Stages of Child Development Festschrift

Previous work has demonstrated that infants use object trajectory continuity as a cue to the constant identity of an object, but results are equivocal regarding the role of object features, with some work suggesting that a change in the appearance of an object does not cue a change in identity.  In an experiment involving 72 participants we investigated the effects of changing object shape and color, singly and in combination, on 4-month-olds’ perception of object continuity. A change in the shape of an object while it passed behind an occluder had no effect on perception of continuity, whereas a change in shape and color led to perception of discontinuity, and a change in color led to no clear percept regarding continuity or discontinuity.  These results are discussed in terms of a perceptual learning model of development of object identity. (Bremner, J. G., Slater, A. M., Mason, U. C., Spring, J., & Johnson, S. P.  (in press).  Trajectory perception and object continuity:  Effects of shape and color change on 4-month-olds’ perception of trajectory identity.  Developmental)

We investigated oculomotor anticipations in 4-month-old infants as they viewed center-occluded object trajectories. In two experiments, we examined performance in 2D and 3D dynamic occlusion displays, and in an additional 3D condition with a smiley face as the moving target stimulus. Rates of anticipatory eye movements were not facilitated by 3D displays or by the (presumably) more salient smiley face relative to the 2D condition. However, latencies of anticipations were reduced, implying that 3D visual information may have supported formation of more robust mental representations of the moving object. Results are interpreted in a context of perceptual constraints on developing cognitive capacities in early infancy. (Johnson, S. P., Bremner, J. G., Slater, A. M., Shuwairi, S. M., Mason, U., Spring, J., & Usherwood, B. (2012). Young infants' perception of the trajectories of two- and three-dimensional objects. Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 113, 117-185.)

Learning Musical

Can listening to music benefit my child?

Definitely. Think about how music affects you — how an upbeat tune fends off the blues and soft music helps you fall asleep. Your baby is no different. Lullabies have a proven track record for soothing infants — ask any parent who has resorted to singing them when the baby wakes up at 2 o'clock in the morning. "I remember rocking my son to sleep to the tune of 'Snuggle Up,' " says Rich Ham-Kucharski of Canton, Michigan, father of Alex. "When we didn't play music, he would fight sleep."

Let's Play: Weekly Baby Activities

Find two perfect, development-boosting activities for every week of your baby's first year.

Music may even help strengthen premature babies. Researchers from Brigham Young University studied the effects of music on 33 premature infants in the neonatal intensive care unit at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo. Cassette players piped voices of men and women singing lullabies into each baby's isolette for 40 minutes a day for four days. When doctors examined the babies on the fourth day, they found that babies who were exposed to music gained more weight, and had lower blood pressure and a stronger heartbeat.

Music can benefit you, too. It has the power to lift your spirits, soothe your frayed nerves, and move you to dance. And music helps with bonding. Imagine the joy you'll share with your child when you sway to the beat of a lovely melody (try Stevie Wonder's "You Are the Sunshine of My Life"). Or how soothing it will be for you and your baby when you sing him a lilting lullaby ("Hush Little Baby" is always a winner).

Can music make my baby smarter?

The jury's still out on this question because not much research is available. Some experts claim that learning to play an instrument makes kids smarter in math, but that conclusion is based on research that focused on older children, not babies and young toddlers. For instance, one study found that piano lessons may enhance children's spatial reasoning skills (the ability to understand three-dimensional space), but experts tested only 3- and 4-year-olds.

New Ways to Improve Children's Intelligence

Children's intelligence is formed of inheritance of genetic factors, environmental influences, and methods to improve it. Most were never discussed during this third factor is the method of increasing intelligence by design. The most well known of course is through the school, while the other methods using the game means.

If all this reading widely accepted as a more effective way to improve intelligence, in fact this assumption is mistaken. Watching television - especially films - more successful in raise the intelligence of children. By watching the movie, which is active not only in vision and brain as when reading a book, but also senses the ear. At the movies, the child will train the coordination of multi-tasking between sensory eyes, ears and brain as well. The earlier the child is familiar with the film, the more intelligent the child.It applies also to learn the language, such as English or Mandarin. If you can text Indonesian Language in the movies do not need to be seen so that more children getting ear to catch the words in a foreign language.Therefore, the campaign watching foreign films should be more vigorous campaign than reading a book. Reuters Group also need to change the activity center that was producing books, newspapers, magazines and tabloids and add to produce local films and distributing foreign films. Thus the mission of educating the child will more quickly achieve the target.The other method is by varying the child's social environment. Children should not only have the monotony of school and their families, but sometimes children need to be introduced to the different and changing environments. For example, children included music lessons or tutoring lessons with different participants from her school friends, and if you can quite often be changed tutoring or tutoring.By way of varying the environment, the child will be getting smarter adapt, catch up, read the situation faster and faster learning.The combination of reading books - see the movie - changing the social environment will increase the intelligence of children with a rate of at least 15% higher. In addition to improving intelligence, the child will also be more prudent.Factor combination of wit and wisdom that is rare at this time.
