Document Summary
Preverbal infant whose parents will take their babbling as a placeholder for speech in a conversation. Children who shift attention from what they"re looking at to whatever adult verbally refers to, child will attribute new word to new object. Not just observable behaviour but also think about what motivates them. Will kids watch an adult do an action wrong and copy it directly, or complete the goal. Study found that some kids can get the lid on the water bottle even if they didn"t directly do it. Interacting as a group towards a common goal. Traditional methods of assessment are inadequate (dynamic assessment methods proposed) Inferences are drawn about perception based on observations (behaviour) Researchers primarily focus on visual and auditory perception in infants. Some work examining other senses, such as taste, pain perception, touch, smell. Evidence for some perceptual abilities before birth (e. g. , taste, auditory perception) Two visual stimuli that differ in some way are presented simultaneously.
