Document Summary
Gene-environment interacions across an individual"s lifespan (cid:1) (cid:1: evoluion. Gene-environment interacions across the evoluionary history of a species: neuroscience. Development deiniion: refers to the changes and coninuiies that occur within the individual between concepion and death (cid:1) (cid:1) Maturaion deiniion: the biologically imed unfolding of changes within the individual according to that individual"s geneic plan. (cid:1) (cid:1) Learning deiniion: relaively permanent changes in our thoughts, behaviours and feelings as a result of our experiences. The acquisiion of neuronal representaions of new informaion. (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) Interacionist perspecive: the view that holds that maturaion and learning interact during development. Interacion perspecive is a theme through this unit, important to understanding: How our nervous system develops throughout a lifespan. Changes occurring earlier in life is more important than those that happen later on in life. Age 1-5 huge developmental changes (determines who you will become) where as 40-46 not so much.
