31. IMITATION AND ITS ROLE IN CHILD DEVELOPMENT

Imitation is of great importance for the formation of personality, the formation of intellectual abilities and social adaptation of the child.

L. S. Vygotsky spoke about his role in the formation of basic human qualities and properties, in mastering all types of activity.

At each stage of his development, the child is faced with new tasks, a new social situation, in which imitation helps him navigate. When imitating adults, he develops new forms of behavior.

Already in the period of the 1st year of life, the child can repeat some movements after adults: shake his head, show his tongue, clap his hands, etc. The child has mimic movements.

In the initial period of speech formation, the child develops pre-speech vocalizations. He can imitate different intonation and rhythm of the heard speech of an adult. The child imitates the facial expressions of the adult and his gestures.

After the 6th month, the child's imitation becomes more active, new imitation movements appear. This period can be called the period of true imitation.

The child's communication means of communication increase, he begins to manipulate objects more. The imitative movements of the child form his image of the object. The more often an adult makes certain movements, calls them, encourages the child to imitate them, the faster the child will begin to imitate them.

From the 2nd year of life, the child becomes more active, the number of his imitative movements increases.

An adult becomes an example for him, looking at which, the child begins to actively interact with objects: he imitates a conversation on the phone, flips through a book, pretending to read it, etc. This causes him to form a new type of activity - an object game.

The next stage of imitation is the actions of the child, arranged in a certain sequence. For example, in a game with a doll, he, imitating the actions of an adult, feeds her, collects her for a walk, puts her to bed, etc.

At 3 years old, the child's imitation becomes more and more similar to the behavior of adults.

In the preschool period, imitation becomes deeper and covers large aspects of life. The child repeats not only actions with objects, but also tries to reflect the characteristics of the behavior and communication of adults.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

Silkworm Secrets 04.06.2010

Chinese emperors have guarded the secrets of silk making for thousands of years. Anyone who tried to take silkworms or their testicles out of the country was immediately executed. However, sericulture gradually spread to Japan, Korea and some other countries.

Now China offers everyone the secrets of the silkworm in an article about its genome published on the Internet. Chinese geneticists compared the genomes of many local silkworm breeds from different parts of China and other countries, and also compared their DNA with that of wild relatives of this insect.

The results of the study showed that domestication occurred relatively quickly. But it remains unclear exactly where, in which region of China, people lived, who 5000 years ago first had the idea to collect a lot of caterpillars, keep them, feed them with fresh mulberry leaves, and then unwind the cocoons of the pupated caterpillars, spin the resulting threads and make magnificent fabrics from them. .

Geneticists have identified 354 genes in the domesticated silkworm that have changed under the influence of artificial selection. The caterpillars became more voracious, the production of silk thread increased. The caterpillars have ceased to curl up into a ring when touched, they tolerate crowding well when kept. At the same time, butterflies have lost the ability to fly and have forgotten how to hide from birds - after all, they are guarded by a person.
