Unit 4

 In this unit, we learn about the corporal expression, so this part of the blog is going to be about the evoultion of the corporal expression.

  • Gestures: 
The gestures are movements of our body to express feelings and emotions. The gestures have an innate and universal origen but they are culturally different.

Evolution of the gestures: 
  • 0 to 3 months: Only relfex movements of the eyes and mouth. At the age of 3 months the baby smiles. 
  • 4 to 7 months: Gestures of happiness, sadness... and looks with preferences at people.
  • 7 to 10 months: The baby make gestures to catch attention form others. Using arms and legs.
  • 10 to 12 months: The gestures are just complementary, the baby introduces some words.
  • Movement:
Acording to Wallon:
  • Impulsive stage (0-6 months): The movement is the main activity of expression, this period is characterized by weak motor control and thus gestural disorder.
  • Emotional stage (6-12 months): The baby express his emotions through movement, especially towards his mother.
  • Sensoriomotor stage (1-3 years): Prevails the influence of the external world. This will support of the awakening of two types of inteligence; the practical and discurive. The baby repeat actions and handle objects.
  • Personalisim stage (3-6 years): predominance of affective functions over intelligence. Around 3 years of age the child tends to be opposed to the adult in a kind of negativist crisis, but this attitude is soon followed by a period of motor and social imitation.
