We must start with the question are babies prewired for survival. It is amazing how fast human offspring learn about the environment around them. In many ways human babies are very helpless. Across the animal kingdom it seems that newborn human babies are among the most helpless creatures on earth. Even though human babies come in to this world with the need of parental assistance longer then other species. They are prewired to be more adaptable then all other animals
Starting from birth you can see some of the prewired reflex’s that prove a human baby has a high probability to survive. Human babies come prewired into this world with a suckling reflex. If you are to ask a mother she will verify this fact. If anything lightly touches a babies face they have a prewired natural response to shift their heads and start suckling.. . It's a reflex that is necessary to their survival, so there isn't a big surprise that babies are born with this instinct. (Luo, 2010). It is believed that babies have the ability to do basic math. Researcher at Yale test this theory. The researcher managed to figure this out, by testing babies using the "looking method", which shows when a baby between 1 and 6 months is interested in something. Then she uses objects to pose simple math problems to babies. Most of the time, when the equation is right, the babies are bored and don't really give the whole thing more than a glance. Though when the equation is wrong, nearly all the babies stared and stared at it. (Kord,2009). What we do know is babies know they have 2 parents, mom has two breast babies have an amazing ability to keep track of small numbers. Babies also are born with the ability to grasp objects. One of the first signs young mothers has reported seeing are when they place their finger in a baby’s hand they baby automatically grabs hold tightly. Researchers believe this is linked to babies having to grab
