Basic Reflexes Birth to 1 month 2. Primary Circular Reactions 3. Secondary Circular Reactions 4. Coordination of Secondary Schemes 5. Tertiary Circular Reactions 1 to 4 months 6. Transition to Symbolic Thought © 2009 Allyn & Bacon Publishers 4 to 8 months 8 to 12 months 12 to 18 months 18 to 24 months Piaget’s Sensorimotor Stage Object Permanence • The realization that objects still exist when hidden from sight – 2 months – rudimentary expectations shown by surprise when an object disappears – 6 – 8 months – looking for a missing object for a brief period of time – 8 – 12 months – reaching for or search for a toy that is completely hidden © 2009 Allyn & Bacon Publishers Piaget’s Sensorimotor Stage Imitation • 2 months – can imitate actions they could see themselves make • 8 – 12 months – can imitate other people’s facial expressions • 1 year – imitation of any action that wasn’t in the child’s repertoire begins • 18 months – deferred imitation (a child’s imitation of some action at a later time) begins © 2009 Allyn & Bacon Publishers Challenges to Piaget’s Views – Piaget underestimated cognitive capacity of infants – He may have wrongly equated infant’s lack of physical ability with lack of cognitive understanding – Object permanence studies incorporating computer technology suggest it occurs much earlier than Piaget predicted © 2009 Allyn & Bacon Publishers Modern Studies of Object Permanence • Baillargeon – Babies as young as 4 months show clear signs of object permanence • Recent theories – Developing object permanence more a process of elaboration than of discovery © 2009 Allyn & Bacon Publishers Figure 5.1 Facial Gesture Imitation in Newborns © 2009 Allyn & Bacon Publishers Spelke’s Alternative Approach • Babies have inborn assumptions about objects and their movement • Violation of expectations method – Researchers move an object the opposite way from that which the infant comes to expect © 2009 Allyn & Bacon Publishers Figure 5.2 Spelke’s Classic Study of Object Perception Figure 5.2 © 2009 Allyn & Bacon Publishers Figure 5.3 Baillergeon’s Study of Object Stability Perception © 2009 Allyn & Bacon Publishers Figure 5.4 Toddler’s Understanding of Object Movement © 2009 Allyn & Bacon Publishers Learning, Categorizing, and Remembering • Learning – Permanent changes in behavior that result from experience • Classical conditioning – Learning of emotional responses as early as the first week of life – Stimulus-response connection • Operant conditioning – Both sucking responses and head-turning have been increased using reinforcement • Learning from models too © 2009 Allyn & Bacon Publishers Learning, Categorizing, and Remembering Schematic Learning • • The organization of experiences into expectancies or “known” combinations (schemas) Categories – By 7 months infants actively use categories to process information. – Cannot process levels of categories • Babies respond differently to animals versus furniture but not to dogs versus birds – Hierarchical or superordinate categories appear by age 2 © 2009 Allyn & Bacon Publishers Learning, Categorizing, and Remembering Memory • Carolyn Rovee-Collier’s research • Babies as young as 3 months can remember specific objects and their own actions for as long as a week Young infants more cognitively sophisticated than previously assumed • © 2009 Allyn & Bacon Publishers Figure 5.5 Rovee-Collier’s Study of Infant Memory © 2009 Allyn & Bacon Publishers The Beginnings of Language The Behaviorist View: B. F. Skinner • • • • • Begins with babbling, which parents reinforce Respond to grammatical use of words with reinforcement Withhold reinforcement for nongrammatical words Correct grammar reinforced, becomes more frequent BUT apparently NOT what happens—parents respond to all vocalizations © 2009 Allyn & Bacon Publishers The Beginnings of Language The Nativist View Noam Chomsky • Children make rule-governed grammatical errors • LAD – Language Acquisition Device – An innate language processor which contains the basic grammatical structure of all human language © 2009 Allyn & Bacon Publishers The Beginnings of Language The Interactionist View • • • • • Infants prepared to pay attention to language Extract general principles of language Language development part of broader process of cognitive development Language is used to express only those meanings the child has already formulated New words learned when they help communicate thoughts and ideas © 2009 Allyn & Bacon Publishers Influences on Language Development • Infant Directed Speech – Speech in a higher pitch – Adults repeat often, introduce minor variations, use slightly more elongated sentences – Babies prefer Infant Directed Speech to adult speech – A baby more easily imitates a correct grammatical form “recast” from his own sentences by an adult – Children whose parents talk to them a lot develop richer vocabularies and more complex sentences © 2009 Allyn & Bacon Publishers Early Milestones of Language Development • Birth – 1 month – Crying predominant sound • 1 – 2 months – Laughing and cooing sounds (aaaaa) • 6 – 7 months – Babbling; repetitive vowel–consonant combinations • 9-10 months – Hand gesture-vocalization combinations © 2009 Allyn & Bacon Publishers Word Recognition Receptive language • The ability to understand words • 8 months — begin to store words in memory • 9 – 10 months — can understand 20 – 30 words • 13 months — 100 words © 2009 Allyn & Bacon Publishers The First Words Expressive language • The ability to produce words • 12-13 months — babies begin to say first words • Words learned slowly in context with specific situations and cues © 2009 Allyn & Bacon Publishers The First Words • Holophrases – Combining a single word with gestures to make a complete thought – Used between 12 and 18 months • Naming Explosion – – – – Used between 16 and 24 months 16 months old – 50 words in vocabulary 24 months old – 320 words Vocabulary grows in spurts © 2009 Allyn & Bacon Publishers Figure 5.6 Vocabulary Growth in the Second Year © 2009 Allyn & Bacon Publishers The First Sentences • Sentences appear at 18 – 24 months • • Child has a threshold vocabulary of 100200 words Sentences short, generally 2 or 3 words, and simple – Sometimes called “telegraphic speech.” • Create sentences following rules © 2009 Allyn & Bacon Publishers Individual Differences in Language Development • Differences in rate of language development – A wide range of normal variations exists in sentence structures – Most children catch up – Those who don’t catch up have poor receptive language © 2009 Allyn & Bacon Publishers Individual Differences in Language Development • Differences in Style Expressive style – Early vocabulary linked to social relationships rather than objects • Referential style – Early vocabulary made up of names of things or people – Often advanced in understanding adult language © 2009 Allyn & Bacon Publishers Figure 5.7 Variations in the Rate of Language Acquisition © 2009 Allyn & Bacon Publishers Language Development Across Cultures • Cooing, babbling, holophrases, and telegraphic speech typically found in all languages • Use of specific word order in early sentences is not the same • Particular inflections are learned in highly varying and specific order © 2009 Allyn & Bacon Publishers Measuring Intelligence in Infancy • Bailey Scales of Infant Development – Measure sensory and motor skills – Help identify children with serious developmental delays – Not as useful predicting later intelligence • Measures of habituation MIGHT relate to later measures of intelligence © 2009 Allyn & Bacon Publishers
