DETAILED ANSWERS (VERIFIED ANSWERS)
|ALREADY GRADED A+
What is stereopsis? - ANSWER- process of combining neural signals to
result in depth perception; emerges at 4 months
What is monocular depth cues? - ANSWER- Depth cues perceieved by
only one eye; 6-7 months
What is auditory localization - ANSWER- the perception of the spatial
location of a sound source
Do infants prefer infant-directed speech or sinigng? - ANSWER- They
prefer infant-directed singing
How do infants start developing the touch sense - ANSWER- through
oral exploration; i.e. sucking on fingers and toes
What do infants do at 4 months to further their touch sense? -
ANSWER- using hands/arms to touch thus developing mental maps of
bodies
2 | P a g e
What is perceptual narrowing? - ANSWER- developmental changes in
which experience fine-tunes the perceptual system
What is intermodal perception? - ANSWER- the combining of
information from two or more sensory systems
What is the McGurk effect? - ANSWER- an example of auditory-visual
intermodal perception
Is motor reflexes dependant on culture? - ANSWER- Yes
- i.e. countries where sitting independently is encouraged vs.
discouraged
What is the impact of diapers on walking behaviours - ANSWER- when
naked, infants displayed mature walking behaviour versus when wearing
diapers
What are affordances? - ANSWER- the possibility that an action
offers/that an object offers
- i.e. door handle gives possibility to open the door; smaller objects give
possibility to pick them up
How does reaching start off for infants? - ANSWER- initially limited to
clumsy swings towards objects they see
3 | P a g e
How can reaching benefit infants? - ANSWER- more experience
reaching objects, improves 3D object processing
What are scale errors? - ANSWER- young children's inappropriate use
of an object due to their failure to consider information about the object's
size
What are grasp errors? - ANSWER- when a child tries to pick up an
object from a 2D representation (like a photo)
What are media errors? - ANSWER- When a child uses interactive
technology to try and pass an object through a screen
What is habituation? - ANSWER- decreasing responsiveness with
repeated stimulation
What does habituation reveal about infant learning? - ANSWER- the
speed of habituation relates to information processing speed
What is statistical learning? - ANSWER- Detecting statistically
predictable patterns in environment
i.e. the regularity with which the sound of Mom's voice is followed by
her face
4 | P a g e
What is the Godilocks Effect for infant learning? - ANSWER- avoiding
patterns in statistical learning that are too hard/esasy
What is classical conditioning? - ANSWER- Learning through
association
(i.e. infants meal through breast, so sucking motion at sight of breast)
What is the unconditioned stimulus? - ANSWER- A stimulus that
evokes an unconditioned response without previous conditioning
(i.e. nipple in mouth)
What is unconditioned response? - ANSWER- a reflexive response that
is elicited by the unconditional stimulus
(i.e. sucking motion)
What is the conditioned response - ANSWER- the orginally reflexive
response that comes to be elicited by the conditioned stimulus
(i.e. anticipatory sucking movement)
What is Operant conditioning? - ANSWER- learning relation between
one's own behaviour and the consequenes
