Critique of Infant Determinism

Criticism of Infant 's Decision The early experience can only decide future development. In his book, Chapter 2, The Three Temptations (1998), Kagan questioned the fact that Kagan unduly highlights the private life of the first two years. There is no doubt about its importance, but we believe that it is more important for human development to build experience and perception and to compare myself with others in the fifth or sixth year of life. His argument is reasonable, as infant determinism overestimates the importance of the past two years throughout human life.

The next article analyzes and reviews three learning and development theories and their applications for educating children in Aotearoa infants and young children.

Mary Ainsworth (Ainsworth and Bell, 1970) designed a test to judge the quality of attachment to a mother of a 1 year old baby. In this test called "unfamiliar situation", a stranger observes the reaction of the baby when the baby enters the room playing with the mother. Then my mother leaves, letting a child alone with a stranger, and my mother in a short time. Based on this experiment, children can be classified as "safely attached" or "not securely attached". When the mother leaves, children safely attached show some pain, but they are ready to talk to strangers. When their mothers return, they greet eagerly to her and if they feel uneasy, she can comfort them. Children who are not safe will respond in various ways, such as not reacting to the mother, refusing when returning home, feeling a terrible pain to leaving. Therefore, we refuse to contact with strangers.
