Human development
test 1
Question | Answer |
---|---|
development | gradual Predictable Occurs at own rate |
Conceptions of age | Biological Psychological Social |
Developmental Issues | Nature Nuture |
Theoretical framework | Micro, meso, exo, macro, chrono |
Microsystem | Direct interactions with parents teachers peers and others |
Mesosystem | Relationships Church + School Parents + School |
Exosystem | Setting no interactions |
Macrosystem | focus on culture, society. history |
Chronosystem | Timing when events take place |
Nature | way you were born |
Nuture | Affected by environment Turn on and off |
Types of research | qualitative quantitative |
Qualitative | Numbers--> turns into data |
Quantitative | Observation, interviews, documents |
Natural experiment | twins, seperated at birth |
Cross sectional | different age groups tested same time |
Longitudinal | Same people over time |
Descriptive stats | Summarizing mean median mode |
Correlation | Strenght and direction between 2 events |
Positive correlation | Both variables increase or decrease at same time |
Negative correlation | As one increased the other decreases |
Random assignment | equal chance doesnt skew results |
Experimentation | Control and test groups |
DNA | molecule with genetic information |
Genes | Hereditary info composed of DNA |
Chromosomes | 46, 23 pairs thread like |
gamats | Egg and sperm |
Meiosis | Duplicate twice then divide with random chromosomes |
Mitosis | makes exact copies of all 46 chromosomes |
Sources of variability | Crossing over random assignment random mutated |
Crossing over | Recombination |
Genotype | All ones genetic material |
Phenotype | Environmentally observable, physical |
Dominant, recessive | Punnett square one gene one physical trait |
Incomplete recessive | Sickle cell anemia |
Codominance | a from mom b from dad type AB blood |
polygenetic inheritance | eye color-one gene |
XY | male |
XX | female |
Recent research has had a big impact on nature v nuture debate, we not believe that nature evoles overtime and nuture is turning on and off ID 1 trait that is heritable? | Trauma |
Cephalocaudal | grow from head to toe |
Proximodistal | Inside to outside |
Experience expectant | way genes were formed at birth |
Why do scientist say the brain is plastic | able to rewire itself born deaf brain rewires to help another area |
Experience dependent | Prune or rewire based on ones environment |
motor development | the way we precieve something in the environment that we want action and preception problem solving |
Piaget 4 factors | biological maturation physical social equilibrium |
Piaget 3 assumptions | organizations-make sense of the world schemes-represention in the brain adaptation-responding to environment |
piaget assimilation | new information into existing scheme |
Piaget accommodation | Bust or adjust scheme change according to situation |
Sensorimotor | Thinking-usuing senses to move 0-2months |
object perminance | infants make scheme so objects is there |
Goal directed action | Infants squeezing hand as reflex purposfully |
What are privilaged domains | an area where we are predespoed to learn Biology-inanimant objects cant move themselves |
What did piaget think of infants | Didnt think object perminance until 10 months have expectations about physical world |
What does patricia kuhl call babies citizens of the world | They have an ability to precieve all sounds at languages lost this 7-8months, neurons pruned cause not used |
Identify two things that they violation of expection research has taught me about infant cognetion i.e. What does each of these tell us about infant cognition? Name 2 domains of thought that are priviledged in infants brains and give an example for each | . Expectations of how world works 2. Object perminance sooner than Piaget thought 2 domains Biology- Inanimate objects cant move themselves Physics- Things dont levitate |
Define the following terms and give an example for each. Experience expectant and experience dependent | Experience ex: Genetic wiring of brain to precieve stimuli EX: babies can precieve all sounds of all languages Experience dep: Way the brain rewires based on environment EX: Being born deaf and brain rewires to help another |
Research has identified that infants have privileged domains. define a privileged domain? What are two privileged domains? Provide and example for each | Privileged domain: An area in which we are predeposed to learn. 1.language-can preicieve all sound when young 2.Math-young hibituate when see same number when different they dishubituate |
Recent research had had an impact on the nature v. nuture debate. What is the impact? Now most scientist believe that nature has what kind of impact and nurture has what type of impact. Name one surprising trait that is inheritable | Impact-Asking the wrong question Nature-evolution of genome Nuture-turning jeans on and off one trait-trauma |
What is the ecological view proposed by gibson and gibson? what is an affordance? give an example of an affordance | Perception of environment plays big role in motor development Affordance-something that helps you acheive a goal Ex: coffee table to help walk |
What is meant when researchers say the brain is plastic? Give an example | Able to rewire itself If deaf the brain rewires to help another part of the brain |
State a stupid definition of development and provide three principles of development | Changes from conception to birth 1.gradual 2.orderly and predictable 3.occurs at own rate |
Patricia Kuhl calls infants Citizens of the world. what does she mean when she says this? At what point are infants no longer citizens of the world. Why? | The are able to precieve all the sounds of all the languages. stops at 7-10m Why? not used to brain prunes them |
