Infants really enjoy peek-a-boo –– the game where parents hide their face with their hand and then suddenly remove their hands from their face and say, "peek-a-boo!" For Piaget, this would be a good example of how infants lack:1 pointa. reversibility b. theory of mindc. object permanence d. centration e. conservation

In Piaget’s stage theory, a child who is entertained by Peekaboo – because they genuinely do not realise you are still there behind your hands – has not yet acquired:Question 3Answera.Deferred imitationb.Conservationc.Object permanence

In lecture, Professor Bloom discussed a study where infants view a possible event (a solid screen obscuring a solid object) and an impossible event (a solid screen passing through a solid object). In contrast to Piaget's conclusion regarding the age at which physical principles are understood, this study found that infants looked: 1 pointa. longer at the impossible than the possible event b. longer at the possible than the impossible event c. about equally long at both events d. for the object and tried to retrieve it in both conditions

When a newborn infant is touched on the cheek, the infant will turn its head toward the source of stimulation. This behavior is known as

n this video we are introduced to the appearance and disappearance of reflex behaviors in several newborn children. Watch the infants respond to various physical stimuli applied by the doctor. Think of the last time you watched a newborn move about and how the newborn reacted to sights, sounds, and touch. Create a list of the reflexes you remember being tested in the video, and write a short description of each. Be sure to note any you feel you need to learn more about.

A Defence of Baby-WorshipG. K. ChestertonThe two facts which attract almost every normal person to children are, first, that they are very serious, and, secondly, that they are in consequence very happy. They are jolly with the completeness which is possible only in the absence of humour. The most unfathomable schools and sages have never attained to the gravity which dwells in the eyes of a baby of three months old. It is the gravity of astonishment at the universe, and astonishment at the universe is not mysticism, but a transcendent common-sense. The fascination of children lies in this: that with each of them all things are remade, and the universe is put again upon its trial. As we walk the streets and see below us those delightful bulbous heads, three times too big for the body, which mark these human mushrooms, we ought always primarily to remember that within every one of these heads there is a new universe, as new as it was on the seventh day of creation. In each of those orbs there is a new system of stars, new grass, new cities, a new sea.There is always in the healthy mind an obscure prompting that religion teaches us rather to dig than to climb; that if we could once understand the common clay of earth we should understand everything. Similarly, we have the sentiment that if we could destroy custom at a blow and see the stars as a child sees them, we should need no other apocalypse. This is the great truth which has always lain at the back of baby-worship, and which will support it to the end. Maturity, with its endless energies and aspirations, may easily be convinced that it will find new things to appreciate; but it will never be convinced, at bottom, that it has properly appreciated what it has got. We may scale the heavens and find new stars innumerable, but there is still the new star we have not found—that on which we were born.But the influence of children goes further than its first trifling effort of remaking heaven and earth. It forces us actually to remodel our conduct in accordance with this revolutionary theory of the marvellousness of all things. We do (even when we are perfectly simple or ignorant)—we do actually treat talking in children as marvellous, walking in children as marvellous, common intelligence in children as marvellous. The cynical philosopher fancies he has a victory in this matter—that he can laugh when he shows that the words or antics of the child, so much admired by its worshippers, are common enough. The fact is that this is precisely where baby-worship is so profoundly right. Any words and any antics in a lump of clay are wonderful, the child's words and antics are wonderful, and it is only fair to say that the philosopher's words and antics are equally wonderful.Question 1Which statement best summarizes the main idea of the passage?ResponsesA Babies are worthy of reverence because of their ability to escape reality.Babies are worthy of reverence because of their ability to escape reality.B Babies are worthy of reverence because of their ability to express emotion.Babies are worthy of reverence because of their ability to express emotion.C Babies are worthy of reverence because of their simultaneous ferocity and fear.Babies are worthy of reverence because of their simultaneous ferocity and fear.D Babies are worthy of reverence because of their simultaneous curiosity and innocence.Babies are worthy of reverence because of their simultaneous curiosity and innocence.Question 2Which two statements below give the most accurate rendering of the author's expressed perspective?(Remember to choose two.)ResponsesA Babies recognize the wonder of creation.Babies recognize the wonder of creation.B Babies recognize the complexity of the universe.Babies recognize the complexity of the universe.C Babies may be a burden, but they are a delightful burden.Babies may be a burden, but they are a delightful burden.D Babies have a spiritual maturity that most grown-ups people lack.Babies have a spiritual maturity that most grown-ups people lack.E Babies have an emotional immaturity that coincides with great happiness.
