Sensorimotor stage
observed geese learn very quickly to follow mothers without any learning. This is
because usually the mother is the first moving thing they see
,Give this one a try later!
Konrad Lorenz
a statistical measure of the extent to which two factors vary together, and thus of how
well either factor predicts the other (-1 to +1).
Give this one a try later!
correlation coefficient
systematic examination of subjective mental experiences that requires people to
inspect and report on the content of their thoughts
Give this one a try later!
Introspection
A correlation where as one variable increases, the other also increases, or as one
decreases so does the other. Both variables move in the same direction. the closer to
+1, the closer they are correlated
Give this one a try later!
positive correlation
,characteristics that cannot be directly observed; used to describe behavior ex.
empathy
Give this one a try later!
Constructs
a testable prediction, often prompted by a theory, to enable us to accept, reject or
revise the theory.
Give this one a try later!
Hypothesis
-newborns imitate adult expression
-Oostenbroeket al (2016) found little evidence for these effects in a much larger
sample.

Melzoff and Moore study (1977)
the extent to which variables measure what they are supposed to measure

, construct validity
pubic hair, body hair, muscle mass increases for boys, and fat deposits on the hips and
breasts for females
Give this one a try later!
Secondary sexual characteristics
all people instinctually seek to form attachment bonds of some sort (except perhaps
in certain kinds of pathology)
Give this one a try later!
Universality
Identifies a measurement procedure for measuring an external behavior; Uses the
resulting measurements as a definition and a measurement of a hypothetical construct
ex. measure empathy by charity donations

operational definition
the science of processing data for storage and retrieval.
