Has anyone seen the “The Baby Human”?
It’s a series about child development. We just got the first series on netflix and it is seriously blowing my mind. Also, it has cute babies doing low-impact “experiments”.
The episode we just watched talks about how in order to develop peripheral vision babies must first be able to control their own movement. There’s a whole series of experiments that demonstrate this, including one in which they give babies a little car to control using a joy stick!
It also discusses when and how babies develop the ability to judge depth and height and how that affects their learning to walk. It’s amazing.
Anyway, has anyone seen it? Any thoughts? Also, has anyone ever had their baby participate in a research study (legit research, not product development?) I signed my son up for some at the local university, but we haven’t been called yet. It looks like fun.
I’ve seen bits and pieces of it. It came on Discovery Health or something, I think.
I remember one experiment where they had babies crawling out over a “visual cliff” – there was plexi-glass over a drop off, and the babies wouldn’t crawl over the “edge.” There was another one with babies crawling down inclines and cruising across a bar towards a gap. I thought it was really interesting, especially because my daughter was just getting to those stages when I saw it.
I would sign my kids up for a study like that. I think it’s be neat to see what they can do and how their minds figure things out.
