Hereditary and Environmental Factors

The interplay of genetic predispositions and environmental conditions that shape behaviour and traits.

Adaptive vs. Maladaptive Behaviors

Actions that either help or hinder an individual's ability to adjust to particular situations.

Biopsychosocial Model

Study Notes

  • Development is influenced by both hereditary and environmental factors.
  • Adaptive behaviors help individuals thrive in their environment.
  • Maladaptive behaviors hinder an individual's ability to adjust to particular situations.

Biopsychosocial Model

  • A model that considers biological, psychological, and social factors.
  • These factors influence overall wellbeing.

Neurodiversity

  • Neurodiversity refers to the variation in brain function and behavioral traits.
  • It is seen as a normal and natural variation within the human population.
  • Neurotypicality refers to what is considered typical neurological development and function.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

  • ASD is a neurodevelopmental condition.
  • It affects communication, social interaction, and behavior.

Emotional Development

  • Emotional development involves learning to understand and express feelings.
  • It includes how to manage emotions effectively.

Attachment

  • Attachment is the emotional bond between individuals.
  • It is typically between a child and their primary caregiver.

Social Development

  • Social development involves learning how to interact with others.
  • It encompasses understanding social norms and expectations.

Bandura’s Social Learning Theory

  • People learn from one another through observation, imitation, and modeling.

Key Science Skills: Writing Hypotheses

  • A hypothesis is a testable prediction about the relationship between variables.

Variables

  • Independent variables are manipulated by the researcher.
  • Dependent variables are measured to see if they are affected by the independent variable.
  • Extraneous variables are other factors that could affect the dependent variable.
  • Researchers try to reduce extraneous variables.

Experimental Designs

  • Between-subjects designs involve different participants in each condition.
  • Within-subjects designs involve the same participants in all conditions.
  • Mixed designs combine elements of both between-subjects and within-subjects designs.
  • Each design has its own advantages and limitations.

Ethical Concepts and Guidelines

  • Ethics ensures research is conducted responsibly and morally.
  • Guidelines protect the rights and wellbeing of participants.
