Study Notes
Summary of Infant and Child Development Study Notes
- Infants a few days old may prefer familiar faces, smells, and voices.
- Parents' and caregivers' attitudes and expectations about infants' abilities may be predictive of their future development.
- One of the best predictors of infant development is the caregiver's ability to interact with the baby.
- The critical time to diagnose and treat hearing impairment is within the first few months of life to ensure normal speech development.
- A mother's special speech, called "parentese", can enhance the infant's attention.
- Infants react to the sounds they hear and develop language skills.
- Musical activities enhance children's cognitive abilities.
Summary of Reading to Children
- Reading picture books to children younger than a year old is beneficial.
- Highly repetitive and simplified "parentese" speech is typical in some cultures.
- The best distance between a caregiver and an infant is 8-12 inches during face-to-face interactions.

- Infants' early ability to recognize subtle differences in sounds helps with language development.
Summary of Language Development
- Identifying and treating hearing impairments early will ensure normal speech development.
