question
Science of human development
answer
the science that seeks to understand how and why people of all ages and circumstances change or remain the same over time
question
Scientific method
answer
a way to answer questions using empirical research and data-based conclusions Steps: 1. Begin with curiosity- pose a question, guided by a theory, research or observation 2. Develop a hypothesis- shape the question into a hypothesis(testable prediction) 3. Test the hypothesis- Conduct research to gather empirical evidence(data) 4. Draw conclusions- use the evidence to support or refute the hypothesis 5. Report the results- Share data, conclusions, limitations and alternative explanations * Replication- is considered a sixth step which helps refine, reject, or confirm the hypothesis by repeating the procedures and methods of a study with different participants
question
Nature vs nurture
answer
refers to the genes we inherit vs all environmental influences that affect the individual * Development is the result of both nature and nurture
question
epigenetics
answer
The study of how environmental factors affect genes and genetic expression - enhancing, halting, shaping or altering the expression of genes
question
differential susceptibility
answer
the idea that people vary in how sensitive they are to particular experiences
question
Three domains(approaches) of human development
answer
1. biological(biosocial)-includes all the growth and change that occur in a person's body and the genetic, nutritional and health factors that affect that growth and change; motor skills etc. 2. cognitive- mental processes that a person uses to obtain knowledge or to think about the environment, problem solving skills, memory, language etc. 3. psychosocial- interactions, temperament, social skills, emotions etc. (Family friends community and culture are central to this domain)
question
life span-perspective
answer
an approach to the study of human development that takes into account all phases of life *this approach has led to the realization that human development is multi-directional, multi-contextual, multicultural , and plastic
question
aspects of development 1. Multi-directional
answer
Over time, human characteristics change in every direction (gain and losses) *continuous process
question
2. Mutil-contextual
answer
-; takes place within many contexts, including physical surroundings (climate, noise, population) and family configurations( married couple, single parent, etc) 1.Historical Context- All persons born within a few years of one another are said to be a cohort, a group defined by the shared age of its members (Cohort events i.e.; Children of the Great Depression) 2.Socioeconomic Context- A person's position in society as determined by income, wealth, occupation, education, and place of residence.
question
3. Development is cultural
answer
* Many cultures affect how people develop -culture: patterns of behavior passed from one generation to the next; a system of shared beliefs, norms, behaviors and expectations that persist over time and prescribe social behavior and assumptions; culture is a powerful social construction -social constructions: idea that is built on shared perceptions, not on objective early..they are strongly influenced by social assumptions ->Types of social constructions: 1.ethnic group: people whose ancestors were born in the same region and who often share a language, culture, and religion 2.race: a group of people who are regarded by themselves or by others are distinct form there groups on the basis of physical appearance
question
4. Development is plastic
answer
* Every individual, and every trait within each person, can be altered at any point in the life span. Change is ongoing, although neither random nor easy * one of most encouraging tenets of the lifespan perspective *human traits can be molded and yet people maintain a certain durability Dynamic-systems approach: *"Development is plastic" is an example of this approach - system is a view of human development as an ongoing, ever changing interaction between physical, cognitive and psychosocial influences *the brain is an example of plasticity
question
Development is multidisciplinary
answer
-Genetics and neuroscience are two of the newer disciplines in lifespan research. Every trait—psychological as well as physical—is influenced by genes.
question
critical vs sensitive period
answer
critical- a time when a particular type of developmental growth (in body or behavior) must happen for normal development to occur VS Sensitive- a time when a certain type of development is most likely, although it may still happen later with more difficulty. For example) early childhood is considered a sensitive period for language learning
question
Continuous vs discontinuous change
answer
continuous- gradual development in which achievements at one level build on those of previous levels -qualitative change, ie. change in height/weight -implies a continuity from one stage to the next discontinuous- development that occurs in distinct steps or stages -qualitatively different
question
Theories of human development
answer
1. freud, erikson, piaget
question
1. Developmental theory
answer
group of ideas, assumptions, and generalizations that interpret an illuminate though sands of observations about human growth
question
2. psychoanalytic theory
answer
a theory of human development that holds that irrational, unconscious drives and motives, often originating in childhood, underlie human behavior
question
freud
answer
-psychoanalytic approach suggests that unconscious forces act to determine personality and behavior -psychosexual development theory: series of stages that children pass through, pleasure being the main focus
question
frauds psychosexual development stages
answer
1. oral (birth -18 months, infants): lips, tongue and gums are focus. ex sucking 2. anal (18m - 3,early childhood): anus is the focus, toliet training is the most important activity 3. Phallic (3-6,preschool years): penis is most important part and pleasure is derived from genital stimulation, Boys are proud of their penises and girls wonder why they don't have one 4. Latency (6- adolescence:: interlude during which sexual needs are quiet and children put psychic energy into conventional activities like school and sports 5. Genital (adolescence to adulthood) : genitals are the focus; sexual stimulation and relationships ***Discontinuous process
question
Eriksons Psychosocial approach
answer
-series of developmental stages that build on each other -discontinuous process infancy 0-1: trust vs mistrust (trust basic needs will be cared for) infancy 1-2: autonomy vs shame and doubt (self sufficient or doubt abilities) early childhood: initiative vs guilt middle childhood: industry vs inferiority (learn to be confident or feel inferior) Adolescence: identity vs role confusion( who am i?) Young adulthood: intimacy vs isolation ( seek companionship and love or become isolated) Middle adulthood: generatively vs stagnation ( contribute to next generation( raise family, work etc) or they stagnate Late adulthood: integrity vs despair ( make sense out of their lives..was it meaningful or are there regrets? )
question
Piagets cognitive developmental theory
answer
-Focuses on the processes that allow people to know, understand, and think about the world. -How people think changes with time and experience and this thinking influences actions and behavior * each persons ideas and beliefs are crucial (0-2)stage 1 sensorimotor: knowing by sensing and acting (2-7)stage 2 pre operational: concept forming, symbolic reasoning (7-11)stage 3 concrete operations: logical operations on concrete objects and events (12+)stage 4 formal operations: abstracts, analogies, metaphors etc. Assumptions: the growth of children's understandings of the world can be explained by : 1. assimilation (new experience incorporated into current way of thinking) 2. accommodation( existing ways of thinking change as a result of new stimuli)
question
Know the behavioral perspective of learning with behaviorists, the classical conditioning.
answer
Banduras social learning theories Operant conditioning with Skinner Know Brofenbrenner's bio ecological approach Vygotsky's socio cultural theory.
question
Behaviorism
answer
theory of human development that studies observable behavior, also called learning theory because it desrcibes the laws and processes by which behavior is learned -reject idea that people pass through series of stages but instead development occurs due to continuous EXPOSURE to specific factors in the environment. i.e. classical conditioning *emphasize nurture
question
classical conditioning
answer
pavlov; any behavior can be produced by controlling the environment
question
Banduras social learning theory
answer
-human beings learn from others, by observation, even without any reinforcement..also called MODELING
question
Operant conditioning (skinner)
answer
-voluntary response is strengthened or weakened BASED on its association with positive or negative consquences -used in behavior modification -REINFORCEMENT vs PUNISHMENT
question
Systems theory to understand development (Von Bertalanffy)
answer
-system is not the total sum of its parts but is characterized by wholeness and unity -can be closed or open
question
Bioecological approach (Brofenbrenner)
answer
*suggests that different environmental levels simultaneously influence individuals 1. microsystem( everyday environment) - home, parents, friends etc 2. mesosystems (connects part of microsystem) - parents are linked to children, friends to friend etc 3. ecosystem (represents broader influences ) - local government, schools ,places of worship 4. macro system ( reprints larger cultural influence )- federal government, society, religious and political value systems
question
Vygotskys Sociocultural theory
answer
emphasizes how development proceeds as a result of social interactions between members of a culture
question
cognitive neuroscience approach
answer
- seeks to identify actual locations in the brain related to different cognitive activity -brain scanning techniques
question
using scientific method: independent vs dependent variables
answer
independent- variable that is introduced to see what effect it has on the dependent variable dependent variable- variable that may change as a result of whatever new condition or situation the experimenter adds
question
experimental group vs control group
answer
experimental- gets a particular treatment (IV) control- does not get the treatment (placebo)
question
Studying development over the lifespan: types of research
answer
1. cross sectional- groups of people of one age are compared with people of another 2. longitudinal- collecting data repeatedly on the same individuals as they age 3. cross sequential - study several groups of people of different ages (cross sectional)and follow them over the years (longitudinal)
question
correlation vs causation
answer
correlation: exists between two variables if one variable is more or less likely to occur when the other does 1. positive- both variables tend to increase or decree together 2. negative- one variable tends to increase while the other dereases 3. zero correlation- no connection is evident **correlation is NOT causation
question
how to decide methology: quantitative vs qualitative research
answer
quantitative- provides data that can be expressed with numbers, such as scales qualitative- considers qualities instead; descriptions of particular conditions and expressed ideas are often uses in these studies
question
ethical concerns
answer
invading privacy harming them consent deception etc. *research needs to be valid, useful and ETHICAL
question
Humanism
answer
theory that stresses the potential of all humans, who have the same basic needs, regardless of culture gender or background -maslow hierarchy of needs
question
Maslows hierarchy
answer
1. physiological- needing food, water, warmth , air 2. safety- feeling protected from injury and death 3. love and belonging- having loving friends, family and community 4. esteem- being respected by the wider community and oneself 5. self actualization- becoming truly oneself , fulfilling ones potential

genetic interactions: -polygenic -multifactorial
answer
polygenic- affected by many genes multifactorial- influenced by many factors *almost every trait is both of these things
question
regulator genes
answer
direct the interactions of other genes, controlling their genetical expression, duplication and transcription *are responsible for differences between species

question
norm
answer
an average calculated from many individuals within a specific group or population
question
what correlates with health and growth? and how does sleep vary ?
answer
regular and ample sleep - sleep varies because of biology ( age and genes) and the social environment( culture and caregivers) ex. if baby is given a lot of formula, it may have no problem going to sleep versus the baby whose caregivers give it less formula
question
how much sleep do newborns get?
answer
they get about 15- 17 hours a day -this sleep is "active sleep" which is the ability to awaken when someone rouses them but mostly dozing off. -half the sleep is REM sleep *infant brain patterns and hunger needs do not allow them to sleep quietly for long stretches

question
How is language learned so easily and so well? theories:
answer
1- infants need to be taught -> BF skinner noticed babbling is reinforced, frequent repetition of words 2.social interaction approach: fosters infant language 3. infants teach themselves- learning is innate, adult doesn't need to teach it nor is it a by product of social interaction (chomsky developed LAD , language acquisition device, which enables children to learn language, includes basic aspects of grammar, vocal and intonation) *all perspective offer inside into language acquisition..current thinking suggests that all theories are combined
