Maturation is in the Infancy/Childhood stage of life. When George is an infant or a child he will begin to mature and his behavior will become more adult-like as he grows older.]]> 2022-11-10 12:53:10 UTC https://padlet.com/15006273/dx976bjuywm9bs7z/wish/2378556004 13003571 https://padlet.com/15006273/dx976bjuywm9bs7z/wish/2378557665 After George's birth, he like all babies survived on natural instinct using the Rooting Reflex. This helped his mother feed him as whenever something touched his cheek he turned towards the touch in search of a nipple to feed on.

Fetus George's FAS would affect his general cognition and health when born, forcing his head to be disproportionate to his body and making his face abnormal. ]]> 2022-11-10 12:56:57 UTC https://padlet.com/15006273/dx976bjuywm9bs7z/wish/2378560715 13003571 https://padlet.com/15006273/dx976bjuywm9bs7z/wish/2378562754 American psychologist William James presumed that newborn babies experience a "blooming, buzzing, confusion."

The inner cells of the zygote would form into an Embryo, a stage of development of a human organism, at his second month, with the outer layer forming into the placenta which would feed Embryo George. George would finally develop into a Fetus at nine weeks, and would stay as a fetus until birth.]]> 2022-11-10 13:03:01 UTC https://padlet.com/15006273/dx976bjuywm9bs7z/wish/2378568845 13003571 https://padlet.com/15006273/dx976bjuywm9bs7z/wish/2378571180 George like other babies displays lots of habituation. Habituation is a decreasing responsiveness with repeated stimulation. As babies become more familiar with a repeated exposure they begin to lose interest in that exposure.

He picked the one with the dog's face. This test was used on many babies and it proved that babies like adults focus on the face first, and then body.]]> 2022-11-10 13:08:59 UTC https://padlet.com/15006273/dx976bjuywm9bs7z/wish/2378577169 15006273 https://padlet.com/15006273/dx976bjuywm9bs7z/wish/2378581390 Infantile amnesia is where children forget things before the age of 3 and a half, but are able to remember things after they pass this age. If there was a fire at George's preschool due to a burning popcorn maker he would most likely remember this if he was around 4 or 5 years old. In contrast, if he was 3 or 2 when this happened he would be much less likely to remember. ]]> 2022-11-10 13:11:58 UTC https://padlet.com/15006273/dx976bjuywm9bs7z/wish/2378581390 13003571 https://padlet.com/15006273/dx976bjuywm9bs7z/wish/2378584833 Throughout his young years we noticed George loved looking at pictures of people that were close to him. When given visual stimuli not only did George gaze longer at a face-like image he also preferred to look at images 8-12 inches away from his face. That is also the approximate distance from a nursing infant's eyes to their mother's.]]> 2022-11-10 13:13:56 UTC https://padlet.com/15006273/dx976bjuywm9bs7z/wish/2378584833 15006273 https://padlet.com/15006273/dx976bjuywm9bs7z/wish/2378587375 If George is tied to a cradle so that when he kicks his foot the cradle rocks, George will learn and remember this.

On the day of your birth, you had most of the brain cells you will ever have, except your nervous system wasn't mature yet. After birth, your branching neural networks had a wild growth spurt.

This made George feel more at home when around his mother's scent. In order to test this theory experimenters took a gauze pad from their mother's bra and one from another nursing mother. When given the option of both George went to his mother's because he connected the smell. We also noticed how George was more likely to play with toys that smelled like his mother's perfume.]]> 2022-11-10 13:19:34 UTC https://padlet.com/15006273/dx976bjuywm9bs7z/wish/2378594540 15006273 https://padlet.com/15006273/dx976bjuywm9bs7z/wish/2378595177 As an infant's muscles and nervous system mature, skills emerge.

George will begin to experience changes in his body, this is known as puberty. George will see a surge of hormones and will start to become stronger and grow hair in places such as the face and armpits. Not only will George experience physical changes, but also mental changes. Myelin in Geroge's brain will begin to grow around the axons enabling better communication throughout the brain.

Puberty will cause a surge of hormones which trigger bodily changes in George's body.
