The age when children pull to stand.
What is 8 months? (pg. 106)
100
Another word for "head to tail". The head develops more rapidly than the lower part of the body.

100
A measure of bone development.
What is skeletal age? (pg. 92)
100
The ability to judge the distance of objects from one another and from ourselves.
What is depth perception? (pg. 111)
100
Specialized cells in motor areas of the cerebral cortex in primates that underlie capacities.
What is mirror neurons? (pg. 105)
200
Age when children roll from side to back.
What is 2 months? (pg. 106)
200
Growth proceeds from near to far, from the center of the body outward.
What is proximodistal trend? (pg. 93)
200
This means that areas of the brain are not yet committed to specific functions.
What is brain plasticity? (pg. 96)
200
We make sense of running streams of light, sound, tactile, odor, and taste information, perceiving them as integrated wholes.
What is intermodal perception? (pg. 113)
200
In this, infants act on the environment and stimuli the follow their behavior, change the probability that the behavior will not happen again.
What is operant conditioning? (pg. 104)
300
The age childdren crawl
What is 7 months? (pg. 106)
300
Electrodes embedded in a head cap record electrical brain-wave activity in the brain's outer layer.
What is EEG, electroencephalogram? (pg. 95)
300
Tiny gaps between the neurons.
What is synapses? (pg. 94)
300
Infants like to look at patterned rather than plain stimuli.
What is True? (pg. 112)
300
in this form of learning, a neutral stimulus is paired with a stimulus that leads to a reflexive response.
What is classical conditioning? (pg. 103)
400
the age when children scribble vigorously.
What is 14 months? (pg. 106)
400
The specialization of functions in the two hemispheres of the cerebral cortex.
What is lateralization? (pg. 96)
400
Front part of the brain controlling body movement, responsible for thought.
What is prefrontal cortex? (pg. 96)
400
Infants actively search for invariant features of the environment-those that remain stable- in a constantly changing perceptual world.
What is differentiation theory? (pg. 114)
400
This refers to a gradual reduction in the strength of a response due to repetitive stimulation.
What is habituation? (pg. 104)
500
The age when babies holds their head erect when held upright.
What is 6 weeks? (pg. 106)
500
This is caused by an unbalanced diet very low in protein. This disease usually strikes after weaning, between 1 and 3 years of age.
What is Kwashiorkor? (pg. 102)
500
Surrounds part of the brain and resembles half of a shelled walnut.
What is cerebral cortex? (pg. 95)
500
Perceptual sensitivity that becomes increasingly attuned with age to information most often encountered.
What is perceptual narrowing effect? (pg. 110)
500
babies copy the behavior of another person.
What is imitation? (pg. 104)
