Perspective on Nature vs. Nurutre Flashcards
Focuses on the scientific study of the systematic processes of change and stability in people.
Human Development
Concept of human development as lifelong process, which can be studied scientifically.
Lifespan Development
views development as lifelong, multidimensional, multidirectional, plastic,
multidisciplinary, and contextual, and as a process that involves growth, maintenance, and regulation of loss.
Lifespan Perspective
Domains of Development
Physical Development - Growth of the body and brain, sensory capacities, motor skills, and health. — biological processes that govern our body that affects our development
Cognitive Development - Learning, attention, memory, language, thinking, reasoning, and creativity. — anything that happens into our mind
Psychosocial Development - Emotions, personality, and social relationships. — how others affect you as a person and how you as a person affect other person (naaapektuhan ka ng parenting practices ng magulang mo, ng peers mo. may company na ng ibang tao)
a concept or practice that is an invention of a particular culture or society
Social Construct
which involves the degree to which early traits and characteristics persists through life or change
Stability-Change-Issue
focuses on the degree to which development involves either gradual, cumulative change and distinct stages.
Continuity-Discontinuity
Development that has stages.
Discontinuous
Development that has no stages.
Continuous
Physical changes.
Growth
the unfolding of natural sequence of physical change and behavior patterns
Maturation
functional changes. it encompasses physical, mental, and social aspects.
Development
how a person adapt to the environment.
Learning
scientific study of the extent to which genetic and environmental differences among people and animals are responsible for differences in their traits.
Behavioral Genetics
proportion of all the variability in the trait within a large sample of people that can be linked to genetic differences among those
individuals
Heritability
Who studied the heredity in plants?
Gregor Mendel
involves attempting to breed animals for a particular trait to determine whether the trait is heritable.
Selective Breeding
the percentage of pairs of people studied in which if one member of a pair displays the trait, the other does too.
Concordance Rate
wide range of possibility that it might exhibit differently.
Reaction Range
limited possible changes of changing (fixed)
Canalization Range
