A broad term encompassing variations in cognitive, social, behavioral, language, and motor development that deviate from typical development patterns and persist throughout life.

A group of inherited conditions caused by genetic mutations or variations, leading to a range of developmental differences.

A disorder characterized by differences in social interaction, communication, and a tendency towards restricted interests and repetitive behaviors, often present from early childhood and lasting throughout life.

A theory suggesting that autistic individuals may have difficulty with understanding the mental states of others, such as beliefs and intentions.

A theory suggesting that individuals with autism may have a weaker ability to process information holistically, focusing instead on details.

A neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, often diagnosed in childhood and potentially persisting into adulthood.

Conditions caused by factors in the environment, such as access to therapy, home environment, nutrition, and prenatal complications, that can impact development.

A complex medical condition that can cause developmental differences due to damage to the brain during pregnancy, childbirth, or early childhood.

A situation where a trait or characteristic is largely determined by genetic factors, meaning that genes play a significant role in its development.

The ability to manage thoughts, actions, and emotions effectively. It includes skills like planning, prioritizing, working memory, and self-control.

A communication disorder characterized by difficulties with spoken language, including understanding, expression, and language processing. This isn't due to hearing impairment or intellectual disability.

This approach emphasizes how society creates barriers for people with disabilities, rather than focusing solely on the individual's impairment.

A movement that celebrates neurodiversity, recognizing variations in cognitive abilities as differences, not deficits. It emphasizes acceptance and inclusion rather than seeking a cure.

The medical model views disability as a problem within the individual, focusing on their impairment. It emphasizes medical interventions to 'fix' the impairment.

These are conditions like Down syndrome, Fragile X, Williams syndrome, or Rett's syndrome where the cause is firmly understood and linked to a specific genetic change.

These are differences like autism, ADHD, and language disorders where a genetic basis is suspected but not yet fully established.

This is a term used when we assume a condition has a genetic basis because there's strong evidence that it's often passed down in families, but the exact genes involved are still unknown.

The genetic makeup of an organism. It represents the complete set of genes an organism carries, including both observable and non-observable traits.

The observable physical characteristics of an organism. It includes both the outward appearance and internal workings of the organism, influenced by both genetics and environment.

The study of people with varying degrees of genetic relatedness can help us understand the genetic basis of a particular trait. It is used to assess the extent to which a trait is influenced by genes or environment.

The view that intelligence is a single, underlying factor that influences overall cognitive ability. It suggests that people who excel in one area of intelligence are likely to be good at other cognitive tasks.

A model that explains how birth order can influence intelligence. It suggests that as the number of siblings increases, parents have fewer resources to allocate to each child, leading to less intellectual stimulation.

The tendency for intelligent children to have intelligent parents who also provide enriched environments might lead to a biased view of intelligence. It becomes challenging to disentangle the influence of genetics from environment.

It is difficult to establish a universal theory of intelligence to determine the content of IQ tests. The current approach is to measure intelligence based on what IQ tests measure.
