THE FIRST YEAR
• Average North American (full term) newborn ~ 20 inches long; 7 pounds
• Lose ~5 to 7% of body weight adjusting to feeding. Back to birth wt in 2 wks.
• Double birth weight by 5 months; nearly triple by 12 months
![Page 11: Lifespan Chapter 3 Online Stud](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061207/548748c3b47959140d8b541e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
THE FIRST TWO YEARS
1 year: ~30 inches tall. 2 years: ~35 inches tall—nearly half of their eventual adult height

INTEGRATING THE BODILY SYSTEMS: THE LIFE CYCLES OF INFANCY
Behavior becomes integrated through the development of various body rhythms
![Page 13: Lifespan Chapter 3 Online Stud](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061207/548748c3b47959140d8b541e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
SLEEP
• Considerable individual variation• newborns can sleep 16 to 18 hours a day (average
~16)• preferred patterns of sleep vary
• Infants spend a greater amount of time in REM (rapid eye movement) sleep• by 3 months of age, the percentage of time in REM
sleep decreases [next]

SIDS
• Children in U.S. = 1910 (2011)
• The leading cause of death in children under 1 year old (except for congenital abnormalities and short gestation)
• Risk of SIDS is highest at 4 to 6 weeks of age
• Occurs in children of every race and socioeconomic group
(Congenital abnormalities = 5013; Short gestation = 4106)
![Page 16: Lifespan Chapter 3 Online Stud](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061207/548748c3b47959140d8b541e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
DECLINING RATES OF SIDS
U.S. rates have dropped dramatically as parents put babies “back to sleep.”

• Move by themselves - 6 months
• Sit unsupported - 6 months.
• Crawling - 8-10 months• Standing with support - 8
months• Infants can walk holding
onto furniture by 9 months and walk alone by ~1 year.

BENEFITS OF BREAST FEEDING
• Appropriate weight gain; lowered risk of childhood obesity • Fewer allergies• Reduction of diarrhea, respiratory infections, bacterial and
urinary tract infections • Denser bones in childhood and adulthood • Reduced childhood cancer and reduced incidence of breast
cancer in mothers• Lower incidence of SIDS

INTRODUCING SOLID FOODS
• Most babies begin to eat solid foods b/t 4-6 months
• Foods are introduced gradually • Weaning
![Page 25: Lifespan Chapter 3 Online Stud](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061207/548748c3b47959140d8b541e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
DEVELOPMENT OF THE SENSES
Infants hear from the time they are born—and even before
![Page 26: Lifespan Chapter 3 Online Stud](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061207/548748c3b47959140d8b541e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
VISION
Infants show clear visual preferences that are present at birth:
• Prefer to look at patterns and complex stimuli, • Prefer to look at faces,• Minutes after birth they show a preference for
certain colors, shapes, configurations. Robert Fantz found
that 2- and 3-month-old infants preferred
to look at more complex stimuli.
![Page 27: Lifespan Chapter 3 Online Stud](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061207/548748c3b47959140d8b541e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
VISION, CONT.
• Newborn infants cannot see beyond a distance of 20 feet• By ~6 months, the average infant's vision is 20/20• Gibson's "visual cliff" experiments indicates depth
perception
![Page 28: Lifespan Chapter 3 Online Stud](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061207/548748c3b47959140d8b541e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
VISUAL PERCEPTION
![Page 29: Lifespan Chapter 3 Online Stud](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061207/548748c3b47959140d8b541e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
HEARING, TOUCH, AND PAIN
• Prenatally at 7 months, infants can hear sounds such as mother’s voice and music
• Immediately after birth, infants cannot hear soft sounds or pitch as well as adults do
• Infants also display amazing resiliency • Within several minutes after the circumcision
surgery (which is performed without anesthesia), they can nurse and interact in a normal manner with their mothers
![Page 30: Lifespan Chapter 3 Online Stud](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061207/548748c3b47959140d8b541e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
SMELL AND TASTE
• Newborns can differentiate odors• Sensitivity to taste might be present even before birth • At only 2 hours of age, babies made different facial
expressions when they tasted sweet, sour, and bitter solutions

Infant cognition develops through changes in the way children approach problems (infants learn by doing).
![Page 33: Lifespan Chapter 3 Online Stud](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061207/548748c3b47959140d8b541e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
ASSIMILATION AND ACCOMMODATION
• Processes of development• Schemes: • Behavioral scheme
• Mental scheme
• Assimilation: Using existing schemes to deal with new information or experiences
• Accommodation: Adjusting schemes to fit new information and experiences
Which one?1. Infant uses sucking schema to suck on larger bottle/nipple after presentation of smaller
one.2. One-year-old grabs every “round, rolly object” and tries to grab and throw; sees a beach
ball.

PIAGET
• Equilibration• Individuals go through four
stages of development• Cognition is qualitatively different
• Sensorimotor stage: Lasts from birth to about age 2.• Infants construct an understanding of the world by coordinating
sensory experiences (such as seeing and hearing) with physical actions
• Object permanence: Understanding that objects and events continue to exist:• When they cannot directly be seen, heard, or touched

SENSORIMOTOR STAGE
• Six substages Primary: reflexes determine interaction
• Accidentally sucks fist, feels good, so suck some more (provides info about the world = cognitive development).
• Secondary: Begins to act on world (e.g., Rattles a rattle)
• Repeats actions; Goal-directed behavior; Develops object permanence
• Tertiary circular reactions: deliberate variation of actions Miniature “experiments” Hit drum, then table, then floor, then
head with a stick
• Beginning of thought ~18-24 months of age• Mental representation
![Page 36: Lifespan Chapter 3 Online Stud](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061207/548748c3b47959140d8b541e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
EVALUATING AND MODIFYING PIAGET’S SENSORIMOTOR STAGE
• Motor emphasized at the expense of sensory -–largely ignores sensory and perceptual abilities of infants
• Piaget's claim that certain processes are crucial in stage transitions is not always supported by the data
• Some researchers conclude that infants’ perceptual abilities are highly developed very early in development
Criticism of Piaget

LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT
• All human languages have some common characteristics
• Receptive/expressive
You talkin’ to me?!
![Page 38: Lifespan Chapter 3 Online Stud](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061207/548748c3b47959140d8b541e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
KEY MILESTONES IN LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT
• Babies' sounds and gestures go through this sequence during the first year• Crying:• Cooing:• Babbling: [text is wrong]• First Words ~ 10 to 14 months
• Average is 15 words by 15 months; First words are typically
holophrases (Holophrastic stage ~12-18 months)
![Page 39: Lifespan Chapter 3 Online Stud](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061207/548748c3b47959140d8b541e/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
LANGUAGE SOUNDS
• ~ 2-years-old, children can form noun-
verb sentences• Overextension • Underextension

LEARNING THEORY/NATIVIST APPROACHES
• Learning theory• Chomsky > genetic;
innate mechanism • All languages > similar
underlying structure • LAD
• Interactionist view

INFANT-DIRECTED SPEECH (IDS)[MOTHERESE]
Use of this type of speech is related to the early appearance of words
