ommunication Describe the expected pattern of children and young peoples communication development from birth to nineteen years. Communication development it anything to do with our speech and language development, the way we interact with the world around us, gather information, social awareness of situations and how to conduct ourselves when building relationships, among other things. Birth - 4 Months: • Coos, then babbles. These first sounds, apart from crying are intentionally made to show pleasure. Crying with different tones and intensities communicates a need or unhappiness.
The Sensorimotor stage ranges from birth to two years. During this period the infant processes from reflexive, instinctual at birth till the beginning of symbolic thought. The infant constructs an understanding of the world by coordinating sensory experiences with physical actions. Preoperational stage ranges from two to seven years and is when the child begins to represent the world with words and images; these words and images reflect increased symbolic thinking and go beyond the connection of sensory information and physical action. The third stage known as Concrete Operational is from the age of seven to eleven years.
Although some children will develop normal speech and language skills without treatment by the time they enter school, it is important to identify those who will not. Many people falsely believe that speech-language treatment cannot and should not begin until a child begins to talk. Yet, research has shown that children know a great deal about their language even before the first word is said. For example, children can distinguish between their native language and a foreign language, use different nonverbal utterances to express different needs, and imitate different patterns of speech through
Ainsworth’s strange situation The strange situation was an experiment carried out by Mary Ainsworth to measure and test the nature of attachment between an infant and their caregiver. The strange situation (SS) was used to look at how infants react under a stressful situation e.g. separated from caregiver (causing separation anxiety) and also the presence of a stranger (stranger anxiety). Furthermore it aimed to encourage infants to explore. There were a panel of experienced judges that observed the behaviours that were observed between the infants and caregivers.

A major debate in the field of child cognitive development is whether certain aspects of development are learned or innate. It is a continuation of the classic dispute between the nature vs nurture elements of development. The chapter and articles delve into this debate with visual and auditory perception in children and provides empirical evidence towards whether or not infants are born with the ability to detect and distinguish these perceptions. There is a large consensus that perceptual functioning in children reaches adult like levels fairly quickly during the first year of development Siegler (2005). Thus, recent research has focused on how early a child can detect and distinguish different perceptual stimuli to further our understanding
Infantile amnesia is often thought of as a paradox, since it is known that infants' and young children's minds handle a lot of new impressions and are considered adept at learning, and yet it is believed that memories are only created after some fundamental developments of the brain are completed. Research has been done since the early 19th century, but defining and probing for the earliest memories is a problem. Often, subjects have heard stories about their childhood that mix with their real memories and make it difficult to differentiate what was actually remembered. Often too, a subject's earliest claimed memory is not confirmable. For this reason, memories like the birth of a younger sibling have been used in experiments when probing for the earliest possible memories.
Unit 201 Child and young person development From birth until 19 years of age children and young people will tend to exhibit certain similarities which have complied into a development plan. Although children and young people are different and have different experiences, they grow and develop in a similar way. Babies are usually born at 40 weeks, which is a full term pregnancy. At this early stage they show signs of recognition towards their mother, they know her voice and smell. They even know that if they cry it is a sign of distress which lets people know they need help.
Another example would be a toddler listening to adults speaking and developing a related synapse. The toddler's neural system are responsible for language and speech, they receive what is heard to organize and function as they grow older. People may not realize that the ability to adapt in environmental change is important and normal in our every day lives. 2. Explain how early experience can affect brain mechanisms that influence stress tolerance in later life.
First language acquisition. In regard to human beings' mother tongue development, Chomsky (1965) declares through his universal grammar theory that children are born with the capability of understanding and analyzing the syntax of any language they are exposed to and extract its grammatical rules to make new sentences. The author labels this skill were children experiment with the language “the creative aspect of a language”. Second language acquisition. One of the expositors of this field is Weinreich (1953) who claims that there are two different denominations of bilinguals.
