Q

what is the germinal phase

A

-Starts with a single cell called a zygote (fertilized egg) that travels down the
fallopian tubes towards uterus
* Contains all the possible genetic material that you’re going to have (50% from each parent

Q

Sensitive period: ( embyonic development)

A

a time of development in
which certain experiences or conditions
may exert disproportionate influence
(either for harm or benefit) on long-term
developmental outcome

Q

Visual perception

A
  • Infants are attuned to social stimuli, especially to faces
  • Prefer face-like top down organization
  • Prefer mother’s face (when mother is main caregiver)
  • Prefer social to non-social stimuli

Q

Perceptual development ( Nurture)

A
  • Provides an explanation for looking preferences based on
    race/gender— Babies are especially attuned to faces that are like
    their primary caregivers.

Q

What are the 4 parts of the Piagets stage theory

(11+ years): Formal operational

22
Q

What is the Sensorimotor stage

A

Children use their sensory and motor systems to explore their environments.

23
Q

what makes children unique in the Sensorimotor stage

A

Children do not seem to understand object
permanence.

24
Q

what defines Sensorimotor stage

A

Object Permanence - not fully developed until 12 months (Piaget)
A-not-B error: infants perseverate to previous location
perseveration: repetition of a particular response, despite the absence or
cessation (stopping) of a stimulus

25
What is the preoperational stage
Children can now represent experiences with language and mental imagery
26
What makes children unique in the preoperational stage
These skills are still pretty limited — children display egocentrism and centration as they continue to focus primarily on how the world directly relates to them and their bodies.
27
Egocentrism -
Egocentrism - situation from another’s perspective
28
Centration
focus on a single, perceptually salient feature while ignoring other relevant information
29
What is a concrete stage
Children can reason logically about concrete objects and events.
30
What makes children unique in the concrete stage
Children cannot think in purely abstract terms (e.g., about morality) or generate systematic experiments to test their beliefs
31
What is a formal operational stage
Children have reached adult-like stages of reasoning
32
What makes the formal operational stage unique
No major mistakes or gaps in logical reasoning
33
What is Competence/Performance Distinction
A participant’s ability to demonstrate Knowledge may be masked by the demands of the task, unrelated to the knowledge itself
34
One of the methods that helps refine Piaget's ideas
-Increase motivation and pay attention to the pragmatics of the experimental situation.
35
How do you reduce demands on the participants?
- Habituation - Dishabituation
36
what is Imprinting
in innate form of learning in which offspring will follow and become attached to the first moving object that is seen
37
What is secure attachemnet
-Upset at separation; seeks parent at reunion and is easily soothed by the parent
38
What is insecure avoidant
Readily separate to explore; avoids the parent; doesn’t prefer parent to stranger
39
What is Insecure-ambivalent (resistant)
Extremely upset at separation, resists the parent’s attempt to soothe at reunion.
40
What is disorganized/disoriented
Somewhat unpredictable; often looks away from parent and freezes their behaviors or expressions
41
What is the long-term effect of secure attachment?
-rated as more sociable & harmonious with peers -more likely to raise securely attached kids -More trusting, longer lasting romantic relationships -longer lasting & closer friendships
42
What are the stages of production for language
~3 months - Cooing and gurgling -6-12 months - reduplicated babbling: repetitive consonant-vowel pattern in hearing babies, repetitive hand motions in Deaf babies or CODA babies (Child of Deaf Adult) -10-14 months - language-like Babbling is also common and first word(s)
43
Conditioned head-turn procedure -
Infants are trained to turn their heads towards a speaker when a change in a repeating train of sounds is presented
44
What is Syntactic bootstrapping:
Using knowledge of grammar to infer the meaning of novel words
45
How did the children learning about the word Gorping help Syntactic bootstrapping:
-The bunny is gorping the rat - bad mean -The bunny and the rat are gorping together.
46
What is the sensitive period for language development?
Exposure to a second language (L2) after age 7 leads to lower grammar proficiency This is true no matter how long you study your L2!
47
What is adoclence defined by
Developmental psychologist define adolescence as beginning with puberty and ending with the transition to adult roles
48
what is an example of adocesent crisis
Adolescent crisis: Identity versus Identity diffusion
49
What are the 4 states of identity
- Identity moratorium -Identity diffusion - Identity foreclosure -Identity achievement
50
What is Identity Diffusion
Have not committed to an identity nor explored any options -* More socially withdrawn* Low levels of intimacy with peers
51
what is Identity Foreclosure
Have committed to an identity but one that others have chosen for you -Closer relationships with parents * Low autonomy * More rigidity * less open
52
what is Identity moratorium
Know that you need to find an identity, and actively investigating options -higher anxiety* less rigidity * more openness* More conflict with parents
53
What is Identity Achievement
Attained a coherent sense of identity based on exploration and personal decisions - High agency * High intrinsic motivation * High intimacy with peers
