Across
- 1. average newborn gets 16 hours per day
- 4. The process of getting used to an object or event through repeated exposure to it
- 5. quiet sleep, increases at 3-4 months
- 6. The billions of nerve cells in the central nervous system
- 7. disease of chronic malnutrition during childhood child becomes more likely to get other diseases such as measles, diarrhea and influenza
- 8. like fMRI but requires injection of dye
- 10. Happen to some infants but not all, not necessary for brain function (i.e. language baby hears)
- 11. active and creative exploration using trial and error
- 12. inborn drive to fix a developmental deficit
- 13. severe malnutrition during infancy child stops growing, tissues waste away and then usually dies
- 14. when not enough food of any kind is consumed
- 16. Physical abilities involving small body movements (e.g. drawing, picking up a coin)
- 19. triples by age 1
- 20. being too short for your age due to severe and chronic malnutrition
- 21. People whose ancestors were born in the same region and who often share a language, culture, and religion
- 22. remains hidden until a stimulus brings it to mind
- 23. The environment affords opportunities for interactions with what is perceived
- 24. A group of people who are regarded by themselves or by others as distinct from other groups on the basis of physical appearance
- 26. was designed to provide the illusion of a sudden drop-off between one horizontal surface and another.
- 27. Require basic common experiences in to develop normally (i.e. people who love them)
- 29. Rapid eye movement sleep, Dreaming, rapid brain waves
- 30. the ability to coordinate the two eyes to see one image, appears at 3 months
- 31. the intersection between the axon terminals of one neuron and the dendrites of other neurons.
- 32. Physical abilities involving large body movements (e.g. walking, jumping)
- 35. the high-pitched, simplified, and repetitive way adults speak to infants
- 41. develops during the last trimester of pregnancy is already quite acute at birth the most advanced of the newborn’s senses
- 42. the extended repetition of certain syllables, such as ba-ba-ba, that begins when babies are between 6 and 9 months old
- 43. point on a ranking scale of 0 to 100
Down
- 1. occurring when an infant is forcefully shaken back and forth
- 2. the realization that objects (including people) still exist when they can no longer be seen, touched, or hear.
- 3. a fiber that extends from a neuron transmits electrochemical impulses from that neuron to the dendrites of other neurons.
- 8. the area for anticipation, planning, and impulse control
- 9. Piaget’s term for the way infants think during the first period of cognitive development
- 15. support cells in the brain
- 17. (event related potential): notes amplitude and frequency of electrical activity
- 18. The response of a sensory system (eyes, ears, skin, tongue, nose) when it detects a stimulus.
- 25. the outer layers of the brain
- 27. can be recalled on demand, usually with words
- 28. The mental processing of sensory information when the brain interprets a sensation
- 30. Within the brain, large groups of neurons form distinct areas
- 33. is the least mature sense at birth
- 34. a fiber that extends from a neuron receives electrochemical impulses transmitted from other neurons via their axons.
- 36. custom of parents and children sleeping in same room, more common in Asia, Africa and Latin America than in Western cultures
- 37. unused neurons and misconnected dendrites die
- 38. Protects the brain when malnutrition disrupts body growth
- 39. being very underweight due to malnutrition
- 40. used to locate neurological responses to stimuli
- 44. measures electric activity in cortex
