5 Ability to Exceed Great Adult Baby

5 Ability to Exceed Great Adult Baby

Do not underestimate the ability of a baby. If seen by naked eyes, the baby looks helpless and must always be protected. But the baby actually has an impressive ability. Some of these capabilities even more powerful than that of adults.
As reported by Live Science, Thursday (06/07/2012), here are 5 skills possessed surprising that the newborn.


A. Sharp instinctsNewborns can perform a variety of automatic reflexes needed in its development. One is the 'diving reflex' or also known as bradycardic response. This response is also owned by seals and other aquatic animals. Instinct is supposed to be the remnants of the evolution of human ancestors who evolved from the sea.
An example is like this: Newborn to 6-month-old whose head is submerged in water will hold your breath naturally. At the same time, the heart beats more slowly to conserve oxygen and blood circulation more towards the most vital organ, the heart and brain. Response in infants under water for much longer than adults have.
2. Quick to learnSomething that happened almost every baby will be permanently remembered by forming synapses or connections between brain cells. At 3-year-old baby, was formed about 1,000 trillion connections in the brain or 2 times more than adults have. But since the age of 11, the brains of children and reduce the connection is considered excessive.
3. Better understanding of quantum mechanicsOr the strange laws of quantum mechanics that govern the movement of elementary particles is very confusing. Experience of the reality that everyday makes people difficult to understand quantum mechanics.
"However, newborns are not familiar with any reality, and thus is the only living things that can intuitively understand quantum mechanics," says Seth Lloyd, a quantum computing expert at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Until the age of 3 months or more, the baby does not have the understanding that objects can only be in one place at one time. Before that age, experiments and games like 'peekaboo' shows that babies think that hidden objects can be anywhere. This is an indication of the baby's intuitive understanding of quantum mechanics.
4. Recognize rhythmAll babies are born to have the sensation to feel the rhythm. This is demonstrated by studies in 2009 in which a team of researchers in Europe to play the drums rhythmically to infants aged 2-3 days. Occasional pounding rhythm, then a few times to play rhythm and disturbing at a time to stop.
Electrodes are attached to the baby's scalp revealed that babies' brains respond to this rhythm. This indicates that the expectations for the hearing impaired and can feel the rhythm in sharp rhythms.
The researchers argue, perhaps the mother's heartbeat rhythm taught to the baby while in the womb. The scientists then thought that the baby can learn the meaning of the words of parents and learn the language only of the rhythm only.
5. Be funnyBaby to be funny is not without reason. All babies are born funny to arouse instincts of adult protection. In a 2011 study published last year, a team of psychologists from China and Canada found that the baby is considered more cute and funny than children. This cuteness level will go down as the baby at the age of 4 years.
In infants, it looks funny really a matter of life and death. Another study found that babies who have small eyes, flat forehead and a square face are less likely to receive attention from their parents.
