The ideas of the zone of proximal development and scaffolding have been applied to older childrens learning as well, and will be explored further in later chapters. (3rd Ed.). One reason the Strange Situation is rst assessed in toddlerhood rather than infancy is that it is only by toddlerhood that children are cognitively mature enough to have developed an internal working model of their primary attachment gure (Ainsworth et al., 1978; Bowlby, 1969). guided participation teaching interaction between two people (often an adult and a child) as they participate in a culturally valued activity Study and Review at MyDevelopmentLab 192 C h ap ter 5 Toddlerhood animals might communicate about food or predators in their immediate environment, but about an innite range of things beyond the present moment. I have always been puzzled by the way other textbooks gloss over toddlerhood, usually including the second year of life as part of infancy and the third year of life as part of early childhood. Yet any parent knows that years 2 and 3 are a lot different from what comes before or after, and I remembered this well from my own experience as a father of twins. A substantial amount of her con- Actual conversation: sciousness since then has been devoted to that cat, whom she named Miles: Daddy, I have something important to ask you. Research has shown that a child with a(n) ______________ attachment classication is most likely to have later problems such as hostility, psychopathology, and cognitive decits. One sociomoral emotion that is especially important to moral development in early childhood is empathy. It means that a child whose IQ was average in 1932 would be way below average by todays standard. 4.11 Summarize the major critiques of Piagets sensorimotor theory. Researchers secretly dabbed a red spot on the nose of babies of different ages and then placed them in front of a mirror. And so on. For instance, Barbara Rogoff has described the collectivistic socialization contexts of schools in Guatemala, as well explore in the Cultural Focus: School Socialization in Guatemala feature. However, based on what we know of human history and of practices today in traditional cultures, it is clear that breast feeding for 2 to 3 years has been the most typical human custom (see Map 5.1; Small, 1998). they reach middle childhood (Whiting & Edwards, 1988). For students who hold religious beliefs that may lead them to object to evolutionary theory, I understand that you may nd this part of the book challenging, but it is nevertheless important to know about the theory of evolution and the evidence supporting it, as this is the view of human origins accepted by virtually all scientists. There was another milestone on Halloween, when they went trick-or-treating separately for the rst time, with friends instead of with us and each other. Because our two eyes are slightly apart on our faces, they have slightly different angles on the visual eld before them, and combining these two angles into one image provides a perception of the depth or distance of the object. 5.20 Identify the characteristics of autism and recognize how autism affects prospects for children as they grow to adulthood. Temperament includes qualities such as activity level, attention span, and emotional reactivity. If infants are strapped to their mothers backs or swaddled for most of the day, they receive little practice in developing gross motor skills. The American model of parenting does not apply well in other cultures. About three-fourths of the children in the study began Map 5.2 on page 212). Even by age 5 or 6, most children have some grasp of metamemory (DeMarie et al., 2001; Lyon & Flavell, 1993). What are the most important nutritional deciencies in toddlerhood, and how do they inuence health? WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED? Review questions appear after each section to help students assess their comprehension of the material and their understanding of the inuence that culture has on development. as a Researcher Considering that colic places neonates at risk for parental maltreatment, how would you design a program to prevent such maltreatment? The Aging Brain: Functional Adaptation Across Adulthood. LEARNING MATH SKILLS There has been far more research on the development of reading than on the development of math skills (Berch & Mazzoccoco, 2007). Many other studies of American and European children since then have found similar results (NICHD Early Child Care Research Network, 2006; van IJzendoorn & Sagi, 2010). However, postpartum depression is deeper and more enduring. 2.2 Describe the sex chromosomes and identify what makes them different from other chromosomes. As noted earlier in the chapter, from about 18 months old toddlers begin to use words to identify and talk about their emotions. Similarly, they become more likely during middle childhood to consider future occupations usually associated with men, whereas boys become less likely to consider future occupation associated with women (Liben & Bigler, 2002). A gap of 24 years between children is common worldwide, traditionally. This demographic prole of humanity today demonstrates that if you wish to understand human development, it is crucial to understand the lives of people in developing countries who comprise the majority of the worlds population. Section 3 Emotional and Social Development 259 Parenting Parents are a key part of childrens lives everywhere, but how parents view their role and their approaches to discipline and punishment vary widely. The hindbrain and midbrain mature earliest and perform the basic biological functions necessary to life. Infants in many cultures are surrounded by adults all day, but cultures vary in how much the adults interact with infants. One popular approach suggests that if a parents request to a young child is ignored or disobeyed, the parent counts a warning: One-twothree, and if the request is not obeyed by three the child is then put in time out, 1 minute for each year of their age (Phelan, 2010). Other studies of institutionalized infants reported similar results (Rutter, 1996). However, the TFR has been declining sharply for over a decade and will decline to 2.1 by 2050 if current trends continue (Ridley, 2010). The typical social environment for infants in developed countries is the nuclear family consisting of a mother, father (perhaps), and (perhaps) one sibling. LEARNING OBJECTIVE 6.3 By early childhood, children are not as vulnerable to health threats as they were in infancy and toddlerhood (UNICEF, 2008). 3.15 Describe the extent to which human mothers bond with their neonates and the extent to which this claim has been exaggerated. For their rst 2 months of life, when infants breathing is blocked, a reex causes them to shake their heads, bring their hands to their face, and push away the cause of the obstruction. The hippocampus is involved in the transfer of information from short-term to long-term memory, so the completion of myelination by age 5 may explain why autobiographical memory (memory for personal events and experiences) is limited prior to this age (Rolls, 2000). It should be kept in mind that Head Start is a program with a million children in tens of thousands of programs, and inevitably the programs vary in quality (Resnick, 2010; Zigler & Styfco, 2004). He never cried when separated from them or wished to be comforted by them. In some ways autism becomes more problematic in adulthood than in childhood, because adults with autism often lack emotional regulation as children with autism do but are bigger and can cause more disruption. This is what has usually happened to prisoners of war who have been subject to such grim conditions (Moore, 2010). From the day we are born, all of us experience our lives as text is essential to understanding human development. 1. For the u, the recommended treatment was to place a spider in a nut shell, wrap it with silk, and hang it around the infants neck. In the second year of lifeduring toddlerhoodthe nal two stages of sensorimotor development are completed. Because Brocas and Wernickes areas have long been known to be part of normal brain anatomy, the genetic basis of language was clear. One day when she was about 3 years old my daughter Paris and I were going through the check-out line in the grocery store, and she said to LEARNING OBJECTIVE 6.13 grammar a languages distinctive system of rules pragmatics social and cultural context of language that guides people as to what is appropriate to say and not to say in a given social situation How might the language used in this kind of play demonstrate a grasp of pragmatics? However, middle childhood is also the time when children are most likely to be involved in organized sports. For example, in China all children now begin learning English in primary school (Chang, 2008). Preschools in Japan teach nothing about reading and numbers. By the time they are 2 years old, toddlers can go beyond the appearance of objects to categorize them on the basis of their functions or qualities. Toddlers say See doggie, not Doggie see; they say My ball, not Ball my. Similar to the one-word holophrases used earlier, telegraphic speech implies more understanding of language than it states explicitly: Big car means Look at the big car, My ball means This is my ball, and so on. APPLYING YOUR KNOWLEDGE How would the advances in gross motor development over the rst year inuence the infants social relationships? . to advocate an end to their labor. They also become capable of complex ne motor activities such as writing. The participants who had arrived in the United States in early or middle childhood scored as well on the test as native English speakers, but beyond those periods the older the age at immigration, the less the persons grammatical knowledge (see Figure 7.7). a. Kwashiorkor b. SIDS c. Marasmus d. Dysentery 2. When infants have a caregiver who provides for them in these ways, they develop a basic trust in their social world. The children and their highest quality care and the children from near-poor backgrounds families were followed longitudinally for 7 years (NICHD Early received the lowest, because the parents of the poorest children Child Care Research Network, 2005). The pace of learning new words doubles, from one to three words per week to ve or six words per week (Kopp, 2003). However, in toddlerhood relations with siblings, peers, and friends become more prominent. Furthermore, most countries contain a variety of cultures, some of which may be relatively individualistic whereas others are relatively collectivistic. Questions WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED? As with other learning disabilities, children with dyslexia are not necessarily any less intelligent than other children; their cognitive problem is specic to the skill of reading. midwife whom the woman knows well. Their children learn the Gusii language as prociently as American children learn English, but they learn it from being frequently in social groups where adults and older children are using language, not from having their language development stimulated directly in frequent daily interactions with their parents. This will be followed by an examination of infant mortality rates and causes, immunizations, and cultural beliefs and practices to protect babies. The relation between parenting and infant crying has also been demonstrated experimentally. 6. Have other credible individuals referenced this source or author? Section 3 VIDEO GUIDE Breastfeeding Practices Across Cultures (Length: 6:19) In this video mothers, and expectant mothers, from various countries are interviewed about their views on breastfeeding. There are a number of reasons for childrens negative responses to remarriage. After this rest period is over, the infant is typically strapped to the mothers back with a cloth as she goes back to her daily duties. In her may have more-educated parents). Within cultures, parenting varies depending on the personalities of the parents, their goals for their children, and the characteristics of the children that evoke particular parenting responses. An asthma attack can be triggered by cold weather, exercise, illnesses, allergies, emotional stress, or for no clear reason (Akinbami & Schoendorf, 2002). However, there have been some favorable results from the Head Start program, too (Brooks-Gunn, 2003; Resnick, 2010). In this demonstration, the adult stops singing and begins to ignore the child. Consequently, the Bayley scales are used mainly as a screening tool, to identify infants who have serious problems in need of immediate attention, rather than as predictors of later development for children within the normal range. What is the cultural basis of obesity? The Wider Social World: Siblings, Peers, and Friends 5.19 LEARNING OBJECTIVE Describe relationships with siblings, peers, and friends during toddlerhood. For example, most can climb up stairs at this age but not (safely) down. Human Development: A Cultural Approach, by Jeffrey Jensen Arnett & Lene Arnett Jensen, (3rd Edition, 2019) - PDF needed . With respect to emotional understanding, in the course of early childhood children become adept at understanding the sources of other peoples expressed emotions (Eisenberg & Fabes, 2006). 7. Parents in most places and times have been more worried that their children would become too selsh than that they would have low self-esteem.

Developing emotional self-regulation is crucial to social relations, because maintaining harmonious social relations often requires us to restrain our immediate impulsesto wait in line, to let others go rst in a game or a conversation, or to take fewer pieces of candy than we really want. Its really you and Mom, isnt it Dad? Paris asked me one day while we were driving somewhere, with a wry smile, as if shed just gured out how an amusing magic trick was performed. In the classic example, if people are given and female relatives. Although millions of infants worldwide die yearly from lack of adequate nutrition and medical care, in the past half century many diseases that formerly killed infants and young children have been reduced or even eliminated due to vaccines that provide immunization (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2006). In early childhood, moral development advances further as children gain a more detailed and complex understanding of the rules and expectations of their culture. In against his sisters warm back. Give an example of a culture where this is the case. DIVERSE FAMILY FORMS Children worldwide grow up in a wide variety of family environments. How do SES, gender, and ethnicity contribute to variations in human development within countries? New York: Pearson. BRAIN SPECIALIZATION Although the entire brain is composed of neurons, the neurons in different parts of the brain have specialized functions. Here, a boy sells candy in a park in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. So, a hunter-gatherer way of life developed, in which females remained in a relatively stable home base, caring for children and perhaps gathering edible plants in the local area, while males went out to hunt or scavenge. When no older sibling was present, the toddlers mostly responded to the mothers departure with distress and to her return with great relief, much as they do in the standard Strange Situation. it can obtain relatively more self-benefit than nonurgent behavior without considering self-benefit. Human Development: A Cultural Approach. GROSS MOTOR DEVELOPMENT: FROM TODDLING TO RUNNING, JUMPING, AND CLIMBING Next time you see a child about a year old trying to walk, observe closely. The birth of the self in toddlerhood is indicated in the development of self-recognition and self-reection. Then, as the song continues, he and cleaning their diapers; the needs of the parents were the top age possible (Mechling, 2008). One study involved mothers of toddlers in six cultures: China, Columbia, Germany, Israel, Japan, and the United States (Posada et al., 1995). Nevertheless, the focus of Simulate the Experiment information processing remains on the components of the thinking process, especially attenThe Information Processing Model tion and memory. Printed in the United States of America. For example, they realize that what people say is not always just what they mean, and that interpretation is required. At this age my son Miles would point to the moon and protest, Its too high! as if he expected us to do something about it. Here, a mother and infant in rural Vietnam. When children begin learning a task, they require substantial instruction and involvement from an adult or more capable peer; but as they gain knowledge and skill, the teacher should gradually scale back the amount of direct instruction provided. In many traditional cultures infants are strapped to their mothers backs for most of the day. In contrast, the poorer performance of the younger children in identifying the locations of the animals was partly due to being distracted by the household items. In Asian cultures, children in middle childhood learn the concept of face, which means showing to others the appropriate and expected emotion regardless of how you actually feel (Han, 2011). CULTURAL VARIATIONS IN TODDLERS LANGUAGE ENVIRONMENTS The other notable feature of most research on toddlers language development, in addition to the passive genotype environment issue just described, is its assumption that most toddler language use takes 197 Toddlers in traditional cultures often experience a language-rich environment. For more information, see www.jeffreyarnett.com. This certainly parents to enforce the regulargave parents a strong incentive to toilet train their children early. 236 C h ap ter 6 Early Childhood APPLYING YOUR KNOWLEDGE .

It varies culturally, given that different cultures have different views of the value of personality traits such as emotional expressiveness. The child feels shame, which is a powerful inducement not to disobey again. : Human Development: A Cultural Approach leads students to examine all stages of development through the engaging lens of culture. 4. What characterizes the interdependent conception of the self that is prevalent in collectivistic cultures? This is a problem that is more likely to occur in developed countries than in developing countries. ers) or unoccupied behavior (wandering around the room alone The change in values has been reected in Chens research or sitting alone doing nothing). This is, in fact, where the word toddler comes from, in reference to their tentative, unsteady, wide-stance steps. The two most common methods of measuring brain activity are the EEG and the fMRI. Mental representation is a crucial milestone in cognitive development, because it is the basis of the most important and most distinctly human cognitive abilities, including language. A more recent study, in Ghana, reported similar results, with children who experienced mild-to-moderate malnutrition in their early years demonstrating lower levels of cognitive development in middle childhood on standardized tests and in teacher ratings, compared to children who were not malnourished (Appoh & Krekling, 2004). All through infancy, in the course of daily activities like feeding and bathing, mothers were counseled to quote the Bible to their infants to lay a foundation of godly thinking.

Boys most often play electronic games involving ghting and sports, whereas girls prefer adventure and learning games. A gap of 48 years between children is common in many cultures across the world. As noted in Chapter 4, it is not the production of new brain cells that marks early brain development. For most children, contact with the father diminishes over time, and only 3540% of children in mother-custody families still have at least weekly contact with their fathers within a few years of the divorce (Kelly, 2003). By age 8 or 9 most children can learn to write in cursive. INJURIES Do you remember becoming injured at all in early childhood? They have few clear expectations for their childrens behavior, and they rarely discipline them. In discussing cultural differences in conceptions of the self scholars typically distinguish between the independent self promoted by individualistic cultures and the interdependent self promoted by collectivistic cultures (Cross & Gore, 2003; Markus & Kitayama, 1991; Shweder et al., 2006).
