Development (Lecture + Chapter) Flashcards
Germinal (Zygotic) Period
around the 9th day the ball of cells implants in the uterus and cells quickly start to specialize
conception-2 wks
Embryonic Period
sensitive period, cells are developing quickly and creating organ systems
2-8 wks
Fetal Period
8 weeks on, growth and maturation
Rubella
can damage the brain, auditory+visual systems, the whole body
Thalidomide Experiment
drug given to pregnant women to prevent miscarriage and caused babies to be born without arms or legs
Toxoplasmosis

Alcohol
associated w FAS, small baby w small brain+head, wide-set eyes, cognitive development issues (memory, learning, attention span, communication), vision and hearing issues

Stages of Cognitive Development
sensorimotor (birth- 2 yrs), preoperational (2-7), concrete operational (7-11), formal operational (11+)
Sensorimotor
egocentric, no object permanence, basic pretend play, imitation
birth-2 yrs
Pre-Operational
intuitive reasoning, pretend play, big imagination, language development, not good at logical thinking (such as three mountains task and conservation of liquid test
2-7 yrs
Concrete Operational
can think logically if right in front of them, not good w hypotheticals
7-11 yrs
Formal Operational
abstract thinking, can think logically about hypotheticals
11+
