    Babies: *successfully avoid the "cliff" by testing it with their foot first*

    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!

      But, the babies do not even have the motivation to do that without visual cues, which comes from the mother's facial reactions.

    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

    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?

    • @_Julia.K_
      @_Julia.K_ ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

    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.

      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.
