Secrets of the Infant Mind
Assume that an infant's subdued behavior stems from their complete insecurities with themselves. Children are ignorant of the pressures and ideals of culture, tradition, and society and are therefore indifferent when it comes to status, money, fame, or fashion. They don't worry about being buried in responsibilities, they won't feel the pressure of your taxes, or they won't be able to sleep a whole night for months. Like most narcissistic adults in society, children get their own needs met. They eat. They sleep. Or so we thought.
Pioneering research from the University of California
Pioneering research from the University of California revealed that infants as young as six months old have the ability to rationalize using probabilities. Also, in 1997, Hungarian researchers discovered that infants as young as one year old were capable of understanding rational action.
When infants observed repeated behavior of an object, they developed a logical expectation that the object's behavior would remain consistent. Further evidence emerged in a 2009 French and American study of newborns, which concluded that infants may recognize numbers.
The researchers played a card sequence game with the sounds of four and twelve cards, followed by pictures of objects. Infants stared longer at the pictures associated with the number of sounds, suggesting that newborns may be perceiving numerical values.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have been expanding their studies on children's brains,Baby revolution“According to MIT scientists, babies are born sophisticated learners who know more about the world than we previously thought.
In London, at University College London and Birkbeck College, "baby labs" have been established solely to research infant brain capacity. Similar facilities exist at the Centre for Infant and Child Studies at the University of Toronto and the MIT Early Childhood Research Institute, where they study infant cognition and language development.
The magic of working with a child's brain is a product of this generation.
A generation ago, no one was interested. During my pregnancy, I happened upon a book on parenting advice from Dr. Spock. After that, I drank my cup of curiosity and, instead of waiting for it to end, immersed myself in books that helped me explore the mind of my unborn child. I learned many fascinating facts about the developing child's brain.
The miracle of the infant mind
Did you know that just two months after birth, a baby's brain is growing at about 1.8 million threads per second, faster than ever before? Also, contrary to our belief that babies are merely seeking entertainment, the dance-like hand movement that infants make is an involuntary response called the Moro reflex, which occurs when babies sense the sensation of falling due to a change in position.
I also learned some shocking information that would scare most parents, which is the theory that Sudden Infant Death Syndrome It is not caused by sleeping position, but rather occurs when babies dream about the womb while asleep. It is believed that babies stop breathing during dreaming because breathing is unnecessary in the womb, leading to death.
baby razor
In general, infants confuse many parents. They essentially need all the information to understand, yet are unable to explain or understand their own thoughts or feelings.
I guess that's why there's a desire to get inside their heads. Maybe if you learned more you could control a baby's crying, fill them with happiness or better yet, put him to sleep (While breathing, of course.) I think it's fascinating to watch this generation of babies develop through this magic. Maybe these multi-million dollar labs and dozens of researchers will crack the code and unlock the mysteries of the baby mind. Who knows? Their thoughts might be profound... or maybe they'll just think, "Ummm... yet?"
The coming time
It is understandable that academic findings on any given subject rarely translate into practical application, but one can only hope that investigating children will help to infant characterWhat is most interesting, in my opinion, is not the thoughts or potential intelligence of an infant, but what it makes us think and do.
Roots of Empathy is a successful school-based program that began in Toronto in 1996 and has since expanded to Germany, New Zealand, and the United States. It observes children’s development, not in “baby labs.” Instead, the children visit elementary school children at regular intervals so that the children can participate in their development, learning how to care for and nurture another person. The magical aspect of this program isn’t that the children solve complex math equations, but that the children bring out love and compassion in humans. I’m sure babies are better at exposing our heart’s intentions than we are at revealing them.
