§ Argue that environmental influences likely produce permanent changes
§ Study children in orphanages who don't have attachment their emotional development

sensative period - Answer -o a point in development when organisms are particularly
susceptible to certain kinds of stimuli in their environments, but the absence of those
stimuli does not always produce irreversible consequences

psychodynamic persoective - Answer -§ the approach that states behavior is motivated
by inner forces, memories, and conflicts that are generally beyond people's awareness
and control
- · approach emphasizes emotions, motivational conflicts, and unconscious
determinants of behavior.
behvaioral persoective - Answer -§ The approach that suggests that the keys to
understanding development are observable behavior and outside stimuli in the
environment
- · emphasize overt behavior, paying far more attention to what people do than to what
goes on inside their heads, which is deemed largely irrelevant

looking more at what people think than at what they do.
evolutionary perspective - Answer -· focuses on how inherited biological factors underlie
development.
operant conditioning - who did it , what study and what is it - Answer -- BF skinner
A form of learning in which a voluntary response is strengthened or weakened by its
association with positive or negative consequences
, · Conducted on lab rats teaching reinforcement and that if u hit a button it will release a
treat to teach them to hit to lever
reinforcment - Answer -§ The process by which behavior is followed by a stimulus that
