Document Summary

Physical, cognitive, social and moral how and why we change. 3 were hospitalized, 1 led an almost normal life. Behavioral differences among them must be due to differences in their environment. This effect is ignored if the nature of the study is cross sectional in design. It"s the research design that examines people of different ages at a single point in time. To deal with this problem, we use longitudinal design. It is a research design that examines development in the same group of people on multiple occasions over time. However: its costly, takes a long time, attrition of its members, they aren"t experimental studies so we can"t infer cause and effect relationship: influence of early experience: very important, especially on brain (organ that needs years to develop) Infant determinism first few years of life more influential than later years. On the contrary, children are shown to be very resilient: nature/nurture debate not settled.
