|| 100% Correct Answers.
development correct answers a pattern of changes that begin at conception and continue
throughout the lifespan - systematic - changes are sustained (remain for long period of time {not
technically perminent} you learn to walk and dont really forget)
Maturation correct answers maturational changes are specific (boobs, voice dropping) - part of
development but specific - specific to individual - spontaneous
types of development correct answers biological
- physical
-personal
cognitive
-intelligence
-language
-style of thinking
social
-changes in the ways we relate to others and environment
nature vs nurture correct answers we are who we are born as (DNA) VS. we are who we are
based on how we grew up and environment
-sources of development
continuous vs discontinuous correct answers -can be both-
Continuous - development is gradual, incremental, smooth transition
,Discontinuous-milestones or patterns (Piaget), large gains - can do something you previously
could not
Shape development
Principles of development correct answers individual differences
progression
timing
tempo
Patterns of Development correct answers directionality - cephalocaudal & proximodistal
independence of systems
canalization
cephalocaudal correct answers top of body to the bottom - head first - body catches up - babies
have big heads
proximodistal correct answers inside out - we grow from center of our body out - except during
puberty (limbs grow faster)
independence of systems correct answers systems develop at different rates
, biologically grown up but cognitively not (ie teen moms)
Canalization correct answers resilient - if development is delayed or disrupted it will persist once
conditions are right (EX: abandoned kids may be developmentally behind but once in a stable
environment their development can continue
Neurons correct answers nerve cells that transmit info
2 million at birth
communicate with eachother
overproduction correct answers more neurons than we will ever need
makes our brains more efficient and allow us to respond expediently
Pruning correct answers neurons are pruned - the ones not used are gotten rid of - use it or lose it
- either taking up space or not receiving stimulation
apoptosis correct answers pruning
dying of brain cells
myelination correct answers fatty substance - helps transmit impulses across the neurons - glial
cells - cells fired (wired) together - adapt to faster way of doing something - brain pays attention
plasticity correct answers brains flexibility
