PSYC 2450 - Midterm 1
Active Genotype/Environment Correlations - ANS-The belief that our genotypes affect the forms
of environments that we opt for and searching for out
Age of Viability - ANS-A factor between the twenty second and 28th prenatal weeks whilst
survival outside the uterus is possible
AIDS - ANS-A viral disease that may be transmitted from a mom to her fetus or neonate and
that outcomes in a weakening of the body's immune machine and, in the long run, demise
Alleles - ANS-Alternative varieties of a gene that could appear at a specific website on a
chromosome
Amniocentesis - ANS-A approach of extracting amniotic fluid from a pregnant lady so that fetal
frame cells in the fluid may be examined for chromosomal abnormalities and different genetic
defects
Amnion - ANS-A watertight membrane that surrounds the growing embryo, serving to modify its
temperature and to cushion it against accidents
Amodal Perception - ANS-2 or greater stimuli are present and arise collectively
Anencephaly - ANS-A beginning illness wherein the brain and neural tube fail to develop or
develop incompletely and the talent does no longer close
At what age do kids understand themselves inside the mirror? - ANS-At approximately 2 years
antique
Autosomes - ANS-The 22 pairs of human chromosomes which can be equal in men and women
Blastocyst - ANS-Name given to the ball of cells fashioned while the fertilized egg first begins to
divide. Inner layer turns into the embryo
Canalization - ANS-Genetic limit of phenotype to a small number of developmental results; a
extraordinarily canalized attribute is one for which genes channel improvement along
predetermined pathways, so that the environment has little effect at the phenotype that emerges
Chorion - ANS-A membrane that, as above, becomes connected to the uterine tissues to collect
nourishment for the embryo
, Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) - ANS-An alternative to amniocentesis in which fetal cells are
extracted from the chorion for prenatal exams. Can be finished in advance in the being pregnant
than is feasible with amniocentesis
Chromosome - ANS-A threadlike structure made of genes; in people there are forty six
chromosomes within the nucleus of each body cell
Chronosystem - ANS-In ecological systems concept, adjustments inside the man or woman or
the surroundings that arise over time and impact the course developmental takes
Clinical Method - ANS-A type of interview wherein a participant's response to each successive
question (or trouble) determines what the investigator will ask next
Conception - ANS-The moment of fertilization, whilst a sperm penetrates an ovum, forming a
zygote
Concordance Rate - ANS-The percent of cases wherein a selected attribute is gift for one
member of a dual pair if it is gift for the opposite
Congenital Defect - ANS-A trouble this is gift (though no longer always obvious) at delivery;
such defects may stem from genetic and prenatal influences or from headaches of the birth
manner
Crossing-over - ANS-A system wherein genetic fabric is exchanged among pairs of
chromosomes in the course of meiosis
Deferred Imitation - ANS-Ability to breed a modelled hobby that has been witnessed at some
point in the beyond
Development - ANS-Systematic continuities and modifications in the person over the course of
existence (from womb to tomb)
Developmental Continuities - ANS-Ways in which we remain stable over the years or continue
to reflect our past
Developmental Psychology - ANS-Branch of psychology committed to figuring out and
explaining the continuities and modifications that people show over time
Developmentalist - ANS-Any pupil, irrespective of subject (as an example, psychologist,
biologist, sociologist, anthropologist, educator), who seeks to apprehend the developmental
system
