MidTerm Review Flashcards
5 perspectives of development
Biological, Psychodynamic, Learning, Cognitive-Development, Contextual.
3 Newer approaches to development
Information processing theory, Evolutionary developmental theory, developmental psychopathology.
4 themes of development
early development is related to later development but not perfectly, development is always jointly influenced by hereditary and environment, children help determine their own development, development in different domains is always connected.
Measurement
systematic observation: natural and structured, sampling behaviours with tasks, self-report, reliability, validity- convergent and divergent.
Representative sampling
population, and sample
Experimental studies
independent and dependent variables and field experiments
Correlation sampling
positive and negative correlation
longitude studies, sequential design, cohort effect, cross- sectional studies
ethical responsibility
What are chromosomes?

What does DNA stand for?
Deoxyribonucleic acid.

Phenotype is?
