|
- child development proceeds along a predictable pathway

|
|
core elements: what a newborn can do
|
- use all 5 senses
- have a personality - interact dynamically with caregiver |
|
complex newborn behavior
|
- habituation: selectively shut out negative stimuli
- attachment: reciprocal bonding with caregiver - state regulation: modulate level of arousal in response to different degrees of stimulation - perception: regard faces, turn to voices, quiet when hear singing, track colorful objects, respond to touch, recognize familiar scents |
|
newborn without core or complex behavior could indicate
|
neurologic condition, drug withdrawal, serious illness
