•Infant Scientist!
•Children learn about the world
through their senses and body
movements
•Stage broken into 6 different steps
2.
Steps divided by age

Birth to 1 month
1 to 4 months
4 to 8 months
8 to 12 months
12 to18 months
18 to 24 months
3.
Stage One: Birth to 1 month
Practices inborn reflexes
Infants are only aware of
themselves
They do not understand
themselves as a a separate
person
Stage Two: 1 to 4 months
•Learn to combine two reflexes
• For example:
•wave their fists and then bring it to their mouths
Stage Three:
4 to 8 months
• They respond to other stimuli
• Improves hand-eye coordination
•For example
•baby bumps a rattle and it makes a noise,
they may try to bump it again.
4. Stage Four: - 8 to 12 months
Intentional behavior
•They learn certain
actions lead to certain
results
•Imitates others
They learn to
follow objects
with their eyes
•Love playing
Peek-A-Boo
5.
Ten months- learn Object Permanence
•Objects continue to exist
even when out of sight
•Can find partially hidden
objects
Stage Five:12 to 18 months
•Trial and error:
•Push a cracker off high chair
and watch it fall to the floor.
•Then does it again
•Can find hidden objects
•Understands objects exist
independently
Stage Six: 18 to 24 months
•Begin to experiment mentally as
well as physically
•They think about what they are
going to do before they do it

• Questions???????
Key Terms
• Check your answers
brain stem
• Controls involuntary activities such as
breathing
cerebrum
• Directs motor activities
Cerebellum
• Controls muscular coordination, balance,
and posture
pituitary gland
• Releases hormones that control
metabolism and sexual development
spinal cord
• Controls simple reflexes that do not
involve the brain
Thalamus
• Controls the way emotions are expressed
Dendrite
• Receives information from other neurons
and passes it on to the body of the nerve
cell; reaches toward dendrites of other
neurons for transmission
cell body
• Processes the information received
Axon
• Carries information from cell body to
dendrites at its tip; releases
neurotransmitters
Myelin
• Coating on axons that makes transmission
easier
Synapse
• Gap between dendrites of different
neurons across which neurotransmitters
travel to relay information from one neuron
to another
Stimulation
• To encourage something such as an
activity or a process so that brain activity
will begin, increase, or develop
Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive
Development
• A theory made up of:
– sensorimotor period
– preoperational period
– concrete operations
– formal operations
sensorimotor period
• A period in Piaget’s Theory where children
learn through the senses
object permanence
• The knowledge that objects have an
existence in time and space, independent
of whether or not they can be seen or
touched
language development
• The human use of spoken or written words
as a communication system
Nonverbal
• Using gestures and moving instead of
words to communicate
word association
• Method of assessing somebody's mental
state or personality by asking the person
to respond with the first word that comes
to mind when a given word is heard
first word
• Same sound used more than once to refer
to person, place, or event

Objective 4.03
TEST REVIEW
• 70 questions: (1.4 points each=you can miss 5 questions and make a 93=A)
– Chapter 9 handout
– Key Terms
– Give one example from each step of The
Sensorimotor Stage
– Label and define parts of the BRAIN
Independent Practice
• Read the following reference from the textbook,
The Developing Child, page 286.
– “How to Stimulate Brain Development in an Infant.”
• Use the index card provided:
– List at least 3 ways infants’ senses can be stimulated.
– List important facts about stimulating infants’ senses.
• Think-pair-share
– Find the person with the matching card and share
responses with that person
– You will then combine both responses into one
statement to share with the class.
Group Project
• Read in the textbook, The Developing Child,
Chapter 9, page 291-295, Piaget’s Theories:
“The Sensorimotor Period.”
• You will be paired up with another student.
• Develop 3 activities from the reading that are
appropriate for an infant.
• You will share your activity with the class.
• Complete the handout
– “Appropriate Activities for Infants”
• Record activities as they are presented.
• Discuss as students present activities.
• Keep the notes sheet for future use.
Book Project
• TEAMS will be given a children’s book to
read and answer the following questions
on index card.
– How might reading this book over and over
lead to the development of infant language
skills?
– How do the pictures in the book help develop
language skills?
• Write-Pair-Share
– Share your responses to the class.
