Domains of Development

A

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)

Q

Genes turn on and off in patterned ways throughout the lifespan

A

Epigenetics

22
Q

the effects of genes depend on what kind of environment we experiences, and how we respond to the environment depends on what genes we gave.

A

Gene-environment Interaction

23
Q

common experiences that work to make them similar (e.g., parenting style)

A

shared environmental influences

24
Q

unique experiences to the individual – those who are not shared with the other members of the family (e.g., parental favoritism)

A

nonshared environmental influences

25
Q

parent provide for their children is influenced partly by the parents’ genotypes.

  • musical parent + musical environment at home – give musical lessons to the child – child inherit the trait through combination of genetic and environment.
A

passive gene-environment

26
Q

child’s genotype evokes certain kind of reactions from other people.

  • yung bata may potential for music, inenroll sya sa music school.
  • Glass-ceiling effect, you are not promoted because you are a female. (the environment reacts to her genes)
A

evocative gene-environment (reactive)

27
Q

children’s genotype influence the kinds of environment they seek.

  • person who loves music will probably seek out musical friends
A

active gene-environment

28
Q

consists of inborn traits and characteristics provided by the child’s parents.

A

29
Q

influences stems from the outside body, starting from conception throughout life.

A

32
Q

biological or environmental events that affect many or most people in a society in a similar ways and events that touch only certain individuals.

A

normative influences

33
Q

highly similar for people in a particular age group. The timing of biological events is fairly predictable within a normal range.

— menstruation, quarter life crisis, midlife crisis

A

normative age-graded

34
Q

Significant events (such as World War II or the COVID-19 pandemic) that shape the behavior and attitudes of a historical generation.

— lahat ng age cohorts affected

A

normative history-graded

35
Q

unusual events that have a major impact on individual lives because they disturb the expected sequence of the life cycle. They are either typical events that happen at an atypical time of life or atypical events.

A

nonnormative influences

36
Q

instinctively follow the first moving object they see.

A

imprinting

38
Q

when developing person is especially responsive to certain kind of experience.

A

sensitive period

39
Q

modifiability of performance.

A

set of logically related concepts or statements that seek to describe and explain development and to predict the kinds of behavior that might occur under certain conditions.

A

theory

41
Q

explanations or predications that can
be tested by further research.

children are born “noble savages” who develop according to their own positive natural tendencies if not corrupted by
society.

A

Jean Jacque Rousseau

43
Q

His theory is naturalism but he is an empiricist.

A

John Locke

44
Q

People are like machines that react to environmental input. It results from the operation of biological parts in response to external or internal stimuli.

A

Mechanistic view

45
Q

Sees people as active, growing organisms who set their own development in motion. They initiate events; they do not just react. Thus, the driving force for change is internal.

A

Organismic view
