    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:
