PVCC PSY 230 Midterm Review
the 4 key debates - ✔️✔️continuous vs discontinuous, nature vs nurture, critical vs
sensitive, lifespan vs particular periods

operant conditioning - ✔️✔️learning in which a voluntary response is strengthened or
weakened depending on consequence (ie people work harder for good grades and
more money)

continuous change - ✔️✔️quantitative, gradual, builds on itself, ex: height

discontinuous - ✔️✔️occurs in distinct stages, qualitative, ex: cognition

nature - ✔️✔️traits, abilities, capacities that are inherited

nurture - ✔️✔️environmental influences that shape nature

critical periods - ✔️✔️absence of certain influences will produce irreversible
consequences

sensitive periods - ✔️✔️later experiences can overcome earlier deficits


psychodynamic theory - ✔️✔️Freud, behavior is motivated by inner forces

psychosocial theory - ✔️✔️Erikson, changes in our interactions and understanding of
others and self

A cohort is a... - ✔️✔️group of people born around the same time in same place

behavioral perspective - ✔️✔️Watson, people are affected by the environment to which
they are exposed; observable behavior/outside stimuli is motivator

classical conditioning - ✔️✔️associating a neutral stimulus with a response that
normally wouldn't bring about that reaction (ie the dog drooling when he hears/sees the
bell...he associates it with meat)

humanistic perspective - ✔️✔️Rogers, people have the natural capacity to make
decisions and control their behaviors

contextual perspective - ✔️✔️Vygotsky; development can't be properly viewed without
seeing physical, cognitive, personality, and social worlds
