Study Of The Origin, Or Beginning ( Genesis ) Of Knowledge

Babies will bring their hands together intentionally and soon after will try to bat at objects or grasp things

Unoccupied play - Generally the young infants will engage in this type of play. They tend to be looking at their hands or keeping to themselves. They don’t seek contact with another

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

Babies enjoy rhythm time and peek a boo games of hiding and repetition. The use of blurring and babbling will occur. The bonds with parents are

Between the age of six months to nine month they will be able to play simple games such as peek a boo. At nine months often a child laughs when he sees others laughing or cries when others cry. At their first birthday their intellectual development has increased. At the age of two children enjoy ‘pretend’ play and act out fantasies.

In this short video, there is a toddler about two years old (as stated by the original poster of the video in a comment below). She is playing with a kitchen set, pretending and using her imagination (ex. pretending there is ketchup in the play ketchup bottle when she puts it on her toy’s food). She is demonstrating imitation, by copying behavior that she has seen before. We can assume that this is from a parent/guardian working in the kitchen and serving food. Children learn most from observation of important people in their lives as well as their surrounding environment. This role play has her cooking and serving her stuffed animal and doll seated at the table. She is talking to herself and her toys, babbling nonsense, as she makes the food

Babies do not come out knowing how to walk or talk. Babies at first tend to control their head and nick before they learn how to move their arms and legs. When babies learn new skills they build new skills on top of old skills. When they are born, they have reflexes that help them preform everyday tasks, such as crying, kicking, and drinking milk, but some of these reflexes fade away. Seven of the most prominent reflexes babies have are sucking, head turning, rooting, grasping, stepping, Moro response, and tonic neck. The sucking reflex help the baby drink milk. The head turning reflex help the baby turn his head if there is anything bothering him. The rooting reflex help the baby find a food resource which is the mother’s breast, the rooting

During the oral stage, which occurs from birth to 1 year, the infant's primary source of interaction occurs through the mouth, so the rooting and sucking reflex is especially important. The mouth is vital for eating, and the infant derives pleasure from oral stimulation through gratifying activities such as tasting and sucking. Because the infant is entirely dependent upon

Starting from infancy children start with sensorimotor play which consists of only motor activity (Ungerer, Zelazo, Kearsley, & O'Leary, 1981). A young child that likes to shake a rattle to hear the sound is engaging in sensorimotor play. Infants also engage in imitation. Imitation is the replication of the activities of another when they can see the activity being done (Frahsek, Mack, Mack, Pfalz-Blezinger & Knopf, 2010). The child and the type of play they engage in will grows more complex as the child’s development advances (Piaget, 1962).

Toddlers benefit from exploring the possibilities of using basic items, and engaging in symbolic play. This hands-on development provides opportunities for both receptive and productive language development. Toddlers engage in trial-and-error-learning, as they test hypotheses about how things work and explore cause-and-effect relations.

In this chapter, the author summarized three classic theories of learning and cognition. First, Skinner’s behavioral theory, which is a theory of operant conditioning, based upon the idea that changes in behavior are the result of an individual's response to the events occur. It depends on the reinforcements or punishments, which appear in the environment. Second, Piaget’s Theory of cognitive development, it is comprehensive theory about the nature and development of human intelligence. Piaget believed that the childhood plays a fundamental role in the development of cognition and his theory is known as a developmental stage theory. Last but not least, Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory is the third theory

Many people feel that rough play is one of the most difficult behaviors within small children. However, young children love this type of physical play. This type of play is usually strong, fierce, and rugged. This play may be known as the “big body play” rugged and tumbled play, violent manner, or play fighting. These forms of play can be seen with other children, they are called by different names such as King of Mountain, Red Rover, Freeze Tag, Steal the Bacon, Duck-Duck-Goose and many more names. Infant children use their bodies to learn. Some of the things infant children do is roll back and forth, kick their legs, and wave their arms, sometimes when they are alone or sometimes when they are beside another baby. Another thing that infants do is crawling on top of each other. When infants get bigger, they use their bodies to stand up, push off, and move themselves forward and backward. The toddlers yank each other firmly, and shove each other down. When children reach the preschooler ages, the demonstrate physical ways of connecting and learning to go after a foreseeable influence of characteristics such as running, casing, fleeing, and dropping to the ground on top of each other. The young children body play is sometimes lonely. However, the preschooler finds enjoyment by running around, dancing, and spinning, rolling over the floor and on the ground, and or hopping and skipping by themselves. There are some

During Piaget’s quest to answer this very question, he changed the history of how we view cognitive development. His research led to the development of the “theory of Genetic Epistemology” (Plucker, 2003).
