https://padlet.com/masters2023/ty8ymdf5gl8pt69v Let's discuss how his development during infancy/toddlerhood might have been affected based on his behavior when he was captured. en-us 2023-09-14 00:22:51 UTC 2023-10-11 12:08:09 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f476.png https://padlet.com/masters2023/ty8ymdf5gl8pt69v/wish/2710612843 Before the age of 12 he didn't have any language abilities due to the lack of exposure. This explain the importance of the a nurturing environment and the need for adults to teach the child. 

After the age of 12 he only managed learn 2 words. This also show the importance crucial early learning years  which Victor lost out being lost in the forest. ]]> 2023-09-19 11:00:40 UTC https://padlet.com/masters2023/ty8ymdf5gl8pt69v/wish/2710612843 https://padlet.com/masters2023/ty8ymdf5gl8pt69v/wish/2710614157 Missed out on learning about sensations. 
In the forest and it may be cold, he wasn’t taught and may not know the feeling of warm and cold.

Hence since he did not learn the concept of hot and cold, he is not aware of the dangers of extreme heat and cold. ]]> 2023-09-19 11:06:18 UTC https://padlet.com/masters2023/ty8ymdf5gl8pt69v/wish/2710618883 https://padlet.com/masters2023/ty8ymdf5gl8pt69v/wish/2710620170 From birth to 12 years old, Victor was living in the jungle. From infancy aspect, we do not see any cognitive development as it not seen from the video. 

However, language association is taught such as 'milk' and 'oh god', which are just single syllable (probably based on what he heard). At the age of 12, typical child should be able to express and string words into sentences. 

He is able to react to the current environment/mood/feeling and respond in an emphathatic manner when the caregiver was feeling sad on the passing of her huaband. Based on the secure attachment theory, probably Victor sees the caregiver 24/7 and thus able to sense and understand the feeling of the caregiver when she is feeling sad. ]]> 2023-09-19 11:07:33 UTC https://padlet.com/masters2023/ty8ymdf5gl8pt69v/wish/2710620170 https://padlet.com/masters2023/ty8ymdf5gl8pt69v/wish/2710620487 Although this boy has no language and is unable to speak, he is able to empathise with the housekeeper. Does this mean he also observes this behaviour in nature?  Seems like language is harder to pick up but empathy for others is universal. 

He may have trouble socialising with people beyond his close circle (housekeeper). According to Piaget, at that infancy skills, they’re at the trust versus mistrust stage and thus this may have affect their socialisation with other people. ]]> 2023-09-19 11:07:54 UTC https://padlet.com/masters2023/ty8ymdf5gl8pt69v/wish/2710620487 leow_wee_meng_frankie1 https://padlet.com/masters2023/ty8ymdf5gl8pt69v/wish/2710624561 Before he was captured, he grew up in the woods. So he need to learn how to survive in the wild like hunt for food, shelter and survive under extreme weather conditions like learn to climb around (i.e., to be more agile). So because of that his gross motor skills (e.g., better motor coordination, spatial awareness and balance) would be more developed than his fine motor skills. 

Furthermore, as he is living in the wild, he is likely to have observed how wild animals like monkeys look for food and move. So this further allows him to model after the wild animals through social learning (e.g., significant adult in zone of proximal development). However, this might also contributed to him developing posture that affect his overall physical appearance (e.g. slouching more like what animals do).]]> 2023-09-19 11:11:55 UTC https://padlet.com/masters2023/ty8ymdf5gl8pt69v/wish/2710624561
