Development refers to ____. Outline some of the influencing factors. - - -the
progression of physical, psychosocial and cognitive capacities over the
human lifespan.
-It is influenced by biological and environmental influences
- Growth refers to - - an increase in the number & size of cells that results in
an overall increase in the size/weight of body parts (ex. hypertrophic growth)
-Influenced by biological and contextual features (ie. socioeconomic status)
- What are the three major factors influencing growth & development?
Explain the implications of each. - - 1. Genetic or Natural Factors (2)
-Genetic Endowment dictates physical features as well as psychological
uniqueness.
-Temperament influences interactions between the individual & their
environment)
2. Environment
-Nutrition will impact physical growth
-Family will influence emotional/social development
-Peer group will influence communication skills and social development
-Living environment will influence physical growth (ie. polluted water, air,
exposure to teratogenic substances in utero)
3. Interaction between these two factors
-Life experiences will influence how a person uses (cognitive/genetic) what
they've learned through their situation (environment)
-Prenatal health will influence a persons development (ie. genetics; maternal
age, medical problems vs. environment; smoking, lack of nutrition)
- What are mechanisms of development? - - -the processes that underly
each developmental theory and and enable developmental progression (ie.
organicism, psychosocial, mechanistic, contextualism & dialecticism)
- What are the five ways of thinking about development? Which categories
do Piaget, Kolhberg, Erickson & Freud fall under? - - 1. Organicism (Piaget,
Kohlberg)
2. Psychosocial/Psychoanalytic (Freud, Erikson)
3. Mechanistic/Motor
4. Contextualism
5. Dialecticism
, - What are the three aspects of change that fall under the concept of
development? - - 1. Growth
2. Differentiation (ie. cells are given special roles)
3. Maturation
- List the age groups (in order) in which growth & development are usually
tracked (10). - - 1. Embryologic
2. Infant
3. Toddler
4. Preschool
5. School age
6. Adolescent
7. Young adult
8. Adult
9. Middle Age
10. Older adult
- What are the three terms used to describe growth & development within
the age groups? - - 1. Delayed (typically neurologic/cognitive growth or
maturation has not occurred)
2. Expected
3. Advanced
ex. Deciduous Teeth normally begin to come in around 6mo after birth.
However, mine came in around 1yr of age, therefore I was delayed in my
infant stage.
- List 6 risk factors for growth & development. - - 1. Prenatal factors (ie. folic
acid, smoking)
2. Birth Factors (ie. umbilical cord around neck, premature)
3. Family factors (ie. abusive family dynamics may delay a child's
psychosocial development)
4. Situational factors (ie. living in a poor country may mean lack of access to
adequate nutrition; delayed in physical development)
5. Individual factors (ie. ADHD may delay a child's cognitive development)
6. DoH (ie. Access to quality education may advance/delay a child's cognitive
development)
- What stages of the lifespan are most effected by the presence of risk
factors in terms of growth & development? - - Stages of rapid growth :
-Embryologic
-Infant
-Toddler
-Preschool
-School age
-Adolescent
, - Growth, differentiation & maturation correspond to six categories of
development. List all six. - - 1. Physical/Physiological
2. Motor
3. Social/Emotional
4. Cognitive
5. Communication
6. Adaptive
- Define the physical/physiological category of development. - - this
category encompasses the growth & changes in body tissues/organ systems,
resulting in changes in function and proportion
ex. Puberty (women's breast become enlarged and develop mammary
network; change in proportion & function)
- Define the motor category of development. - - encompasses the
progression of gross motor skills to fine motor skills, referred to as
refinement
ex. Grabbing reflex becomes more refined with age
- Define the social/emotional category of development. - - encompasses the
development. of self-understanding, understanding of others, understanding
of social interactions
ex. Teenagers as they progress into early adult become less self-absorbed
and more aware of others
- Define the cognitive category of development. - - encompasses the
development of memory capacity, cognitive self-regulation (ie. filter),
processing/use of information and understanding the relationships between
self & information
ex. As a child begins to apply knowledge learned in science to begin cooking
- Define the communication category of development. - - encompasses the
development of language & speech. Occurs alongside cognitive, neurologic,
and fine motor development (ie. pronunciation). It requires sensory function
& integration and relationships to develop & refine
ex. As a child begins to learn French and speak with peers
- Define the adaptive category of development. - - refers to the acquisition
of skills that allows a person to become independent (auto-suffisant)
