Self-Locomotion

Crawling is the first step infants learn in self-locomation development. (True/False)
It occurs at around months (use numbers and signs such as '-' ).
After crawling, infants learn to walk using a toddling gait at around months.
Finally, nearly all infants are able to take steps independently by the age of months.

Dynamic Systems

Infant motor development was previously assigned to increased neurological maturity. Today most research take a Dynamic Systems approach.

Do you know what a Dynamic Systems approach is and what attractors are?
Make sure you know both what these are and what D.S. Theory suggests is the driving force behind development. [3 points]

Which of the following statements is / are true about the role of Dynamic Systems theory within (developmental) Psychology research?

Selecione uma ou mais das seguintes:

  • Dynamic Systems theory aims to explain how behaviour changes lawfully over time

  • Dynamic Systems theory emphasizes the 'when' is more important than the 'how' in development

  • Dynamic Systems theory states that assessment of development can only be done over time at different intervals

  • Dynamic Systems theory highlights the role of the researcher as an element in the dynamic system she is researching

Reaching out

Which of the following statements are true about infant's development of reaching?

Selecione uma ou mais das seguintes:

  • Depth perception needs to have nearly fully developed for an infant to perform a fully succesful reach

  • An infant's motivation is important to their reaching approach

  • After infants acquire the ability to sit straight, their reaches become quite stable

  • With experience, the reaches of infants start to show signs of anticipation

  • Soft assembly suggests reaching develops thoughout a mostly universal pattern of smaller steps

  • Infants can do perform succesful reaches before they are able to sit up straight

Explicação

Questão 18 de 23

1

Soft Assembly

What is true of soft-assembly?

Selecione uma das seguintes:

  • It means that the development of motor abilities usually takes a slow process consisting of smaller movements that occur in a universal order

  • It means motor development is not a fixed sequence, but that it requires variation and that the order in which abilities 'come online' in infants differ

  • It means that the individual, smaller movements needed to perform a more complex movement are genetically encoded, but vary in order of occurance

  • It means individual components of a complex movement 'come online' in a pretty much universal order, but that the stimuli needed for a child to learn them vary

Depth Perception and the Visual Cliff

How do you assess whether an infant develops depth perception before or after learning to crawl? Try to asnwer this for yourself first.

Then, answer the following: In the 1960s Gibson and Walk performed the Visual cliff experiment to assess toddler's ability to perceive depths. What did the results show?

Selecione uma das seguintes:

  • Toddlers up until 1,5 years old have very little sense of depths regardless of crawling, and most of them would cross the cliff whatsoever

  • First, toddlers develop peripheral vision and then, after having learned how to crawl, their ability to perceive depth increases and they would no longer cross the cliff

  • Only infants who first learned how to crawl had developed both peripheral vision and depth perception and would be hesitant to cross the cliff (but the emotional imput of their caregivers might still persuade them)

  • Infants had an intuitive reluctance to cross the cliff, even before their depth perception had fully developed and they knew how to crawl

  • Only infants who first learned how to crawl had developed both peripheral vision and depth perception and none of them would cross the cliff anymore

Slopes

What did Karen Adolph and colleagues find?

Selecione uma das seguintes:

  • Most toddlers who were cautious of slopes as crawlers would fall down all slopes when they started to walk

  • Toddlers who had learned to be cautious of slopes as crawlers were able to adapt this knowledge into walking quite fast

  • Up until about 1,5 years old all toddlers tended to have a poor sense of slopes and would fall down most of the slopes regardless of crawling or walking

  • Toddlers who first started to walk would need to hold onto a fence in order to transfer the information from their hands into their actions, as they had done when they were crawling

Explicação

Questão 22 de 23

1

Which of the following is / are true?

Selecione uma ou mais das seguintes:

  • Knowledge about slopes is behaviour-specific

  • New perceptual behaviours only emerge after an action becomes stable

  • Crawlers can not match their perceptual abilities to their action abilities

  • Since toddlers are in the beginning most dependent on their hands, the senses in their hands develop a lot faster than those in their feet

  • Toddlers already show an ability to generalize nowledge gained when learning one specific skill into learning a novel skill

  • Toddler's just like to go nuts

  • It is known that toddlers can detect steepness, but their vision needs to have fully developed before they can transfer it into action
