The abstract is typically a short summary of the contents of the document.] | Each child will go through the same developmental process, varying in time and order. During prenatal development the fetus is dependent on the mother to provide the child with a healthy environment to help promote the proper physical development of the unborn child. Healthy development of a child begins at conception. As the fetus grows and develops senses, organs, and brain function, the mother’s lifestyle controls the quality of development in all of the important areas. (Groark, McCarthy, & Afton, 2014) Physical and motor development The infant’s head is heavier than the rest of their body and they are unable to have any control over its movement; of course the does not mean the head does not move but that the movement is only a reflex. The infant at this stage in development has natural reflexes: Moro or startle reflex, which is the sudden extension of arms and legs, head, jerks back and newborn may often gasp in air and cry out. This reflex is often seen when child is surprised by a loud sound or sudden movement. (Groark, McCarthy, & Afton, 2014) Rooting reflex is the natural reflex to nurse; infant will instinctively move towards the breast when cheek or any vicinity around the mouth is touched or stroked. There are the sucking, Babinski, tonic, grasp and truncal incurvation reflexes that...

...primed by estrogen, progesterone, growth hormone, insulin, thyroid hormone and glucocorticoids. ← These hormones aid in the growth of the ductal system and lobules, and in the development of secretory characteristics of the alveoli. ← Ironically, high levels of estrogen and progesterone also inhibit lactation at receptor sites in the breast tissue. ← The precipitous drop in the levels of these hormones after delivery, in the presence of an elevated prolactin level, facilitates lactation. Lactation: ← Means – the secretion of milk by the breast (Sweet 1992) The Physiology of Lactation can be divided into 2 aspects: 1. Lactogenesis – the initiation of lactation 2. The lactation Reflexes Physiology of Lactation: 1. Lactogenesis / Milk Production • Following placental separation & expulsion, oestrogen & progesterone levels decreased to the point where prolactin can be released & activated • Prolactin – secreted by galactophore (milk cell) of the anterior pituitory gland stimulates milk manufacture – increased • Prolactin now caused the acini cells in the alveoli to produce milk rather than only colostrums • It functioned to act & select nutrients, water & antibodies from the blood supply around the breast to form milk & will pass through the acini cells droplets by droplets & is collected in the alveoli • To establish, maintain & increase the milk supply, it is necessary that the...

...Summary of “Brain Basics: Know Your Brain” The brain’s complexity surpasses any other organ in the human body. The brain, weighing three pounds, is protected by a bony shell and fluids. The brain is the hub for intelligence, reaction to senses, cause body movement, and control behavior. The brain is comprised of many cells. However, the most primary cell is the neuron. Sensations, movements, thoughts, emotions, and memories pass through these neurons. Messages are received and carried throughout the body by neurons. This transmitting process occurs during a synapse. During a synapse the neuron is stimulated and releases sacs which release neuro transmitters to cross and attach onto receptors of the receiving cell. The brain is divided into the forebrain, mid brain, and hindbrain. The hindbrain, which includes the brain tem, upper spinal cord, and cerebellum, coordinates vital bodily functions including respiration and heart rate. Next, the midbrain, located at the upper part of the brain stem, controls reflexes, eye movements, and various voluntary movements. The last division of the brain is the forebrain. The forebrain is the largest and most advanced part of the brain. The forebrain’s core is the cerebrum. The cerebrum holds memories, planning strategies, the ability to imagine and think, read and understand, play games, and recognize friends. The cerebrum has two hemispheres that communicate with each other through nerves that lay at the division of the hemispheres...

A major function of theory is to integrate existing facts, to organize them in such a way as to give them meaning. Theories of development take existing facts about the human organism and provide a developmental model congruent with these facts. Therefore, theory formulation serves as a basis for fact testing and vice versa. Facts...

...Homework: Little Albert. 1. Did the results of Watson and Rayner's experiment support their hypothesis? - Yes, it did. The hypothesis was that most human behaviours and emotional reactions are built up on conditioned response. The result from the conditioning Watson and Rayner subject Albert to proves this hypothesis because Albert responded to the unconditioned stimulus which was brought around by the unconditioned response that is also known as fear. After combining these specific factors, the rat became the conditioned stimulus and that elicited a conditioned response from Albert. A conditioned response in this case, is fear. 2. How did Albert's response become generalised? - Albert’s response became generalised after he was subjected to ‘conditioning’ by Watson and Rayner when he was eleven years old. They instill the fear of rats within Albert and not soon after, they present him with the same toys back when he was nine years old. Albert was afraid of the toys that look even remotely furry such as a dog, a rabbit and a Santa Claus mask. However, Albert was not afraid of the blocks that were presented to him and from there, both Watson and Rayner have concluded that Albert is afraid of furry objects and therefore they have generalised his fear based upon the results of their experiment that was conducted on him. 3. How were the principles of classical conditioning used to reduce Peter's fear of rabbits? - The principles of classical conditioning were used to create...

...ADULT LEARNING CONCEPTS Brittney Wallop INFT 101-70B LUO February 21, 2013 Summary In today’s world many people believe that adult learning is one of the most debated topics. In this report there will be three centuries of research on adult learning theories. There will also be information about how we as human beings can use games as a means of learning. Some researchers will even argue about how adult learning is a multidimensional phenomenon. Adult learning in many ways will keep several researchers motivated in their studies due to the fact that there are many ways adult learning can be viewed, studied, or compared. The adult learning theory has been researched several times by different researchers to find out what it means. The more we learn about adults and how they perceive information the better it is to create different activities. Throughout the adult learning theory there have been three changes from volume to volume but one thing that has remained constant is the transformational learning (TL). In the first chapters of adult learning theory transformational learning was more or less describing theory, but in the twenty- first century it is based on research. Researchers from the twentieth century believe that adult learning theory was surrounded around individual learner, how that learner processes information, and how learning allows the person to be more empowered and self-sufficient. In the present day “adult learning was understood as cognitive process...

...complications, regardless of the severity, can lead to morbidity and mortality among children. The airway is the most critical safety issue among children, and any adverse events can result in prolonged recovery time or even inpatient hospitalization. The anesthesia provider and PACU personnel carry a high level of vigilance to minimize airway complication among postoperative children. Anxiety is one of the most challenging aspects of pediatric surgical patients, and apart from behavioral and psychological therapy, midazolam plays an enormous role during the preoperative period. Apparently, midazolam sedation impairs the swallowing reflex under therapeutic doses.10 The cerebral centers have some degree of voluntary control over the laryngeal reflexes during conscious state, resulting in regaining control of respiration after a potential aspiration episode.11 Sedation can cause altered pharyngeal functioning and altered swallowing breathing coordination, leading to an increased risk for aspiration. Midazolam causes a decrease in the frequency of spontaneous swallowing.10 Propofol also proven to cause swallowing impairment during sedation.9 The duration of swallowing impairment related to propofol is unknown. AT surgical children are prone to airway complications during immediate postoperative period.6,8,13,15,16 Pain is an inevitable natural component of any surgery, and pain medications have a significant role during the postoperative period. Premedication with midazolam and pain medications...

...Public health is known for the health services that it provides for the community and do not think often of how these serves same about, Many of the public health pioneers are overlooked for their contributions to the health field that are important to today’s healthcare. Even though some contributions have progressed over time due to new-age technology, there is still the basic concepts from where it started. Dr. Virginia Apgar impacted the advancement of public health with the creation of the Apgar Score, also known as the newborn scoring. The Apgar Score is a quick test that is performed on a baby at 1 and 5 minutes after birth to determine how well the baby tolerated the birthing process (Zieve, 2011). Virginia Apgar was determined to be a doctor right out of high school after having to encounter the deaths of both of her brothers. One which had a chronic illness and the other experienced an early death from tuberculosis (“Changing the face”). She first put herself through school through school at Mt. Holyoke College with a BA in Zoology, she then attended Columbia University’ College of Physicians and Surgeons graduating in 1933, and later attending Johns Hopkins where she earned her Master’s Degree in Public Health ("Fond memories of," 1975). Even though individuals (such as Dr. Alan Whipple, the Chair of Surgery at Columbia University) saw the potential in Virginia, not one believed that she would be able to have a successful career due to the fact that she was a woman...
