    Study Notes

    Stability and change

    • A child’s personality and characteristics can and do change over time.
    • Early traits, such as shyness, do not always remain the same throughout a person’s life.

    Biology and environment - Resilience

    • Resilience is the ability to adapt well to challenges, promoting healthy development.
    • Factors that contribute to resilience include:
      • Personal traits
      • Strong parental relationships
      • Social support outside the family
      • Community resources and opportunities

    Periods of Development

    • Human development is divided into periods:
      • Prenatal period (conception to birth)
      • Infancy (birth to 18/24 months)
      • Early childhood (up to 5/6 years)
      • Middle and Late childhood (5/6 to 10/12 years)
      • Adolescence (10/12 to 18/22 years)
      • Early adulthood (early 20s to early 30s)
      • Middle adulthood (40-60 years)
      • Late adulthood (60 years to death)

    Conceptions of Age

    • There are four types of age:
      • Chronological age (years since birth)
      • Biological age (biological health)
      • Psychological age (adaptability)
      • Social age (connectedness with others)

    Heredity and Chromosomes

    • Gametes (sperm and ova) are involved in reproduction.
    • Sperm is produced in the testes (spermatogenesis).
    • Ova are produced in the ovaries.
    • Sex is determined by chromosomes:
      • Y chromosome in sperm = male
      • X chromosome in ova = female
      • XY = genetically male
      • XX = genetically female

    Genetic Mutations

    • Genetic mutations are changes in DNA sequence.
    • Mutations can arise from errors during DNA replication or external factors (radiation, chemicals).
    • Mutations can lead to disorders, cancer, or have no effect.

    Prenatal Development

    • The first trimester of pregnancy consists of three stages:
      • Germinal stage (weeks 0-2): Fertilization and implantation
      • Embryonic stage (weeks 3-8): Organ formation
      • Fetal stage (weeks 9-birth): Rapid growth and maturation

    Prenatal Testing and Diagnosis

    • Prenatal testing is the detection of potential pregnancy problems.
    • Prenatal diagnosis is the investigation of specific problems.
    • Testing methods include:
      • Ultrasound imaging
      • Blood tests
      • Chorionic villus sampling (CVS)
      • Amniocentesis

    Genetic Disorders

    • Genetic disorders can impact prenatal development by causing:
      • Congenital malformations
      • Growth restrictions
      • Functional abnormalities
    • Examples of genetic disorders include Down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, and spina bifida.

    Factors Influencing Prenatal Risks

    • Teratogens can harm a developing fetus:
      • Timing of exposure matters (critical periods).
      • Amount of exposure varies in its effect.
      • Genetics play a role in how a teratogen affects the fetus.

    Early Childhood Education

    • High-quality early childhood education is crucial for development.
    • Benefits include:
      • Better academic success
      • Higher graduation rates
      • Improved career outcomes
      • Better health and economic stability

    Socioeconomic Status

    • Socioeconomic status influences development by impacting access to:
      • Resources (education, healthcare, food)
      • Health and well-being due to family stress
      • Educational opportunities

    Attachment and Bonding

    • Attachment is an emotional bond between a child and their caregiver.
    • Strong attachments provide:
      • Emotional security
      • A sense of safety
      • The ability to explore the environment
      • Healthy emotional and social development
