EDU 120 FINAL EXAM WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
100% VERIFIED!!
WEIRD
Emerging adulthood stage (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic)
Senescence
The process of aging, where the body becomes less strong and less efficient.
Maximum Life Span
122 years old
Menopause
The time in middle age, usually around age 50, when a woman's menstrual periods
cease and the production of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone drops. Strictly
speaking, menopause is dated one year after a woman's last menstrual period, although
many months before and after that date are menopausal.
Andropause
Gradual changes in the sexual hormones and reproductive system of middle-aged
males. (lower testosterone and lower sperm count)
Height and weight
As you get older, you gain weight easier because of metabolic slowdown, and your
height shrinks on average by an inch
First Visible Signs of aging
,skin changes
Vision and Hearing
Far sightedness increases and hearing loss
Brain development
Neurons fire more slowly, and reaction time lengthens because messages from the axon
of one neuron are not picked up as quickly by the dendrites of other neurons.
Characteristics of post formal reasoning
Postformal thinkers are flexible, with a "more complex, nuanced, and paradoxical"
mode of thinking. They consider all aspects of a situation, anticipating problems and
dealing with them rather than denying, avoiding, or procrastinating. Thus, postformal
thought is practical and creative
Postformal thought includes both...
objective and subjective thought
Objective thought
Thinking that is not influenced by the thinker's personal qualities but instead involves
facts and numbers that are universally considered true and valid.
Subjective Thought
Thinking that is strongly influenced by personal qualities of the individual thinker, such
as past experiences, cultural assumptions, and goals for the future.
Crystalized intelligence
The accumulation of knowledge, facts, and skills that are acquired throughout life (like
trivia and vocabulary)
, Fluid Intelligence
Ability to reason and think flexibly, raw mental skills, problem-solving and identifying
patterns, how quickly you process information (fluidity declines after 40 years)
Selective optimization with compensation
The theory, developed by Paul and Margaret Baltes, that people try to maintain a
balance in their lives by looking for the best way to compensate for physical and
cognitive losses and to become more proficient in activities they can already do well.
Expertise- four characteristics
(1) intuitive, (2) automatic, (3) strategic, and (4) flexible
Intuitive expertise
Expert intuition incorporates past experience, seeming to leap over logic- sometimes
with excellent results, sometimes not
Automatic expertise
the complex action and skill required for many tasks become routine for experts, making
it appear that most aspects of the task are performed instinctively.
Strategic Expertise
The difference between an expert airplane pilot is not book knowledge but familiarity
with contingencies, allowing strategic understanding when unexpected problems occur
Flexible Expertise
