sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) correct answers a condition that occurs when an infant
stops breathing, usually during the night, and suddenly dies without an apparent cause
lifespan perspective correct answers an approach to the study of human development that takes
into account all phases of life, not just childhood or adulthood
Critical period correct answers A time when a particular type of development must happen for it
to occur correctly
Sensitive period correct answers A time when a particular type of development is most likely to
happen or happens easiest. The development may still occur outside this period
Ecological systems approach correct answers the view that in the study of human development,
the person should be considered in all the contexts and interactions that constitute a life
Social construction correct answers an idea that is based on shared perceptions, not on objective
reality
difference-equals-deficit error correct answers the mistaken belief that a deviation from some
norm is necessarily inferior to behavior or characteristics that meet the standard
Acculturation correct answers the process of cultural change and psychological change that
results following meeting between cultures
race vs ethnic group correct answers Misleading, based on appearance vs born in the same region
and often share some culture/religion/language
dynamic systems approach correct answers a view of human development as an ongoing, ever-
changing interaction between the physical, cognitive, and psychosocial influences
differential sensitivity correct answers the idea that some people are more vulnerable than others
are to certain experiences, usually because of genetic differences
Scientific method correct answers 1. Question
2. Hypothesis
3. Test the hypothesis
4. Make conclusions
5. Report the results
6. Replication
MMMMP of development correct answers Multidirectional
Multicontextual
Multicultural
Multidisciplinary
, Plastic
5 layers of Bronfenbrenner chart correct answers Microsystem- basic, close personal
relationships
Mesosystem- connections between exo and microsystems; how they interact
Exosystem- relationships between the person and local institutions like school or church
Macrosystem- the broader social setting that includes governments and cultural values
Chronosystem- changing conditions throughout life, stressed historical context
Zygote correct answers The single cell that is formed from the fusing of two gametes
Monozygotic twins correct answers Twins who originate from one zygote that splits apart very
early in development (identical)
Dizygotic twins correct answers Twins who are formed from two separate ova fertilizing by two
sperm (fraternal twins; twice as common)
Germinal period correct answers The first two weeks of prenatal development after conception,
characterized by rapid cell division and the beginning of cell differentiation
Embryonic period correct answers The stage of prenatal development from week 3 to 8 after
conception where basic forms of all body structures, including internal organs develop
Fetal period correct answers The stage of prenatal development after the 9th week where the
fetus grows and matures in functioning
Implantation correct answers Occurs about 10 days after conception where the developing
organism burrows into the tissue that lines the uterus; about 50% of natural conceptions never
reach this
Age of viability correct answers The age at which a fetus has over a 50% chance of viability,
assuming specialized medical care is available; 22 weeks
Apgar scale correct answers A quick assessment of a newborns body functioning using the
baby's heart rate, respiratory effort, muscle tone, colour and reflexes on a scale from 0-2 each,
done twice after birth.
Teratogen correct answers Any agent or condition, including viruses, drugs, and chemicals, that
can impair prenatal development, resulting in birth defects or complications.
Cerebral palsy correct answers A disorder that results from damage to the brain's motor centers.
Causes difficulty with muscle control, so speech and/or body movements are impaired.
Threshold effect correct answers a situation in which a certain teratogen is relatively harmless in
small doses but becomes harmful once exposure reaches a certain level
