What are the 5 basic steps of the scientific method? - Answer 1. Begin with curiosity
2. Develop a hypothesis
3. Test the hypothesis
4. Draw conclusions
5. Report the results; replication
Nature vs Nurture - Answer Influence of genes we inherit vs. environmental influences
that affect our development
Epigenetics - Answer How environmental factors affect genes and genetic expression
Differential susceptibility - Answer Hoe environmental experiences differ differ because
of particular inherited genes
Age range: Infancy - Answer 0-2 years
Age range: Early childhood - Answer 2-6 years
Age range: Middle childhood - Answer 6-11 years
Age range: Adolescence - Answer 11-18 years
Age range: Emerging adulthood - Answer 18-25 years
, Age range: Adulthood - Answer 25-65 years
Age range: Late adulthood - Answer 65 years old and over
Why are developmentalists reluctant to specify chronological ages for any period of
development? - Answer Time is one of many variables that affect each person
Development is multidirectional - Answer Over time, human characteristics change in
every direction; development isn't linear
Pace of change also varies: continuity and discontinuity
Gains and losses appear throughout life and are apparent throughout history
What is the critical period? - Answer Time when certain things must occur for normal
development
What is the sensitive period? - Answer Time when a particular development occurs most
easily
What 3 contexts' make up multi-contextual development? - Answer Social context
- Everyone who influences each developing person, immediately and over time, directly
and indirectly is included in social context
Historical context
- Cohort
- All persons born within a few years of one another are said to be a cohort, a group
defines by the shared age of its members
Socioeconomic context
- Socioeconomic status (SES): income, wealth, occupation, education, and
neighborhood; underlies every other system
- Age and cohort are entangled with SES
