Q

Causes of Alzheimer disease

A

involves a deficiency in the brain messenger chemical acetylcholine, which plays a important role in memory. as Alzheimer disease progresses, the brain shrinks and deteriorates. this deteriorates is characterized by the formation of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. research consist that Tau and Amyloid play on Alzheimer disease. Also oxidative stress.

Q

Treatment for Parkinson

A

involves administration drugs that enhance the effect of dopamine( dopamine agonist) in the disease earlier stages and later administering the drug L-dopa, which is converted by the brain into dopamine. However it is difficult to determine the correct dosage of L-dupa and it loses its efficiency over time. Another treatment for advance Parkinson disease is deep brain stimulation (DBS), which involves implanting electrodes in the brain. The electrodes are then stimulated by a pacemaker like device. stem cells transplantation and gene therapy offers future hope to treating Parkinson disease.

Q

for infancy

A

the importance of receiving adequate energy intake and nutrients in loving and supportive environment cannot be overstated. from to a year of age, human infants triple their weight and increase their length by 50%. because infants vary their nutrient reserves, body composition, growth rates and actives patterns, their nutrients needs vary as well. Infants should consumer 50 calories per pound in their weight, 2x more as an adult.

a theory proposed by Esther Helen that seeks to explain how infants assemble motor skills for perceiving. (page 155)

54
Q

reflex

A

allows infants to respond adaptively to their environment before they have had the opportunity to learn (page 156)

55
Q

Rooting reflex

A

a newborn built in reaction that occurs when the infant cheek is stroked or the side of the mouth is touched. in response, the infant turns their head towards the side that was touched, in an apparent effort to find something to suck.

56
Q

Sucking Reflex

A

A newborns reaction of sucking an object placed in its mouth. The sucking reflex enables the infant to get nourishment before it has begun to associate a nipple with food

57
Q

Moro Reflex

A

a startle response that occurs in reaction to a sudden, intense noise or movement. when startled, the newborn arches its back, and throws its head back, and flies out its arm and legs. Then the newborn rapidly closes its arm and legs to the center of the body

58
Q

Grasping reflex

A

a reflex that occurs when something touches an infants palms. the infant responds by grasping tightly

59
Q

66
Q

Adolescence and adulthood

A

Gross motor skills improve during adolescence. most of us reach our peak performance before age 30, often between the age 19 to 26. when someone reaches the age 30, most biological function begins to decline although the decline of specific organs can vary considerably. Can decline at a rate of 0.75 to 1% a year Declines often occurs in cardiovascular functioning, muscle strength, bone density( mostly females), neural function, balance and flexibility.

67
Q

Movement and aging

A

Older adults take longer to move than young adults, and this change occurs across a range of movement difficulties.

68
Q

Fine motor skills(FMS)

A

Motor skills that involves finely tuned movements, such as any activity that requires finger dexterity.

69
Q

infancy Fine motor skills(162)

A

Infants hardly has control over Fine motor skills at brith, but newborns do have many components of what will become finely coordinated arms, hands and finger movements. The onset of reaching and grasping marks a significant milestone for infants, increasing ability to interact with their surroundings. infants refine their ability to grasp objects by developing two types of grasp. Vary from size, texture and shape.

70
Q

Palmer grasp

A

Infants grips with the whole hand

71
Q

Pincer grip

A

towards the end of the first year, infants also grasp small objects with their thumbs and forefingers.

72
Q

Perceptual motor coupling

A

is necessary for the infant to coordinate grasping. four months reply on touch to determine how they will grasps an object. 8 months are likely to use vision as a guide.

73
Q

Childhood and adolescence fine motor skills

A

as children grow older their fine motor skills improve. at age 3 children can use their thumb and forefingers to pickup small objects but clumsy. By age 4 their FMS coordination is more precise. Increased myelination of the central nervous system is reflected in the improvement of FMS during middle and late childhood.(page 163)

74
Q

Adult Fine motor skills

A

FMS may undergo some decline in middle and late adulthood as dexterity decreases, although for the most people, FMS such as reaching and grasping, continue to be performed in functional ways . But pathological conditions may result in weakness and paralysis of a person hands, in which case performance of fine motor skills may be impossible.

75
Q

Sensation and perception

How do Newborns know thats their mother skin is soft or rough?

A

they know this by senses

76
Q

sensation

A

reaction that occurs when information interacts with sensory receptors the eye, ears, tongue, nostrils and skins. (page 165)

77
Q

Perception

A

The interpretation of sensation

78
Q

Ecological view

A

the view proposed by the Gibsons that people directly perceive info in the world around them. Perception brings people in contact with the environment in order to interact with it and adapt to it

79
Q

affordances

A

Opportunities for interaction offered by objects that fit within our capabilities to perform activities

80
Q

Visual Perception

A

Some important changes in visual perception as we age can be traced to difference in how the eye functions over time.It influences how clearly we see an object, colors and stances for example.

81
Q

infancy Visual Perception

A

Psychologist William James called the newborn perceptual world a “blooming, buzzing confusion” but its safely to say he was wrong. The newborn perceives a world with some order. that works, however is far different from the one by the toddler or the adult.

82
Q

Visual preference method

A

Robert Fantz was a pioneer in this effort. Fantz made a important discovery that advanced the ability of researchers to investigate infants visual perception. Page 166

83
Q

Habituation and dishabituation

A

Present a stimulation ( such as sight or sound) a number of times. page 166

84
Q

The Orienting response

A

a technique that can be used to determine whether an infant can see or hear is the orienting response, which involves turning ones head towards a sight or sound. another way, is tracking measures eye movement that follows a moving object; it can be used to see an infants early visual ability. a startle response can be used to determine an infant reaction to a noise.(167)

85
Q

habituation

A

Decreased responsiveness to a stimulus after repeated presentation of the stimulus

86
Q

Dishabituation

A

the recovery of a habituated response after a change in stimulation.

87
Q

Color vision

A

infants color vision improve over time. around 8 week as early to 4 weeks infants can discriminate some colors. (page 169)

88
Q

Perceptual constancy

A

page 169

89
Q

Size constancy

A

recognition that an object remains the same even though the retinal image of the object changes as the viewer moves toward or away from the object. Page 169

90
Q

Shape constancy

A

Recognition that an object remains the same even though its orientation to the viewer changes

91
Q

Depth Perception

A

page 170

92
Q

childhood Visual

A

Changes in children perceptual development continues in childhood. at age 3-4 they become better at detecting boundaries between colors. At age 5-6 children eye muscles develop enough that they can move their eyes efficiently across a series of letters. However many preschoolers are farsighted

93
Q

Adulthood visual

A

visual change little after childhood until the effects of aging emerge. Researchers have found that visual decline in late adulthood is like to cognitive decline, and having fewer social contacts and emerging in less challenging social/leisure activities. with aging, declines in visual acuity, color vision, and depth perception accords. Several diseases of the eye also may emerge in aging adults. (page 170)

94
Q

Accommodation of the eye

A

the eye ability to focus and maintain an image on the retina

95
Q

color vison

A

may decline with age in older adults as a result of the yellowing of the lens of the eye. The decline is most likely to occur in the green blue violet part of the color spectrum

96
Q

Depth perception

A

changes little after infancy until adults become older. Typically declines in late adulthood, which makes it difficult to tell whether something is close or far or how high and low something is.

97
Q

Diseases of the eye

A

3 diseases that can impair the vision of older adults are cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration

98
Q

cataracts

A

a thickening of the lens of the eye that causes vision to become cloudy, opaque and distorted. Can be minimized by glasses, but if worsens a simple surgical procedure can remove the cloudy lens and replace it with a artificial one. Diabetes is a risk for the development of cataracts

99
Q

glaucoma

A

Damage to the optic nerve because of pressure created by a buildup of fluid in the eye. can be treated with eyedrops. if left untreated it can destroy a persons vision

100
Q

macular degeneration

A

a vision problem in the old people that involves deterioration of the macula of the retina. Can be treated with laser eye surgery, but its difficult to treat

101
Q

Fetus, infant, child hearing

A

last two months of pregnancy the baby can hear from inside the womb. a recent study confirmed an infant can hear at 33 to 34 weeks by assessing fetal brain response to auditory stimuli. After birth infants cannot hear soft sounds quiet as well as adults. (page 172)

102
Q

adolescence hearing

A

Most have excellent hearing. but to those who listens to loud sounds has risk to developing hearing problems.

103
Q

Adulthood and aging hearing

A

changes in hearing take place during the adult years until middle adulthood.It’ll start to decline at age 40. page 173-174

104
Q

touch and pain (infancy)

A

newborns do respond to touch. they do feel pain (174)

105
Q

touch and pain (adulthood)

A

page 174

106
Q

Smell

A

newborns can differentiate odors. A decline in sensitivity to odors occurs in the early 20s , continuing through each subsequent decade of life into 90s. A decline in the olfactory system can reduce older adults enjoyment of food and life satisfactions. (page 175)

107
Q

taste

A

sensitivity to taste is present before birth. newborns learn taste prenatally through the amniotic fluid and in breast milk after birth. like smell, There is less decline in taste in healthy adults than in unhealthy adults. However when even relativity healthy older adults take medication, their taste sensitivity declines. (page 175)
