Second‚ I will give a summary of the study on affordances and how this perception-action connection applies to development. Finally‚ I will be providing some of my own insight‚ thoughts‚ and arguments on the studies and material provided in the following. After reading this paper‚ one should have a general understanding of what it takes for a being to be able to reach

According to Jon Piaget ’s theory of cognitive development‚ there are four stages of cognitive development. These stages are all assigned to a specific age where Piaget‚ after observing and interviewing both his own children and other children as well‚he concluded these stages were to begin and end. These four stages begin with the sensorimotor stage that begins at birth until about age two. During this stage an infant observes his or her environment through his or her mouth‚ primarily by sucking

Accordingly‚ dissimilarity within populations has origins in adverse early experiences‚ meaning that developmental neuroscience has shown how early biological and psychosocial experiences can disturb brain development (Walker‚ Wachs‚ Grantham-McGregor‚ Black‚ Nelson‚ Huffman‚ Baker-Henningham‚ Chang‚ Hamadani‚ Lozoff

disabilities. Fraternal twins have a 60 percent chance of not sharing the disability. During early development‚ the brain is very sensitive to trauma and toxins. Neurotoxins affect the brain’s development of neural cells. Nutrition in early stages of life is crucial for proper brain development. For example‚ if you have and lack of iron in early life it is shown that it leads to a decrease in brain development. Malnutrition is also very crucial. It can decrease nerve and brain cells leading to lower IQ
