The movie ‘Babies’ by Thomas Balmès takes us on a trip around the world to observe four newborn babies for the first two years of their lives. The movie looks at the relationship infants have with their parents and compares their development through a series of vignettes when each child accomplishes certain milestones. Throughout this paper I will discuss two theories that I felt were evident in the movie ‘Babies’. John Piaget’s theory of cognitive development and Bowlby’s evolutionary theory...

The Apgar score is a procedure that obtains the status of the new-born baby directly after being born, as well as the infant’s reaction to resuscitation if necessary. This method should not be associated with causing, or being a consequence of, asphyxia. This means that it doesn’t forsee neonatal mortality or neurological development, and should not be used for that motive. An Apgar score that is obtained during resuscitation is not comparable to a score obtained from a naturally breathing...

According to Lind (2017), the cognitive development theory does not only pay special attention to the various stages of mental development but pays close consideration to the various methods...

We argue that there is a general consensus on these cognitive characteristics as a positive effect....

Cognitive function refers to the multiple mental abilities a person may develop and keep in their lifetime, these skills include learning, thinking, processing motor movement, reasoning, and decision making.

Cognitive development is the process of the mind developing, which enables us to reason, know and understand. We also learn how to problem-solve, form our imagination and develop creative skills. Our concentration becomes stronger and we begin to remember things and retain those memories as our cognitive development strengthens, which occurs as we age. Just as early as one month, a baby’s cognitive development is already beginning. Touch, sound, taste, smell and sight are the key areas in which a...
