• Gesell’s maturation theory: In 1940-1950s Gesell has developed a new methodology research on child development which shows which kind of skills and a
child had in each age group. As well as that it also shows that he did research on the norms and milestones of each aspect. Gesell mentions that the enviro
child development had so little influence on it. An example could be if a child development delays then the problem could be heredity, which means that th
that a child develops will stay the same for a while and then later on their development could be increasing quickly. Gesell has created this theory so that p
find useful to measure their child’s development and to know if their child development delays.

Bandura has suggested that there is four stages of behaviour learning. The first one is that a child will notice another person’s behaviour such as someone w
they are really close to for example it could be that they seen the behaviour of their older siblings. Secondly the child could internalise the action by remem
what that person has done by observing them. The third one is that they might not copy the behaviour straight away but instead they will do at some point
comes to their opportunity. And lastly depending on the outcome a child could repeat the behaviour again when they first had their opportunity to act tha
behaviour in front of others.
• Stress-diathesis model: Stress-diathesis psychological model it can help us to explain how many times stressed has caused us in our life by interacting with
individual genetic vulnerability impact on other people’s mental wellbeing. This theory also suggest that some people are born with biological or genetic
predispositions mental illness, which is referred as diathesis. In comparison to that a person who had genetic predisposition or psychological disorder they
never develop this disorder if they do not experience stress in their life.
, B2 Genetic factors that affect
development – 250 words
• Genetic predispositions to particular conditions: Genetic predisposition means that at some point is possible that you could get inherited from one or both of y
parents. Although the genetic could make up predisposes of these conditions that cannot be altered, but we can sometimes alter the environmental factors an
support and treatment so that it can allow individuals to develop and lead their as healthy as possible.
• Cystic fibrosis: Cystic fibrosis is caused by a faulty gene which is carried 4 percent of the UK population. These gene is recessive, which means that both parents
have carries for their children to develop cystic fibrosis. In contrast to these when both parents carry a faulty gene, is one in four chances that this child will be
with cystic fibrosis.
• Brittle bone disease: Brittle bone disease might pass to a person parents or it can develop from a genetic mutation. Children born with brittle bone disease are
higher risk of fracturing or breaking their bones easily because their bones develop without the right amount or type of protein called collagen.
• Phenylketonuria (PKU): KU is a really rare genetic disorder that prevent a child from breaking down phenylalanine, an amino acid which is found in many foods
milk. In PKU if a child eat food containing phenylalanine then that means that there is a build-up of harmful substance in the body that can damage the brain. A
cannot be cured.
• Huntington’s disease: Huntington disease is an inherited neurodegenerative genetic disorder that can cause damage to certain nerve cell in the brain. It can aff
person muscle coordination and it cause mental decline or behavioural changes.
• Klinefelter Syndrome: Klinefelter Syndrome estimates that one in 600 boys will be born with this condition, which is referred to XXY chromosome. The extra X
chromosome needs to be acquired after the baby is conceived.
• Down’s Syndrome: Down syndrome is a genetic condition that occurs when a baby has a result of extra chromosome. We get to find out about this when it com
look at the baby’s chromosome when they are nearly about to be born and these could be identified different learning disability that they could have such as th
physical characteristic features associated with medical issues. Women who are 45 years or older there is less chance that they could give a birth to a baby wit
