The newborn average birth weight
What is the significance of 7.5 lbs? --by the time infants are 2 years old they triple their birth weight
100
This organ of the body is 25% the size of a adult for a newborn and 75% the size at the age of 2 years old compared to a adult.
What is the brain and its relative size compared to a adult brain? -At birth all neurons are present in the brain.
100
This organ goes through intensive growth in the first 2 years.
What is the brain go through? -Synapses and dendrites still have to develop after birth.
200
This is the area of the brain in charge of perception, body movement, thinking and learning
What is the cortex and its responsibilities? -Since the cortex isn’t developed at birth, infants born with instinctive and automatic responses, which are termed adaptive reflexes.
200
Babies grows 25-30 inches during the first 2 years.
How much does a baby grow in the first 2 years?
200
The four basic taste groups
What is the significance of sour, sweet, bitter and salty tastes? -Infants can distinguish all four taste groups and each one develops at a different time.
300
It is the process of insulating nerve fibers from one another electrically
What is Myelinization? -Occurs in the first 2 years -Improves the conductivity of nerve fibers
300
These increase in number and density during infancy
What happens to bones during infancy? -Other developments that occur during infancy: -Muscle fibers become larger and contain less water -Stamina improves with increase in lung size -Heart grows and heart gets stronger
300
It is the time teeth start to develop.
What happens during the first 3-6 months? -different sounds are formed using the tongue, teeth, lips and palate (ex ma-ma) -6-12 months a baby can start understand what you are saying and continues to babble
400
At the age of nine to twelve months a infant can do this motor skill.
What approximate age can a infant pull himself up and stand? -Other motor skills: -creeping and/or crawling -eight to twelve months -walking-around 12 months
400
The reflex when a baby appears to be walking by holding itself up
What is the walking reflex? -Other reflexes include : -Moro reflex-“startling” reflex triggered by loud noise or movement -Babinski reflex- occurs when foot is stroked and the toes spread and curl, while the foot moves inward. -Palmar reflex- occurs when a infant grasps an object under her hand
400
The range in which a infant is able to sit upright without support
What is the significance of four to six months to motor skills to a infant? -Other motor skills: -controlling the head and neck - first few weeks after birth -rolling from back to front to back - four to five months
500
This a adaptive function starting from birth and is related to control of your body.
What are reflexes starting from birth. These are automatic responses triggered by a stimuli and they gradually voluntary control is achieved over them by infants -Reflexes help perform motor functions at birth
500
This development process includes wiring and rewiring of the connections (synapses) between neurons?
What is "Pruning" of synapses? -Old synapses are removed
500
It is the distance a newborn baby can see
What is the significance of 8-15 inches to a newborn baby? -Depth perception develops in the first 8 months. -Visual acuity and tracking skills are very poor at birth -Prefer objects that are black, white and red -Prefer to look at faces rather than objects
