Princeton, NJ : Films for the Humanities & Sciences, [2004]

1 DVD (52 min.)
One of a three-part series on psychological and motor skill advancements in infants from birth to 18 months. This segment explores how babies develop their consciousness and a sense of place in the world. Features experiments conducted by researchers from universities across the nation. Investigates how infants learn to grasp the rules of logic. From knowing the patterns of light and darkness that make up a parent's face to deducing the many examples of object permanence, from basic knowledge of addition and subtraction to understanding other people's intentions, the human infant's mind is always expanding.

Beginning the Journey: Child Development from Four to Six

JMU Media Resources Videotape no.8619

Bloomington, Ill. : Meridian Education Corp., c2001
1 videocassette VHS (22 min.)

Experts agree that the ways in which we develop in childhood have a strong effect on our later lives. This video depicts child development from the ages of 4 to 6, the years in which a child practices and fine-tunes motor skills and coordination, tests physical abilities, and experiences the onset of demanding physical, emotional, and social changes and challenges. Included is the first year of school, in which children must adjust to a new environment that should encourage, inspire, and direct their intellectual development. The influence of parents and caregivers is all-important during these early years in order for a child to successfully reach his or her developmental milestones.

Consuming Kids: The Commercialization of Childhood

"Consuming Kids throws desperately needed light on the practices of a relentless multi-billion dollar marketing machine that now sells kids and their parents everything from junk food and violent video games to bogus educational products and the family car. Drawing on the insights of health care professionals, children's advocates, and industry insiders, the film focuses on the explosive growth of child marketing in the wake of deregulation, showing how youth marketers have used the latest advances in psychology, anthropology, and neuroscience to transform American children into one of the most powerful and profitable consumer demographics in the world. Consuming Kids pushes back against the wholesale commercialization of childhood, raising urgent questions about the ethics of children's marketing and its impact on the health and well-being of kids."

The Developing Person
JMU Media Resources Videotape no.9229

Fountain Valley, Calif. : Coastline Community College, c2003

1 VHS ( 28 min.)
This lesson introduces students to the scientific study of human development. From John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau through Jean Piaget and Erik Erikson, scholars have considered the impact that nature and nurture have on human development. The video lesson discusses the contexts and influences in which humans develop, focusing on Urie Bronfenbrenner's ecological model of development. The lesson explores some of the major theories from the study of psychology such as psychoanalytic theory, learning theory, behaviorism, and cognitive theory. The final segment introduces the life-span perspective, which considers that development occurs throughout the life span and not just in childhood. Several theories have emerged from this perspective, including the notion of gains and losses occurring throughout a person's lifetime and the changing nature of social interaction as explained by socioemotional selectivity theory.

Public television documentary that began in 2001 with the work of Dr. Elizabeth Goodenough. Examines the disappearance of play and nature from the daily lives of children.

Explores this new environmental impact on children's mental and physical health and their development. Combines research of urban planners, health experts, educators and environmentalists to explain the realities of childhood in urban areas, suburbs, and rural areas. Includes commentary from children about their perception of play
