Study These Flashcards
A

Elicit emotional, physiological or reflexive response

24
Q

Operant conditioning

Study These Flashcards
A

Emit behaviour in response to a stimuli

Reinforcers and punishers

25
Information-processing computational approach
Human mind is best conceived of as computational system
26
Systems theories - holistic approach
Viewing individual or group as it’s own ecosystem with many moving parts that affect each other 1. Characterised by comprehension of parts of something as intimately interconnected 2. Characterised by treatment of whole person
27
Critical theories - sociological approaches
A social theory orientated toward critiquing and changing society as a whole
28
Longitudinal study
A type of study in which one group of subjects is followed and observed for an extended period of time
29
Cross sectional study
A representive cross section of population is tested or surveyed at one specific time 1. Look at people who differ in one key characteristic at one specific point in time 2. Participant usually separated into groups known as cohort 3. Observational in nature
30
Cohort sequential study
A cross section of population is chosen and then each cohort is followed for a short period o time
31
List of advantages of longitudinal studies
1. Effective in determining variable patterns over time 2. Clear focus and validity 3. Effective in doing research on developmental tends 4. More powerful than cross sectional studies
32
Effective in determining variables over time
Learn about cause and effect relationship Make connection in a clearer manner More data over long period - more concise and better results Highly valid for long term changes Unique / provide useful data about individual changes
33
What is strength of cross-sectional studies
1. Relatively cheap 2. Easy to do 3. No follow up
34
Limitation
1. Not useful for studying rare exposure/outcomes | 2. Can’t assess causation
35
Cohort sequential design definition
Multiple samples of participants of different ages are followed over time and tested at different ages
36
Advantage of cohort sequential design
Can compare ages with first test pony | Generation effects are less problematic
37
Primary intersubjectivity
Onset of long mutual gaze between infant and caregiver
38
Still face paradigm
Tronick Asked mothers who had been enjoying dialogue with their baby to stop moving and maintain a static unsmiling expression on their faces Baby would try to attempt their mother into interaction by smiling themselves and would be puzzled and increasingly distressed when their smile did not provoke usual response
39
Evaluation of still face paradigm
Unethical Lacks mundane realism Lacks eco validity Only mothers used
40
Delayed transmission paradigm
Trevarthen Two month old infant first interacts via a video monitor with monitor in real time Then played a tape of mother in which she wasn’t responding to the infants facial and bodily gestures Showing no response to infant = acute distress, eventually gave up and turned away
41
What is the evaluation of Trevarthen?
Failure to replicate Less carefully controlled Infants couldn’t distinguish between live and videotape
42
Pouting - Oster 2005
Pouting = baby’s first effort to regulate distress and maintain social contact Part of emotion-regulation process to signal caregiver to provide comfort before baby cries
43
Tongue protrusion
Meltzoff and Moore mirroring 1. Adult model = 3 facial expression/ hand movement where fingers move in a sequence 2. Dummy placed in infants mouth during initial display to prevent any response 3. Following display, dummy removed and Childs expression was filmed on video 4. 2-3 week old able to initiate specific facial hand gesture 5. Association between infant behaviour and that of adult model
44
Evaluation of tongue protrusion
1. Difficult in testing infant behaviour 2. Baby’s mouth are in constant motion. And expression that tested occur frequently 3. Difficult to observe between general activity and specific limited behaviour
45
Freud (1940, 1964) - biological drives | Impulses - unconscious
Our earliest childhood memories may be locked in our unconscious and influence everyday life Believed that infant needed mother primarily as food source Infant attached to mother through having oral need such as feeding
46
Harlow (1959)
Study mechanism by which newborn rhesus monkey bond with mothers 16 monkeys separated from mother immediately after birth, placed in cages Access to two surrogate mothers 1. Provides food 2. Provides comfort The group of monkeys spent more time with cloth mother Contact is more important than feeding in formation of infant mother attachment
47
Evaluation of Harlow
1. Cruel 2. Limited value in attempting to understand the affects of deprivation on human infants 3. Monkeys sufferered emotional harm (isolation) 4. Fear and depression 5. Animal studies cannot be applied to humans
