Study Notes
Developmental Cascade
- Refers to cumulative transactions in developing systems
- Includes social cognition (how children think about self and others)
- Results in mental representations of self, relationships, and the world
Sensitive Periods
- Periods of psychological development in children
- Studying influence of heredity and environment on behavior
- Interactions of genetics and environment affecting behavior
Behavioral Genetics
- Study of influence of an organism's genetic composition on behavior
- Includes heredity and environment interplay
- Studying how genetic makeup affects behavior
Molecular Genetics
- Scientific discipline focused on gene structure and function at the molecular level
- Includes technique of genetic engineering
- Direct manipulation of organisms' genome
Emotion Reactivity
- Individual differences in emotional experiences' threshold and intensity
- How easily one gets upset
Emotion Regulation
- Ability to manage emotional reactions
- Emotion regulation influenced by socialization
Social Cognition
- How children think about themselves and others
- Results in mental representations of self, relationships, and the world
