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.
