The purpose of this paper is to use the habituation technique in young infants to evaluate one hypothesis derived from Piaget’s theory of cognitive development. I will compare 5-months olds in a task that involves possible and impossible outcomes. Piaget’s theory specifies the cognitive competencies of children of this age. 1a. In their sensorimotor stage, from birth to age 2, children experience the world through their senses and actions (Myers, 2013).
Expected pattern of development for children and young people from birth to 19 years: Physical: changes in the body, growth, movement, how they see their environment. Communication Intellectual/cognitive: mental processes (language/memory/problem solving) used to acquire and use knowledge Social, emotional and behavioural (handling relationships with others and understanding themselves) Moral ( the process through which children develop proper attitudes and behaviour towards other people in society based on social and cultural norms, rules and laws) In reality these areas of development overlap as development in one area is enhanced and reinforced by growth in others. 0-1yr: In their first month infants spend most of their time asleep. They will try lifting their heads whilst lying on their fronts. Crying is the main form of communication and they will cry when hungry, in pain, need changing or simply need comforting.
Describe theories of development of thought, memory, and language. Explain the role of education in cognitive development. Explain Piaget’s stage of preoperational thought. Contrast physical growth rates in infancy with that during the early childhood period. In the first several days of life, most newborns lose 5 to 7 percent of their body weight before they adjust to feeding by sucking, swallowing, and digesting.
• Is able to communicate by clicking tongue and gurgling as well as cooing and crying. • By 4 months, they can start to fit their responses to the parents speech rythms and body language. 5 - 8 Months: • Can make three or more sounds in one breath. • Says about two separate sound syllables. • Recognizes and responds to their own name.
Understand Child and Young Person Development 1.1 EXPLAIN THE SEQUENCE AND RATE OF EACH ASPECT OF DEVELOPMENT OF CHILD FROM BIRTH TO 18 YEARS INTRODUCTION:- Child development refers to the biological and psychological and emotional changes that occur in human beings between birth and the end of adolescence, as the individual progresses from dependency to increasing autonomy. Because these developmental changes may be strongly influenced by genetic factors and events during prenatal life, genetics and prenatal development are usually included as part of the study of child development. Related terms include developmental psychology, referring to development throughout the lifespan, and pediatrics, the branch of medicine relating to the care of children. Developmental change may occur as a result of genetically-controlled processes known as maturation, or as a result of environmental factors and learning, but most commonly involves an interaction between the two. It may also occur as a result of human nature and our ability to learn from our environment.
Outcome 1 1.1 Explain the sequence and rate of each aspect of development that would normally be expected in children and young people from birth-19 yrs Physical Development 0-12 months * At birth the head will fall loosely if not supported. * By three months, able t6 35ft head up to 45 degrees when lying on their tummy. * By six months may be able to lift head when lying on their back. * Rolls over from front to back and visa versa. * By nine months will be able to sit alone for upto 15 minutes.
  Course: Supporting Teaching and Learning in Schools Level 3 Assignment Number: 1 Date Submitted: 26 March 2014 Number of pages: 31 Email: cathm73@gmail.com 2. Catherine Murphy Student Number – UK87439 Assignment 1 1.1 Summarise the main development of a child from the age range 0-2 years, 3-5 years and 5-8 years. The development of a child, refers to the process of learning new skills, abilities and acquiring emotional maturity. All development changes are because of genetic and environmental factors. Child development is the term given to the growth of babies through to childhood.
I will be explaining the principle psychological perspectives applied to the understanding of the development of individuals. One of the major theorists of cognitive development was Jean Piaget, who argued that cognitive development occurs in four different stages: 1. The sensori-motor stage (0-2 Years): during this stage children are very egocentric; they cannot see the world from the viewpoints of others. From birth to around 1 month old, infants use reflexes like rooting and sucking, relying on their five senses to explore the world around them. A couple of months on from this stage, an infant would learn to coordinate sensation with two types of schema: habit and circular reactions, causing a primary circular reaction.
Then they improve from using single words to complex words. By two they will use 30 to 150 words. After that they put words together into sentence. Ages 3 to 7 years 1. Physical development: They try to walk on tiptoe, walk up and down stairs.
REFLECTIVE JOURNAL ECE 205 Introduction to Child Development a. What has impacted your learning the most throughout this course? This course has impacted my knowledge of how important changes are that occur when a child grows and develops. This includes being physically healthy, mentally alert, emotionally sound, socially competent and ready to learn. As per research the first three years are critical in the shaping of a child’s brain construction and early experiences is the base of the brain’s organizational development leading throughout life.
