LAVC How Babies Explore their Environment in Different Cultures and How it Changes with Age Paper

Watch the attached segment of the film “Babies” and analyze the film “Babies” from a scientific, observational lens. Please focus on the babies’ behaviors and their interactions with their environments. Below are some prompts to guide your response and organize these observations, which should be no more than one page (1′ margins, 11pt Times New Roman, single spaced). Please pick one or two of the following questions to respond to: 

-What kinds of information are the babies paying attention to and have access to?

-How do babies explore their environment differently in different cultures? In what ways does that change with age?

-How is the caregiving structure and social environment different for these babies and what are the effects of this on their behavior?

-What is most similar across cultures about infant behavior and most different between cultures about the babies’ lives?

-Pick one type of infant behavior for an in-depth comparison across the different families? (e.g., eating, playing, sleeping)
