DEP-3103 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Participant Observation, Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale, Genomic Imprinting
Document Summary
Chapter 1: history, theory and applied directions: understand the difference between the three basic issues of child development, including all terms that go along with each. Be able to apply the concepts of these issues across many contexts (e. g. , table 1. 3). Environmental: (immediate environment) home, school, neighborhood (macro environment) community resources and culture. Continuous: a process of gradually adding more and more of the same types of skills that were already there. Discontinuous: a process when new ways of understanding and responding to the world come at specific times. *theories that accept the discontinuous perspective say development takes place in stages (like a staircase), change is very sudden rather than gradual. Context: unique combinations of personal and environmental cirumstances that can result in different path of change. Theories that stress nurture emphasize change/plasticity: be able to describe and pick out historical views of childhood and all terms (e. g. , original sin, noble savages, tabula rasa, etc).
