Study Notes
-
Infants who have had experience crawling develop wariness of heights, showing increased heart rate when placed on a glass surface at 6-7 months old, whereas younger infants without crawling experience do not show fear.
-
Piaget's theory of cognitive development proposes that humans progress through four stages: sensorimotor (birth-2 years), pre-operational (2-7 years), concrete operations (7-11 years), and formal operations (over 11 years).
-
The sensorimotor stage is characterized by children acting on objects, coordinating sensory experiences, and forming schemas about objects, with a key accomplishment being the understanding of object permanence.
-
Object permanence is the understanding that an object continues to exist even when it is out of sight, which is demonstrated by infants as young as 3.5 months old in studies using the dishabituation paradigm.
-
Infants' understanding of object permanence differs from adults in that they place more weight on spatiotemporal continuity than on featural continuity.
-
Modeling object permanence can be done using recurrent neural networks (RNNs), which involve feedback connections and can be used to predict the reappearance of occluded objects over time.
-
The development of self-recognition is demonstrated by the rouge test, in which children around 18-24 months old respond to a spot of red rouge on their nose by touching it, whereas younger children touch the mirror or try to look behind it.
-
Mindreading, the ability to understand other people's mental states, is key to human social interaction and is rooted in early childhood pretend play, which emerges around 14 months old.
-
The false belief task is a test of mindreading ability, which involves understanding that someone else can have different and mistaken beliefs about the world.
