<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>British empiricist school of thought</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Hobbes, Hume, Mill, Locke; all knowledge gained through experience-tabula rasa at birth; mold child through parents</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Rousseau</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>society actually a detriment to optimal development</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Functionalist System of Thought</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>studying the mind as it functioned to help individuals adapt to environment; individual differences; Darwin</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Stanley Hall</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Father of Developmental psych; empirical research w/ kids, Founder of APA</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>John Watson</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Believer in influence of environment, huge focus on parents, believed emotions and thought through learning; huge Behavioralist</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Arnold Gesell</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Development occures as a biological process, regardless of practice/training; “Nativist”</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Psychodynamic Orientation perspective</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Originated w/ Freud, stress role of subconscious conflicts in development of functioning and personality</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Cognitive Structuralist Perspective</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Piaget, children active in own development, how construct knowledge of the world through experience</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Sequential Cohort Studies</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Combine longitudinal and cross-sectional, several groups of different ages studied over time</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Gregor Mendel</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Initiated study of genetics, basic unit of heredity=gene; alternative form was allele, controlled gene’ either dominant or recessive</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Genotype</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>total genetic complement</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Phenotype</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>expressed trait</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Chromosome</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>location of genes, 23rd=sex gene; 23 pairs of chromosomes per nucleus (diploid)</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Haploid</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Gametes (sperm & egg cells) only have 23 individual chromosomes</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>R.C. Tryon</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>studied maze running ability of rats; determined if maze bright/dull, or middle; selective breeding; skills intensified over generations</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Lewis Terman</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>first to study gifted childrem, large school longitudinal</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Down’s Syndrome</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>extra 21st chromosome, more common with older parents</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>PKU</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Penylketonuria, degenerative disease of nervous system, enzyme to digest phenylalanine is missing</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Klinefelter’s Syndrome</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Extra X chromosome in males, sterile and typically mentally challenged</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Turner’s Syndrome</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Females w/ only 1 X chromosome, cant develop secondary sex characteristics, other physical abnormalities</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Zygote</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Fertilized egg</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Germinal Period</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Egg travels down tube, implanted in uterine wall, 2 weeks</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Embryonic Stage</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>8 weeks, increase in size by 2million percent, </p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Fetal Period</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>3rd month, measurable electrical activity in the brain, </p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Moro Reflex</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Abrupt movement of head, fling out arms, then hugging self</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Babinski Reflex</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Toes spread when foot stimulated</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Schema</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Piaget, organized patterns of behavior and/or thought; repeated experience teaches</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Adaption</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Through assimilation (interpreting new info in terms of old schema) & Accomodation (modifying existing schema to encompass)</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Piaget’s 4 Stages</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, formal operational</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Sensorimotor Stage</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>birth-2yrs; Object Permanence & primary & secondary circular reactions (repeated actions to achieve goals; primary is self, secondary other objects</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Preoperational Stage</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>2-7 years; begin representational thought; Centration,</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Centration</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Only able to focus on one aspect of a phenomenon ( cant take anothers perspective; egocentrism) Conservation-change shape, same volume</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>Concrete Operational Stage</p>
<p class=”large” style=”text-align:center”;>7-11; difficulty with abstract though, mastered conservation</p>
