چکیده
The development of attention in the infant can be characterized by changes in overall arousal (attentiveness) and by changes in attention’s effect on specific cognitive processes (e.g., stimulus orienting; spatial selection; recognition memory). These attention systems can be identified using behavioral and psychophysiological methods. The development of infant attention is thought to be closely related to changes in the neural systems underlying attention control. The recent application of cortical source analysis of event-related potentials (ERP) and structural MRI has led to the identification of some of these the neural systems.

Infant joint attention, neural networks and social cognition
Neural network models of attention can provide a unifying approach to the study of human cognitive and emotional development (Posner & Rothbart, 2007). In this paper we argue that a neural network approach to the infant development of joint attention can inform our understanding of the nature of human social learning, symbolic thought process and social cognition. At its most basic, joint atten...
متن کاملMaternal behavior predicts infant neurophysiological and behavioral attention processes in the first year.
We apply a biopsychosocial conceptualization to attention development in the 1st year and examine the role of neurophysiological and social processes on the development of early attention processes. We tested whether maternal behavior measured during 2 mother-child interaction tasks when infants (N = 388) were 5 months predicted infant medial frontal (F3/F4) EEG power and observed attention beh...
متن کاملSpatial Analysis of Rescue and Relief Bases in Alborz Province to Reduce Hazards
INTRODUCTION: The occurrence of a huge number of road accidents in Iran, makes it necessary to pay more attention than before to the relief and rescue sector, the correct locating of road relief and rescue bases and its development and equipment, especially in Alborz province and topological conditions, geographical diversity and its tourism characteristics. Hence, in this research, to reduce t...
متن کاملCHAPTER 1 Neural Bases of Cognitive Development
The goal of this chapter is to review what is known about the neural bases of cognitive development. We begin by discussing why developmental psychologists might be interested in the neural bases of behavior (with particular reference to cognitive development). Having established the value of viewing child development through the lens of the developmental neurosciences, we provide an overview o...
متن کاملImpact of Human Development Index on Mortality Rates in Iran
Background and Objectives: Human Development Index (HDI) is an important indicator of a country’s development. On the other hand, mortality indicators are the most important indicators of the health of a society. This study aimed to examine the association between HDI and maternal, neonatal, infant, and under-five mortality rates in Iran between 2005 and 2016. Methods: This longitudinal stu...
