Q

who determines sex of baby?

A

father

22
Q

genotype

A

an individuals inherited genes

23
Q

phenotype

A

expression of the individuals genoytype in observable traits

24
Q

dominant- recessive inheritance

A
  • homozygous (XX)
  • heterozygous (Xy)
  • dominant allelle expressed in phenotype, recessive still inheritable
25
Q

polygenic inheritance

A

expression of trait is determined by the interaction of multiple genes

26
Q

co-dominance inheritance

A

when 2 dominant allelles equally are expressed to produce comproise phenotype

27
Q

sex-linked inheritance

A

genes expressed on X chromosome, sex linked recessive gene disorders are less common in females

28
Q

behaviourist view

A
  • nurture

- external factors alone influence development

29
Q

genetic view

A
  • nature

- development inherited all from genes

30
Q

nature vs nurture

A

most people believe they work together

31
Q

canalization principle

A

dictates that all individuals are restricted to a similar phenotype dispite variations in their enviroment

32
Q

range of reactions principle

A

how our genotype limits us to a range of possible phenotypes and how the enviroment guides our phenotype within that range

33
Q

Passive correlations

A

this enviroment cjoice will likely reflect your genes (reflect how parents raised you)

34
Q

Evocative Correlations

A

traits you have inhertited affect how other react to and behave towards us

35
Q

Active Correlations

A

this enviroment change will reflect your genes (natural athletic ability > try out for hockey team)

36
Q

twin studies

A

allow us to look at the relative contribution of genes and the enviroment

37
Q

Critical period / Sensitive period

A
  • now sensitive period

- a specific time window that certain experiences are required for normal development

38
Q

critical period for vision

A

4-6 weeks of age

39
Q

implications of critical period

A
  • likely to impact parental decisions
  • likely to impact decision to adopt
  • affects public policy on child intervention
40
Q

problems with critical periods

A

-extreme cases not necessarily comparable

41
Q

brain circuitry

A

brain remains malleable thoughtout lifespan

42
Q

experience expected brain growth

A

ordinary levels of visuals, auditory, and social imput ensure that brain properly develops

43
Q

experience dependent brain growth

A

our brains develops according ti our own personal experiences

44
Q

piaget

A
  • suggest specific stages each with specific characeristics
  • children have better grasp on reality than he thought
  • but he still made major contribution
45
Q

fluid intelligence

A

the speed of our intellectual processing decreases with age

46
Q

crystallized intelligence

A

our accumulated knowledge can inrease with age

47
Q

marmellow experiment

A

high restraint children have shown to later in life have better performance across a variety of measures

48
Q

John B Watson

A

said enviroment input was the most importatnt part of development

49
Q

synaptic pruning

A

many more synaptic nerves in infant than adult

50
Q

Mozart affect lasts ____

A

~15 minutes

51
Q

babbling principle

A

all infants babble same speech sounds

canalization principle

52
Q

cross-sequential design

A

a research design that combines cross-sectional and longitudinal studies
