1. Watch Dr. Alison Gopnik's Ted Talk "What do babies think?". It is 18 minutes long. What surprised you about this Ted Talk? I was very surprised that babies and children tend to be more conscious than us grownups. I mean when you’re an adult they tend to be more conscious but I guess that curve ball is that we have a much broader of a surrounding and then other thing tend to disappear on what it doesn’t to us as adults than when we were adults. What do you think of Alison Gopnik’s message? I will some way agree and some may disagree but I am very open to anything so I good what she mentioned. How are babies like scientists? These babies tend to already a lot of the thinking and learning that when you think that is very knowledgeable What was the difference between the 15-month-olds and the 18-month-olds in the broccoli experiment? As …show more content…
18-month-olds they liked the broccoli instead of the crackers but as a 15-month-olds they only gave the crackers. Which seemed to be that it takes a while for the 15-month-old to pick up what it really is since they are about observing its surroundings and curious. What is her explanation for our long childhood?
She explains that Childhood is separate from evolutionary stage than what it really is to be a human. How are babies research and development? And, how are we production and marketing? From my perspective I will say that they see that adults have bigger brains relative to the body by far than any other such as animals. Also, that they are smarter, flexible, can learn more, survive in varies environments, and our babies/children can be dependent on us much longer than other species such as animals In what ways are 4-year-olds better at statistics than adults? I will say that children are adjusted to their hypotheses when they see data How are babies more conscious than adults? Gopnik argues that babies aren’t just only conscious, but they are more conscious than adults. She backs ups her argument with point of views beginning with a general idea that adults may have more conscious experience but tend to disregard in some areas. She uses a scenario such as the kitchen like we as adults aren’t aware in our surroundings and go beyond our ways in our
routine How are babies and young children’s brains different than ours as adults? Kids brains tend to be more organized and differently than the adults, based on the studies they done with probably cat scanning the brain and it develops and maintains throughout the years. The child’s neural connections are led by nearness to one another than in the adult brains. How does she describe baby neurotransmitters? Repetition, active participation and talking to babies Helps brain develop faster Do you agree with Dr. Gopnik’s idea that we should be getting more adults to think like children? Babies sometimes may have the advantage when it comes to discovery and creativity but as an adult infant are not as focused on planning or decision-making. They are instead figuring out everything that is going on around them
Watching Jamila Lyiscott’s Ted Talk made me ponder why articulate speech is considered articulate. To me, the proper way of speaking English is nonexistent. Society imposes proper English to appear articulate. Jamila Lyiscott’s point of speaking English in three opposing techniques demonstrates how everyone conveys English in a different way. Jamila speaks the way she would at home, school, and work. All languages are equal, especially speaking trilingually. Out of three English approaches, not one nor two are correct, but all three versions are proper manners of speaking. In my opinion, not many people in today’s society would hire someone for a job if they spoke the way Jamila did with her friends. This is simply due to how she speaks slang
In Jane McGonigal’s Ted Talk, “The game that can give you ten extra years of life” explains how she created a game called “Jane the Concussion Slayer” to help her overcome a concussion that didn’t heal properly. McGonigal describes to her audience the different levels and power-ups she created to make herself feel better. In doing so, she believed it helped her tackle challenges with more creativity, determination, and optimism. McGonigal then concludes her speech and challenges her audience to create their own game to add years to their lives. Taking away from this video, I have decided to create my own game so I can have a good and productive fall semester by creating “Power Points” to help me stay an organized and determined college student.
Their intellectual development increases as they start to communicate and socialise with others. The baby will talk in a language to express themselves and how they are feeling gaining knowledge.
It is only human to be biased. However, the problem begins when we allow our bigotry to manifest into an obstacle that hinders us from genuinely getting to know people. Long time diversity advocate, Verna Myers, in her 2014 Ted Talk, “How to overcome our biases? Walk boldly toward them” discusses the implicit biases we may obtain when it comes to race, specifically black men and women. Myers purpose is quite like the cliché phrase “Face your fears.” Her goal is to impress upon us that we all have biases (conscious or unconscious). We just have to be aware of them and face them head on, so that problems such as racism, can be resolved. Throughout the Ted Talk, Verna Myers utilizes an admonishing yet entertaining tone in order to grasp our attention
Katy Hutchison opened to viewers with two heart felt stories during her Ted Talk. In her opening, she states lots of experiences will happen in life whether it be great or bad. She believes that when it them becomes a time in one’s life where a mess happens then there’s a moral responsibility to clean up the mess no matter the means. In the process, if cleaning the problem one may realize that they’ve been standing next to the person who created the mess. In the moment of realization, you’ll begin to feel the amount of possibility. What I gained from her message was that life has its up and down. While you’re up life is great, and everything goes as for as planned. You look forward to the next day because you know it going to be great. But,

The first stage is called sensorimotor which defines behaviors associated with infants up to two years of age. During the sensorimotor stage, children are seeking everything in which they can obtain a new taste, sound, feeling, and sight. Generally, children do not have understanding of these new experiences; it is more of exposure. The second stage is called preoperational which includes children from ages two through seven. “Children at this stage understand object permanence, but they still don’t get the concept of conservation. They don’t understand that changing a substance’s appearance doesn’t change its properties or quantity” (Psychology Notes HQ, 2015, Section Preoperational Stage). Piaget conducted an experiment with water, two identical glasses and a cylinder. Piaget poured the same amount of water in the two glasses; the children responded that there was indeed the same amount of water in the two glasses. He then took the two glasses of water and poured them into the cylinder. When asked if the tall beaker contained the same amount of water, the children responded that the beaker had more water than the glass. However, by the age of seven years of age, children can understand more complex and abstract concepts. At this point, the child is operating in the concrete operational stage. Children also can learn different rules; sometimes, they lack the understanding associated with those rules. When a child
In acquiring this new-found knowledge Piaget stated that when the child is given a more complex problem they can use logical and cognitive processes to answer instead of just their imagination and/or visual prospects (Feldman, 2006, pp. 286-287). Although some kids may not fully just jump into the concrete operation stage Piaget says it is completely normal that kids shift back and forth between preoperational and concrete operational thinking during the two years before they completely reach the stage. When the process is complete you should notice how your child becomes more sophisticated in handling their information. Their concepts of speed and time also highly increase. During the middle childhood stage, short term memory improves significantly. For example, a child will be able to repeat a set of numbers back to you with more ease and less concentration then they could before (Feldman, 2006, p. 289). Vocabulary of children also begin to rapidly increase during the school years. They can take in what the teacher says and store it in their brains so more knowledge is obtained. This is the stage in which your child usually learns to read and
At this point in life, infants can only experience the world through sensory and motor experiences and their knowledge is solely gained through sensations or actions that they experience. When an infant is born, Piaget believes that they lack the capacity for mental representation and thus must experience everything in the present as it is presented in front of them. (Galotti, 2014) With this being said, this means that infants are constituted as being completely different that older adults and teens in the fact that they do not have conscious recollections of their past experiences and have no ideas of the
“If you think about the brain and the brain development if we don’t stimulate the brain then of course there is going to be lack of development.” (“Unruh”). Development is sempiternal in life, it moves through many stages into life such as learning to grasp a fork properly to grasping the thought of death. General development stages begin at birth and last till about age of 18, but the most important development stages start from birth and last till about six years of age. These early stages will affect how one will behave, interpret, and learn throughout the duration of one’s life. While bodily changes are rapidly occurring and the beginning of thought, opinion, and reason are just forming. It is important to understand as future parents or caregivers how and when their child, even if premature, is developing socially, cognitively, or physically.
Learning in this manner has not yet been proven to affect the brain or nervous system but the thought of making someone think differently, as the Controllers did in BNW with many babies, can be frightening. The D.H.C said hypnopedia was a great way to embed thoughts into their memories. Making the babies hear the voice repeat words about why they should love their life and accept it, created the perfect world the people lived in. (BNW Ch.2) The Director also explained that hypnopedia could not be used to teach something they have never been exposed to because it would never be rational. (BNW
...s. Future studies on visual preference are more likely to focus on the environmental aspects surrounding the infant.
The second stage was titled the preoperational stage. From the age of 2 through the age of 7, the mind of the child increases substantially toward developing the mental construction of familiar and regular objects which the child interacts with frequently. The concepts of such objects are only at surface level, meaning how the child has yet to comprehend the complexity of these objects. Furthermore, the child may automatically assume how their environment (namely, those around the child) shares their likes and dislikes. (DeWolfe,
Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget’s theory of cognitive development describes his belief that children try to actively make sense of the world rather than simply absorbing knowledge as previously thought. Piaget’s theory claims that as children grow and develop they experience four different cognitive stages of life. As a child grows through each stage they not only learn new information but the way he or she thinks also changes. “In other words, each new stage represents a fundamental shift in how the child thinks and understands the world” (Hockenbury, page 368).The first stage of Piaget’s theory, known as the sensorimotor stage, begins at birth and continues on until about age 2. As the name suggest, this stage is when children begin to discover
During the birth to two years stage children are learning about the world through their sensations and through their movements. One of the most influential theorist’s Jean Piaget developed four important stages of cognitive development. In the first stage, known as the sensorimotor stage, direct sensory experiences are occurring. Motor actions are occurring as well, which are important for the learning of children as they get older. Since infants at this age are learning through their movements they are using basic actions such as grasping onto objects with their hands, sucking, listening and observing the world around them. With these movements, they are beginning to understand that their actions cause things to happen around them. When this
