Q

Kohlberg 6 stages of development (orientations)

A
Preconventional

do something to avoid punishment 
2 - instrumental
do something bc it is beneficial to you 
Conventional
3 - good boy/nice girl
social reputation. emphasis on social relationships

Q

Freud 5 Psychosexual stages of development

A

1 - Oral (0-18 months)
2 - Anal (12-18 months to 3 years)
3 - Phallic/Oedipal (3-6 years)
4 - Latency (6-12 years)
channeling oedipal energies in a socially productive way
5 - Genital (puberty - adulthood)

Q

Motor

A

development of bones, muscle +ability to move around and manipulate/interact with one’s physical environment
consists of fine/gross motor skills

gross motor = large muscles –> more general movement
fine motor = small muscles –> more precise movement

Q

Genetic/Natural Risk Factors

A
Genetic endowment (inheritance)
Temperament (individual personality)
22
Q

Environmental Risk Factors

A

Family
Nutrition
Peer Group –> social relationships outside of the family
Rest, Sleep, Exercise
Living Environment –> season, climate, community life, SE status, physical environment, exposure to pollutants
Political/Policy Environment –> policies that impact individual health
Health Environment –> access to healthcare

23
Q

Interacting Factors (combines previous factors)

A

Prenatal health –> biological/maturational factors + environmental factors
Life Experiences –> biological + environmental factors
Health status –> intrinsic + extrinsic factors

24
Q

Lifespan of women vs. men

A
Women = 83
Men = 78
25
Q

2 Views on Biological Aging

A

Stochastic (Error)

Nonstochastic (Programmed/Predetermiend)

26
Q

Stochastic Biological Aging

A

Aging caused by random cellular damage + errors in DNA/RNA synthesis.

1 - Wear & Tear
2 - Cross-linking
3 - Oxidative Stress (Free radicals)

27
Q

Nonstochastic

A

Cellular age/death is programmed/predetermined
cells have a limited number of replication cycles before they die
Inner Biological Clock Theory

28
Q

3 subconcepts of development

A

growth
differentiation
maturation

29
Q

Developmental Age Groups (9)

30
Q

body systems, muscle, bones

31
Q

Motor Development

A

development of muscles and bones
growth in movement and ability to interact with physical environment
gross & fine motor skills “refinement”

32
Q
