🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Embryonic and Fetal Stages: The phases of prenatal development; the embryo (up to 8 weeks) and the fetus (from 9 weeks to birth).
  • Sensory Development: The process by which the five senses (touch, taste, smell, sight, hearing) develop, beginning in the womb and continuing after birth.
  • Reflexes: Involuntary, automatic responses present at birth, such as Moro, grasping, and sucking, which indicate neurological development.
  • Attachment: The emotional bond that develops between the infant and caregiver, crucial for psychological development.
  • Developmental Milestones: Key physical, motor, cognitive, and emotional achievements, such as head control, walking, and language acquisition, occurring at specific ages.
  • Piaget’s Sensorimotor Stage: The first stage of cognitive development in infants (birth to 2 years), characterized by learning through sensory experiences and motor actions.
