Martha regularly showed affection to her infant, Lyla. Martha also consistently responded to Lyla’s distress and didn’t let her own mood dictate the interactions between them. All these behaviors would increase Martha’s chances of having this with her infant. The number

Bayley Scales of infant development
This may be the reason children pick up on speech so quickly. This theory is in place because many experts believe it is impossible for children to be able to learn syntax simply by imitation or memorization. The number
represents this.
A clown approached the child, honking a horn and squeezing his big red nose. The child had never seen anything like this before and didn’t know what to think, so he gazed up at his father to view his reaction. The number
represents this scenario.
A stuffed animal is placed in front of the infant. Then, a piece of cardboard is placed in front of the infant, blocking the view of the animal. The infant then looks around the cardboard to see if the animal is still there. This scenario represents number
The number Infant (Daniel) hugs the pillows just like he does his stuffed animals because they are also soft and fluffy. This scenario represents number
represents this scenario.
This is used to identify delays, chart a child’s progress, teach parents about their child, and to further research in developmental psychology. This is represented by the number
.
The researcher wanted to view how men approached women in a bar. He originally wanted to use a survey that asked the men and women questions. However, he ultimately decided to dress like everyone else, enter the bar, casually eavesdrop, and record his data. The number
represents this scenario.
The biological and environmental variables encompassing development on the whole. The number
represents this.
Peyton Manning’s father, brother, and himself were all quarterbacks in the NFL. As younger children, Peyton and his brothers were immersed in everything football. This type of home life aligns with number
A researcher wanted to study a baby from birth to 18 years old, following up with them at least once per year. Although this would be considered very good research by a developmental researcher, it is not always fathomable. There is a more common and less daunting approach he may want to consider. The number
represents this approach.
If a person is born to parents which both have high IQ’s, this doesn’t guarantee they will be successful, socially intelligent, attractive, or many other significant aspects of an individual’s lifetime. The number
represents this scenario.
The obesity epidemic may be due to the plentiful amounts of food we now enjoy (or overly enjoy). This was not always so, and this area of study may explain why the obesity epidemic we are experiencing now is so prevalent. The number
represents this area.
Caroline is a toddler. She has a pet dog and her neighbor has a pet cat. She often pets these animals. Caroline has a scheme for four-legged furry animals. One day, Caroline visits a farm with her family and sees a horse. The horse has four legs, but is much bigger and not easy to pet. Caroline is now able to organize information about the differences between big and small four-legged animals. The number
represents this scenario.
The influx of Irish immigrants to New York City many years ago caused a shift in the population. It would’ve had quite an impact on those residents at the time. This documented event represents the number
in development.
Baby Michael watched his brother push the button on the toy which made a light go off and a song start to play. The next day, Michael pushed the button just like he observed his brother do. The number
represents this scenario.
James had trouble as a teenager because he wanted to continue to do things associated with younger children, like ride bikes, pick on girls, and just play video games. He would be considered lower than his peers in this certain area. The number
represents this area.
Winning ten million dollars in the lottery at an early age may change the entire trajectory of an individual’s development. Obviously, this wouldn’t be a common developmental variable everyone encounters, such as puberty. The number
represents this scenario.
Drew is now in elementary school and his accomplishments are regularly praised by his instructors and other peers. His abilities only used to be acknowledged by his parents, but now it seems receiving outside recognition is important for him and his development. The number
represents this period of development.
Some experts believe touch and skin-to-skin contact is critical for a newborn baby and affects the bonding process for life. Other experts believe that normal development can be the result, regardless of whether the baby is held or touched by the mother immediately after birth. The experts who believe touch isn’t vital during this time put less emphasis on this during development. The number
represents this.
Lily was predisposed with a lower than average intelligence. However, she was adopted into a family that stressed academic concerns like language, reading, and critical thinking. Her intelligence will probably rise as a result, thereby, passing this intelligence on to her children when she gets older. The number
represents this scenario.
