Study Notes
Stages of Life
- Include babyhood, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood
- Can also include infancy, teenage, elderly, and childhood/adulthood/seniority
Development Process Exclusions
- Financial growth is not included in the development process
Growth Definition
- Growth is a quantitative increase in size or body mass
- It's not about the development of abilities or skills
- Instead, it's about physical change
Development Definition
- Development refers to the progressive acquisition of various skills
- It's not only about size increase, but also about learning
- Includes motor skills, cognitive skills, social and personal skills
Development Aspects
- Development is qualitative and involves motor, cognitive, social, and personality skills
- It includes intellectual growth and how behaviors change
- It also includes how people interact with each other
Motor Development
- Involves a sequence of movement behavior changes
- It's not about language or social interactions
Motor Development Example
- Motor development is demonstrated by the development of ambulation (rolling to walking)
Cognitive Development
- Includes skills like learning, memory, language, and problem-solving
- Also involves intellectual abilities and how they work
Physical Development Aspects
- Height and weight are part of physical development
- Teamwork is also included
Social Development
- Involves changes in interactions with others and social relationships
Memory and Language
- Social development includes changes in memory and language skills
Early Social Development in Babies
- Includes making eye contact and responding to voices
Intellectual Abilities
- Motor control, walking, and climbing are examples
Motor Learning
- Acquiring motor skills through practice and refinement
- It's about muscle control
Motor Learning Example
- Learning to drive is an example of motor learning
Mental Processes Refine
- Refine motor movements is due to internal neurological processes
Newborn Length at Birth
- The length of a newborn at birth is between 40 and 50 centimeters
Age When Height Doubles
- Child's height approximately doubles their birth height by a age 1 year
Newborn Weight
- Newborn's weight ranges typically from 1-3 kilograms
Daily Weight Gain
- Babies gain between 7-14 grams per day until they are 3 months old
Brain Maturity
- The brain reaches approximately 80% of full adult size within the first 3 years
Development Consequences (Unequal Limb Length)
- Unequal lower limb length may lead to scoliosis
Zygote Formation
- A zygote is formed when an ovum is fertilized by a sperm
- This is the beginning of a new human being
Conception Meaning
- Conception refers to the fertilization of an ovum by sperm
- This does not include the growth of the embryo or the birth of the baby
Gestational Age
- Gestational age is used to describe how far along a pregnancy is in weeks
- It's measured from the start of the last menstrual cycle
Normal Pregnancy Length
- Normal pregnancy typically lasts 36-40 weeks
Prenatal Development
- Includes all the developmental changes from fertilization to birth
Temporarily Halt Continuity of Development
- Some factors like growth spurts, malnutrition, and diseases can temporarily halt the normal course of development
Gradual Development Principle
- Development is a slow, cumulative process
Development Pattern Principle
- Although the pattern of development is similar, children develop at different rates
- This is influenced by both heredity and environment
