Study Notes
Research Validity
- Internal validity in research concerns the accuracy of conclusions drawn.
- It focuses on the relationship between independent and dependent variables.
- It involves controlling for extraneous factors.
Developmental Stages
- 'Cephalocaudal' development refers to development that proceeds from head to toe.
- 'Proximodistal' development proceeds from the body's center outward.
- Screening is a preventative measure.
Cognitive Development
- False belief task assesses a child's understanding that others may hold false beliefs.
- Combines different thinking styles.
- Assertiveness in language development involves pragmatic skills.
Psychological Approaches
- Comparative psychology examines similarities and differences in abilities across cultures and species.
- Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory has five levels: microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem, and chronosystem.
Piaget's Stages of Development
- Object permanence (understanding that objects continue to exist when out of sight) typically develops around 8-9 months, as per A-not-B task.
- Formal operational stage is characterized by abstract thought and hypothetical reasoning.
- Language acquisition includes aspects like prosody (tone, rhythm).
Child Development
- Telegraphic speech uses short phrases that convey meaning.
- "Goodness of fit" model connects parenting styles and child development.
- Emotional regulation difficulties, like in ambivalent children, manifest early.
