11
Q
what is the 100 year effect
A
- a theory that existed way before we were born
- it is an egg that was in ur mother when u were conceived and was in ur grandma was conceived, etc
environment of the grandma lived in shaped us, and it took 100 years to see the diff
12
Q
what is the U shaped curve
A
way that babies enter the world matters: low birth weight vs high birth weight.
on one end of the curve there are heavy born babies and the other end are low birht weight and each end is an extreme so these babies will have chances of 3 or more chronic conditions

pos punishment you add something to punish (eg, timeout or hitting or a chore)
neg punishment you take away something to punish them (eg, the fav toy or their phone)
61
what is positive reinforcement vs neg reinforcement
pos: adding something to repeat that behaviour, eg: REWARD
neg: taking something away to repeat that behaviour:

What was piaget's theory based on
scheme, assimilation, accommodation and equilibration
67
what is a scheme
an internal cognitive structure that provides an individual with procedure to follow in a specific circumstance
eg. how we brush our teeth: we plan it out as, first do this and then do that, etc
68
what is assimilation
process of applying schemes to (different?) experiences
eg. if a scheme was to get ready in the morning to come to class, but the same scheme could be applied to another class
69
what is accomodation
changing the scheme as a result of new information
eg. kids go through many spurts of development like learning a bunch of new words. when learning a new word they think on how to think or say a word and when they get feedback they retry it and change it
70
what is equiliberation
process of balancing assimilation and accomodation to create schemes that fit the environment
we learn what works and what doesn't in particular situations.

conversation is developed
78
third stage of piaget's cognitive development and explain

concepts learning in one context can be applied to another
80
what is bandura's theory?
bridge between behaviourist and cognitive learning theories emphasis on attention, memory and motivation
he says you can learn through observation, limitation and modeling
81
an eg of bandura's theory
influencing one another and influenced by environment; observing
eg. driving- looking at parents and also learning by the environment like stop signs etc.
eg. manners, for eg eye contact is important bc u look at ur parents to learn that.
82
are cognitive theories good?
yes bc it takes into account of environment and is combining it with biology
83
why can cognitive theories be bad?
difficult to test and observe

the "whole" is primary and often greater than the sum of its parts
87
what does wellness mean
a result of adaptive adjusment
88
this is the first group of theories to say something..what is it?
said studying a person in a lab is useless bc they don't live in a lab and so need to study their environment along with the person
89

microsystem
mesosystem
exosystem
macrosystem
chronosystem

what is a noticeable factor about all the theorists?
- all men
-all old
-all white
98
why is this a problem that all theoriests are white old men
- less diversity bc they only experience so much in relation to culture, etc
basically that these theories might only work with white old men
99
why do we still use these theories presented by these white old men
bc they laid the foundation for greater studies

131
Is home birth safe and who does it
- 9% of first time moms plan a home birth and 21% second times moms
- but only offered to women with NO risk factors and spontaneous labors
- yes it is safe if not even better than hospital births that low risk women go to
132
why is homebirth outcomes better
1. environment: hospital is too chaotic which can lead to stress
2. higher infection rate at hospital
and homebirths have a good outcome because only women with LOW risk are having babies at home

how many stages of labour are there
4
134
1st stage of labour
- muscles of the uterus start to tighten (contract) and then relax

this disappears by 3 months of age
159
what is the babinski reflex
stroking the sole of the foot causes the infants toes to fan out and up
this disappears by 12 months of age
160

why do infants do the rooting reflex
to eat
162
what can reflexes like babinski indicate
