gets used to or habituated to them. This simple experiment will tell us how the baby’s brain works and how this may affect the baby’s learning skills in the future.

2. (5 pts) List and explain the names and affiliations of the various characters/stakeholders in this story – I’m looking for us to use the story to map out the complexities that are generally associated with solving public health puzzles – the stakeholders you list and explain here should apply to many of the cases we consider going forward.

I never realized when I played Peek-A-Boo with different infants in my family, that I was teaching them one of the most valuable lessons in their life. I just thought it was a game that infants liked to play and it made them laugh. I didn’t know that this was so funny to them because they were fascinated with the fact that for one moment I wasn’t there and a moment later I popped back up. Little did I know I was teaching them one of their most important accomplishments.

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

Infants begin experimenting different sounds and actions through a trial-and-error pattern in order to be exhibited to the parent’s attention often. During this stage, infants show goal-directed behavior displaying purposeful responses to other people. For instance, a crawling baby will show goal-directed behavior by crawling to a covert in the kitchen, where his sippy cups are stored, taking one out holding it up and grunt to his father as if to say, “I’m thirsty!” Their actions are purposeful. Another important thing happening in the secondary circular reactions sub stage four is that infants achieve object permanence. Object permanence is when an infant is watching an object which then disappears, the infant is still thinking about it or can try to look for object. Even if it is out of sight, it is still on

Infants show their attention to new and eye – catching events. For example, they have sustained attention towards new toys, bright colors, videos etc. Adults can help the infants’ development is sustained attention by letting the infant explore different things whenever they can, like having as many toys around the infant’s visible range and letting them choose what toy it wants. When it comes to toddlers’ sustained attention, it’s relatively developed and they use their sustained attention to fulfill their goals. For example, building a wall from building blocks to achieve its goal. Their sustained attention had a rapid increase between 2 and 3 ½ years of their age

Assessment: Show a toy to an infant before hiding it and see if the infant would search for the object.

According to the researchers at the Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences at the University of Washington, they stated that one of the best strategies for babies almost 10 months old to learn a new language than using a video or audio recording is by interacting with people. They discovered an early social behavior that can enhance a baby’s ability to learn new language sounds is called gaze shifting. Gaze shifting is when a baby makes eye movement to an object as the other person. According to Brooks, he addressed that the early social behavior, gaze shifting works as a building block when babies learn more complex language and social skills. Researchers testified the skill with a foreign language tutor and a baby using toys to measure how
