True OR False??
1. If a mother drinks heavily during pregnancy, her baby may be mentally retarded.
2. Newborns see only a blur of meaningless light and dark shades.3. Before age 2, infants cannot think.4. Infants initially develop close attachments to their mothers, merely
because the mother provides nourishment. 5. Most abusive parents were themselves battered or neglected as children. 6. The first two years of life provide a good basis for predicting a person’s
eventual personality traits. 7. A heartbeat can be detected as early as 8 weeks into pregnancy. 8. Memories before the age of 5 are formulated differently, making them
almost impossible to remember as adults. 9. A young child often believes that the sun rises in the morning to wake
him/her up.

Prenatal Development conception baby 1 single cell 100 trillion cells
EGG + SPERM = ZYGOTEDivides into about 100 cells within a week and then cells begin to differentiate

Terms used to describe the developing human:
• Zygote = fertilized egg• Embryo = 2-8 weeks (difficult to distinguish
human from other mammals at this time)
• Fetus = 9 weeks to birth• Neonate = newborn• Infant = from the first
few days until walking

TeratogensHarmful things such as chemicals or diseases that can reach the developing embryo or fetus and cause damage resulting in birth defects or mental retardation.

Effect of Nicotine on a fetus- increased risk of abnormal fetal heartbeat, premature birth, related complications and miscarriage.
Effects of Alcohol on a fetus- Mothers who drink heavily during pregnancy may have children born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)• Physical and cognitive abnormalities• Brain damage• Facial misproportions:• Small upturned nose, small jaw, small eyes

Infancy• Physical growth rate is faster than any other
postnatal period.• Maturation = physical growth and
development of the body and especially the nervous system.
• Rate varies, but order is virtually universal!
![Page 12: The Decades Of Life](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033102/5681677a550346895ddc7998/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
IMPORTANT: Maturation often creates a condition of readiness for learning.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? (and why does it matter?)

The Newborn• Reflexes- an automatic,
unlearned response– Sucking– Swallowing– Grasping
Temperament- emotional excitability
Easy DifficultSlow to warm-up

Newborn Reflexes• Reflexes that are seen in the newborn indicate
that the nervous system is up and running.– Rooting reflex = looking for food– Grasping reflex = hanging on– Sucking reflex = receiving nourishment– Moro reflex = startle reflex

Tomorrow we will look at cognitive development in
children. What does “cognitive”
