Questions with Accurate Answers
Life span development - -What is the field of study that examines patterns of
growth change and stability in behavior that occur throughout the life span.
It uses a scientific approach and focuses on human development
- Physical Development - -this examines ways in which the body's makeup
helps determine behavior.
- Cognitive development
Cognitive developmentalists - -this requires seeking to understand how
growth and change in intellectual capabilities influence a persons behavior.
these type of people examine learning, memory, problem solving and
intelligence.
- Personality Development - -this is the study of stability and change in the
characteristics that differentiate one person from another over the life span.
- Social Development - -is the way in which individuals interactions and
relationships with other grow and change and remain stable over the course
of life.
- -prenatal period(conception to birth);
-infancy and toddlerhood(birth to 3);
-the preschool period(3 to 6);
-middle childhood(6 to 11); -adolescence(11 to 20);
-young adulthood(20 to 40); -middle adulthood(40 to 65);
- late adulthood(65 to death).
These are social constructions: aka culturally derived. - -What are the
ranges that life span is divided into?
- -Heredity: DNA, Chromosomes, Genes
- Evniorment: Parents, Siblings, schools, neighboorhoods, communities
-Maturation: changes over time, can be innfluenced by the ones above - -
What are the influences on development?
- Contexts- enviornments, philosophies, institutions ( a setting that influence
development)
,-Family
-Socioeconimic status (SES)
-Gender Roles
-Culture
-ethnicity
-language
-religion
-geographic location - -What are contexts of development?
- -Normative Age Graded Influences
-Normative History Graded Influences - -What are normative influences on
development?
- -Affects the individual, like a unique circumstance
Ex.-Disease, Disability, Trauma - -What are non normative influences on
development?
- -How much of a person's behavior is due to genetics (nature) or due to the
environment (nurture)?
• Nature: one's abilities and characteristics are inherited and predetermined.
• Nurture: one's social and environmental influences shape their behavior.
• We should consider that these two issues are on a continuum, with each
issue on one end of the continuum. Partocular behaviors may fall somewhere
between each end. - -Nature V. Nuture
- Cohort - -What is a group of people born at or around the same time and
place
- History-Graded Influences - -what are biological and environmental
influences they are associated with a particular history moment.
- Age graded Influences - -what are biological and environmental influences
that are similar for individuals in a particular age group regardless of when or
where they were raised.
- Sociocultural-Graded influences - -what are the social and cultural factors
preset at a particular time for a particular individual depending on ethnicity,
social class, and subcultural membership
, - Non-Normative Life events - -what are specific, atypical events that occur
in a particular persons life at a time when such events don't happen to most
people.
- Continuous change - -what is gradual development in which achievements
at one level build on those of previous levels.
- Discontinuous change - -what is development occurs in distinct steps or
stages with each stage bringing about behavior that is assumed to be
qualitatively different from behavior at earlier stages.
- Critical Period - -a specific time during development when a particular
event has its greatest consequences and the presence of certain kinds of
stimuli are necessary for development to proceed normally.
- Sensitive periods - -scientists are more likely to speak of these than
critical periods. A point in development when organisms are particularly
susceptible to certain kinds of stimuli in their environments, but the absence
of those stimuli does not always produce irreversible consequences.
- Nature - -what are traits, abilities and capacities, that are inherited from
ones parents
- Nurture - -what are environmental influences that shape behavior
- Maturation - -what is the predetermined unfolding of genetic information
- Theories - -what are broad explanations and predictions about phenomena
of interest
- Psychodynamic perspective - -the approach that states behavior is
motivated by inner forces, memories, and conflicts that are generally beyond
peoples awareness and control.
- Psychoanalytic theory - -the theory proposed by freud that suggests that
unconscious forces act to determine personality and behavior.
- ID: Pleasure Principle
EGO: Reality principle, balances id and superego
Superego: morality principle - -According to Freud what are the parts of
personality?
- Psychosexual Development - -according to freud, a series of stages that
children pass through in which pleasure, or gratification, if focused on a
particular biological function and body part.
