Developmental PsychologyIntroduction: theories and 3 core questions
Development is understanding constancy and change and for us developmental psychologists it is actually
through conception through adolescence it says but lifespan development actually covers old age as well. What
we learn can impact education, can impact how we treat our children, what are the common practices. It has
interdisciplinary meaning it doesn't stand on its own as a developmental psychology. There are several
different domains of development including the development of the child but also the changing times as well
it's dynamic in several respects. Developmental psychology is based on theories and today we're going to see
many theories however very superficially. There are three central questions of developmental psychology:
nature versus nurture in development, plasticity, development open to change and plasticity. The second
question is whether development is continuous or discontinuous right now. These central core questions
define every developmental psychologist where they stand on issues so nobody's free from thinking about
these three questions.
A balanced view embraces both continuous and discontinuous change and a balanced view of change. A critical
period is a period during which specific biological or environmental events are required for normal
development to occur. If environmental events or biological factors weren't in place normal development will
not happen. Geese imprint when they hatch from an egg between 13 and 16 hours they need to see a moving
object or a being an organism it does n't have to be a living object. This is a critical period if they see no one in
that critical period of time then they will not show this imprinting behavior. In the early 1960s no drugs struck
more fear into the hearts of pregnant women for most horrifying episodes in medical history then filled it in it
changed our relationship with the drugs we use. In Germany there was no prescription needed. The German
company that developed though an amide chemi grune in fall claim the even pregnant women could take it.
Dr. Kelsey's Disability is Back - The official term is Full Camellia. Coming from the Greek meaning shorter arms
or flipper lake, the delay of the drugs approval for more than a year had prevented a similar scale of tragedy
from unfolding in the United States. Dr. Cozy was absolutely a unique hero in American history but the lid
amides reached continued to be felt across the rest of the world including in Trinidad and Tobago where Giselle
Cole was born. Popota might actually be effective in treating certain illnesses and several doctors are now
trying to use it with cancer patients. Popota stunts growth it cuts the blood supply to developing tumors then it
does a very good job, but there are side effects were seen with pregnant women there were n't these kind of
drastic side effects with adults who were not pregnant so the idea is that tallada might was a very dangerous
drug and affected everyone. What are stages the for defining qualities of stages this was an exam question last
year. One stage does not resemble the other perfectly, there are four criteria for developmental stages. The
shift in stages happens across multiple domains of knowledge and thoughts. The change from one stage to the
next is rapid, it 's fast, the changes that happen during state shifts form a coherent pattern.
In the medieval era, childhood was perceived by adults to be up till 7 or 8 years of age now this probably seems
