Q

Cross Section Design

A

examine ppl of different ages at a single point in time vulnerable to cohort effects; groups who lived during period can differ in some systematic ways from groups who lived during another period

Q

Research Design in Development Psychology (3)

A
  • comparison of longitudinal and cross sectional studies
  • to study age related changes using a longitudinal study, researchers examine the same groups of individuals over an extended period of time
  • when using a cross sectional study, researchers examine and compare groups of different ages at one point in time

Q

Nature vs Nurture

A

both are important in sharing development. its not either or issue only longer genetic predipsotion can drive to select and create particular environments leading to the mistak appearance of pure effect of nature

Q

Gene Expression

Study These Flashcards
A

some gene turn only in response of specific environments events

25
Development: historical, cultural, societal contexts
transmission of patterns of beliefs, values, customs, and skills to younger generations - reflective of historic and cultural contexts (intergenerational or generational traumu)
26
4 Domains of Development
1. Phsycial 2. Cognitive 3. Language 4. Social Emotional
27
Physical Domain (5)
- physical change ( heights, weight, strength) - neurological development - gross motor skills - fine motor skills - sensory development
28
Cognitive Domaine (2)
- intellectual - thinking, new knowledge, attention, memory, reasoing and problem sovlibg - creativity
29
Language Domain (3)
considered within in cognitive domain - expressive language (speaking) - receptive language ( understanding what others say) - verbal and non verbal
30
Social Emotional (6)
- sense of being - interactions with others (navigate SoCal interactions ) - forming relationships (familys) - being able to use and understand social skills and social cues - experience, express, and manage own emotions - understand the emotions of others
31
Parental Development (3)
1. period of zygote 2. embryonic stage 3. between day 18 - 180
32
Period of Zygote
week 0-2 - conception (sperm fertilizing in ovum) - zygote attaches to uternine wall
33
Embryonic Stage
week 3-8 - major systems, organs, body strucure develop in embroys - cephalocaudal and proximodistal development - genetic and environments being to shape and individuals through preganayc (gestation)
34
18 days and 180 days
neurons grow at in increased rate - 250,000 per minute
35
factors affecting prental development - Teratogens =
envionmental factors that can exert a (-) impact on prental development (smoking, drugs, chicken pox)
36
factors affecting prental development - Alochol =
alcohol consumptions can lead to Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disroder = abnromal functions and growth development, family deveopment in offspring of who drank while pregnet
37
Genetic Facts
can be disorders like DS or random eros in cell divison
38
Preemies
infants born earlier than 36 weeks. born 25 weeks have 50% chance of surviving. fetal development happens rlly quckly, so if born at 30 weeks they have a 95% chance of living
39
Kangaroo Care
skin to skin (chest to chest) baby only wearing a diaper contact with parent and preemie. non invase suport and natural to decrease apnea
40
Brain development in Infants
changes in brain development - myelinations begins prenatualy and accelerate through infancy and childhood and countries gradually for several decades
41
Synaptogensis
forming of new synaptic connections
42
Synaptic Pruning
the loss of weak nerve cell connections
43
Infants Sensory Development
born almost complexity helplessness and need extended care as tehy develop sense, strenght, and coordination
44
5 Sense Function?
have 5 senses at birth but no completly developed; hearing is better then fusion, cna discriminate, prefer certain odcurs and tasts
45
Infancts and human face
rlly important - new borsn will imitate facial expression of others - they prefer to look at stimuli that look like face, compared to stimuli that have all the same features but r scrambled
46
Infants Motor Development
wide range in the rates and way in which inants achieve morot milestones. infants r born with a large set of automatic motor behaviour (reflexes) like sucking and rooting reflexes are essential for freeding
47
Progression of Motor Development
in contrats of reflexes, the development of motor skills is dependent on practice and deliberate effors. most infants develop motor skills in a sequence. the age indicated are avg and many develop any of theses milestones a few motnhs earlier or later then avg (cross cultural differences)
