You say "where's Daddy?" and the baby reaches for Daddy. For example, you say toes, and the baby reaches for its toes. This will allow the child to process one thing. We will deal primarily with seeing and hearing in this chapter on sequential processing.Īfter the chronological age of one year old, the neurological processing skills of the child should be one also. There are 5 input senses of seeing, hearing, touching, smelling and tasting that feed input information to the brain. Sequential processing is the brains ability to receive process, store, retrieve and utilize information in the specific order received by the senses.įor instance if you speak a specific order of items, or show them visually in order to your child, we are interested in documenting how many items they can repeat back in the same sequence given. Sequential processing is an integral part of neurological development and very easy to determine. Using sequential processing to document neurological ageįor the model of development in this article, one method of documenting developmental age is sequential processing skills. (This is not done by legal standards and enforcement of laws but rather by the acquiescing parent who allows this to happen when they allow "experts" place the child where the expert deems the child belongs.) However, this advanced child would not be placed in the second grade where it belongs academically, but placed in chronological age classes! This will in turn limit the neurological stimulation of this child and force it to conform to "normal" standards. A five year old could be neurologically functioning at the level of a second grader and the experts would call this a "bright" or gifted child. If a child is nine years old and in the second grade, then experts would say that this child is behind academically. The third way of measuring development that we will concern ourselves with here is academic age.įor instance, a child at the chronological age of seven should be age appropriately in the second grade and developmentally functioning at certain neurological levels to be "normal" or average. Conversely, if the baby is 12 weeks of age but is just now developing these milestones, that baby is still at 6 weeks of age developmentally. However, if the same baby develops these milestones at four weeks of life, that baby is at 6 weeks developmentally in those areas even though it is only 4 weeks away from birth. If this is true, then the baby is developmentally at 6 weeks of age. For instance, by 6 weeks of age the baby should have reasonable head control and a positive Babinski reflex. Neurological age, or developmental age, would be determined by the average age a human achieves certain milestones of development. Experts now attach certain developmental milestones to that chronological age. This now becomes the chronological age of the baby. To say that a baby is 6 weeks of age means that the baby has survived 6 weeks of life. For instances, if your Poisson process is $N_t(\lambda) = N_t$, with $\mathbf-N_s$ have the same distribution, since both random variables are increments of the process over intervals of length $r$.Chronological age is the days, weeks, months, and finally years that a human lives. Poisson processes and renewal processes are not stationary, but their increments over time intervals of fixed lengths are. Roughly speaking, the point process is like a renewal process, except the jumps need not be of size 1.Īs for stationarity, you need to be a bit more careful phrasing it. Point processes are a further generalization. The waiting time for each subsequent jump is independent of the evolution of the process up to the time and position of the last jump, i.e., the process starts anew from the last position. Renewal processes start at 0, jump by 1 after waiting a random length of time $T$. Renewal processes are a class of stochastic processes (including the Poisson process), that have all the properties of the Poisson process, except the condition that the inter-jump-distribution is Exponential.
