perception of speech sounds in the infant brain using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Each set of researchers collected data from young infants around 3 months. Different qualities of sound were presented to the infants in order to measure the activation of certain structures in the brain. The hemodynamic responses to different qualities of sound allowed the two sets of researchers to determine the general functions of the different areas of the infant brain while perceiving speech.

Another purpose was to examine the impact of specific maternal and infant qualities on the components of MRA over the first year of life (Miles et al.‚ 2011). Finally the authors hoped to “contribute to nursing science about MRA with this rare population of infants” (Miles et al.‚ 2011‚ p. 21) as there has been little research regarding the process of MRA in mothers of medically fragile infants.

There are multiple tools used for scoring infants with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome. By far‚ the most widely used and studied is the Finnegan Scoring System. It is based off of the nurse’s subjective observations. It looks at the infants central nervous system‚ respiratory system‚ gastrointestinal system‚ and

combination of family groupings‚ continuity of care‚ primary caregiving‚ and rich partnerships with families enhance healthy infant development and learning in the context of infant care. It is very important that an infant develops a relationship with at least one primary caregiver for social and emotional development to occur normally. The attachment theory suggests that infants‚ toddlers and adults need time to create positive emotional bonds with one another. The transition between home and school

Introduction: Kangaroo care is defined as the way of “holding a preterm or full term infant so that there is skin-to-skin contact between the infant and the person holding it. The baby‚ wearing only a diaper‚ is held against the parent’s bare chest. Kangaroo Care (also Kangaroo Maternal [Mother] Care or Skin-to-Skin Contact and Breastfeeding) is a method used to restore the unique mother-infant bond following the sudden separation during the birth experience particularly in premature births”(

The way a parent cares and tends to their infant may affect the child’s intellectual development. The book Child Care and Child Development contains information and studies about child care. For instances‚ if you abuse your child this can lead for a child not to communicate right away. This affects their intellectual thought process by not letting or helping a child further their learning because of being abused‚ another example in this text is not having a relationship with a child can affect their

During infant physical development is the progress of synaptogenesis and subsequent pruning. From time an infant is born until it is 4 its brain mass quadruples and so do the number of dendrites and synapses (Boyd & Bee‚ 2006). A newborn infant already has an almost completely developed medulla and midbrain‚ but its cortex is very immature. During the first few years the cortex

Over the first few months of life‚ nearly all of an infant’s perceptual abilities improve dramatically. One of the most important perceptual abilities is to be able to decide accurately how far away a person or object is. This is very valuable as infants move around‚ because they are likely to fall and hurt themselves if they do not know how far away various objects and obstacles are. This depth and distance perception allows us to change 2D information from the retina‚ into 3D information. We achieve
