Study Notes
Developmental Psychology
- The age range that has received the most attention from researchers is infancy and early childhood.
Hormones and Growth
- Thyroxine (Thyroid Hormone) influences all growth except the Central Nervous System.
- TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) influences the production of Thyroxine.
Reflexes
- A reflex is a rapid, automatic response to a stimulus that involves the transmission of nerve impulses.
- Primitive reflexes emerge and disappear at specific ages:
- Typically occur between 28 weeks of gestation to 1 year of age.
- Each reflex has a specific age of onset and offset.
