Q

Bronfenbrenners Ecological Systems Approach

A

Microsystem: interactions w/child and others in immediate setting
Mesosystem: interactions between Microsystems
Exosystem: institutions that indirectly affect development
Macrosystem: interactions w/beliefs in cultural setting (ex:spanking)
Chronosystem: changes that occur over life course

Q

Vygotsky Sociocultural Perspective

A

Zone of Proximal Development: task done by child but assisted w/help from someone w/ greater skill.
Inner Speech: outward speech used to teach/guide child trough task becomes inward or embedded into their mind
Scaffolding: cognitive structures to help child complete task. (Starting w/ what child can do & building up)

Q

Experimental Design

A

Experimenter manipulates one of more independent variables and measures effects on dependent variable.
Consists of:
-treatment & control group
-random assignment
-hypothesis

Q

Describe conception

A

Ovum and one sperm meet in the Fallopian tube. Layer thickens locking out other sperm.
Takes 60-90 min for 2,000 sperm cells to reach Fallopian tube.
Conception results in a zygote
Forms 23 pairs of chromosomes (xx is girl) (xy is boy)

Q

Three prenatal stages of development

A
  1. Germinal(wks 0-2)- conception to implantation into uterine wall with embryo blast head first. Blastocyst created
    -Trophoblast- produce blood cells, develops into umbilical cord, amniotic sac and chorian, helps form placenta
  2. Embryonic(wks 3-8)- forms 3 embryonic tissues, heart starts beating, major organ systems develop(limbs, facial features, nervous system and brain). Fetus develops in amniotic sac. Placenta permits oxygen/nutrients, waste to pass to mother from baby. Placenta functions: secretes hormones, prepares breasts for nursing and stimulates contractions.
  3. Fetal(wks 9-birth)- responds to external stimulation.
    1st trim: major organ systems formed
    2nd trim: 1 ounce-2pounds, open/shut eyes and suck thumb, responds to sound waves
    3rd trim: gains 5 1/2 ibs, turns to head down position, vigorously moves limbs

Q

What did DeCasper and Fifer do and find?

A

Tested if babies remembered mother’s voice and Cat in the Hat after birth. During lasts 6wks, moms read book out loud twice daily. Found baby’s responded to mothers voice by long pauses while sucking on artificial nipple.

Q

Pregnancy & Nutrition

A

Prenatal care VERY important! Malnutrition can lead to:
-LBW/premature
-retardation/cognitive deficits
-behavioral issues
-cardiovascular disease

17
Q

What are teratogens and pathogens? What do they do?

A

Teratogens: environmental agents that can harm baby
-drugs/alcohol
-heavy metals
-hormones
-radiation
Pathogens: bacteria/viruses

18
Q

How do alcohol and drugs influence development of fetus?

A

Alcohol: FAS
Results in: smaller head/brain, widely spaced eyes, underdeveloped jaw, flat nose, poor social cues
Drugs: LBW, birth defects, smaller in size, stillborn, etc

19
Q

How does age of parent influence prenatal development?

A

Older fathers create abnormal sperm
Recommend fathering before 29-30
Mother’s ideal age is during your 20’s
-miscarriages and Down syndrome increase as moms age increase
-can be prevented through good prenatal care

20
Q

*Film DeCaspers views on prenatal functioning/abilities

A

All senses work before they are born.. memory, learning etc
Not much of a diff between last couple weeks/ months than when baby is born

21
Q

*Film Research findings on fetal auditory functioning

A

The fetus is played a tape of a language he couldn’t
have ever heard followed by white noise in the same frequency range as
the voice. If fetus hears it, his heart rate changes. If the sound
continues, he adjusts to it & heart rate returns normal. If another sound
signal is played & his heart rate undergoes a 2nd Change, Its assumed he has
heard the difference in the 2 Sounds.

22
Q

*Film Findings when cold water is injected into amniotic sac?

A

With a sharp increase in heart rate

23
Q

*Film Findings on fetal response to music (Heloise)

A

Baby became calm, flat, regular bc of familiarity w/music

24
Q

*Film Lickliter views on effects of fetal stimulation during pregnancy

A

Fetus learns more w/ 2 stimuli rather than just 1. However, overstimulation can negatively affect both infant and fetus.

25
*Film Busnel & Vulff, what did they do/find?
Baby’s heart rate increases when mom is speaking & regulates when she stops. All up to interpretation, but there is a relationship.
26
Stages of Childbirth
Stage 1: Effacement & dilation -few hrs to day or more -Effacement: thinning of cervix -dilates to 10 cm Transition:head starts to enter birth canal Stage 2: Crowning & delivery -minutes to hours -Crowning: can see head -contractions move baby -urge to push near end Stage 3: Placental -minutes to an hour -placenta detaches and comes out
27
Neonates
Birth to first 4 weeks
28
What is considered LBW? Premature birth?
LBW: -less than 5.5 lbs Preterm: -born prior to 37 wks -Thin, covered in lanugo and or vernex -immature muscles -RDS
29
Interventions for preterm and + effects
Early stimulation (hugging, rocking, singing, skin to skin, talking + effects: faster weight gain, fewer respiratory problems, faster healing
30
APGAR
Assess health of baby @ birth: A(appearance/color) P(pulse) G(grimace/reflexes) A(activity level) R(respiratory effort)
31
Neonates reflex abilities
Rooting: finger on baby’s mouth Moro: startle Grasping: have strong grasps Stepping: when held upright, attempt to walk Babinski: touching bottom of feet to see if toes fan out Tonic-neck: bow and arrow pose
32
Neonates Visual abilities
-Near sighted - can detect movement -little or no visual accommodation -can’t converge their eyes on objects close to them Color: some say they do, some say they see b&w up until 4 months
33
Abilities in taste, smell & touch
Taste: Yes!discriminate between several tastes (sour, bitter, sweet) Prefer sweet Smell: Yes! Discriminate between distinct odors Touch: important for learning and communication (skin to skin)- comfort/security, bonds of attachment
34
Risk factors for SIDS
-sleeping on stomach or side -premature/LBW -males -From lower SES -African American -babies of teenage mother’s -mother’s who used narcotics during or after pregnancy
