EN 9: Emerging Adulthood Ch. Oxford University Press. Section 2 VIDEO GUIDE Language Development Across Cultures (Length: 7:40) In this video, we talk to parents from different cultural backgrounds about how they communicate with their infants and toddlers and ask them what, if anything, they do to foster their childs language development. LEARNING OBJECTIVE 5.13 THINKING CULTURALLY How does the birth of the self in toddlerhood help explain toddlers responses to weaning in traditional cultures, as described earlier in the chapter? 11. How do sleeping arrangements change in the course of toddlerhood in traditional cultures? 4. Single-father families are relatively rare, but children with a single father are no different than their peers in middle childhood on social and academic functioning (Amato, 2000). What about toddlers in traditional cultures? However, when asked how many of the household items they could remember, younger children performed better than older children. In a variety of ways, gross motor development advances from early to middle childhood. To examine past energy regimes, a database of archaeological remains was compiled to document four indicators: mobility, economy, overexploitation and societal . human development way people grow and change across the life span; includes peoples biological, cognitive, psychological, and social functioning culture total pattern of a groups customs, beliefs, art, and technology globalization increasing connections between different parts of the world in trade, travel, migration, and communication 3 SECTION 1 HUMAN DEVELOPMENT TODAY AND ITS ORIGINS LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1.1 Distinguish between the demographic profiles of developed countries and developing countries in terms of population, income, and education. The principal milestones of ne motor development in infancy are reaching and grasping. However, it is during the latter part of toddlerhood and especially in early childhood that we become truly representational thinkers. That is, the children in these studies received not only their environment from their parents but also their genes, and it is difcult to tell whether the relation between their problems and their parents depression is due to genetics or environment (the problem of passive genotype m environment effects). Cultures vary in their requirements for emotional self-regulation, with collectivistic cultures such as China and Japan tending toward stiffer requirements than the more individualistic cultures of the West (Bornstein, 2006; Laible, 2004; Shweder et al., 2006). 4. For example, in the United States in 1800, only about half of army recruits were even able to sign their own names on the enlistment documents (Rogoff et al., 2005). Cosleeping tends to reect collectivistic beliefs, that members of the culture are closely bound to one another (Small, 1998). It is not only in traditional cultures that cultural learning takes place via guided participation. Human development by Jeffrey Jensen Arnett, Jun 25, 2018, Pearson edition, . Toddlers in developing countries often suffer protein and micronutrient deciencies that impede their physical and cognitive development. Anger is expressed early in the form of a distinctive anger cry, as described in Chapter 3, but as an emotional expression separate from crying it shows development over the course of the rst year (Dodge et al., 2006; Lewis, 2010). Why is early childhood an especially important time for the development of responses to music? How do only children compare to children with siblings in terms of their self-esteem, intelligence, and social relations with peers? Developing trust in infancy provides a strong foundation for all future social development, whereas developing mistrust is likely to be problematic not only in infancy but in future life stages. xx Preface xxi s Media assignments for each chapterincluding videos with assignable questionsfeed directly into the gradebook, enabling instructors to track student progress automatically. Other children tend to associate obesity with undesirable characteristics such as being lazy, sloppy, ugly, and stupid (Tiggemann & Anesbury, 2000). In another well-known test of theory of mind, children are shown a box that appears to contain a kind of candy called Smarties and asked what they think is in the box (Gopnik & Astington, 1988). Remember little Makori, the Gusii baby introduced at the beginning of the chapter? The parents speak English, and they are comfortable in the hospital setting in the U.S. Do you think this family has more in common with those from the urban setting where you work, or are they more like people from rural areas? Dad is the one throwing the kids in the air and catching them, or wrestling with them, but usually he has not been the one feeding them applesauce or changing their diapers.

They direct their attention not just to whatever sensations are most stimulating but to what the people around them are attending to, engaging in joint attention. It also reects their egocentrism, How does performance on this task indicate egocentrism? 7YVQLJ[LK Section 1 Human Development Today and Its Origins 7 Population 30 30 0 0 Developed countries = 18.0% of the world population 30 30 Developing countries = 82.0% of the world population 120 60 150 90 60 30 0 30 60 90 120 150 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) 30 30 0 0 Developed countries = 55.4% of the world GDP Developing countries = 44.6% of the world GDP 150 30 30 120 60 150 90 60 30 0 30 60 90 120 150 education (see Map 1.2).

Chapt er 5 7. The brains synaptic density peaks at the end of toddlerhood, followed by many years of synaptic pruning. Current research on cognitive development in early childhood has moved beyond Piagets theories. Videos are available in multiple formats: on an instructors DVD, tied to quizzes in MyDevelopmentLab, and linked to QR codes in the book to enable students to access the videos directly from their smart phones. According to Piaget, how much of an effect does the environment have on our cognitive development? As this study illustrates, in learning language children also learn a way of seeing the world and the values and beliefs of their culture. Speed of habituation positively predicts memory Section 2 Cognitive Development 153 ability on other tasks in infancy, as well as later performance on intelligence tests (Courage et al., 2004; Rose et al., 2005). Lets examine the course of this remarkable achievement, looking rst at the biological and evolutionary bases of language, then at specic language milestones of toddlerhood, and nally, at the cultural and social context of toddlers language use. EEG research on toddlers has found a sharp increase in overall cortical activity from 18 to 24 months (Bell & Wolfe, 2008), reecting important advances in cognitive and language development that we will examine later in this chapter. 2005). Lene Arnett Jensen is Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts. This long period of infant dependency may have made it difcult for early Homo mothers to travel for long distances to accompany the males on hunting or scavenging expeditions (Wrangham, 2009).

This time it is the molarsthe large teeth in the back of the mouthwhich are bigger and more painful as they emerge than were the teeth that emerged in infancy. Evolutionary biologists have suggested that bipedal locomotion may have been a useful adaptation because it freed the hands for other things, such as carrying food, using a tool, or wielding a weapon against predators or prey (or other hominids) (Ember et al., 2011). Are they selective about what they publish? Those of you pursuing careers in education will likely teach students whose families emigrated from countries in Africa or Europe. Here we look rst at how nutritional needs change over the rst year, then at the prevalence and effects of malnutrition. In a 15-year followfoster care for maltreated children, approach in up comparing families who participated in the NFP to other families with similar risks, the NFP which adults approved by a state agency take over group showed a 79% reduction in child abuse and neglect (Eckenrode et al., 2001). The exaggeration and repetition of words gives infants cues to their meaning (Soderstrom, 2007). In her early research, Ainsworth and her colleagues observed families in their homes, including the same motherchild pairs they later observed in the laboratory in the Strange Situation (Ainsworth, 1977). The most recent version of the Bayley scales now includes a measure of habituation (Bayley, 2005), which may improve reliability and predictive validity above previous versions of the scale.

Being obese increases the likelihood that a child will be socially excluded and the object of ridicule by peers (Janssen et al., 2004; Strauss & Pollack, 2004). This means that many children died before reaching reproductive age, and based on current patterns it seems likely that many of them died in infancy. Advances in Vocabulary and Grammar 6.12 LEARNING OBJECTIVE sensitive period in the course of development, a period when the capacity for learning in a specic area is especially pronounced Explain how advances in vocabulary and grammar occur in early childhood. c. children are toilet trained in a nearly identical way as their counterparts in traditional cultures.

Social Gerontology: A Multidisciplinary Perspective. Toilet Training Compare and contrast the process and timing of toilet training in developed countries and traditional cultures. 4. This response shows that they recognize and respond to the cry as a signal of distress (Gazzaniga, 2009). Other studies in other countries have found similar results, with better-nourished children scoring higher than malnourished children on a wide range of cognitive and social measures in middle childhood (Grigorenko, 2003; Wachs, 2002). Age 9 My, how theyre growing up. During this stage children become capable of using mental operations, which allow them to organize and manipulate information mentally instead of relying on physical and sensory associations. The distinction between a sex difference and a gender difference is not always as clear as in these examples, as we will see in this and other chapters. c. naps are no longer needed. d. individuality is stressed from the time children enter preschool as a way to encourage children to reach their full potential. To Piaget, we do not simply have a greater cognitive capacity as we age and develop, we actually think differently at each life stage. They tend to be impulsive and have difculty controlling their emotional reactions, which disrupts group activities, to the annoyance of their peers. This principle is referred to by scholars as reciprocal or bidirectional effects between parents and children (Combs-Ronto et al., 2009).

Children generally benet cognitively from attending preschool, but the social effects of preschool are more mixed and in some ways negative. The most striking and important change during this period was the size of early Homos brain, which became over twice as large as the brain of early hominids (see Figure 1.2; brain sizes are shown in cubic centimeters [cc]). However, once children have begun to read they can also benet from supplementing phonics instruction with the whole-language approach, with its emphasis on the larger meanings of written language and on using material from school subjects such as history and science to teach reading as well (Pressley et al., 2002; Silva & Martins, 2003).

In many traditional cultures, infants rarely touch the ground during their early months of life. The introduction of schooling changes the socialization environment not only for school-age children but for younger children. For example, a child may be no good at sports, but not care about sports, in which case low athletic self-concept would have no effect on overall self-esteem. To put this in terms of the distinction between sex and gender just described, sex differences sometimes underly gender differencesbut not always, as we shall see. By now this process no doubt comes naturally to you, after so many years of reading. Most people experience infantile amnesia (the inability to remember anything prior to age 2) and have limited memory for personal events that happened before age 5. 3. The correlation for biological siblings is genetic relationship, the higher the correlation higher, about .50, and slightly higher still for DZ twins. Her idea of guided participation refers to the interaction between two people (often an adult and a child) as they participate in a culturally valued activity. So, The girl fed the dog-u means the same as The dog-u fed the girl. Turkish toddlers use the u rule correctly by their third year, just as English-speaking children learn the correct use of English syntax by their third year (Aksoy & Slobin, 1985). .
