Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Infancy and early childhood are the periods that develops motor skills, sensory systems, and cognitive abilities in an individual. The social and psychological development of children and infants involve the development of relationships, personality, and sense of being female or male. All these processes start in infancy and continue in many respects into adulthood. Researchers have developed two common methods of studying the infant’s behavior: preferential looking and habituation.
