Lifespan: Early Influences

Bronfenbrenner’s ecological model

A

Bronfenbrenner described development as involving interactions between the individual and his/her context or environment, and his ecological model describes the context in terms of five environmental systems or levels:

  • microsystem
  • mesosystem
  • exosystem
  • macrosystem
  • chronosystem

visual changes in adulthood

A

After age 65, most individuals experience visual changes that interfere with reading, driving, and other aspects of daily life. In addition to presbyopia (loss of near vision), common changes include loss of visual acuity, reduced perception of depth and color, increased light sensitivity, and deficits in visual search, dynamic vision (perceiving the details of moving objects), and speed in processing what is seen.

preoperational accomplishment

Piaget’s Stages

A

A key accomplishment of the preoperational stage (ages 2 to 7) is the development of the symbolic (semiotic) function, which is an extension of representational thought and permits the child to learn through the use of language, mental images, and other symbols.

93
Q

Lifespan: Cognitive Development

effects of age on memory

A

Several aspects of memory show age-related declines, especially recent long-term (secondary) memory.

Deficits in secondary memory are believed to be due primarily to a reduced spontaneous use of effective encoding strategies.

The working memory aspect of short-term memory also exhibits substantial age-related dec
line.
