Lifespan Final Review
If we believe infants and children have unique ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving quite different
from those of adults, then development is:
Discontinuous
The systemic lifespan perspective has four assumptions about development:
Development is lifelong, multi-dimensional and multidirectional, highly plastic, and affected by multiple,
interacting forces.
In the first half of the twentieth century, it was widely assumed that:
Development stopped at adolescence.
________ is the ability to adapt effectively in the face of threats to development.
Resilience
Chapter One introduced us to major theories of human development and research strategies used to
test them. In the textbook, theories are organized by looking at the stand they take on three basic
issues, including:
(1) Is the course of development continuous or discontinuous? (2) Does one course of development
characterize all people or are there many possible courses? (3) What are the roles of genetic and
environmental factors in development?

The cognitive-development theory of human development was proposed by:
Jean Piaget
Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky proposed _________, focusing on how culture is transmitted to the
next generation.
sociocultural theory
The ________ is a systemic approach to human development which assumes development is lifelong,
multi-dimensional and multidirectional, highly plastic, and affected by multiple, interacting forces.
lifespan perspective
The ultimate responsibility for the ethical integrity of research lies with the __________.
Investigator
__________ is an interdisciplinary field devoted to understanding human constancy and change
throughout the lifespan.
Developmental science
Cells from which sperm arise are produced continuously throughout life the result being:
That a male can father a child at any age after sexual maturity.

In the US, the proportion of male births has declined in recent decades. Some researchers attribute this
trend to:
A rise in stressful living conditions, which heighten spontaneous abortions, especially of male fetuses.
__________ are a major cause of serious developmental problems.
Chromosomal abnormalities
The most common chromosomal disorder is?
Down Syndrome
As maternal ages rise beyond 35, the rates of Down Syndrome and other chromosomal abnormalities:
Increases sharply
The most common sex-related problem (abnormalities) at birth, involve the presence of:
an extra chromosome
The _________ is used by a genetic counselor to estimate the likelihood that parents will have an
affected child.
pedigree
The overall success rate of assisted reproductive techniques, as measured by live births, is about:
50%
