1. Identify the basic learning processes observed in infants and children, including habituation and classical and operant conditioning, and define conditioned and unconditioned stimuli and responses along with positive and negative reinforcement and punishment.
   
   
2. Describe how learning may account for the maintenance of sleep disturbances and how parents can use principles of learning to help eliminate sleep disturbances.
   
   
3. Identify the advantages that imitation has over other basic learning processes and describe the evidence for developmental changes in imitative capacities.
   
   
4. Distinguish between sensation and perception and the views of William James and the Gibsons concerning the earliest sensory and perceptual capacities of infants.
   
   
5. List and describe the methods used to study infant sensory and perceptual capacities, focusing on the strengths and weaknesses of habituation procedures.
   
   
6. Describe and discuss infant visuomotor skills and their development.
   
   
7. Describe the infant's visual acuity and ability to perceive patterns, forms, and objects.
   
   
8. Identify the major cues associated with depth perception and developmental changes in the ability to perceive depth.
   
   
9. Describe and discuss the infant's auditory capacities, including the ability to hear, to perceive musical patterns, and to recognize speech sounds.
   
   
10. Describe the perceptual capacities of infants and young children with respect to smell, taste, and sensitivity to pain.
    
    
11. Discuss the ability of infants to perceive pain and the arguments for and against efforts to ensure the reduction of pain in infants.
    
    
12. Discuss development of the ability to coordinate sensory and perceptual information from two different senses, such as audition and vision or vision and touch.
    
    
13. List the three major developmental changes identified in Gibson's theory of perceptual learning.
    
    
14. Describe how part-whole perception changes with development.
    
    
15. Explain how experience can affect perceptual development.
