Document Summary

Chapter 6 cognitive and language development in infancy. We are born with the innate capacity to adapt to our world by acquiring this knowledge and to apply it to solve problems.

Use knowledge about specific learning abilities in infants to help parents facilitate behavior change in their babies. Dishabituation: infant shows increasing attention to a new and novel alternative stimulus.
