Natural Selection and Adaptive Behavior - ANSWER: Natural selection is the process
by which certain individuals of a species are best adapted survive and reproduce.
Natural selection fuels evolution. Adaptive behavior is behavior that promotes the
organism's survival in a natural habitat.
Evolutionary Psychology - ANSWER: Adaptation, reproduction, and "survival of the
fittest" are important in shaping behavior. An extended childhood period is needed
to develop a large brain and learn the complexity of human social communities.
Genetics and environment influences are bidirectional.
Behavior Genetics - ANSWER: What traits are influenced genes or environment. Twin
Studies. Adoption Studies.
Mitosis vs. Meiosis - ANSWER: Mitosis: one division forming 2 identical cells (clones);
Meiosis: two divisions forming 4 genetically different cells (gametes)
Zygote - ANSWER: a diploid cell resulting from the fusion of two haploid gametes; a
fertilized ovum.
Biological processes - ANSWER: Aging caused by change in tips of chromosomes.
polygenic inheritance - ANSWER: An additive effect of two or more genes on a single
phenotypic character.
Freud (1856-1939) Psychosexual Stages - ANSWER: EARLY CHILDHOOD is MORE
IMPORTANT. Behavior is driven by Unconscious and emotions.
oral stage, anal stage, phallic stage, latency stage, genital stage
Erikson's Theory of Psychosocial Development - ANSWER: People pass through 8
psychosocial stages of development. A crisis is resolved at each stage
trust, autonomy, initiative, industry, identity, intimacy, generativity, integrity
Piaget's Cognitive Developmental Theory - ANSWER: Children actively construct
knowledge by manipulating and exploring their world. Development in stages-
Sensorimotor, Pre-Operational (symbolism/language), Concrete Operational
(concrete logic), Formal Operational (abstract ideas).
Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory - ANSWER: Complex mental activities develop
through joint activities with more mature members of child's society
, Information Processing Theory - ANSWER: a perspective that compares human
thinking processes, by analogy, to computer analysis of data, including sensory input,
connections, stored memories, and output
Operant Conditioning - ANSWER: Learning based on the consequences of
responding.
Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory - ANSWER: Emphasizes behavior, environment,
and cognition as the key factors in development
Ecological Theory - ANSWER: Human development is inseparable from the
environmental contexts in which a person develops
X-linked inheritance (X-linkage) - ANSWER: Genes linked to the X chromosome. Men
are more affect because they have only one X
Genotype - ANSWER: genetic makeup of an organism
Phenotype - ANSWER: the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting
from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.
Scientific Method - ANSWER: A series of steps followed to solve problems including
collecting data, formulating a hypothesis, testing the hypothesis, and stating
conclusions.
Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory - ANSWER: views the person as
developing within a complex system of relationships affected by multiple levels of
the surrounding environment
Konrad Lorenz (1903-1989) - ANSWER: Zoologist who focused on critical attachment
periods in baby birds, a concept he called imprinting
John Bolby's (Ethology) - ANSWER: infants who develop one or more good
attachments have a sense of security and safety
Descriptive Research - ANSWER: Observing behavior to describe that behavior
objectively and systematically. Data collection, shows piece of the puzzle.
Correlational Research - ANSWER: Identifies the strength of relationships between
events, characteristics. Behavior prediction.
Experimental Research - ANSWER: Studies that seek clues to cause-effect
relationships by manipulating one or more factors (independent variables) while
controlling others (holding them constant). Experimental and control group, peer
reviewed. Can results be repeated?
