Document Summary

Psych 1200 ch 11 some children exposed to extreme adversity are highly resilient & thrive later in life. Developmental psychology changes in biological, physical, psychological, & behavioural processes. 4 broad issues of developmental research: nature vs. nurture, critical (age range in which certain experiences must occur) & sensitive periods (optimal age range for certain experiences, continuity vs. discontinuity, stability vs. change. 5 developmental psychologists: no change, continuous change (continuity, stages (discontinuity, inverted u-shaped function, u-shaped function. Cross-sectional design e. g. compare ppl of different age @ same point in time (intellectual abilities: quick data collection, drawback: cohorts (different age groups) grew up in different historical periods. Longitudinal design repeatedly tests same cohort as it grows older: drawback: time consuming, sample may shrink. Sequential design combines cross-sectional & longitudinal approaches can repeatedly test several age cohorts as they grow older & determine patterns; comprehensive but time consuming & costly.
