4 Domains of Human Development:
- affective
- motor
- cognitive
- physical
Development:
changes we experience as we go through life
Development is viewed as a _____ system: ____ ____ process, extending from _____ to _____.
- dynamic
- perpetually ongoing
- concept to birth
Development is molded by a complex network of ______, _______, ______ ______, and ______ influences.
- biological
- psychological
- social
- cultural
- historical
Maturation:
aspects of development that are primarily genetic and relatively uninfluenced by the environment
Experience:
environmental influences
4 things that development is:
- lifelong
- multidimensional and multidirectional
- highly plastic
- affected by multiple, interacting forces
Cognitive domain:
- things surrounding intellectual development
- brain function
Affective domain:
social-emotional
Motor domain:
- human movement
- developing motor skills
Physical domain:
- all types of development involving bodily change
- ex. weight, height
Give examples of interacting domains.
- sport performance influenced by emotional state
- muscular strength (physical) can influence athletic performance (motor)
- person’s body mass (physical) can influence their feelings of self worth (affective)
Give examples of maturation/biology.
- height
- learning how to walk
Give examples of experience/environment.
- learning language, vocabulary
- reading books
- self esteem, feelings of self worth
How is development lifelong?
- no single age period that is superior to the other
- each period has its own unique demands and opportunities
How is development multidimensional?
- biological
- psychological
- social
- cultural
- historical influences
How is development multidirectional?
- growth and decline within each age period
- ex. child decides to focus on sports more than arts
- people can develop skills at all ages within personal an environmental limits
- ex. over time, cognition may decline, but wisdom may increase
How is development highly plastic?
- at all ages, we are able to learn new things
- over time, development becomes less plastic
- varies within people
How is development affected by multiple interacting forces?
- pathways of change are diverse
- forces can be categorized into normative and non normative
Development is affected by what 2 multiple interacting forces?
- normative influences
- non-normative influences
What are the 2 types of normative influences?
- age graded
- history graded
What are age graded influences?
- strongly related to age
- highly predictable for when they occur, how long they last
- often influenced by biology but can be influenced by social customs as well
Give examples of age graded influences.
- learning how to walk
- puberty
- getting license at 16
What are history graded influences?
- influenced by forces unique to a specific era
- can explain why different cohorts tend to be more alike than other cohorts
- can be due to generations
Give example history graded influences.
- depression
- war
- technological advances
- millennials: ipads, smartphones
Non-normative influences:
- not dependent on age
- vary by person
- ex. having a good teacher
Neuroplasticity:
the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life
Give an example of neuroplasticity.
