Q

Vygotskys Soiocultural Cognive Theory

A

Learned math w this theory.
- cultural and social interaction guide constituted development

Q

Information Processing theory

A

How we take things in, process it and organize it and then use it like a computer.
- develop gradually, increasing capacity for processing information allowing them to acquire increasingly complex knowledge and skills

Q

Behavioural and Social Congitive Theory

A

Development from behaviours learned through interactions w surroudings. Development is also observable while behaviour is learned through experience w environments

25
Mesosystem
Relations between Mircor systems or connections between contexts (family’s and school)
26
Ecosystem
Links between social settings where individuals does not have an active role (home experience may be influence by a parent work experience) Ie. rent who travels for work = shift in home life and development
27
Macro systems
Cultural (referring to behaviour patterns, beliefs etc in which individuals live (culture brought up in effects thoughts and behaviours)
28
Chonosytem
Patterning of environmental events or transitions over the life course as well as as a sociohistorical circumstances
29
Contemporary Approach
+ Psychology Focuse on alternative methods of abating health and happiness like courage creativity and laughter 5 positive traits include love, hope, gratitude, curiosity, and zest
30
Neuroscience
Study of the brain, nervous system, and spinal cord
31
Neuoplasticity
Brains ability to compensate for injure or disease - examine how brain maps ur personal narratives - abuse and treatments of disease
32
Dynamic System
Thelen - development is problistic and emerges out of complex interactions between the developing organism and its eveniomnet - relies t complex interactions w emergent properties
33
Evolutionary Psychology
Synthesizes modern evolutionary biological and psychology in search to understand how bran and ehaviour unfolds across the lifespans contemporary approach
34
3 ways to Research HD
1. Observation 2. Surgery and Interview 3. Standardized Test
35
Methods of Collecting Data
1. case study Physiological measures
36
Observation - must be systematic = natural observation = need to know
1. Who, when, and where we will observe 2. How observation will be made 3. How they will be recorded
37
Laboratory vs Naturalistic Observation
L = a controlled setting in which research can take place N = observation that occurs in a real world setting without any attempts to manipulate the situation
38
Surgery and Interview
- directly ask questions to complete survey = questionnaire - surverys r useful in large settings In person, over phone, by mail, or over internet LIMITATION = social desirability bias
39
Standardized test
SAT / EYE EXAM A test tha gives uniform procedures for a discretion and scoring - performance compassions LIMITATIONS = assumes a persons behaviour is consistent and stable
40
Case Study
Interview or medial records An in-depth examination - info at one persons experience - may gather info from interview or medial records
41
Physioogical Measures (3)
1. Neuromaging 2. Heart rate 3. Cortisol
42
Descriptive Research
Aims to observe an record behaviour without influence it in any way. - all data collection methods can be used to descriptive research - by itself; descriptive research cannot prove what cause a phenomenon
43
Correlational research Design
Focuses on describing the trench of the relationship between 2 or more events or characteristics without manipulating them
44
5 Key characteristics of Correlational Reseach
1. Naturalistic Observation 2. Relationship Focused 3. No Manipulation 4. Quantitative 5. Broader Scope
45
Advantages and Limitations of Correlational Research
A = efficiency, real world application, ethical considerations L = inability to establish causation, confounding variables, directionality problems
46
Correlation Coefficient
A number based on statistical analysis that describes the degree of association between 2 variables - range from -1.00 to + 1.00 - higher the correlation coefficient (ether +/-) the stronger the association between 2 variables 0 = no association Correlation doesn’t not = causation
47
Experimental Research Design
- a carefully regulated procedure in which one or more of the factors believed to influence the behaviour binge studied is manipulated. Experimental research premis the determination of cause. There r 2 factors and 1 or more experimental group
48
Indepentent variables
A manipulated influence experimental factor
49
Depepedent Variable
Factor that change in an experiment in response to to change in the independent variable
50
Experimental group
Group whose experience is manipulated
51
Control Group
Compassions group that is as much like the EG as possible, except for the manipulated factors (independent variable) - CG = baseline - Random Assigment = researchers assigned partipants to experimental and control group by chance
52
Key Characteristics of Experimental Research
1. Manipulation of variables 2. Random assignment 3. Control 4. Hypotheses testing 5. Replicabilty
53
Advantages and Limitations of Experimental Research
A = establishing causality, control, precision, scientific rigor L = ethical considerations and resource intensive
54
Choosing Between Correlation and Experiemental Reseach - 7 factors
1. Research questions 2. Ethical consideration 3. Resources 4. Nature of variable 5. Desired generalizability 6. Stage or research
55
Cross Selectional Approach (+ A and L)
Different ages r compared to A = researchers do not need to wait for individuals to grow up or bc older L = gives no info abt stability of characters its or how individuals change over time
56
Longitudinal (+ A / L)
Same individuals r studied over a period of time ( usually 7+ years or more) A = provide info at stability and changes in development L = expensive, time consuming, retaining participants
57
Cohort
Group of ppl who are born at a similar point in history and share similar experience
58
Cohort Effects
Share by a group of individuals based on time of birth or generation NOT AGE
59
Voluntary
Ppl have chosen to participate in research according to their own values, wishes, free of influence or coercion
60
Informed
Gives prospective participants all the necessary into from them to make an inforinformed decision abt patipaants
61
Research Ethic Committee
Proposed research at collage or university must pass the security of a research ethics committee bf Reseach can actually begin 1. CIHR 2. SSHRC 3. NSERC
62
Confidentially vs Anonymouseity
C = insteded for or restricted to use of a partial person group or class A =not id by name
