When does a baby tell the difference between mom and stranger? "Recognize life" earlier means smarter?
Updated on: 19-0-0 0:0:0

When the baby is born, it is actually in a state of "complete confusion", the baby will not know anyone, and even the concept of "others" will not be known.

In the long process of development, you will slowly establish the consciousness of "self" and "others", and you will slowly begin to know your parents, accept strangers, and so on.

The development history of the baby's "recognition", learn about the knowledge

In the first two months of life, the baby is basically only able to "know" the mother, and this "knowing" is not based on sight, but on smell.

Because the baby's vision is basically "super myopia" within two months after birth, not only can he only see twenty or thirty centimeters away, but also can only see a general outline.

Under such visual conditions, it is basically impossible for children to rely on vision to "know people".

However, the child's sense of smell is still relatively good, because the mother is often with the child, so the child still has a certain understanding of the mother.

When the baby grows to three or four months, the baby's vision has been significantly improved, but this is still a lot worse than normal vision.The baby with the best eyesight is basically equivalent to myopia above 550°.

Therefore, babies at this age can only have a certain partial cognition of their mothers who take care of themselves with their faces.

Why is it called local cognition, because the baby can only recognize the parts of the mother's body that are close to him, such as the face.

Therefore, the child's familiarity with the mother will also rise a lot compared to before, and when looking at the mother, the child may look at it for a longer period of time, because of thisIt is someone that the child is familiar with

When the child is five or six months old, he will begin to "recognize his birth", that is, he will be able to distinguish his mother from strangers more clearly.

If the mother is holding the child, then the child will generally be very emotionally stable and will not cry or make trouble.

However, if a stranger is used to hold the child, the child can accurately distinguish the mother, and when he sees someone who is not the mother holding him, he will cry"Face loss".

Therefore, when the baby is 6~0 months old, it can be regarded as having the ability to accurately distinguish between a mother and a stranger. But to say the real thing"Full recognition" should be at the time of the child's 8~0 months.

Because the baby of seven or eight months will have great changes, such as beginning to understand expressions, beginning to recognize the meaning of different emotions, beginning to have a new understanding of the world, beginning to know how to capture the eyes of others, and so on.

At this time, children can be regarded as a real and formal life, because they can subjectively distinguish between mother and stranger, rather than relying on passive reaction (face agnosia) to distinguish between mother and stranger.

The earlier the baby "recognizes", the smarter the child? You can't think of the truth

In the eyes of many people, the baby's "advanced development" is a manifestation of the child's intelligence, for example, many people think that the child "recognizes" early, then the child will be very smart.

Why do people think that?

In fact, the reason is also very understandable, we know before that the child's "recognition" is based on the child's brain development, physical development, cognitive development, etc., which will also make people think that the earlier the child "recognizes", the better the development and the stronger the cognitive ability.

In this way, it seems to make sense.

Harvard has also conducted related research, and the results have found that children who have an early cognitive response have an average of 8 points higher language IQ than other children at the age of 0.

Based on this result, it seems that the saying that "the earlier a child is born, the smarter he will be".

However, the institution that did this kind of research is not only Harvard, but also a British institution has conducted a similar study, and the results have found that the "recognition" of children is greatly affected by environmental factors, and even up to 14% of children who recognize children late have a higher level of intelligence than the average person.

As a result, it seems to negate the statement that "the earlier a child is born, the smarter he will be".

In the end, the researchers conducted a comprehensive evaluation and analysis and came to the following conclusions:The "recognition" index and intelligence prediction cannot be directly "linked"

That is to say,Whether a child recognizes birth early or late is not closely related to the level of intelligence.

"Recognition of life" has little to do with intelligence, but it is closely related to development

"Recognition" is a normal growth indicator, under normal circumstances, children tend to reach the stage of "recognition" between 1 months ~ 0 years old.

If the child does not enter the "recognition period" during this period, then parents need to pay attention to the developmental assessment, and the child is likely to have some developmental problems.

conclusion

There may be a "sticky" situation during the child's birth period, mothers should not be impatient, this is a period that every child needs to go through.
