Explain Mary Ainsworth's Strange Situation
1. Name and define the first two of Erikson’s developmental conflicts
Trust vs. Mistrust from birth to 12 months they learn to trust and have a loving relationship with the caregiver based upon physical and emotional needs are met. Or else they develop the sense of mistrust with lead them to believe that the world is cruel and bad.
Autonomy vs. shame this stage the child learns to do activities independently but can also lead to shame if they lose approval.
2. Explain Mary Ainsworth’s Strange Situation experiment, and its significance in the development of attachment.
Mary Ainsworth’s strange situation experiment is to assess the quality of the infant attachment with the caregiver. The experiment was having a mother leaving the 12-18 …show more content…
Describe habituation in an infant and give an example
Habituation is when the infant decrease in responding to the stimuli after being repeatedly exposed therefore the infant learns to ignore the stimuli.
Example: a newborn response to a loud tone is faster heartbeat and breathing but if the sound continues the infant learns to ignore and stop responding to the loud tone. 9. Piaget referred to the first 2 years of development as the sensorimotor period
10. You notice your 6 month old cousin pick up and play with two action figures left out by her older brother. This is an example of fine motor skill. 14. Give an example of Social Referencing
A child drop the candy on the floor the child picked it up and looked at her mother and if the mother shakes her head with a expression showing that it’s yucky the baby might not put the candy back in her mouth. 16. Give an example of an Infant/Toddler developmental event in each of the corresponding circles. If you can, try to make the examples interlock with each other, illustrating the relationships between the 3 domains.
Physical: fine/gross motor skills, walking, crawling
Cognitive: language skills, eye contact, object permanence
Psychosocial: attachment with caregivers, stranger
