 Infancy

0-12 months
Developmental Science
 Infantdevelopment is not an exact
  science, however developmental scientist
  have been able to construct
  development in infancy through average
  developmental milestones.
 Four developmental
  stages, cognitive, physical, social, and
  emotional development within infancy.
First Post: Cognitive
                 Development
    During the first 3 months Neuron Networks become more
    complex because the infants brain is making more connections
    everyday through different sensory exposer. As the infant grows
    throughout infancy those Neurons continue to progress and
    cause many different aspects of development and growth.
   The sucking reflex can be seen when the infant will suck on
    anything that comes in contact with its lips
     As they progress they will combine grasping with sucking or
       simply just staring while touching.
   The environment also can impact the cognitive development
    of an infant through exposer to different sensory
    experiences, and reactions to those experiences which will
    then influence behavior.
     Infant responds differently when it is exposed than when it is
       not exposed, can be tested through visual aids, auditory
       exposer, and touch.
Cognitive Development
   During the 3-6 month period cognitive development infants
    begin to progress outside themselves and
    respond, recognize, and interact with others and objects.
       The infant can respond to a familiar voice or sounds by
        smiling, turning head, or crying.
       The infant can recognize familiar people and objects from close
        range or at a distance.
       The infant can interact with others and objects by watching
        faces closely, watching moving objects, starts using hands and
        eyes in coordination with others and objects, and begins to
        make sounds and babble others and objects.
   The infant can demonstrate changes in their ability to
    cause change
       Ex. The different sounds a toy makes by the different ways it is
        maneuvered.
Cognitive Development
   During the 6-9 month period an infant is able
    to babble, trying to verbalize the sounds they
    hear and have better awareness of the world
    around them, with people and objects.
   They can coordinate schemes to produce a
    solitary act like crying for attention, or moving
    other objects to get to a desired object.
   They also have a more developed sensory
    ability, and able to learn that specific actions
    have reactions.
Cognitive Development
   During the 9-12 month period infants respond
    to others actions and words
       Can understand “no”
   Their babble now has inflections or changes
    in tone
   They can also use simple holophrases such as
    ma, mama, which can both indicate mother.
   In this stage infants can also easily fide hidden
    objects, or object permanence
Cognitive Development
 Object
  Permanence-
  which means
  people and
  objects still exist
  even when they
  cannot be seen.
 Mommy doesn’t
  disappear playing
  peek-a-boo.
Second Post: Physical
              Development
   Within the 0-3 month period of physical
    development the brain and the nervous system
    are the bases of development because the brain
    tells the body what to do, how to grow and move.
   However at this stage the body grows in a way it
    can function, with the most important parts being
    the head and mid-section.
       For instance at 0-3 months an infant develops
        visual abilities and bodily functions before they
        have the ability to navigate their limbs accurately.
       Movements and grasping are awkward and
        imprecise.
       Eating and rooting are also developed first.
Physical Development
   During the 3-6 month period an infant has the
    ability to move and control its body and limbs
    more than in the previous months.
       Now the infant can control its neck and
        head, lifting its head and chest while on its
        stomach.
       Practices kicking and swimming motions on
        stomach and back.
       Learns to grasp and swipe objects more
        efficiently.
       Pushes down on legs when feet are on hard
        surface.
       Can also sit with supportive aid, and later without
        aid.
Physical Development
   During the 6-9 month period many infants can
    move themselves in particular directions and
    start to develop the fundamentals of
    sitting, crawling, walking, precise grasping.
       At this age infants can usually sit without
        assistance.
       Most infants crawl in between 8-10 months and
        start walking at around 9 months with aids and
        supports.
       At around 8 months infants can grasp with
        thumb and finger, or hand eye coordination.
Physical Development
   By 9-12 months most infants can sit up on
    their own, pull themselves to a stand, walk
    holding on to furniture or sometimes without
    aids.
       For the most part it depends on the infant, but
        usually by a year old most infants can
        walk, however it is not uncommon for them to
        walk on their own after a year.
   At this age infants can also take objects out
    of objects/things and put them back in. They
    also tend to poke/point with their index finger.
Stages of Physical
  Development
Third Post: Social Development
   During the 0-3 month period, parents are
    usually the infants first playmates, there for the
    infant develops off of the parents social
    interactions, basically the parent teaches the
    infant how to act and respond.
       Infants as young as 3 months old can
        comprehend emotion through facial
        expressions, verbal tones, and body
        movements, which in turn causes the infant to
        develop social emotions they express through
        “smile,” enjoyment, disappointment, or sadness.
Social Development
   During the 3-6 month period social
    development will progress to smiling at
    familiar faces showing eagerness to interact
   Infant enjoys playtime and interactions and
    shows signs of disappointment when ended.
       However infant can self comfort.
   The infant is more able to communicate with
    body and face.
Social Development
   Infants within the 6-9 month period show more
    attachments to familiar caregivers, and show
    more anxiety with strangers.
   During the 9-12 month period infants can be
    shy, anxious, or outgoing and content.
       It depends on their exposer to others, and how
        often.
   Infants in this stage enjoy imitation, and will
    often repeat sounds and gestures.
   At this age infants will often test their
    caregivers response to their behavior.
Social Development
Fourth Post: Emotional
               Development
   At first during the 0-3 month period there is not
    much emotion that an infant understands.
       All an infant understands in survival instincts such
        as feeding, sleeping, and changing.
       Most of the time these are the only reasons an
        infant will distress.
   However if an infant is not allowed the
    opportunity to learn how to self sooth then
    that infant will require more soothing from
    outside influences
Emotional development
   During the 3-6 month period infants
    developed emotion identification.
   Where they are able to recognize the
    emotions in others through facial
    expressions, vocal expression, and body
    expression.
   Although some say that emotional expression
    may be inborn, and that expression might
    happen without witnessing it.
Emotional Development
   Within the 6-9 month period infants can
    display a sense of panic when emotional
    interaction is taken away.
       In some test it was shown how an infant would
        panic and start crying when a caregiver cease
        emotion and interaction.
       The test may have answered questions of
        whether or not infants need emotion to
        communicate.
       Is it possible that infants understand emotion
        enough to asses others moods?
Emotional Development
   During the 9-12 month period infants use their
    understanding of emotions to scheme and
    coordinate acts.
       They understand better the use of
        crying, laughing, smiling, kissing, and touch as
        ways to express wants and needs.
       They have also become aware of the emotions
        of others and are able to express empathy.
   Caregivers reactions also influence a child's
    emotions and how they deal with them.
    Which can also influence their temperament.
