What are the expected outcomes of these overlapping processes of each period of development? (middle and late childhood)
fundamental skills
mastery (reading, writing, math)
increased self-control
achievement
What are the expected outcomes of these processes of each period of development? (early childhood)

What are the expected outcomes of these overlapping processes of each period of development? (infancy)

3 important processes in human development
biological processes
cognitive processes
socioemotional processes
Fetal MRI
magnet and radio images
detail image of body organs and structure
Purpose: helps detect abnormalities (central nervous system, chest, genitals/urinals)
Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS)
small sampling of tissue from the placenta to test for chromosomal abnormalities and genetic problems (Down syndrome)
small risk of limb deformity, test baby sex, Info on whether to abort)
non shared environmental experiences
child’s own unique experiences
how can we use polygenetic scores to capture influences of children’s environment
individual differences in developmental trajectories
intergenerational transmission
peer influences on child development
resilience and positive development
ultrasound
high frequency sound waves
echoes transformed into visual representation
purpose: detects abnormalities, # of fetuses, clues about sex
stage 2 of birth
baby’s head starts to move through the cervix and birth canal
stage 1 of birth
uterine contractions cause women’s cervix to stretch and dilate 4 in. (longest stage)

amniocenteses
small sampling of amniotic fluid to test birth defects
risks: small risk of miscarriage, later=greater diagnostic potential, sooner=more knowledge for handling pregnancy
maternal blood screening
identify pregnancies w/ heightened risks of birth defects
triple screen substance
how to generate ideas/researchable questions?
correlational/ association study (describe events as they naturally occur)
experimental study
what do we study?
how parents nurture children
how peers interact
children’s develop over time
screen time and overweight
special care repair neglect
if mentoring can improve children’s achievement
stage 3 of birth
afterbirth
shortest stage
placenta, umbilical cord detach
