critical period - correct answer- time during dev. when an event has its greatest
consquences & the presence of certain kinds of environmetal stimuli are necessary for
development to proceed normally
, sensitive period - correct answer- point in dev when organisms are suseptible to
certain kinds of stimuli around them but absence doesnt always cause irreversible
effects
nonhuman animal studies - correct answer- controls genetics and environment
offers substantial opportunities , but cannot guarantee generalization to humans
human studies - correct answer- -Includes adoption studies; twin studies; family
studies; non-related people of similar background studies
-Cannot control genetic background or human environments
nature - correct answer- traits, abilities & capacities are are inherited from ones
parents - encompasses any factor that is produced by the predetermined unfolding of
genetic information - a process known as maturation.
nurture - correct answer- environmental influences that shape behavior, can be
biological, social or societal - such as socioeconomic factors.
cohort - correct answer- group of people born around the same time in the same place
continuous and discontinuous - correct answer- 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.
nature, nurture and intelligence - correct answer- closer genetic link = greater
correspondence of overall IQ scores
influences on development - correct answer- sociocultutral- graded
age-graded
history-graded
nonnormative life event
history-graded influences - correct answer- biological & environmental influences
associated w a particular historical moment
continuous change - correct answer- development is gradual w/ achievements @ one
level building on those of previous levels
discontinous change - correct answer- development occurring in distinct stages, each
stage brings about behavior thats different from the previous
theory - correct answer- broad explanations and predictions ab phenomena of interest
what are the 6 major theoretical perspectives used? - correct answer- psychodynamic,
behavioral, cognitive, humanistic, contextual & evolutionary
, psychodynamic perspec - correct answer- states behavior is motivated by inner forces,
memories & conflicts that are generally beyond ppl's awareness/control
freud's psychoanalytic theory - correct answer- unconscious forces act to determine
personality & behavior
id - correct answer- raw unorganized part of personality present @ birth, represents
primitive drivers; operates according to pleasure principle

superego - correct answer- persons conscious, distincts from right & wrong
freud's psychosexual developement - correct answer- stages that children pass thru
where pleasure & gratification is focused on a particular biological function & body part
stages in psychosexual dev - correct answer- oral, anal, phallic, genitals
body proportions - correct answer- During the fetal period, the proportions of the body
change dramatically.
At 2 months, the head represents about half the fetus, but by the time of birth, it is one-
quarter of its total size.
erikson's psychosocial theory - correct answer- dev. that includes changes in the
understandings individuals have of themselves as members of society
8 stages of psychosocial - correct answer- 1. trust vs mistrust
2. autonomy vs shame
3. initiative vs guilt
4. industry vs inferiority
5. identity vs role diffusion
6. intimacy vs isolation
7. generavity vs isolation
8. ego-integrity vs despair
behavioral perspective - correct answer- suggests that the keys to understanding
development are observable behavior & environmental stimuli
what does behavioralists reflect is more important in development? - correct answer-
nurture over nature
what notion do behavioralists reject? and believe? - correct answer- that people
universally pass thru series of stages HOWEVER people are affected by the
environment stimuli that they're exposed to
