interactions with caretakers, culture, genetics, age and experience of mother
Calm babies appear to learn faster Babies require more REM sleep than adults

HABITUATION Exploration stops and baby’s attention moves
elsewhere as s/he becomes habituated to a stimulus
Key to Good Infant Care: keep consistency in the environment and schedule with small changes to keep infants engaged
Different babies have different tolerances for change and stimulation
