Answers
qualitative |change |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-takes |place |when |a |new |kind |of |structure |or |
process |emerges |that |was |not |present |before
stages |of |development |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-a |child |changes |from |one |stage |to |another |
after |a |qualitative |change
How |do |nature |and |nurture |shape |development? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-patterns |of |thought
|and |behavior |that |emerge |in |much |the |same |way |regardless |of |experiences |are |considered |
the |result |of |nature, |whereas |nurture |is |said |to |describe |psychology |and |behavior |that |result |
from |specific |experiences
comparative |persective |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-comparisons |of |development |across |species
ethology |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-the |study |of |traits |from |an |adaptive |evolutionary |
perspective |that |usually |involves |comparisons |across |species
cognitive |science |perspective |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Asks |how |specific |skills |or |kinds |of |
knowledge |emerge |and |change |through |integration |of |different |fields |such |as |psychology, |
computer |science, |neuroscience, |genetics, |etc.
ecological |validity |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-whether |a |study |faithfully |captures |a |pattern |of |
behavior |that |would |occur |in |the |normal |circumstances |of |childhood
cohort |effects |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-a |given |age |group |might |differ |in |important |ways |from |
people |in |the |same |culture |who |are |somewhat |older |or |younger |(cross-sectional |studies)
, psychoanalytic |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-understanding |internal |mental |states

development
neurogenisis |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-creation |of |new |neurons
Thrifty |Phenotype |Hypothesis |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-when |the |fetal |environment |is |
nutritionally |poor |the |fetus |goes |through |a |programming |process |in |which |there |is |protection |
for |the |development |of |some |organs: |however |it |might |lead |to |metabolic |changes |that |may |
impact |later |stages |of |life
critical |periods |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-time |frames |in |which |certain |kinds |of |experiences |are |
crucial |for |normal |development
genotype |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-the |genetic |info |encoded |as |particular |allelles |in |an |
organism's |DNA
phenotype |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-the |ways |that |the |genetic |info |is |expressed |in |an |organism
regulatory |cascades |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-how |an |environment |can |trigger |an |expression |of
|a |gene |which |can |"turn |on/off" |other |genes
embryonic |period |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-the |period |from |2 |to |8 |weeks |after |fertilization, |
during |which |the |major |organs |and |structures |of |the |organism |develop, |teratogens |are |most |
harmful |during |this |period
