Q

What’s the difference between Kleinfelter,Turner and Rett’s?

A

– all three disorders are due to sex chromosome abnormalities

-Kleinfelters - Affects males, Extra X Chromosome, develops feminine features

  • Turner - Affects females, only 1 X chromosome, do not develop sex characteristics and are infertile, short stature, stepping fingers, dripping eyelids, receding, or small, lower jaw, and I have like vision problems, skeletal abnormalities.

Rett’s- (AKA “RTY”) Caused by mutation from the MECP2 gene. Affects females. Infants with a disorder develop normally during the first 6 to 18 months then develop characteristic symptoms slow head and brain, loss of speech, motor skills, abnormal hand, movements, sleep, disturbances, breathing abnormalities, and seizures. Children also have autistic symptoms during the early stages of the disorder.

25
According to Vygotsky, what is the purpose of make-believe play?
It’s a sociocultural activity that provides children with a **zone of proximal development** in which they can adopt roles and engage in behaviors associated with those roles that they can’t do in every day life. Remember that Make-believe play is associated with the term “zone of proximal development.” Which is a term associated with Vygotsky.
26
Name the differences between Piaget’s primary, secondary and tertiary circular reactions.
**Primary**- occurs in 1 to 4 months of age. When infants focus on their bodies and discover pleasurable actions. “Primary” in this case refers to focusing on self. **Secondary**- Occurs between 4 to 8 months of age. When infants begin interaction with objects in their environment and use them to learn about their world. **Tertiary**- occurs between 12 and 18 months of age and involves exploring the properties of an object and trial and error when using the object.
27
Stages of language learning
**Cooing** 6-8wks. Repeated vowel sounds like “oooo” and “aaaaeeeeoooo” **Babbling** 3-6 mo. Single vowel consonant combinations with sounds from different languages. 9 mo. Babbling begins to narrow to native language. **Echolalia** 9mo. Repeating sounds and words uttered by another person without understanding their meeting. **Comprehension stage** 8-9mo **Reproduction stage** 10-15mo **Holophrastic speech** 12-15mo. Using one word to express an entire idea. Example: Saying “juice” for “I want juice”, “I finished my juice”, or “I spilled my juice.” **Telegraphic speech** 18-24 mo. Using two words to express an entire thought. “Want juice.”
28
Critical period for acquisition of syntax in a first language.
First year of life.
29
Name and describe three types of language errors
**Overextension** Using a word to broadly, like using the word dog to refer to all furry four-legged animals. **underextension** using a word to narrowly. Like using the word dog to only refer to the family pet. **overregularization** when a child miss applies rules for plurals and past tense. For instance, “foots” instead of “feet” or “telled” instead of “told.”
30
What is paralanguage?
It refers to **how** something is said rather than **what** is said, which can modify the meaning of what was said or to express emotion. Also includes non-words like “huh” and “umm”
31

34
Canalization
The extent to which genotype restricts phenotype to limited number of developmental outcomes regardless of environmental circumstances. In other words, the restriction of phenotype by genotype.
35
What does the vocabulary spurt happen for both babies and what does it include?
At 18 months babies use about 50 words and thereafter acquire additional words very quickly.

41
What is the purpose of knowing the **heritability estimate** for a particular trait in a population?
To be able to **understand if the trait** in that particular population **is due to genetic or environmental factors**.
42
Reflexes that are measured soon after infants are born
**Moro reflex** a.k.a. “startle reflex” – when babies startle I loud noise or movements and in response through their head backs extend their arms and legs, and then curl their arms and legs inward. **Babinski reflex** a.k.a. “Plantar reflex”- when the soul of the babies foot is firmly touched and in response to the babies, big toe moves Backward toward the top of the foot and the other. **Rooting reflex** occurs in response to having the corner of the mouth touched babies turn their heads in the direction of the touch.
43
Deferred imitation
It’s in Piaget‘s cognitive development. Follows the last stage of sensorimotor which is about 18 to 24 months. It’s the ability to imitate a complex action after a period time when the model is no longer present. Doesn’t occur until the infant can form enduring representations.
44

48
What is the “perfect storm” in regards to adolescent sleep deprivation?
The combination of biological, societal, and psychosocial factors: **Biological**-delayed sleep onset during is a result of changes in secretion of melatonin. **Societal** factors: early starting times for school **Psychosocial** factors – autonomy, overtimes, increase academic pressure, and excessive screen time in the evening. Early start time and excessive screen time are the two primary factors in adolescent sleep deprivation.

Name the types of abnormalities associated with the following: -sex-link -chromosome deletion -autosomal.
**chrom. Deletion**-Prater Willy, angelman, Cri-du Chat. **sex-link**- Klinefelter (XXY), Turner (X) , Rhett **Autosomal**- down syndrome: Trisomy 21, Mosaic trisomy 21, translocation trisomy 21, PKU, hemophilia
50
What are the differences between infant rooting, Morrow reflex and Babinski, and grasp reflex?
**Rooting**- touch the side of the baby face and it starts to root to feed **Morrow**- sudden movement with the baby feels like it’s falling, and it extends his hands and arms and arch his back. **Babinski**-stroking the bottom of the foot causes the infant to curl its toes **Grasp**- put object in infant hand, and it will curl its fingers around it.
51
52
What are Harlow & Zimmerman known for?
Contact comfort research using Rhesus monkey experiments
53
54
Bowlby’s 4 stages of Attachment and when do these stages occur in a human’s lifetime?
In the first 2 years of life occur the following stages: 1. Pre attachment (0-2m) 2. Attachment-in-the-making (2-7m) 3. Clear-cut attachment (7m-2y) 4. Formation of reciprocal relationships (2y+)
55
What are similarities between Schaefer and Emerson’s attachment theory and Bowlby’s theory?
