Study Notes
Chapter 1
- The biosocial domain encompasses growth, change, and factors influencing it (genetic, nutritional, health)
- Experiments help researchers study complex individual development in a cost-effective way.
- Determining cause-and-effect relationships is a key goal of experiments
- Observing behavior systematically and objectively is essential to scientific research.
Chapter 2
- Race is a social construct, not a biological reality
- "Nature" refers to inherited genes, while "nurture" encompasses environmental influences
- Discontinuous development is characterized by rapid, dramatic changes.
- Continuous development involves gradual, steady progression.
- The chronosystem describes how historical time impacts development.
Chapter 3
- One in every 30,000 infants has a chromosomal abnormality
- Alcohol use disorder is polygenic (influenced by multiple genes) and culture plays a significant role
- Females are often carriers of X-linked traits, males are more likely to express them.
- In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a process where an ovum is fertilized in a lab and then implanted
- A zygote is a single-celled organism resulting from the union of sperm and ovum.
- Down syndrome is a type of chromosomal disorder, specifically trisomy 21.
- A single gene disorder like Huntington's disease is often dominant.
Chapter 4
- The frequency of low birthweight in the US decreased and then increased in the 1990s and early 2000s
- The Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale is used to evaluate newborn reflexes
- A baby born two or more weeks early is considered premature
- Low folic acid levels during pregnancy can lead to birth defects like neural-tube defects, heart defects, and limb deformities.
- Kangaroo care involves placing a baby on the parent's chest skin-to-skin.
- Brain pathways are primarily formed during the germinal and embryonic stages of development.
Chapter 5
- Psychoanalytic theories emphasize the impact of early experiences, including those in the unconscious.
- Experiments are particularly important in observational conditioning, which studies behavior and the links between behavior, and environmental stimuli.
- Humans evolve more rapidly than other species due to environmental influences.
- Piaget's four stages of cognitive development include sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational. (in order)
- Cognitive disequilibrium is a state of confusion that occurs when experiences challenge a child's existing understanding of the world. Also, the process of resolving this confusion through learning.
Chapter 6
- Evolutionary theory often explains fears through ancestral survival benefits
- Chomsky's theory is that children have a natural ability to learn language
- Piaget's theory is that children progress through stages of development from infancy to adulthood.
- Sensorimotor stage six involves toddlers enjoying playing with objects as if they were real
- Holophrases are single words used to express a whole thought by toddlers
- The “naming explosion” in toddlers typically begins around 18 months old.
Chapter 7
- The Strange Situation test measures attachment styles in infants.
- The term "holophrase" refers to a single word used by an infant to communicate a complex meaning (a whole thought)
- Infants display object permanence when they understand that objects still exist even when they can’t see them.
- Four stages of cognitive development, proposed by Piaget, include: sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational.
- The naming explosion occurs roughly around 18 months old which refers to the exponential growth of words children acquire.
Chapter 8
- Allergic reactions to peanuts can be decreased through carefully managed introductions, or avoiding known triggers with peanut products in schools and daycares
- Brain lateralization is the specialization of the two brain hemispheres.
- Executive function skills are essential cognitive abilities that develop over time through practice.
- Piaget theorized that children experience stages of cognitive development involving sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational phases.
Chapter 9
- Piaget believed that until approximately age six, children are unable to think logically.
- Executive functions are considered essential cognitive abilities for children, and these abilities develop over time.
- Language development is influenced by various factors, such as the language spoken at home and the quality of interactions with caregivers.
- Children understand that objects exist even if they aren't visible to them, known as object permanence.
Chapter 10
- Children's play reflects their culture, communication, parenting style, and the various expectations.
- Some play styles, like parallel play and rough-and-tumble play, are common amongst children of various ages.
- Diana Baumrind's research studied parenting styles, distinguishing permissive, authoritative, and authoritarian approaches.
