three types of prenatal diagnostic tests - (answer) ultrasound, amniocentesis, and chorionic villus
sampling (CVA)
,PSYC 140 FINAL EXAM NEWEST 2024 ACTUAL EXAM ALL 89 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED
ANSWERS
ultrasound - (answer) prenatal diagnostic technique that uses high frequency sounds to create an
image of the baby
amniocentesis - (answer) Prenatal diagnostic technique involving needle puncture of the amniotic sac
to withdraw amniotic fluid for analysis; looks for chromosomal and genetic abnormalities
chorionic villus sampling (CVS) - (answer) Prenatal diagnostic technique in which a small sample of the
fetal portion of the placenta is removed for analysis to detect certain genetic and congenital defects in
the fetus.
what are the three types of genetic-environment interactions? - (answer) passive, evocative, and
active
passive genotype-environment interaction - (answer) parents provide genetic disposition and
nurturing context to foster certain qualities
evocative genotype-environment interaction - (answer) parents provide genetic predisposition for a
child to evoke certain reactions in others that will influence their development
active genotype-environment interaction - (answer) parents provide genetic predisposition that results
in a child actively seeking out environmental conditions that foster development of certain qualities
three periods of neonatal development - (answer) germinal, embryonic, and fetal
germinal period - (answer) week 0-2
zygote created, attaches to uterus wall
embryonic period - (answer) week 2-8
layers of cells form that later develop into organs and systems
,PSYC 140 FINAL EXAM NEWEST 2024 ACTUAL EXAM ALL 89 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED
ANSWERS
fetal period - (answer) month 2-9
major growth and development
teratogens - (answer) agents that interfere with natural growth and produce a birth defect
which three variables determine a teratogen's effect? - (answer) - gestational age
- amount of teratogen
- susceptibility
When does organogenesis begin? - (answer) Around week 3 through week 8
why is stress a teratogen? - (answer) stress causes blood to be directed away from fetus and towards
mother's brain, limbs, heart. Cortisol can cross placenta and increase fetal HR
why is cognitive development more susceptible? - (answer) brain develops all throughout pregnancy
what are the three phases of childbirth? - (answer) - early & active labor
- delivery of baby
- delivery of the placenta
early labor and active labor - (answer) - longest stage
- starts at onset of true labor
- ends when cervix completely dilated
- 30-45 sec contractions w 5-30 min between
- 45-60 sec contractions w 3-5 min between
- amniotic sac may rupture
delivery of baby - (answer) - begins when cervix dilated
, PSYC 140 FINAL EXAM NEWEST 2024 ACTUAL EXAM ALL 89 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED
ANSWERS
- 20 min-2 hrs
delivery of placenta - (answer) - 5-10 min
- contractions again
- placenta separates from uterine wall
three drugs used in childbirth - (answer) analgesia, anesthesia, oxytocics
Analgesia vs Anesthesia - (answer) drugs that relieve pain; includes narcotics, tranquilizers, and
barbiturates
anesthesia - (answer) drugs that blocks pain, can be general or epidural
oxytocics - (answer) drugs that stimulate contractions and induce labor
postpartum biological adjustments - (answer) involution, sleep adjustments, physical healing
postpartum psychological adjustments - (answer) coordinating schedules, readjusting social
relationships, bonding with baby
pros and cons of naturalistic observation - (answer) pro: can observe natural behavior
con: can only study what you can see
pros and cons of case study - (answer) pro: rich and detailed info, especially in a rare case
con: may not be applicable to other cases
pros and cons of surveys - (answer) pro: a lot of info, large sample, easy
