- Cognitive Development
- Prenatal: Between conception and birth (266 days/38 weeks)
- 1. Zygotic Stag (0-2weeks) 100 cells across 2 layers: skin, hair, NS, organs & digest, respir systems
- 2. Embryotic Stage (2-8weeks) heart beat, brain function, body shape
- Androgens (Bring about sexxing of baby)
- 3. Foetal Stage (8weeks-birth)
- Foetal Learning: automatic, involuntary motor or sensory responses
- Most susceptible to teratogens
- Teratogens: birth defects
- 2. Embryotic Stage (2-8weeks) heart beat, brain function, body shape
- Infancy Stage (0-2 years)
- Swift neural damage recovery due to elasticity of brain
- Grey matter: blood vessels & neutrons
- White matter: nerve fibres
- Myelination: nerve fibres are coated in myelin, assisting nerve impulses to fibres
- Essential for basic motor behaviour- the PONS & CEREBELLUM
- Frontal and Parietal lobe develops 12-16years
- Occipital lobe: up to 20years old
- Mature the earliest: entorhinal cortex & piriform cortex
- Myelination: nerve fibres are coated in myelin, assisting nerve impulses to fibres
- Peaks just before adolescence
- White matter: nerve fibres
- Grey matter: blood vessels & neutrons
- Myelination: nerve fibres are coated in myelin, assisting nerve impulses to fibres
- Essential for basic motor behaviour- the PONS & CEREBELLUM
- Rozenweig: rats raised in enriched encironmetnshad thicker cerebral cortex, better bloody supply, more protein content and more acetylcholine
- Acetylcholin: trasmission substance that is imperative for learning.
- Skeels - Children who stayed in orphanage had less brain maturation than those who went into insititutions
- Fujioka et al - Children who play instruments have better activation when hearing instruments - musical training can influence the brains ability to produce electrical potential in reaction to sounds
- Case's M Space Model - children increase cognition using mental strategies
- 1.Maturation of the child = maturation of the brain = greater capacity to learn (increasing myelination and neural connections)
- Fischers Skill Model - optimal level of skill (parallel with Piaget) due to brain maturation. As the capacity to process info increases, so does the level of skill. EG: Observation
- 2. Practice of schemata elevates strain on cognition eg: riding a bike and taking in external info once no longer focussing on balance.
- 3.Children integrate schemata - making central conceptual structures.

- Motor Development
- Perceptual Development(senses)
- Face Perception
- Space Perception

- Memory
- >4 Years- LTM is not formed
- 6 months old can distinguish between novel and familiar stimulus after 2 weeks
- 3 months old can distinguish between novel and familiar stimulus after 2 days
- Prenatal: Between conception and birth (266 days/38 weeks)
