Thanks for this clear and informative video. I run an online guide for parents about how babies learn skilled movement. I teach parents the importance of their facial expressions and am happy to have this video for them to learn from. I was familiar with this research and now I have shared it with others. Thank you!
No, not necessarily. In the 1950s version, the mothers were on the safe side, and they were encouraging them away from the visual cliff. However, in this experiment, the mothers are on the plexiglass side, letting their emotions speak to the baby. I think that Campos' point is that nonverbal communication plays an important role in behavior of infants; while the 1950s version truly deals with death perception

So funny to watch my 1 y.o. niece in her human development stage one, she is so careful, smart and very observant. I joke and say she's nosey. She will find her way up the steps but will not come down, she looks like no way, anybody around to help me, please? 🤣
A lot of People grow up being completely mistrusting of life, and other people. Finding it particularly difficult to trust those closest to them. Thats why it's bad to abuse the trust of infants.
Nice experiment. What about the rebellious babies? Like the one's when told not to touch the fire, goes "ohh I'm definitely touching it now". Does facial expression of parent matters here while at the edge of the cliff?
Facial expression of parent matters when a baby is unsure how to proceed and needs some clues. When a baby is sure what she wants, she'll try to do it no matter what :) And if parents put too many restrictions, i.e. say "no" too often, a baby becomes less sensitive to prohibitions. "ohh I'm definitely touching it now" is typical behaviour for a three year old crisis, and here in the video they talk about younger age, 9-12 month.
My dog does the same thing 😂 I mean not at plexiglass but like. If she sees something unusual her first instinct is usually to look at me and see how I’m reacting.
Haha, how ironic. I stumbled upon this video because someone who supports the idea that humans have instincts referenced this experiment, yet the video demonstrates the opposite. The baby relies on communication with its parents and makes decisions after gathering all the information it can, rather than being controlled by a fixed action pattern.
Babies and young children learn by imitating their adults around them. This is why baby talk should not be practised. Similarly, any anti-social behaviour should not be witnessed by the young, lest they pick them up.
دور التواصل العاطفي الغير صوتي مع الطفل الصغير، حيث أن الإبتسامة هي علامة رضا تشجعه على الإقدام إكتشاف الأشياء الغامضة بالنسبة له، في حين تعبير عدم الرضا أو التخويف الذي يبدو واضحا على وجه مرافقيه يدفع به غالبا على التراجع وعدم الإقدام على خطوة مغامرته الصغيرة. أي أن التواصل العاطفي حتى ولو كان دون اللغة الصوتية مفيد لبناء شخصية الرضيع او الطفل الصغير
Hunt around for some other videos on this subject. There are ones that use real cliffs, with the experimenter ready to grab the baby when they fall. The interesting aspect is, a baby lying, sitting, crawling, walking -- these are four distinct stages, and apparently the lessons learned from one stage don't transfer to the next. A baby who knows how far they can lean without falling over will not reach for a toy too far away -- but once they're crawling, they'll cheerfully crawl off a cliff with that much give, because they haven't yet learned that it's a problem.
That's one argument. The other argument is the nurture side. Which would argue it wouldn't know about recognizing and adapting to perceived danger without environment cue influence.
@@christophergreen4616 It will be exceptionnal. the link between a baby and a mother is naturally stronger, its something that cant be immitated. Thats nature
This was likely just a snippet of a longer video. How do you know the original video that contains this snippet did not mention Gibson and Walk? With that said, I get your point. The person who posted this snippet could had put in it's caption a mention to Gibson and Walk.
Babies: *successfully avoid the "cliff" by testing it with their foot first*

Beautiful. Babies look to us for comfort and confidence.
Lol smart babies, leaning their foot off the edge so they can be 100% sure it's not actually a cliff.
so smart
But, the babies do not even have the motivation to do that without visual cues, which comes from the mother's facial reactions.
@@christophergreen4616 well of course, a baby would die without direction in the wild

Interesting implications in how parental expressions during playtime in parks etc can impact the behaviour of the child playing
Nice! emotions play a vital role indeed!
I love how they put their legs over the edge as if theres nothing there haha
We have just seen this video in our Development Psychology class!!
So funny and instructing!
same here
same in japan
Same! :) very interesting.
Same in mars
1:16 I hope she gets the Oscar on Sunday ;)
interesting video!
that face cracked me up!!
Great to see how they keep looking at the mother whilst going over the plexiglass. Just to see if anything changes I guess.
Where my psych majors at? ;)

close enough--social work major, psych minor

Present! ;)
How is it? Im thinking of majoring in this, Im a junior in high school atm
We've come a long way from the Little Albert eperiment.
anytime I read about little Albert, it breaks my heart

1:20 "ohOOH, Elmo is NOT WORTH THIS!!!"

1:17 “fear face” 😂
What about when kids are about to do something bad and look at you and still do it with a devilish laugh while staring st you?
Visual cliff is done with infants.....
It was useful for my studies
My dog does the same thing 😂 I mean not at plexiglass but like. If she sees something unusual her first instinct is usually to look at me and see how I’m reacting.
well no ... the babies didn't fall so it wasn't a negative experience at all
The mothers fear face at 1:17 scared me! LOL..Interesting video!
Lol at 01:37 looks like the baby from that movie back in the days “Baby’s Day Out” 😊..
Came across experiment in my psych dictionary, seemed interesting enough to bring me here lol
Really interesting
Therefore therefore therefore therefore

Last time I watched this was in 2010
Very cool

Or smarter, because they realize that glass is a surface that can be crossed.

I'm just wondering why they dont take a (really small) ACTUAL cliff 🤔
Everything safe of course so that the babies won't hurt

There are more around youtube. Try typing "babies glass experiment"
You may be able to find some. However, not even Eleanor and James Gibson, the researchers who created Visual Clif experiment did that.
@@Arkylie- For real? I can't imagine any IRB committee giving approval for that.
@@christophergreen4616 Hunt around; videos exist. Normally I'd track down the ones I'm thinking of, but I'm in the midst of a time crunch.
Basic instinct
That's one argument. The other argument is the nurture side. Which would argue it wouldn't know about recognizing and adapting to perceived danger without environment cue influence.
Damn imagine what the tech companies are doing to your brain now
1:25 that face😄😄
These ‘babies’ are teenagers now 😭
Crazy
The significant other...
Silvia brought me here😂
reminds me of how our Heavenly Father (God) works with His children
So God sets fake traps and baits us with toys?
Does this work with the father too ?
Babies dont care about the father
If the baby has a strong secure attachment to him, which can be done- I couldn't see how it wouldnt work with a father as well.
@@christophergreen4616 It will be exceptionnal. the link between a baby and a mother is naturally stronger, its something that cant be immitated. Thats nature
@@Voudoo1 lol not at all
@@Voudoo1 literally no one says that in the modern age of developmental psychology
Until they get cocky and get to a real cliff. Then fall. :/
1:11 nah mom thats wack theres a hole there
He saw two cliffs growing up with his lazy eye. Naturally he had to do this experiment when he grew older🤫
Not gonna lie.. As 18 y.o, I was freak out at the first time before realizing it was just an illusion😂😂
1:16 would make me think twice too
wow... way to rip off Eleanor Gibson and Richard Walk (poorly)... and leave kids with trust issues. nice one
Right? Not even a mention to the original theorists Eleanor Gibson and Richard Walk who came up with this original experiment.
Imagine thinking that a 2-minute clip represents all the details of the documentary and research report
This was likely just a snippet of a longer video. How do you know the original video that contains this snippet did not mention Gibson and Walk? With that said, I get your point. The person who posted this snippet could had put in it's caption a mention to Gibson and Walk.
In other words babies are idiots.
1:17
遊びたい歳
Thats why moms shouldnt have botox
"Great experiment"
You do realize these babies will never trust their parents again if their parents want them to plummet off a cliff.
Not to burst your bubble, but they won't be falling as there is glass.

sorry
Baby
fear face
