The Novelty Paradigm

339 Words2 Pages

There are many elements that influence the way that a child develops in a cognitive sense. The Novelty Paradigm which includes things such as habituation, sucking, and looking preference are all ways to measure the advance of cognition in infants. Critically assessing the Novelty Paradigm of Habituation can help to give a better insight on the cognitive development of children. Specifically, a novelty paradigm is based off of methods is the theory that infants have a preference to novel rather than familiar stimuli (Siegler, 2014). Habitation, a type of novelty paradigm, is the study that infants will stare at newer objects for longer periods of time opposed to something that they have already seen before (Turk-Browne, 2008). Studies on habituation

    Children were mainly recruited through visits to day care centers, kindergartens and schools in the Rhein-Ruhr area in Germany and adults recruited from Ruhr-Universität Bochum. Six data sets were conducted and collected through independent tablet-based cognitive experiments between the participants. Each participant was given a tablet with a browser or a tablet with a combination of HTML and JavaScript and the data set was acquired through a variety of perception, learning, and memory tasks, including sorting tasks, 2-alternative forced choice (2AFC) memory tasks, 2AFC-perception tasks, a visual search task, an extinction learning paradigm and a task for assessing spatio-temporal accuracy. Furthermore, each study included adults but the ages of the children were dependent on the level of difficult of each

    This is the same when children are getting ready for primary school; children like to bring something that reminds them of home or pre-school when they start primary school. Having that transitional object with them allows them to settle into the setting easier than not having anything. Allowing children to have transitional objects enables them to have constant reassurance of home and having the caregiver return. This is relating to Winnicott’s theory of transitional objects (1964). (B3)

    Furthermore, it is important to note that when a child is born their visual and auditory areas of the brain are not full developed. For example, as the visual cortex and subcortical visual structures mature, children’s scanning patterns changes, thus allowing children to pay more attention to outlines of objects, faces, and eyes. The question is, how much of these attentional differences is accounted by cortical and auditory maturation and how much of this is accounted by interactions with the environment? I believe it is a combination of both, however when it comes to perception there is a large body of evidence to suggest a particular innateness towards perception. We are born with the biological building blocks to perceive and attend to the outside world.

  • Summary Of Alison Gopnik's Ted Talk

    283 Words  | 2 Pages

    In this week’s Ted Talk, Alison Gopnik focused on the thought process of babies. In the past, people believed that babies could not perceive another individual’s thoughts, however with the passage of time these believes have changed. To help us understand what babies could be thinking and if they acknowledge other people’s thoughts, Gopnik explained how she and one of her students tested this idea by using broccoli and crackers. The student gave 15 and 18 month-old babies two bowls, one with broccoli and the other one with crackers, and the babies showed more preference for the one with the crackers. The student, on the other hand, tasted the food from both bowls in front of the babies and acted as if she loved the broccoli and dislike the

In addition, infants contribute to their own cognitive development through their observation of cause and effect. One of the major ways in which infants develop knowledge on cause and effect is through the observation of the physical world around them (Baillargeon,

    Introduction Learning enables you as an individual, to gain more knowledge about something which you have never learned about. Learning also has to do with past experiences which are influenced by behavioural changes (Weiten, 2016). There are different types of ways to learn; through, classical conditioning, operant conditioning and observational learning which will be discussed and analysed in the essay.   Behaviourism Behaviourism is considered one of the main subjects in psychology and the two main people who founded behaviourism were, Burrhus Frederic Skinner, also known as B.F Skinner and Ivan Pavlov who were famous for the work they did on classical and operant conditioning (Moderato & Presti, 2006).

  • Compare And Contrast Bowlby And Ainsworth's Attachment Theory

    443 Words  | 2 Pages

    Babies are born with an innate ability to learn and their brain to develop after birth. The neural pathways of a human’s brain are built based on their early experience in the world. A baby’s world is based on how they are treated by people in it therefore if the environment is scary then the baby will be reluctant to explore, as demonstrated n Bowlby’s and Ainsworth’s attachment theory. The brain and body become wired enough to understand what is safe and what should be feared. The birth to 3 years of a child’s life is a critical period for the brain during child development and any deprivation during this will result in persistent deficits in cognitive, emotional and even physical health.

    Cognitive abilities enable children to process the sensory information that they collect from the environment. According to Wood, Smith and Grossniklaus (2012), Piaget defined cognitive development as the progressive reorganization of the mental processes that results in biological experience and maturation. As numerous researchers have explained, children normally undergo many changes from birth to adolescents, most of them being growth related. According to Cook (2005), the changes in thinking is what researchers call cognitive development. In toddlers, cognitive development is observed through the early use of tools and objects, the child’s behavior when objects are moved in front of them and their understanding when objects and when people are in their environment.
