The Baby Human. To Think
JMU Media Resources DVD 3287
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.Thought and thinking

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.

As molecular geneticist Robert Plomin explains, DNA studies are pointing to the fact not one, or five, but hundreds of genes each contribute a small amount of the variance for any one trait."--ContainerBehavior genetics

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.Developmental psychology
