The video
Students will watch the Babies documentary in class and observe aspects of infants’ physical, cognitive, and social development. Students will then write a 3-5 page cross-cultural comparison of the 4 infants’ development and submit this summary with their observation notes to Canvas by 11:59pm of the due date listed on the syllabus. Make sure you discuss all aspects of development in your paper: fine motor skills, gross motor skills, language, sensorimotor development, temperament, attachment, and parental socialization, and provide specificexamples of each of these from your notes. Discussions of each developmental domain should conform to the following guidelines:
- Gross Motor (e.g., sitting up, rolling over, crawling, cruising, standing, walking, running)
- Fine Motor (e.g., grasping and manipulating objects or toys, feeding oneself with utensils)
- Language (e.g., cooing, babbling, first words, facial expressions, pointing).
- Sensorimotor (e.g., identify and give specific examples of behaviors in specific substages of sensorimotor developmentsuch as assimilation and accommodation, goal-oriented behavior, object permanence, or deferred imitation).
- Temperament (easy, slow-to-warm-up, difficult). Use specific examples of 9 indicators (e.g., quality of mood, activity level, threshold & intensity of responsiveness) to justify temperament classifications for children.
- Attachment (secure, insecure-avoidant, insecure-resistant).Use specific examples to justify your categorizations (e.g., Is child comfortable exploring surroundings in the presence of the parent? Do they get upset at separation from parent? Are they happy to see parent?)
- Parent Socialization (How do the parents raise their children? What do they teach them? How do they discipline them? What experiences do they provide While detailing all 7 of these developmental domains, make relevant cross-cultural comparisons among the four children. These comparisons can include discussions such as which infant walked first vs. last and what aspects of their upbringing led to these differences.
