In this video I introduce some terms for understanding infant development, particularly for motor and perceptual skills. Infants are born with a number of reflexes (such as the rooting reflex and sucking reflex) which are gradually replaced with voluntary control as motor skills improve. Developmental milestones for motor skills generally follow the cephalocaudal rule (head-to-tail) and the proximodistal rule (near-to-far). Techniques for investigating the perceptual development include preferential looking and habituation, which allow us to make inferences about infants' perceptual skills.
