Q

What are the three methods that are used to determine the degree of genetic influence on individual differences between people?

A
  • Family studies
  • Twin studies
  • Adoption studies
133
Q

What are family studies? Why is it limited?

A
  • Compare rates of a given trait among family members to those among unrelated individuals
  • Limited since family studies cannot distinguish between shared environmental factors and genetic factors
134
Q

What do twin studies compare?

A

Concordance rates between monozygotic (identical) and dizygotic (fraternal) twins

135
Q

What do adoption studies compare?

A

Similarities between adopted children and their adopted parents, relative to similarities with their biological parents

136
Q

When does neurulation occurs? How? What does it form?

A
  • At 3 to 4 weeks of gestation
  • The ectoderm overlying the notochord begins to furrow
  • Forming a neural groove surrounded by two neural folds
137
Q

What are the cells at the leading edge of the neural fold called? What will they do?

A
  • Neural crest, which will migrate throughout the body to form disparate tissues
138
Q

The remainder of the furrow closes to form what? Which will ultimately form what?

A
  • Neural tube

- Central nervous system

139
Q

What are the two plates of the neural tube? What do they differentiate into?

A
  • Alar plate, differentiates into sensory neurons

- Basal plate, differentiates into motor neurons

140
Q

What are primitive reflexes?

A

Reflexes in infants that disappear with age

141
Q

What is the rooting reflex?

A

Infants react automatically by turning their head in the direction of a stimulus that touches their cheek (nipple during feeding)

142
Q

What is the Moro reflex? When should it disappear? When is it abnormal to still have it? What can asymmetry hint towards?

A
  • Infants react to abrupt movements of their heads by flinging out their arms, then slowly retracting their arms and crying
  • Should disappear after four months
  • One year is a strong suggestion of developmental difficulties
  • Asymmetry = underlying neuromuscular problems
143
Q

What is the Babinski reflex?

A

Infants react automatically when the sole of their foot is stimulated; big toe extends while the other toes fan outwards

144
Q

What is the grasping reflex?

A

Occurs when the infant closes his or her fingers around an object placed in his or her hand

145
Q

What are gross motor skills? Give examples.

A
  • Incorporate movements from large muscle groups and whole body motion
  • Sitting, crawling, walking
146
Q

What are fine motor skills? Give examples.

A
  • Involve the smaller muscles of the fingers, toes and eyes

- Drawing, catching, waving

147
Q

When does stranger anxiety and separation anxiety develop?

A

Stranger anxiety: 7 months

Separation anxiety: 1 year

148
Q

What is parallel play? When does it develop?

A
  • Children will play alongside each other without influencing each other’s behaviour
  • 2 years old
