Hayflick limit
Give this one a try later!
The number of times a human cell is capable of dividing into two new cells.
The limit for most human cells is approximately 50 divisions, an indication
that the life span is limited by our genetic program.
,Explain why ecobiodevelopmentalists endorse early intervention strategies.
Give this one a try later!
Policy makers and caregivers are encouraged to embrace an
interdisciplinary approach to human development because the origins of
many impairments can be biologically embedded through gene-
environment interactions beginning at conception and continuing
throughout the early years of life.
SOCIAL AND PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT IN EARLY ADULTHOOD
Give this one a try later!
- Explain the theories of social and personality development in the early
adulthood years.
- Summarize the issues involved in establishing intimate relationships as a

- Discuss the effects of parenthood and other relationships on

SOCIAL AND PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT IN MIDDLE ADULTHOOD
Give this one a try later!
- Explain the theories of social and personality development in the middle
adulthood years.
- Trace the changes in relationships across middle adulthood.
- Identify the changes in the importance of work in middle adulthood.
,Friendships
Give this one a try later!
- Gain importance in the lives of elders, seen as they diminish in number.
- Contact w/ friends has a significant impact on overall life satisfaction, on
self-esteem, and on the amount of loneliness reported by older adults.
Age
Give this one a try later!
- Interacts w/ other variables to influence health, a pattern suggesting
influence of secondary aging.
- Age interacts w/ social class. Differences among young adults across
social class groups are fairly small. W/ increasing age however, the
differences become much larger.
- Changes in behaviour may prevent or even reverse the effects of aging.
Caring for aging parents (Middle-aged adults)
Give this one a try later!
- A great majority of adults feel a strong sense of responsibility to their
aging parents.
- When their parents need assistance, they endeavour to provide it.
- About 1/5 Canadian family members and friends provide care to a senior.
, The Exosystem
Give this one a try later!
- Socio-economic context
- Includes the institutions of the culture that affect children's development
indirectly.
Social-Cognitive Theories
Give this one a try later!
- Albert Bandura's theory of personality, which emphasizes the importance
of observational learning, conscious cognitive processes, social
experiences, self-efficacy beliefs, and reciprocal determinism.
- What a person learns from observing other is influenced by attention,
memory, and maturation.
- Social cognitive theory distinguishes between enactive and vicarious
learning.
- Learning does not always require reinforcement; sometimes we learn
from watching others.
Presbyopia

- Impaired vision as a result of aging.
- The lens of the eye thickens.
