Exam Questions and Answers
Three assumptions made by lifespan developmentalists are - -1. focus on
human development, 2. understanding of stability in addition to growth and
change and 3. perception that development persists throughout our entire
lives
- the time when children utter their first complete sentence is an example of
- -age graded influence
- grady believes that human development occurs in small measurable
amounts. His sister Andrea disagrees and suggests that human development
is more distinct and steplike. Their argument is most reflective of the
________________________ issue - -continuous vs discontinuous
- A _____________ is a specific time during development when a particular
event has its greatest consequence - -critical period

phenomena of interest and provide frameworks for understanding the
relationships across variables - -Theories

one's actions involves observation of those actions and the outside stimuli in
the environment - -behavioral

anatomy begin developing.
C. The first and shortest stage, where the zygote begins to divide and grow
in complexity during the first 2 weeks following conception. - -A. fetal
