UNIT-14

 Sensory Development in the First year of life
 The initial twelve months in the life of a baby involves complete sensory developments in
which it includes seeing, smelling, hearing, touching, tasting and develop all these
developments during the initial twelve months.
 As the senses of the baby becomes increasingly refined then their different preferences
and the reactiveness starts to come out by themselves and then gradually their
personalities and nature starts to highlight.
 So basically a sensory development is a slow moving process in which the child learns to
use and coordinate the large muscles of the hands, legs, trunk along-with the smaller
muscles of the arms.
 The baby starts to experience the fresh knowledge with the help of sight, touching, smell
and hearing.

 Current scientific research relating to neurological
and brain development in early years.
 The science behind the initial level of the development of brain can specify in the form of
the investments in the early level of childhood.
 These concepts help to develop on the basis of the neuroscience and the behavioural
research which help to justify the reason that child development from the time of birth till
five years is the basic foundation for the developing and flourishing society.
 The current research signifies that brains are built over a period of time starting from the
bottom to the top and then continues till the adulthood. The genes and the experience
also plays a crucial part in and their interactive influences also plays an important part.
 Moreover, the capacity of the brain starts on decreasing according to age, the emotional,
cognitive and the social abilities are twisted together throughout the course of life.
