question

-the period between early childhood and early adolescence, approximately from ages 6-11 -few fatal diseases or accidents occur during these years -this is the healthiest period of the entire lifespan

answer

middle childhood

question

What protections do school-children have that make middle childhood the healthiest period of the entire lifespan?

answer

-education about risks -immunizations protect them against contagious diseases (several doses of vaccines) -improved medical care (early diagnosis/treatment have mitigated many conditions) -genes

question

School-age children's growth is slow and steady. They have few serious illness. Children's developmental advances add strength, understanding, and coordination and enable them to undertake self-care (brush teeth, dress self, walk /w friend to school, make own lunch), providing a foundation that allows them to learn effectively in school as well as to have a healthy adulthood.

question

What are the 3 kinds of active play?

answer

neighborhood play exercise in school athletic clubs and leagues

question

-play is interactive, active, and inclusive--ideal for children -rules/boundaries are adapted to the context (out of bound is past the tree or behind the track) -stickball, touch football, tag, hide & seek and other running and catching games (they go one until the dark) -flexible -teaches ethics (compete according to rules that they enforce themselves) -penalty for not plays by rules=social exclusion. So, they learn to cooperate

answer

neighborhood games

question

Modern life undercuts neighborhood games b/c vacant lots and empty fields have largely disappeared, most children live in urban cities not rural areas, parents keep children at home b/c of ''stranger danger''. And indoor activities like HW, TV, and video games compete with outdoor play in every nation.

question

PE in school is an alternative to neighborhood play, but b/c schools are pressured to increase reading and math time, time for PE and recess decrease. Though many studies find that children learn better if they have recess everyday and although recess decreases obesity and increases social skills, 1/3 of US children have less than 15 mins of recess a day. Also, during gym time, some children spend more time sitting/waiting than moving. They should be active at least half of the time require in PE

question

the best known organized recreation program for children

answer

Little League

question

Exercise benefits low income children more than others, but they're less likely to join extracurricular activities even when they are free. Children from low SES families, or those who aren't well coordinated, or those who have disabilities rarely belong to athletic clubs--yet those are the very children who could benefit most from the strength, activity, and teamwork that organized play provides.

question

True or False. Participation in structured sports activities correlates with academic achievement. Academic achievement improved for children who felt victimized but played sports. Academic performance decreased for victimized children who didn't play sports.

answer

True

question

Current social/environmental conditions make informal neighborhood play scarce, school PE is less prevalent and sports leagues less welcoming for some school-age children. Although the 3 kinds of play provide needed activity, energetic play is much more likely for some children than for others.

overweight

question

in a child, having a BMI above the 95th percentage

answer

obesity

question

True or False. Childhood obesity is a worldwide epidemic.

answer

True

question

Some children have chronic health problems that interfere with school and friendship. For children with chronic conditions, learning good health habits is especially vital before adolescences. Among these are ___ & ___, both increasing in every nation and both having genetic and environmental causes.

answer

obesity & asthma

question

Overweight children more often have asthma, high blood pressure, high cholesterol (esp LDL). And as excessive weight increases, school achievement decreases, self-esteem decreases, and loneliness increases. School-children are more likely to reject their obese classmates, who often hate school. Over time, it gets worse. If they stay heavy, obese children risk diabetes, heart disease, strokes and are less likely to marry, to find jobs, and to live to old age. Because of obesity, today's children may be the first generation to die at a younger age than their parents did.

question

What are the causes of overweight in children?

answer

-no single cause; many contributing factors (genes, parents, policies) -some ppl are genetically predisposed to high proportions of body fat -parenting practices have changed for the worse-->obesity is more common in children not breast-fed, in preschoolers who watch TV and drink sodas and in school-age children who are driven to school and rarely play outside -social policies-->food ads entice children to eat unhealthy food. Communities and nations determine the quality of school lunches; presence of vending machines, less prevalence of sidewalks and parks/bike paths. etc.

question

ability of children to nag the parent -usually children to this to parents so they can buy calorie-dense food but some do this to parents in the opposite way--to play with them, to let them join a sports team etc.

answer

pester power

question

Although genes are part of the problem, less exercise and the greater availability of unhealthy foods are the main reasons today's youth are heavier than their counterparts 50 yrs ago. Parents are policies are also to blame. Many factors, over time, make a child overweight.

question

a chronic disease of the respiratory system in which the inflammation narrows the airways from the nose and mouth to the lungs, causing difficulty in breathing. Signs and symptoms include wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness and coughing.

answer

asthma

question

True or False. Asthma affects ppl of every age, but rates are highest among school children with marked increase worldwide. Incidence of asthma is increasing overall, with notable ethnic differences

answer

True

question

What are the causes of asthma?

answer

-origins of asthma is genetic, but the triggers are specific environmental allergens -air pollution (esp cause by traffic congestion) -allergens (pet dander, cigarette smoke, dust mites, cockroaches, mold) also trigger attacks -several aspects of modern life--carpets, pets, airtight windows, less outdoor play.

question

a hypothesis for the reason why children have asthma that says that contemporary children are kept too hygienic, overprotected from viruses and bacteria which means they do not contract minor infections and diseases that would actually strengthen their immune system.

answer

hygienic hypothesis

question

Incidence of asthma increases as nations gets richer. Better hygiene is one explanation but so is increasing urbanization, which correlates with more cars, more pollution and smaller families.

answer

Incidence of asthma increases as nations gets richer. Better hygiene is one explanation but so is increasing urbanization, which correlates with more cars, more pollution and smaller families.

question

Asthma prevention -primary: requires changes in entire society. Better ventilation at school/home, less pollution, less cockroaches, less antibiotics, fewer c-sections, and more outdoor play -secondary: decreases asthma attacks among high-risk children. Prolong breast-feeding, less dusts/smoke, no cats and cockroaches -tertiary: includes the prompt use of injections and inhalers.

question

If the brain has no area dedicated to reading, how do humans learn to read without specific brain structures?

answer

-b/c of the massive interconnections between the parts of the brain -reading uses several parts of the brain--one for sound, another for recognizing letters, another for sequencing, another for comprehension and so on. -connections among various brain structures along with increased myelination in the pre-frontal cortex and corpus callosum increase executive functioning, which in turn make all forms of education more possible.

question

Massive interconnections in the brain are also needed for many social skills as well--deciding whom to trust, figuring out what's fair, interpreting ambiguous gestures/expressions. During middle childhood, various parts of the brain connect to allow social decision making.

question

The ability of the pre-frontal cortex to control various impulses allow planning for the future which is beyond the ability of impatient younger children. School age children can analyze the possible consequences before they lash out in anger or dissolve in tears and they can figure out when a curse words seems advisable and when it's not. Planning means they can count the days until summer.

Planning means they can count the days until summer.

question

the time it takes to respond to a stimulus, either physically (/w a reflexive movement such as an eye blink) or cognitively (/w a thought) -indicates speed of thought as impulse travels from one neuron to another and increasing myelination speeds this up every year from birth-16 years old.

answer

reaction time

question

the ability to concentrate on some stimuli while ignoring others. -school age children not only notice various stimuli but also select appropriate responses when several possibilities conflict. -this enables focused concentration in school and play

answer

selective attention

question

True or False. Neurological advances allow children not only process info quickly but also to pay a special heed to the most important elements of their environment.

answer

True

question

a process in which repetition of a sequence of thoughts and actions makes the sequence routine, so that it no longer requires conscious thought -at first, almost all behaviors under conscious control require careful and slow thought. After many repetitions, as neurons fire in sequence, actions become more automatic and patterned. Less thinking is needed b/c the firing of one neuron sets off a chain reaction.

answer

automatization

question

Learning to speak a second language, to recite the multiplication tables, to write one's name, & to read are all slow at first but gradually become automatic (automatization)

answer

question

the potential to master a specific skill or to learn a certain body of knowledge -learning potential -this is often measured by IQ tests

answer

aptitude

question

a test designed to measure intellectual aptitude , or ability to learn in school. Originally , intelligence was defined as mental age divided by chronological age times 100--hence the term intelligence quotient -most such tests emphasize language/logical ability and predict school achievement -these scores change overtime partly b/c of maturation but primarily b/c of experiences

answer

IQ

question

a measure of mastery of proficiency in reading, math, writing, science, or some other subject/ specific area -in school they compare scores to norms established for each grade -but these don't reflect the age

answer

achievement tests

question

True or False. In theory, achievement is actual learning, not learning potential (aptitude)

answer

True

question

the rise in average IQ scores that has occurred over the decades in many nations

answer

Flynn effect

question

Aptitude is NOT a fixed characteristic present at birth. Children with a low IQ can become average or even gifted

answer

Aptitude is NOT a fixed characteristic present at birth. Children with a low IQ can become average or even gifted

question

Although potential and accomplishment are supposed to be distinct, IQ and achievements scores are strongly correlated for individuals, for groups and for children and for nations.

answer

Although potential and accomplishment are supposed to be distinct, IQ and achievements scores are strongly correlated for individuals, for groups and for children and for nations.

question

the idea that human intelligence is comprised of a varied set of abilities rather than a single, all-encompassing one

answer

multiple intelligence

question

IQ tests were criticized b/c underlying these tests is the assumption that there's one general thing called intelligences. But children may instead inherit a set of abilities. Some high and some low, rather than a general intellectual ability -Can any single est measure the complexities of the human brain?

question

True or False. Brain activity doesn't reliably correlate with IQ scores. Although it may seem logical that less activation of the brain would mean less intelligence, such a conclusion would be a mistake. In fact, many areas of a young child's brain are activated simultaneously and then with practice automatization reduces the need for brain activity, so the smartest children might have less active brains in some circumstance

answer

True

question

Neuroscientists agree that: 1.) brain development depends on a person's specific experiences and so any brain scan is accurate only for the moment it's done 2.) brain development continues throughout life. Middle childhood his crucial but so are development before and after these years. 3.) Children with disorders often have unusual brain patterns and training their brains may help. However, brain complexity means that no neuroscience remediation always succeeds.

answer

comorbid

question

the field that uses insights into typical development to understand and remediate developmental disorders

answer

developmental psychpathology

question

What are the 4 general principles of developmental psychopathology?

answer

1.) Abnormality is normal. Most children act oddly. At the same time, children with serious disorders are, in many respects, like everyone else 2.) disability changes yr by yr. Most disorders are comorbid. Which particular disorder is most disabling changes as does the degree of the impairment 3.) life may be better or worse in adulthood 4.) diagnosis/treatment reflect the social context. In a dynamic system, each individual interacts /w the surrounding setting--including family, school, community and culture--to modify, worsen or even create psychopathology

question

multifinality

answer

a basic principle of developmental psychopathology that holds that one cause can have many final manifestations

question

What is this an example of? A child has been flooded with stress hormones in infancy. The child can either be hyperviligant or unusually calm, may be either easily angered or quick to cry, or may not be affected at all b/c of differential vulnerability.

answer

multifinality

question

equifinality

answer

-equal in final form -a basic principle of developmental psychopathology that holds that one symptom can have many causes

question

What is this an example of? A 6-yrd old boy who doesn't talk may be autistic, hard of hearing or mentally retarded

answer

equifinality

question

Developmental psychopathology is especially relevant in middle childhood, when children are grouped by age and expected to learn on schedule. Those practices reveal problems in many children who differ from their peers . Fortunately, middle childhood is also a time when some disorders can be mitigated if treatment is early and targeted.

a condition in which a person not only has great difficulty concentrating for more a an few moments but also is inattentive, impulsive, and overreactive. -have difficulty paying attention and may also be filled with uncontrollable urges to be active or to act out impulsively -can be inattentive, impulsive, and overactive and are thus disruptive even when adults want them to be still. -have academic difficulties

answer

ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder)

question

What is this an example of? A child sits down to do HW. They might look up, ask questions, think about playing, get a drink, fidget, squirm, tap the table etc.

answer

a child with ADHD

question

a condition characterized by extreme mood swings, from euphoria to deep depression, not caused by outside experiences -they experience at least one episode of grandiosity, They might believe that they are the smartest person in the school, a genius destined to save the entire world. -at other times, they child might be severely depressed, unwilling or unable to read, play with others, or got to school -often mistaken for ADHD

answer

bipolar disorder

question

a condition in which a child has chronic irritability and anger that culminates in frequent tantrums that are inappropriate to the circumstances and to the child's age -such children are too rageful and irritable. -these are children who may scream over a dropped icecream cone, or throw a remote across the room rather than share it, and who long sad or angry when they are not losing their temper. -such behaviors may predict later anxiety and depressive disorders

answer

disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD)

question

Bipolar disorder remains difficult to differentiate from other pediatric illness in youth, Many children diagnoses with either ADHD or bipolar disorder may be more accrately diagnosed with the other.

answer

Bipolar disorder remains difficult to differentiate from other pediatric illness in youth, Many children diagnoses with either ADHD or bipolar disorder may be more accrately diagnosed with the other.

question

What are some common symptoms between children with ADHD and those with bipolar disorder?

answer

-tend to be irritable, even rageful, when adults demand that they behave normally -have trouble sleeping, sometimes notably active and other times depressed -both are more common in children whose parents have a disorder. (ADHD parents often have learning disabilities while parents of kids with bipolar disorders have mood disturbances, including depression and eating disorders) -both are linked to unusual brain pattern either in structure or activity. There's not yet any definitive biological or neurological sign of either disorder however

question

a marked deficit in a particular area of learning that's not caused by an apparent physical disability , by intellectual disability or by an unusually stressful home environment

answer

specific learning disorders (learning disabilities)

question

Many ppl have some specific learning disorder that leads to difficulty in mastering a particular skill that most other ppl acquire easily. Most such learning disabilities are not debilitating, but every school-child is expected to learn reading/math. Disabilities in either of these 2 subjects often undercut academic achievement and make a child feel inadequate ashamed/stupid

-a developmental disorder marked by difficulty with social communication/interaction, including difficulty seeing things from another person's point of view, and restricted repetitive behaviors, interests or activities -many of these children don't want to talk , play and interact with others. They are delayed in developing a theory of mind. Some never speak, rarely smile, and often play with one object for hrs

answer

ASD (autism spectrum disorder)

question

Multifinality and equifinality apply to autism as well. Children with ASD have core symptoms in common but they also differ in the cause and consequences of those symptoms. This is why selecting treatments are difficult and results inconsistent.

Intense early education nourished talented children like Mozart and Picasso, but neither lead really happy lives. Also, children who are unusually creative may also need special education.

answer

Intense early education nourished talented children like Mozart and Picasso, but neither lead really happy lives. Also, children who are unusually creative may also need special education.

question

-Children who are unusually creative may also need special education. - They're divergent thinkers, finding many solutions and even more questions for every problem. -They joke in class, dodge drudgery, resist repition and bedevil their teachers. They may also become innovators, inventors, and creative forces of the future -They don't conform to social standards (not convergent thinkers who choose the correct answer on exams)
