Study Notes
Human Life Span Development - Final Exam Study Guide
- Nature/nurture debate is a central concept in developmental psychology.
- Research methods include case studies, observations, surveys, correlations, longitudinal studies, cross-sectional studies and cross-sequential studies; experiments have IV, DV, population, sample, random selection and control groups.
- APA paper structure includes an introduction, methods, results, discussion and abstract.
- Prenatal development stages include germinal, embryonic, and fetal periods; chromosomes, mitosis, meiosis, sex chromosomes, and dominant/recessive genes are relevant; critical periods and viability are important.
- Development milestones during prenatal stages are mentioned as well as stages of development.
- Teratogens are factors that can negatively impact prenatal development.
- Cognitive development focuses on Piaget's stages (sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, formal operational); Vygotsky's work on scaffolding and the zone of proximal development, metacognition and post formal thought structures is key.
- Physical development milestones include head control, sitting, crawling, standing, and vision development (e.g.)
- Attachment theory classifies attachment styles into secure, resistant ambivalent, avoidant.
- Moral development discussed using theories by Kholberg (preconventional, conventional, postconventional stages) and Gilligan.
- Personality theory covers Freud's (id, ego, superego; psychosexual stages such as oral, anal, phallic, latency, genital) and Erikson's psychosocial stages (trust vs. mistrust, autonomy vs. shame and doubt, initiative vs. guilt, industry vs. inferiority, identity vs. role confusion, intimacy vs. isolation, generativity vs. stagnation, integrity vs. despair).
- Intelligence and its ranges (profound ID…gifted/genius) are important.
- Temperament traits (easy, difficult, slow-to-warm) affect individual differences.
- Sex/gender considerations including menarche/semenarche, frontal lobe growth, and limbic system development can be part of the topic of study.
