Test One Flashcards
Aristotle
Knowledge rooted in experience
Locke
Children is like a blank slate
Rousseau
Children born with innate sense of justice and mortality
The normative approach
Age related averages are computed to represent typical developed
Biological theories
Maturational theory Imprinting Critical period Sensitive period Development neuroscience
Maturational theory
Natural unfolding of a prearranged biological plan
Critical period
Time limited, if a child doesn’t get proper stimulation it will lack that skill
Sensitive period
Not as dire, easiest to learn at certain point
Development neuroscience
Include a lot of different aspects of development
Psychodynamic theories
Behaviour is affected by conscious and unconscious processes
Stage theories
Learning theories
Environment molds developments
Classical conditioning
Operant conditioning
Reinforcement and punishment
Social learning theories
Observation learning
Instinct if reinforcement
Social cognitive theory
Self efficacy
Self efficacy
Confidence in your ability
Cognitive theories
Piaget- adapt to and seek to understand their environment
Contextual perspective
Ecological system theory
Vyostsky
Ecological systems theory
Microsystems, mesosystems, exosystem l, macrosystem
Vyostsky
Development occurs through social interactions
Micro
Mom and dad
Mesosystems
Relationship between micro
Exosystem
Social environment
Macrosystem
The culture you grow up in
Chronosystems
Looks at the timing of things
Development is jointly influenced by
Heredity and environment
Dynamic system perspective
Different aspects of the child form and interested and dynamic system
5 domains of development
Physical Emotional Social Language Cognition
Types of developmental changed
Normative age graded
Normative history graded
Non-normative changes
Data collection methods
Observation
Surveys and interviews
Case study
Physiological measures
Study types
Correlational studies
Experiments
Microgentic study
Children are tested repeatedly over a span of days or weeks
Cross sectional designs
Different age groups are tested repeatedly over a span of days or weeks
Short affect
The change you see may be due to the change in the world in the age gap between children
Longitudinal design
The same group of people over time
Repeat test effect
The asking of the same question may lead to the children learning the questions
Sequential design
Different age groups are tested over time
Cross cultural research
Helps determine if developmental changed and milestones are universal
Fertility drugs
Real see more ovum
Artificial insemination
Sperm injected into uterus when ovum present
Invitro fertilization
Removed ovum, introduced sperm outside the body
Surrogate mothers
Another woman carries the child
Illegal in Canada
Modifier genes
Enhance or dilute the effects of other genes
Polygenic traits
Determined by more than one gene
Multi factorial influence
Phenotype determined by genes and the environment
Genomic imprinting
Making genes when gametes are formed in parents
Mitochondrial inheritance
Mitochondria passed through ovum
Plato
Children born with innate capacity
Personality, temperament come with
Sex linked disorders
Recessive genes
Red/green colour blindness
Hemophilia
Fragile x syndrome
Chromosonal errors
Trisomies
Trisomy 21
Behavioural genetics
Studies the inheritance behavioural and physical tests
Epigenetics
Interaction between genes and multiple levels of the environment that determine development.
Hereitability coefficient
Infant how much of a particular gene you have
Niche picking
Deliberaity seeking environments that fits one heredity
Internal models of experience
Core ideas or assumptions about self others, the world through which other experiences are filtered
Maturation
No environmental effect
Maintenance
Environmental input is needed to sustain a skill
Facilitation
Environmental input means that skills develop earlier than normal
Altunement
Environmental input leads to a permanent level of gain in a genetic capacity
Induction
Environmental input is needed for the skill to develop at all
Horowitz
A child’s vulnerability, resilience and the environment facilitativness interact to determine outcomes
Gestation
Occurs over 265 days or 38 weeks
