1. Watch Dr. Alison Gopnik's Ted Talk "What do babies think?". It is 18 minutes long. What surprised you about this Ted Talk? I was very surprised that babies and children tend to be more conscious than us grownups. I mean when you’re an adult they tend to be more conscious but I guess that curve ball is that we have a much broader of a surrounding and then other thing tend to disappear on what it doesn’t to us as adults than when we were adults. What do you think of Alison Gopnik’s message? I will some way agree and some may disagree but I am very open to anything so I good what she mentioned. How are babies like scientists? These babies tend to already a lot of the thinking and learning that when you think that is very knowledgeable What was the difference between the 15-month-olds and the 18-month-olds in the broccoli experiment?

She explains that Childhood is separate from evolutionary stage than what it really is to be a human. How are babies research and development? And, how are we production and marketing? From my perspective I will say that they see that adults have bigger brains relative to the body by far than any other such as animals. Also, that they are smarter, flexible, can learn more, survive in varies environments, and our babies/children can be dependent on us much longer than other species such as animals In what ways are 4-year-olds better at statistics than adults? I will say that children are adjusted to their hypotheses when they see data How are babies more conscious than adults? Gopnik argues that babies aren’t just only conscious, but they are more conscious than adults. She backs ups her argument with point of views beginning with a general idea that adults may have more conscious experience but tend to disregard in some areas. She uses a scenario such as the kitchen like we as adults aren’t aware in our surroundings and go beyond our ways in our

It is only human to be biased. However, the problem begins when we allow our bigotry to manifest into an obstacle that hinders us from genuinely getting to know people. Long time diversity advocate, Verna Myers, in her 2014 Ted Talk, “How to overcome our biases? Walk boldly toward them” discusses the implicit biases we may obtain when it comes to race, specifically black men and women. Myers purpose is quite like the cliché phrase “Face your fears.” Her goal is to impress upon us that we all have biases (conscious or unconscious). We just have to be aware of them and face them head on, so that problems such as racism, can be resolved. Throughout the Ted Talk, Verna Myers utilizes an admonishing yet entertaining tone in order to grasp our attention
Their intellectual development increases as they start to communicate and socialise with others. The baby will talk in a language to express themselves and how they are feeling gaining knowledge.
As every child grows up in a different environment, not all have a safe one to grow up in and as a result everything that surrounds them becomes apart of the clarity that their mind incorporates and becomes apart of that child 's behavior of way. In terms of brain development children or teens often listen, and see what is around them, it is also said, by researchers of the National Institute of Health, that in recent studies that were made that in teen years massive loss of brain tissue...
The first stage is called sensorimotor which defines behaviors associated with infants up to two years of age. During the sensorimotor stage, children are seeking everything in which they can obtain a new taste, sound, feeling, and sight. Generally, children do not have understanding of these new experiences; it is more of exposure. The second stage is called preoperational which includes children from ages two through seven. “Children at this stage understand object permanence, but they still don’t get the concept of conservation. They don’t understand that changing a substance’s appearance doesn’t change its properties or quantity” (Psychology Notes HQ, 2015, Section Preoperational Stage). Piaget conducted an experiment with water, two identical glasses and a cylinder. Piaget poured the same amount of water in the two glasses; the children responded that there was indeed the same amount of water in the two glasses. He then took the two glasses of water and poured them into the cylinder. When asked if the tall beaker contained the same amount of water, the children responded that the beaker had more water than the glass. However, by the age of seven years of age, children can understand more complex and abstract concepts. At this point, the child is operating in the concrete operational stage. Children also can learn different rules; sometimes, they lack the understanding associated with those rules. When a child

In acquiring this new-found knowledge Piaget stated that when the child is given a more complex problem they can use logical and cognitive processes to answer instead of just their imagination and/or visual prospects (Feldman, 2006, pp. 286-287). Although some kids may not fully just jump into the concrete operation stage Piaget says it is completely normal that kids shift back and forth between preoperational and concrete operational thinking during the two years before they completely reach the stage. When the process is complete you should notice how your child becomes more sophisticated in handling their information. Their concepts of speed and time also highly increase. During the middle childhood stage, short term memory improves significantly. For example, a child will be able to repeat a set of numbers back to you with more ease and less concentration then they could before (Feldman, 2006, p. 289). Vocabulary of children also begin to rapidly increase during the school years. They can take in what the teacher says and store it in their brains so more knowledge is obtained. This is the stage in which your child usually learns to read and
At this point in life, infants can only experience the world through sensory and motor experiences and their knowledge is solely gained through sensations or actions that they experience. When an infant is born, Piaget believes that they lack the capacity for mental representation and thus must experience everything in the present as it is presented in front of them. (Galotti, 2014) With this being said, this means that infants are constituted as being completely different that older adults and teens in the fact that they do not have conscious recollections of their past experiences and have no ideas of the

“If you think about the brain and the brain development if we don’t stimulate the brain then of course there is going to be lack of development.” (“Unruh”). Development is sempiternal in life, it moves through many stages into life such as learning to grasp a fork properly to grasping the thought of death. General development stages begin at birth and last till about age of 18, but the most important development stages start from birth and last till about six years of age. These early stages will affect how one will behave, interpret, and learn throughout the duration of one’s life. While bodily changes are rapidly occurring and the beginning of thought, opinion, and reason are just forming. It is important to understand as future parents or caregivers how and when their child, even if premature, is developing socially, cognitively, or physically.
Learning in this manner has not yet been proven to affect the brain or nervous system but the thought of making someone think differently, as the Controllers did in BNW with many babies, can be frightening. The D.H.C said hypnopedia was a great way to embed thoughts into their memories. Making the babies hear the voice repeat words about why they should love their life and accept it, created the perfect world the people lived in. (BNW Ch.2) The Director also explained that hypnopedia could not be used to teach something they have never been exposed to because it would never be rational. (BNW
The second stage was titled the preoperational stage. From the age of 2 through the age of 7, the mind of the child increases substantially toward developing the mental construction of familiar and regular objects which the child interacts with frequently. The concepts of such objects are only at surface level, meaning how the child has yet to comprehend the complexity of these objects. Furthermore, the child may automatically assume how their environment (namely, those around the child) shares their likes and dislikes. (DeWolfe,
During the birth to two years stage children are learning about the world through their sensations and through their movements. One of the most influential theorist’s Jean Piaget developed four important stages of cognitive development. In the first stage, known as the sensorimotor stage, direct sensory experiences are occurring. Motor actions are occurring as well, which are important for the learning of children as they get older. Since infants at this age are learning through their movements they are using basic actions such as grasping onto objects with their hands, sucking, listening and observing the world around them. With these movements, they are beginning to understand that their actions cause things to happen around them. When this
“Consciousness is defined as everything of which we are aware at any given time - our thoughts, feelings, sensations, and perceptions of the external environment. Physiological researchers have returned to the study of consciousness, in examining physiological rhythms, sleep, and altered states of consciousness (changes in awareness produced by sleep, meditation, hypnosis, and drugs)” (Wood, 2011, 169). There are five levels of consciousness; Conscious (sensing, perceiving, and choosing), Preconscious (memories that we can access), Unconscious ( memories that we can not access), Non-conscious ( bodily functions without sensation), and Subconscious ( “inner child,” self image formed in early childhood).
Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget’s theory of cognitive development describes his belief that children try to actively make sense of the world rather than simply absorbing knowledge as previously thought. Piaget’s theory claims that as children grow and develop they experience four different cognitive stages of life. As a child grows through each stage they not only learn new information but the way he or she thinks also changes. “In other words, each new stage represents a fundamental shift in how the child thinks and understands the world” (Hockenbury, page 368).The first stage of Piaget’s theory, known as the sensorimotor stage, begins at birth and continues on until about age 2. As the name suggest, this stage is when children begin to discover
