provide example of abnormal development of institutionalized infants (abnormal development in one domain often impedes profess in others)

What will be an ideal response?


-adoptive parents of children from orphanages often report visual impairments. A frequent problem is strabismus ("crossed eyes"), in which the eyes, because of muscle weakness, do not converge on the same point in space. Untreated infants, for whom strabismus persists longer than a few months, show
abnormalities in the brain's visual structures and permanent deficits in visual acuity, depth perception, tracking of moving objects, and perception of the spatial layout of the environment

- the bland, colorless rooms where orphanage infants spend their days, rarely touched or spoken to, lead to deficits in intermodal perception . Children who have trouble integrating information across modalities tend to be overwhelmed by stimulation, reacting to it with disorganized behavior or withdrawal—a circumstance that impedes all domains of development.
