PSYC 2314 || with 100% Correct Answers.
Growth patterns correct answers During early childhood, proportions shift radically: Children
slim down as the lower body lengthens and fat turns to muscle.
BMI (body mass index) correct answers a measure of body weight relative to height
nutritional deficiencies correct answers caused by low levels of nutrients in diet, impaired
digestion/absorption, failure of body to make nutrient it normally synthesizes
Leading causes ^ correct answers Sugar
Allergies
Poor diet
Obesity among young children correct answers Adults often encourage children to eat,
instinctively protecting them against famine that was common a century ago. Unfortunately, that
encouragement may be destructive.
Brain growth in EC correct answers By age 2, most neurons have connected to other neurons and
substantial pruning has occurred. The 2-year-old's brain already weighs 75 percent of what it will
weigh in adulthood; the 6-year-old's brain is 90 percent of adult weight.
Mylenation correct answers Coating of neural fibres with insulating fatty sheath improves
efficiency of message transfer.
Impulsivity correct answers tendency to act quickly without careful thought
prefrontal cortex correct answers part of frontal lobe responsible for thinking, planning, and
language
left hemisphere of brain correct answers The left hemisphere of the brain is responsible for
control of the right side of the body, and is the more academic and logical side of the brain.
right hemisphere of brain correct answers The right hemisphere of the brain is responsible for
control of the left side of the body, and is the more artistic and creative side of the brain.
cortex correct answers outermost covering of the brain consisting of densely packed neurons,
responsible for higher thought processes and interpretation of sensory input
Amygdala correct answers A limbic system structure involved in memory and emotion,
particularly fear and aggression.
Hypothalamus correct answers A neural structure lying below the thalamus; it directs several
maintenance activities (eating, drinking, body temperature), helps govern the endocrine system
via the pituitary gland, and is linked to emotion and reward.
, corpus callosum correct answers the large band of neural fibers connecting the two brain
hemispheres and carrying messages between them
laterlization correct answers specialization of the two cerebral hemispheres for particular
operations
food allergies correct answers An immune system response to a food that the body perceives as
harmful
Dental Care correct answers All children should see a dentist and brush their teeth regularly
during early childhood—both practices that were unnecessary before widespread sugar
consumption
Autism Spectrum Disorder correct answers an intellectual disability that appears in childhood
and is marked by significant deficiencies in communication and social interaction, and by rigidly
fixated interests and repetitive behaviors
Cause ^ correct answers When the corpus callosum fails to develop
Stress correct answers The relationship between stress and brain activity depends partly on the
age of the person and partly on the degree of stress. Both too much and too little impair learning.
Cortisol correct answers higher cortisol reactions to the alarm remembered more details than did
those with less stress. That conclusion is found in other research as well—some stress, but not
too much, aids cognition
gross motor skills correct answers physical abilities involving large body movements, such as
walking and jumping
fine motor skills correct answers physical abilities involving small body movements, especially
of the hands and fingers, such as drawing and picking up a coin
developing motor skills correct answers Brain growth, motivation, and guided practice undergird
all motor skills.
injury control correct answers systematic efforts to prevent injuries from occurring and to limit
the consequences of those that have already occurred
Leading cause of death 1-5yo correct answers Drowning
poisoning correct answers Condition that occurs when contact is made with any chemical
substance that causes injury, illness, or death.
primary prevention correct answers the overall conditions are structured to make harm less
likely. Primary prevention reduces everyone's chance of injury.
