purpose of this paper is to use the habituation technique in young infants to evaluate one hypothesis derived from Piaget’s theory of cognitive development. I will compare 5-months olds in a task that involves possible and impossible outcomes. Piaget’s theory specifies the cognitive competencies of children of this age.1a. Piaget stated that the sensorimotor stage happens from birth to about age two. Infants find the world with their fives senses and their actions. 1b. Object permanence is the understanding

Pre-natal development is the most significant segment of human development. 15 days after conception the embryonic stage begins and continues until about the 8th week‚ or until the embryo is around an inch in length. The cells of the embryo are multiplying and taking

The process of prenatal development occurs in three main stages. The first two weeks after conception are known as the germinal stage; the third through the eighth week are known as the embryonic period; and the time from the ninth week until birth is known as the fetal period. The germinal stage begins with conception‚ when the sperm and egg cell unite in one of the two fallopian tubes. The fertilized egg‚ known as zygote then moves toward the uterus‚ a journey that can take up to a week to complete

In the first stage‚ called the Emergent Stage‚ children are able to convey his/her message by scribbling‚ drawing shapes‚ writing mock letters‚ and/or random strings of letters/numbers. In some cases‚ one letter represents an entire word or the most salient sound of a word. Some Emergent children confuse letters‚ numbers‚ and letter-like forms and substitute letters and sounds that feel and look alike (e.g.‚ the sounds /v/ and /f/‚ the letters d and b) The child generally lacks knowledge of the
