Human Development Review Flashcards
Correlational Study
stats on 2 variables. Knowing one makes the other possible
Independent Variable
different variable on ex group than control grp
Dependent Variable
comparing ex grp and control grop=outcome
Information Processing
process for cog functional ALL age groups
Cons for Cross Sectional Research
developmental differences but not change
cohort effects the research
Cons with Correlational Research
Directionality Problem, what if a third variable effects both?
Gene
contain instructions, proteins, segment dna
Alcohol effects
pschopath, hyperactivity, small head, lack of convolutions
Tobacco Effects
Low o2 High Carbon monoxide, low birth weight, fast heartbeat, stillbirth
Effects of Mercury
minimata, paralysis, mental health, limb problems

Appearnce, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, Respiration
7 or higher, 1-5 min after birth
Babinski
toes fan out when touched
Moro
arms and hands fan out when neck is unstable
3 changes in the brain

theory
Sensorimotor

4 factors that characterize attachment
separation distress, happy at reunion, social referencing, proximity seeking
Representation
being able to create a mental image
Object Permanence
knowing something exists even though it is not present

being able to imitate something that is not there. REPEAT
3 Types of Evidence to demonstrate representation
deferred imitation, object permanence, make believe play
Joint Attention
2 individuals focus on an object
Predict Secure attachement x3
consistency, sensitivity, low cortisol
3 Impirical Interventions
Ventral ventral contact, massage, kangaroo care
