Test Bank For Educating Exceptional
Children 15th Edition by Samuel Kirk,
James J Gallagher, Mary R
longitudinal design (p.28) <<<<ANSWER>>>>The same
individuals are observed or tested repeatedly at different
points in their lives.
ethological theory (p.8) <<<<ANSWER>>>>Views
development from an evolutionary perspective
imprinting (p.8) <<<<ANSWER>>>>creating an
emotional bond with the mother
response bias (p.21) <<<<ANSWER>>>>Some
responses may be more socially acceptable than others,
and children are more likely to select those than socially
unacceptable answers.
,systematic observation (p.19)
<<<<ANSWER>>>>Involves watching children and
carefully recording what they do or say.
validity (p.22) <<<<ANSWER>>>>If it really measures
what researchers think it measures. Its often established
by showing that the measure is closely related to another
measure known to be valid.
variables (p.19) <<<<ANSWER>>>>factors that can take
on different values-to record.
alleles (p.41) <<<<ANSWER>>>>Genes that come in
different forms
autosomes (p.41) <<<<ANSWER>>>>The first 22 pairs
of chromosomes
behavioral genetics (p.48)
<<<<ANSWER>>>>Determining the impact of heredity
on behavioral and psychological traits.
chromosomes (p.40) <<<<ANSWER>>>>Tiny structures
in the nucleus that contain genetic material.
epigenesis (p.54) <<<<ANSWER>>>>This continuous
interplay between genes and multiple levels of the
,environment (from cells to culture) that drives
development.
genotype (p.41) <<<<ANSWER>>>>The complete setup
of genes makes up a person's heredity.
heritability coefficient (p.54)
<<<<ANSWER>>>>Estimates the extent to which
differences between people reflect heredity.
Huntington's disease (p.44) <<<<ANSWER>>>>A fatal
disease characterized by progressive degeneration of the
nervous system.
incomplete dominance (p.43)
<<<<ANSWER>>>>Sometimes one allele does not
dominate another completely.
methylation (p.54) <<<<ANSWER>>>>Sometimes
experiences change the expression of DNA- the genetic
code is preserved but some genes are "turned off"
The chemical silencer is a methyl molecule.
niche-picking (p.55) <<<<ANSWER>>>>The process of
deliberately seeking environments that fit one's heredity.
, nonshared environmental influences (p.56)
<<<<ANSWER>>>>The environmental forces that make
siblings different from one another.
phenotype (p.41) <<<<ANSWER>>>>An individual's
physical behavioral, and psychological features.
mental operations (p.167) <<<<ANSWER>>>>Cognitive
actions that can be performed on objects or ideas.
object permanence (p.164) <<<<ANSWER>>>>The
understanding, acquired in infancy, that objects exist
independently of oneself.
preoperational stage (p.165) <<<<ANSWER>>>>The
second of Piaget's stages, from 2 to 7 years, in which
children first use symbols to represent objects and events.
private speech (p.174) <<<<ANSWER>>>>Comments
that are not intended for others but that help children
regulate their own behavior.
scaffolding (p.173) <<<<ANSWER>>>>A teaching style
in which adults adjust the amount of assistance that they
offer, based on the learner's needs.
