Exaggeratory Claims of Infant Linguistic Developing Programs Raymond Mattison PSYCH 600 September 22nd, 2014 Debbra Jennings Exaggeratory Claims of Infant Linguistic Developing Programs For as long as human records show, there has been the stereotypical ‘Snake Oil Salesman’. These stereotypical parts of society thrive off of the ignorance of the masses in order to sell an item or theory that may seem as though is works but in reality doesn’t.

This is supported by the findings that show fetuses responding to sounds that they heard in utero after birth (Feldman, Jankowski Rose, 2003). While this may be viewed as a good basis to teach reading to infants, it does not provide a wide enough basis to actually comprehend complex linguistics.

One such experiment compared infant’s abilities to immediately recognize objects they have been familiarized with. The results showed that the older the child, the less time it took to establish recognition that was combined with reduced recognition time (Feldman, Jankowski Rose, 2003).

Tied in with visual recognition, object permanence is absolutely needed in reading. Object permanence is the ability of a person to form a mental model of an item. An example of this is that when you ask someone what a chair looks like, an immediate image of a small platform of an appropriate size to sit on with support legs to keep itShow MoreRelatedMy Ad For An Anti Smoking Campaign894 Words   |  4 PagesMy ad for an anti smoking campaign shows a picture of a baby smoking a cigarette as half the baby s face is decaying.
