*This very long video is explains how children develop over time.

* In the 1800 a young boy was found and they soon discovered that he had lived in the wild his entire life. He was named Victor and was taught how to become a civilized man. At first the teachings worked, however, after five years nothing changed and when he died at the age of forty he was still unable to speak or behave like other civilized human beings.

*A few minutes after a baby is born its exes will turn to the direction of a voice and their head will turn toward the direction of a face. They will try to move their hands towards something they can touch.

*Experiment shows that babies are very much aware of what is going on around them and respond to stimulus. When something grabs their attention they react my looking at it for a longer time. As soon as they get bored, they look away from the object.

*another experiment showed that a two year old couldn’t find a snoopy that was hidden in a big room although it was previously shown to her in a small model room. However, a three year old was able to find snoopy in the big room after shown to her where it was hidden in the model room.

*I didn’t know that babies are basically blind when they are born with 20/500 vision. This is because they don’t have enough cone cells in their retinas and they don’t have enough connections among the neurons and visual cortex to process visual information fully.

*I didn’t know that babies like contours objects over plain ones, complex over simple ones and whole faces rather than pieces of faces.

* I didn’t realize that children actually have to think so much more than we do because they have so much more that they have to figure out.
