what are the characteristics of lifespan development
lifespan development is: …
Co-Constructive - each realm builds on each other there are multiple influences ,
Biological in a ay
Multiple influences involved
Plastic
Contextual
Plastic
what are the 5 difference systems of BronfenBrenner’s
MicroSystem - things that have direct contact with the child in thier immediate enfironment
Meso - ind microsystems are interconnected andasert influence on eahc other
ExoSystem- other formal/informal structures, that influence the micro systems thatthen ifnluence the child
Macro - cultural elements that affect kid’s develoment
Chrono - shifts and transitions over a kids lifetime
examples of microsystems
siblings, parents, teahcres, fam members
examples of meso system
hwo the microsystems interact
examples of exo system
parents’ hard job affecting the mood they;’re in when iwth the child
examples of macro system
poverty, cutlure, soical issues,
eample of chrono systems
moving cities, being adopted, new school
diff between qualatative and quantative change
still confused
Quantative - increaesed in amoutn of ability a child already has -
Qualatative - fundamnetal transformation in a child’s ability over time - small increases in time. small increases in amount over time
what are the 2 questions Pertinent to study the individual differences
confused
Are there Universal Laws?
What makes us different from each other?
To what Extenet are individual difference sstable over time
what are the 4 main aspects of theoretical frameworks
Biological Maturationist
Environemtnal Learning
Constructivist
Cultural Context
one of the 4 main theoretical frameworks - biological maturionist is?
says the major factor for age related change in Nature - an organism’s biological heritage
Major cause of development is Maturations - genetic patterns of change throughout one’s life
one of the 4 main theoretical frameworks - Environemntal Learning is?
age related change** (Nurture)** is influenced by experience, highlighitng ongoing quantative transformations
one of the 4 main theoretical framework Constructivist Framework is?
says **Nature and Nurture are Equal **to each other in terms of child’s influence
diff between quantative change and qualatative change
Qualatative - change in someone where new abilities and behaviours** emerge** that are diff than waht existed before - a shift in kind not just a degree
Quantative - refers to change in amount of skill - better or worse
changes can be measured - be larger or smaller - but still the same sill
one of the 4 main theoretical framework Cultural Context
believes both __ and __ are active agents in develoment
biological heritage and environmental influences and ind’s culture ‘mediate’ the interaction between nurture and nature influence Qualatative changes
believes both Child and Adult are active agents in develoment
