birth |defect
Cohort* |- |ANSWER-Born |within |a |few |years |of |you |(go |through |the |same |thing), |a |group |defined |by |
the |shared |age |of |its |members, |born |about |the |same |time, |move |through |life |together, |experience |
same |historical |events |and |cultural |shifts
Longitudinal |research |design |- |ANSWER-A |way |to |study |development |over |a |lifespan, |not |always |the |
same |people=problem, |a |research |design |in |which |the |same |individuals |are |followed |over |time |and |
their |development |is |repeatedly |assessed
Cross |sectional |research |design |- |ANSWER-A |way |to |study |development |over |a |lifespan, |a |research |
design |that |compares |groups |of |people |who |differ |in |age |but |are |similar |in |other |important |
characteristics
Cross |sequential |research |design |- |ANSWER-A |way |to |study |development |over |a |lifespan, |a |hybrid |
research |design |in |which |researchers |first |study |several |groups |of |people |of |different |ages
Plasticity |- |ANSWER-Human |traits |can |be |molded |yet |people |maintain |a |certiain |durability |of |identity
Experimental |method |- |ANSWER-A |research |method |in |which |the |researcher |treies |to |determine |the |
cause |and |effect |relationship |between |two |variables |by |manipulating |one |and |observing |and |
recording |the |changes |in |the |other
Independent |variable |- |ANSWER-Manipulates, |variable |that |is |introduced |to |see |what |effect |it |has |on |
the |other |variable
, Dependent |variable |- |ANSWER-Measures, |the |variable |that |may |change |as |a |result |of |whaever |new |
condition |or |situation |the |experimenter |adds, |depends |on |the |other |variable
Experimental |group |- |ANSWER-Gets |special |treatment |from |the |independent |variable, |predicted |
outcome |is |significant |change |in |the |dependent |variable
Control |group |- |ANSWER-Used |for |comparision, |no |special |treatment, |and |no |change |in |the |
dependent |variable
Limitation |of |naturalistic |observation |- |ANSWER-Difficult, |may |act |different |due |to |observers
Limitation |of |case |study |method |- |ANSWER-Not |in |natural |habitat, |may |act |differently
Limitation |of |surveys |- |ANSWER-Can |be |influenced, |changed, |cant |have |total |accuracy, |cant |test |
everyone
Positive |correlation |- |ANSWER-Increase |together |and |decrease |together, |V1 |up, |V2 |up
Negative |correlation |- |ANSWER-Increase |while |other |decreases, |or |opposite |V1 |down, |V2 |up
Case |history |of |David |- |ANSWER-Required |heart |surgery |two |days |after |he |was |born |and |again |at |age |
5, |eye |surgery |at |6 |months |destroyed |one |of |his |eyes, |malformations |of |his |thumbs, |ankles, |feet, |
teeth, |spine, |and |brain, |severely |retarted, |plasticity |is |evident |(can |be |molded |yet |maintain |a |
durability)
What |are |the |5 |perspectives |on |development |- |ANSWER-Psychoanalytic, |behavioristic, |cognitive, |
sociocultural, |and |epignetic
Psychoanalytic |- |ANSWER-A |grand |theory |of |human |development |that |holds |irrational, |unconscious |
drives |and |motives, |often |originating |in |childhood, |underlie |human |behavior
