PS102 Chapter Notes - Chapter 11: Primary Motor Cortex, Jean Piaget, Sensory Cortex
Document Summary
Refers to the continuities and changes that occur within the individual between conception and death. The most dramatic changes occur early in the lifespan. The biologically-timed unfolding of changes within the individual according to their genetic plan. The experiences that we go through that lead to enduring changes in our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. The view that developmental change is the product of what happens when maturation and learning interact with each other. Can"t just ask an infant about how they experience the world. An individual may fail a task not because they lack those abilities, but because they were unable to show those abilities. Thus, what we know about infants is only as good as our tools for measuring their abilities. Used to determine if the infant can detect the difference between two stimuli. Present a male voice until infant shows boredom in a response you"re measuring.
