Study Notes
Development
- Longitudinal study: studying the same group over a period of time
- Cross-sectional study: studying different groups at the same point in time
- Factors affecting prenatal development:
- Malnourishment
- Maternal illness
- Genetic mutations
- Teratogens (agents that pass through the placenta and affect the developing baby, including alcohol, drugs, and viruses). These can cause brain damage and facial defects.
Prenatal Development
- Fetal alcohol syndrome: damage caused by alcohol exposure during pregnancy.
- Automatic reflexes (prenatal): rooting, stepping, Moro.
- Nearsightedness in newborns
- Habituation: a decrease in responsiveness to repeated stimuli
- Maturation: orderly developmental sequence based on genetics
Motor Development
- Gross motor skills: large muscle movements
- Fine motor skills: small muscle movements.
Classical Conditioning
- Taste aversion: a learned dislike of a food due to a negative experience.
- Biological preparedness: the predisposition to learn certain associations (e.g., associating a taste with illness).
- Counterconditioning: a therapy approach to unlearning fears, exposing the individual to the fear stimulus.
- Higher-order conditioning: a more complex association between stimuli.
