Aaa is maintaining a stationary position on the balance beam, standing still on both feet to find the balance of her body and the centre of gravity, then slowly moves forward to the other end of the beam, alternating feet while maintaining momentum (EYLF 3.2, gross motor movement and balance). Bbb is playing in the kitchen corner, which shows her understanding of adults ' roles and interpreting by acting out the actions with kitchen toys and props (EYLF 1.3, showing their points of view in dramatic play). Ccc was pouring sand in the sand and water wheel and discovered cause and effect from seeing the wheel spun sand ran down the tube and hit the wheel (EYLF 4.2, experimenting with cause and effect).
The order of primates include a wide and varied array of species, from lemurs to macaques to humans. Grouped by distinctive characterestics, they are also distinguished by clear dissimilarities. Both these aspects may be seen with comparison to chimpanzees and bonobos and to an even more marked degree in regards to nonhuman primates and humans. Each species possess its own specific traits ranging from physical to behavioral to mental that set it apart from its biological kindred while still being firmly linked together. Chimpanzees and bonobos are physically quite similar to one another, with the chimps displaying greater sexual dimorphism, the physical variances between males and females.
Kimberly Monroe SPCM 200 February 16 2015 Informative speech outline I. [Attention getter]: According to All World Primates, a database with the research from 300 scientists observations on primate behavior, there are about 612 species and subspecies in the world. 30% of these are endangered, including the Orangutans.

Andrieu, B. Brains in the Flesh: Prospects for a Neurophenomenology. Retrieved from http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.583.2401&rep=rep1&type=pdf The article talks about Neuroscience and the relations between phenomenology and the neurosciences which is focused on the question of the “cognitive body.” The source will help in explaining how light when in interaction with the visual neurons is what makes humans see. That would be helpful in the Neuroscience side of the research and how this could influence the way Architecture is designed.
1. Introduction: Ben Hogan was possibly one of the best players that the game of golf has ever seen. He faced many obstacles throughout his career including world war two and a horrible motor vehicle accident, but even this could not stop him from returning to the amazing, mentally tough game of golf. However, his downfall came when he experienced the “yips” while putting. The yips is a type of dystonia. According to Joseph Jankovic (2009: v) dystonia is a neurologic disorder characterized by involuntary, sustained, patterned, and often repetitive muscle contractions of opposing muscles that cause twisting movements, abnormal postures, or both.
The Earth's climate went through several major changes throughout the Tertiary period that led to the flourishing of primate species and the extinction of other primate species. The plesiadaptiforms, which are not considered real primates because of the lack of key primate features, went extinct at the end of the Paleocene epoch. At the beginning of the Eocene epoch came the euprimates, considered the first real primates, whose features made them well-adapted to arboreal life. Euprimates had convergent eye orbits, opposable digits, nails, and larger brains than plesiadaptiforms. This coincides with a period of global warming which made for a more tropical and forested habitat.
Primate evolution is very much driven by the changes in climate that happened throughout the time of their adaptations. Climate changes derived from one main source; the movement of tectonic plates. These tectonic plates that are constantly moving away from each other. In addition, the drifts in tectonic plates influence changes in climate because they moved large land masses away from each other to a different location which contained different climate statuses due to leaving them closer or further from the equator a huge decider of climate characteristics. Moreover with climate change, evolutionary adaptations came into play, with various species as well to one of the main features of primates which is their strategies and anatomical features
Studying captive primates can help us learn not only how they behave, but also how they are similar or different to each other and humans as well as give us insight into the effects of captivity. This paper will be describing, comparing, and contrasting the behavior of two species of captive primates at the Alexandria Zoo, golden lion tamarins and howler monkeys, as well as discussing the possible effects captivity could have had on them. This paper will also discuss any human-like behaviors observed in the two primate species and what we as humans could learn about our own behavior by studying primates. The two primates I observed were 1 of 3 golden lion tamarins (Leontopithecus rosalia) all of unknown gender and a solitary female howler
Female primates tend to give birth to fewer offspring as well as spending more time raising said offspring as these offspring have a much longer period of development. The cause for this longer period of development is due to the large sizes of the brains of primates. The first primate residence pattern is polygynous, which is where one male mates with multiple females. Then there’s polyandrous where one female mates with multiple males.
Over the next 1.9 million years, primate gaits became more diverse and gave rise to numerous anatomical variations that have led us to our current anatomical form. Today, there exists general agreement among biologists
Innate Language and Non-Human Primates Language is a form of communication and can be portrayed in many different ways not just vocalization, this is shown by those that use sign language rather than vocalization; these humans still have complex language but they lack the necessary organs or capabilities to produce all of the sounds needed for vocal language; similarly, some non-human primates use different interactions as language not just production and combinations of sounds. Non-human primates do not have the ability to vocalize the way humans do because they lack vocal cords, control of the necessary vocalization, and other speech organs, but that does not mean that they cannot effectively communicate through language with other non-human
The theory of mind is the ability to use one’s brain to have the capacity to assign mental states to others in order to grasp their perceptions and ideas. It is the action and cognitive ability that are largely based on brain size and cognition. Research has suggested (with bias) that the theory of mind can only be found in humans because humans have relatively large brain sizes and have complex cognitive abilities. Other research has also suggested that the theory of mind only relates to social emotional intelligence, which can be found in humans but also in other primates. Humans are not the only primates that have a theory of mind; other non-human primates are able to use their cognitive abilities and social skills to fulfill tasks and survive.
Agility is a rather nebulous concept. It is my hope that this comparative examination will yield an effective means of quantifying relative levels of agility among primates. Understanding how primates move requires a functional understanding of mammalian anatomy—a passion of mine for the past three years. The opportunity to assistant-teach three undergraduate anatomy courses has been among the most fulfilling parts of my education.
Some research shows that many animals including birds, frogs, monkeys, and dogs all have similar organized brains. A dog’s brain organization doesn’t just have to do with paw preference, it can also affect a dog’s tail wagging. Movements of a dog are biased to the right or left depending upon
The Nervous System is the control center and one of the most important systems in the human body. The Nervous System is comprised of two parts: The Central and the Peripheral Nervous Systems, which divide into smaller sections. (“Nervous System, sciencedaily.com”) Each part of the Nervous System has jobs that keep humans alive and well.
