Download or read book Birth Timing Effects on the Qualities of the Mother-infant Relationship and Infant Behavior and Physiology in Rhesus Monkeys (Macaca Mulatta) written by Jessica Jean Vandeleest and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current dissertation explores the influence of birth timing, a relative measure of the timing of births within a season, on the mother-infant relationship and infant behavior and physiology across the first year of life. This research was based on the hypothesis that mothers that give birth early in the birth season have a longer period of time in which to wean their infants than do mothers that give birth late in the season. Due to these different constraints on maternal time and resources I predicted that the relationships between early born infants and their mothers, and late born infants and their mothers would differ in important ways, and that these differences would have consequences for infant development. In the first study I observed patterns of mother-infant interactions and infant behavior in 33 rhesus monkeys during weaning and maternal breeding to a) determine if birth timing predicted changes to the mother-infant relationship and infant behavior from weaning through maternal breeding, and b) identify predictors of infant behavior during a period of acute challenge, maternal breeding. The second study extended those findings to examine if variation in the mother-infant relationship due to birth timing was associated with infant behavior and physiology during weaning in 40 rhesus monkey infants. The final study examined the role of temperature in the association between birth timing and HPA axis activity and regulation in 338 3-4 month old rhesus monkeys. Results from the first study suggest that birth timing influences the patterns of mother-infant interactions, and that infant social engagement and affect expression may be influenced by different factors. Results from the second study indicate that the influence of birth timing on the mother-infant relationship may have consequences for infant coping and physiology. Finally, results from the third study suggest that birth timing may be a complex measure that reflects multiple aspects of the early environment. Altogether this program of research supports my hypothesis that, in seasonally breeding species like the rhesus monkey, birth timing may have important influences on the mother-infant relationship and infant development.

Download or read book Effects of Early Life Experience on Infant Rhesus Macaque Cognition and Stress Physiology written by and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Individuals exhibit adaptive phenotypic plasticity, in which their behavioral, physiological and cognitive responses are shaped by their environment within the bounds of what is permitted given their genetic makeup. This plasticity is hypothesized to tune an individual to their environment, enabling them to be as successful as possible within the constraints of their current, and predicted future, local context. However, the mechanisms regulating this attunement and the specific consequences, especially in the cognitive realm, have not yet been investigated in a systematic, longitudinal and natural manner. In this dissertation, I examine the effects of variation in early life environment, as assessed via mother-infant interactions and maternal regulation of the infant social environment, on the development of cognition, behavior and physiology in free-ranging infant rhesus macaques living on Cayo Santiago, Puerto Rico. Chapter 2 demonstrates that infant social cognition is shaped by the early life environment, potentially via maternal regulation of infant exposure to social risk, and that attentional bias to social threat appears within the first year of life but is not present at birth. Chapter 3 examines infant responses to extreme stress, and finds that behavioral and cognitive stress-reactivity does not correspond to reactivity of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis. However, Chapter 4 shows activation of the HPA axis in response to a more natural stressor, weaning conflict and maternal rejection from nursing, demonstrating that mothers can induce a stress response in their infants which might serve to tune their infant's long-term HPA axis activity to local resource availability. Chapter 5 investigates one possible source of variation in mother-offspring interactions, testing the hypothesis that maternal body condition can predict the timing and intensity of parent-offspring conflict, thus providing a proximate explanation for inter-individual variation in maternal behavior. Together, these studies investigate the concept of adaptive phenotypic plasticity and provide a comprehensive look at the where variation in early life experience comes from and the behavioral, physiological, and cognitive consequences of this variation. The relationships between these phenotypic components and the selection, development, and adoption of a life-history strategy are discussed with an eye to future studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How we raise young children is one of today's most highly personalized and sharply politicized issues, in part because each of us can claim some level of "expertise." The debate has intensified as discoveries about our development-in the womb and in the first months and years-have reached the popular media. How can we use our burgeoning knowledge to assure the well-being of all young children, for their own sake as well as for the sake of our nation? Drawing from new findings, this book presents important conclusions about nature-versus-nurture, the impact of being born into a working family, the effect of politics on programs for children, the costs and benefits of intervention, and other issues. The committee issues a series of challenges to decision makers regarding the quality of child care, issues of racial and ethnic diversity, the integration of children's cognitive and emotional development, and more. Authoritative yet accessible, From Neurons to Neighborhoods presents the evidence about "brain wiring" and how kids learn to speak, think, and regulate their behavior. It examines the effect of the climate-family, child care, community-within which the child grows.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The underlying theme uniting the papers of this volume is the quest for a further understanding of human behavior. The similarities between the behaviors of other primates and humans have captivated us even before a science arose. But what is the justification for making such comparisons? Comparisons, like classifications, can be made on any basis whatever. The aim in making any scientific comparison is the same as doing a classification. That is, one attempts to make the comparison on a "natural" basis. Natural, in this case, means that the comparison reflects processes that occur in nature. The fundamental paradigm for making natural comparisons in biology is based on evolutionary theory. The evolutionary paradigm is inherently one of comparisons between and within species. Conversely, it is impossible to begin to make cross species comparisons without making, implicitly at least, evolutionary arguments. But evolution is a complex construct of theories (Lewis, 1980), and comparisons can be made out of different theoretical bases. F or the sake of this discussion we can combine varieties of sub-theories into two categories: those having to do with descent with modification, and those concerned with the mechanics of evolutionary change--notably natural selection.

Book excerpt: First published in 1982. Since the emergence of developmental psychology early this century, theorists and researchers have emphasized the family’s role in shaping the child’s emergent social style, personality, and cognitive competence. In so doing, however, psychologists have implicitly adopted a fairly idiosyncratic definition of the family— one that focuses almost exclusively on parents and mostly on mothers. The realization that most families contain two parents and at least two children has occurred slowly, and has brought with it recognition that children develop in the context of a diverse network of social relationships within which each person may affect every other both directly (through their interactions) and indirectly (i.e., through A ’s effect on B, who in turn influences C). The family is such a social network, itself embedded in a broader network of relations with neighbors, relatives, and social institutions. Within the family, relationships among siblings have received little attention until fairly recently. In this volume, the goal is to review the existing empirical and theoretical literature concerning the nature and importance of sibling relationships.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Surgeon General's report returns to the topic of the health effects of involuntary exposure to tobacco smoke. The last comprehensive review of this evidence by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) was in the 1986 Surgeon General's report, The Health Consequences of Involuntary Smoking, published 20 years ago this year. This new report updates the evidence of the harmful effects of involuntary exposure to tobacco smoke. This large body of research findings is captured in an accompanying dynamic database that profiles key epidemiologic findings, and allows the evidence on health effects of exposure to tobacco smoke to be synthesized and updated (following the format of the 2004 report, The Health Consequences of Smoking). The database enables users to explore the data and studies supporting the conclusions in the report. The database is available on the Web site of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at http://www.cdc.gov/tobacco.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of play in human development has long been the subject of controversy. Despite being championed by many of the foremost scholars of the twentieth century, play has been dogged by underrepresentation and marginalization in literature across the scientific disciplines. The Oxford Handbook of the Development of Play marks the first attempt to examine the development of children's play through a rigorous and multidisciplinary approach. Comprising chapters from the foremost scholars in psychology, anthropology, and evolutionary biology, this handbook resets the landscape of developmental science and makes a compelling case for the benefits of play. Edited by respected play researcher Anthony D. Pellegrini, The Oxford Handbook of the Development of Play is both a scientific accomplishment and a shot across the bow for parents, educators, and policymakers regarding the importance of children's play in both development and learning.

Download or read book Macachiavellian Intelligence written by Dario Maestripieri and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judged by population size and distribution, homo sapiens are clearly the most successful primates. A close second, however, would be rhesus macaques, who have adapted to—and thrived in—such diverse environments as mountain forests, dry grasslands, and urban sprawl. Scientists have spent countless hours studying these opportunistic monkeys, but rhesus macaques have long been overshadowed in the public eye by the great apes, who, because of their greater intelligence, are naturally assumed to have more to teach us, both about other primates and about humans as well. Dario Maestripieri thinks it is high time we shelve that misperception, and with Macachiavellian Intelligence he gives rhesus macaques their rightful turn in the spotlight. The product of more than twenty years studying these fascinating creatures, Macachiavellian Intelligence caricatures a society that is as much human as monkey, with hierarchies and power struggles that would impress Machiavelli himself. High-status macaques, for instance, maintain their rank through deft uses of violence and manipulation, while altruism is almost unknown and relationships are perpetually subject to the cruel laws of the market. Throughout this eye-opening account, Maestripieri weds his thorough knowledge of macaque behavior to his abiding fascination with human society and motivations. The result is a book unlike any other, one that draws on economics as much as evolutionary biology, politics as much as primatology. Rife with unexpected connections and peppered with fascinating anecdotes, Macachiavellian Intelligence has as much to teach us about humans as it does about macaques, presenting a wry, rational, and wholly surprising view of our humanity as seen through the monkey in the mirror.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

Download or read book Twins written by Alessandra Piontelli and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though much has been written about twins, very little research has been done into their everyday lives, both postnatal and prenatal. In this fascinating new study Alessandra Piontelli follows the development and behaviour of thirty pairs of twins from their early life in the womb through to their third year of childhood. Drawing on detailed ultrasound observations and work with mothers and families in clinical and natural settings, the text traces the subtle ways in which various types of twins live, behave and interact with their unequally shared and unique pre- and postnatal environments. Piontelli shows how from early on distinctive and personal traits can be seen in the behaviour of each member of a twin couple and how these traits continue and strengthen well beyond birth. The book describes not only the behaviour of the twins, but the impact they have on the lives of their family and carers - what family members say, how they react and how the family changes. Scientifically based, but warmly human in content, this unique longitudinal study offers new insight for professionals working with mothers and families of twins and for researchers in human development across a range of disciplines.
