The Science of Early Learning

Your baby is born with most of the brain cells she will ever have, but during her first 12 months in the world, her brain will become increasingly complex. By the time she reaches the age of two, her brain will already be 75 percent of its adult weight. By the age of three, it will have reached 90 percent of its adult weight.

Almost 50 percent of the brain cells your baby is born with will wither and die during the first few years of life. This process, known as neural pruning, organizes the brain and makes it more efficient. The brain learns through experience. Events in your baby's life trigger electrical impulses to the brain, establishing neural pathways. The more a pathway is used, the more established it becomes, making it less susceptible to pruning. Just like a muscle, the brain works on the principle of "use it or lose it."

How your baby's brain develops

Humans are the only animals whose brains triple in size during the first two years of life. If it were any larger at birth, a baby's head would not fit through its mother's pelvis. Any smaller, and the baby's survival would be in jeopardy. So how does the brain grow to 75 percent of its adult size by the age of two, and 90 percent by the age of three?

* When your baby is born his brain weighs about 350 g (12 oz); by his first birthday it weighs 1 kg (2.2 lb).

* At birth, the brain already has some 200 billion neurons (nerve cells) - about the same number as it will have in adulthood.

* Each neuron responds to stimulation by growing a network of dendrites (branches) and synapses (connections) between itself and its neighbours.

* Each neuron ends up with dendrites leading to an average of 15,000 synapses.

* Dendrite formation becomes more complex over time, with third- and fourth-tier branches appearing by 6 months of age.

* The more stimulation the brain receives, the more sophisticated its dendritic networks become.

* The frontal lobe (the part of the brain that deals with emotions) becomes highly metabolically active from 6 months of age. By 18 months the neural foundations of your baby's emotional intelligence are laid.

* Between 2 and 4 months of age, the number of synapses in your baby's visual cortex increases tenfold to 20,000 per neuron.

* By 12 months of age, neurons that distinguish native language have found their permanent position in the brain.

* At 18 months the language center of the brain experiences a massive synaptic spurt, producing an explosion in grammar.

What does this mean for your baby?

During the first eight years of life, and in particular the first three, there are a number of critical windows for acquiring specific types of intelligence. Once these windows have closed, learning is much more difficult, if not impossible. Babies are particularly open to learning during their first year, as outside of the brainstem (which controls critical life-sustaining processes), very few neural pathways have been formed.

Your baby's emotions

The part of the brain responsible for processing emotions is one of the first to develop after birth. For the first few weeks, your baby's emotional state will be fairly black-and-white - she'll either be happy or unhappy. By 3 months, experience will have made her emotions more nuanced. As the frontal lobe of her brain grows from 6 months, your baby will begin to show a variety of emotional and social responses.

* Expression: Your baby will begin to make sense of his feelings in relation to his surroundings. Instead of simply crying, he may find another way to get your attention and so communicate his feelings.

* Inhibition: Your baby will start to be able to think twice about her behaviour. For example, she may come to the realization that there is no point in crying every time you put her down to sleep.

* Stranger anxiety: Towards the end of the first year your baby may begin to show a fear of strangers. As the frontal lobe of the brain continues to develop, your baby's experiences through the anxiety stage influence his social abilities in later life, helping to determine whether he is a shy or outgoing person. Frequent and positive social interactions cause synapses to fire in ways that help to hardwire the brain's emotional and social intelligence.

Your baby's senses

During the first 12 months, your baby grows from being aware only of herself, to being able to appreciate and enjoy her surroundings. His five senses also develop rapidly.

* Hearing: At birth your baby will recognize his mother's voice - and possibly his father's. He will be startled by loud noises. By 3 months he'll respond to familiar voices even if he can't see the person speaking. By 6 months he'll recognize the vowel sounds, tone, pitch and lilt of his native language.

* Sight: At birth your baby can focus on objects 15-20 cm (6-8 in) away. At this age, the retina's rods (cells responsible for detecting black and white) are more developed than its cones (cells responsible for detecting color). Between 2 and 4 months your baby's vision improves a great deal, enabling her to follow moving objects and look towards sounds. She can also distinguish color, as her retinal cones have been activated. By 5 months she can judge how far away things are. At 8 months the number of synapses in the visual cortex of her brain peaks.

* Taste: Your baby can tell many different flavour from the moment he is born, but he will only be interested in sweet and umami tastes initially, which help to relax him, as they are the component tastes of breast milk. Sour tastes will cause your newborn baby to purse his lips, while bitter tastes will upset him. Although he can taste salt, he neither likes nor dislikes it, and will not show a reaction.

* Smell: Your newborn can discriminate between many different smells: infants as young as 6 days old have been shown to recognize their mother's breast odor. However, your baby cannot tell if an odour is good or bad, even through the first year of life. This ability does not develop until three years of age.

* Touch: Your baby's sense of touch develops from the top down, with the strongest sense of touch in her mouth - one of the reasons that babies explore new objects by putting them in their mouth. Your newborn can already distinguish different shapes and textures using her tongue. When using her hands however, it is not until 10 weeks that she can identify shapes, and 6 months that she can distinguish texture.

Your baby's language skills

Language acquisition is an innate skill - babies' brains are programmed to learn language. The critical window for speech development is from birth to age three. Here are some milestones to look out for:

* By his first birthday your baby can produce most of the vowel sounds of English, and about half of the consonants.

* Between 12 and 18 months, your baby slowly accrues new vocabulary items.

* At around 18 months, your baby's vocabulary hits a critical mass and she acquires one new word every day or two.

* By the time he's six, your baby understands around 13,000 words.

If intelligence is defined as the ability to learn, then babies are born geniuses. Babies' brains are so plastic (adaptable) that learning is effortless for them. By providing positive mental stimulation to your baby, you can help strengthen the neural pathways that lay the foundation for his cognitive, emotional and social intelligence into adolescence and even adulthood.

Wireless Broadband Is There a Difference Between a Wi-Fi Booster and a Wi-Fi Repeater ?

A Wi-Fi booster and a Wi-Fi repeater are two names for the same device. Home Wi-Fi wireless broadband networks are becoming increasingly common, and even novice homeowners can easily set up their own wireless network. However, many times after setting up their wireless network, homeowners find out they have blind spots in their wireless reception. If the Wi-Fi router is located at one end of a house, its signal may not reach the other end of the house. Relocating the Wi-Fi router might alleviate the problem, but in many cases the router has to be left where it was initially installed. In those cases, a Wi-Fi repeater may be the solution to the problem.

A Wi-Fi repeater, or Wi-Fi booster if you prefer that name, is a device that receives the signal from your Wi-Fi router and then retransmits it. If your Wi-Fi router is located at one end of your house, you could install a Wi-Fi repeater at the other end of your house, but just inside the maximum range of your Wi-Fi router’s wireless signal. The Wi-Fi repeater would receive your router’s signal and retransmit it to any wireless devices located at its end of the house. When a wireless device at that end of the house wants to send information to the Internet, it transmits the data to the Wi-Fi repeater. The repeater in turn retransmits the data to the Wi-Fi router. Using a Wi-Fi repeater, home users can effectively double the range of their wireless network.

At one time, Wi-Fi repeaters were difficult to set up by inexperienced home users. Fortunately, times have changed. Many of the newer Wi-Fi repeaters have a button that you can push to make the Wi-Fi repeater automatically link itself to your Wi-Fi router. If all goes well, you have just doubled the size of your wireless network with the simple push of a button.

If you are considering purchasing a Wi-Fi repeater, you need to do a little online research. You should go to the manufacturer’s website and make sure they have good customer support. They should at least have a phone number you can call, and the better companies will have a live chat capability. Many companies also have online forums where users can ask questions and get answers from other users.

Wi-Fi repeaters do have their drawbacks. Because the Wi-Fi repeater is acting as a proxy between your device and your home’s Wi-Fi router, your connection speed and response time may suffer. On the other hand, unless you are doing heavy online first person shooter gaming, you may never notice the difference.

So if you have rooms in your home where your smartphone or laptop is having trouble connecting with your Wi-Fi wireless network, you do have an option to fix the problem. By purchasing and installing a Wi-Fi repeater, you can make sure every room in your home is part of your wireless network. And that will make whoever stays in that bedroom at the far end of the house a whole lot happier.

You may be exploring an online nutrition degree because you want:

Convenience:

Your life is busy and you don’t want to lose time commuting. Perhaps you don’t live within a reasonable distance of a nutrition school. For this reason, an online nutrition degree starts to make a lot sense.

Flexibility:

You want to schedule your classes instead of your classes scheduling you.

Affordability:

An online nutrition degree can provide extensive training and education affordably. Because they’re virtual, they don’t carry the financial burden of attending on site institutions.

These are all worthy reasons why you might want to pursue an online nutrition degree.

However, it’s probable that even more important to you than convenience and flexibility, is a program that has a powerful curriculum. So much of what’s available is the same content, repeated over and over again in different programs. For this reason, it’s wise to look for depth of content in your online nutrition degree.

This means:

Quality:

Leading edge ideas in the field of nutrition must guide your education. You want a comprehensive program that supports you to step firmly into your health and wellness career.

Breadth of information:

You might already know that there are many theories of nutrition ,and you would like a program that has a global perspective about nutrition. Consider the kind of online nutrition program that talks about food, but that goes beyond the food into what deeply nourishes people.

There are a few other qualities to be on the lookout for when it comes to finding the right online nutrition training.

Community:

Connecting with other students all over the world is a powerful asset of online education. Sharing your experience and newfound insights in online forums will deepen your learning, and certainly makes the process more enjoyable.

Support:

Superior Online nutrition degrees give you the support you need to excel. You may need support with curriculum, but you may also need support for the nitty-gritty tech details of online learning. Either way, your online nutrition degree can support you so that you can completely dive into your passion for health.

Accountability:

There is a common concern that an online nutrition degree leaves you to your own devices, and doesn’t keep you on track or accountable with your work. But that shouldn’t be the case. A solid online nutrition degree will provide you with clear goals and timelines.

It may surprise you that you can find real community, support and accountability when it comes to an online nutrition degree, but it’s absolutely possible and highly desirable.

Making a final decision on what online nutrition degree is right for you requires more than an Internet search. It requires a conversation to see if the school you’ve chosen feels like a fit for you. You need to know that there are people on the other end of the recordings and forums that you can relate to. You want to have confidence that your online nutrition degree will support and propel you forward into a successful nutrition career.
