Human Growth and Development 82questions and answers
Development - answer Seeks to understand how and why people-all kinds of people,
everywhere-change or remain the same over time.
Cohort - answer A group of people who were born at about the same time and thus move
through life together, experiencing the same historical events and cultural shifts.
Social Construction - answer Aspect of society that has been constructed, thought up, defined
by society. It is
not something that is a natural part of the world or inherited through genes.
Physical Domain - answer The physiological changes that happen in the body, such as puberty.
Emotional Domain - answer learning to recognize and name one's own feelings and cultivating
empathy for the feelings of others.
Cognitive Domain - answer Learning skills predominantly related to mental (thinking) processes.
Linguistics Domain - answer is the scientific study of human language including
structure/grammar and meaning.
Social Domain - answer interpersonal performance of learning skills related to communication,
teamwork, management, and leadership.
Scientific Method - answer A way to answer questions that require empirical research and data
based conclusions.
, Replication - answer The repetition of a scientific study, using the same procedure on a
similar(but not identical) group of participants, in order to verify, or refine, or dispute the
original studies conclusion.
Case Study - answer A research method in which one individual is studied intensively.
Longitudinal Study - answer A research design in which the same individuals are followed over
time and their development is repeatedly assessed.
Cross Sectional - answer Collect data at once. Compare groups. Any differences, presumably are
the result of age.
Longitudinal - answer Collect data multiple times at X yearly intervals. Any differences for these
individuals are definitely the result of passage of time (but might be due to events or historical
changes as well as age).
Cross Sequential - answer Collect multiple data X times, following the original group but also
adding a new group each time. Analyze data three ways, 1. comparing groups of the same ages
studied at different times. Any differences over time between groups who are the same age are
probably cohort effects. 2. compare the same group as they grow older. Any differences are the
result of time (not only age). 3. compare differences between the same people as they grow
older, after the cohort effects (from the first analysis) are taken into account. Any remaining
differences are almost certainly the result of age.
Cognitive Theory - answer A grand theory of human development that focuses on changes in
how people think over time. According to this theory, our thoughts shape our attitudes, beliefs,
and behaviors. (Piaget)
Developmental Theory - answer A group of ideas, assumptions, and generalizations that
interpret and illuminate the thousands of observations that have been made about human
growth. In this way, developmental theories provide a framework for explaining the patterns
and problems of development.
