development
ans:> systematic continuities and changes in the individual over the
course of life
developmental continuities
ans:> ways in which we remain stable over time or continue to reflect our
past
developmental psychology
ans:> the branch of psychology devoted to identifying and explaining the
continuities and changes that individuals display over time
developmentalist
ans:> any scholar, regardless of discipline, who seeks to understand the
developmental process
maturation
ans:> developmental changes in the body or behavior that result from
the aging process rather than from learning, injury, illness, or some other
life experience
learning
ans:> a relatively permanent change in behavior that results from one's
experiences or practice
normative development
ans:> developmental changes that characterize most or all members of
a species; typical patterns of development
ideographic development
,ans:> individual variations in the rate, extent, or direction of development
holistic perspective
ans:> a unified view of the developmental process that emphasizes the
important interrelationships among the physical, mental, social, and
emotional aspects of human development
plasticity
ans:> capacity for change; a developmental state that has the potential
to be shaped by experience
scientific method
ans:> the use of objective and replicable methods to gather data for the
purpose of testing a theory or hypothesis; it dictates that, above all,
investigators must be objective and must allow their data to decide the
merits of their thinking
theory
ans:> a set of concepts and propositions designed to organize, describe,
and explain an existing set of observations
hypothesis
ans:> a theoretical prediction about some aspect of experience
reliability
ans:> the extent to which a measuring instrument yields consistent
results, both over time (temporal) and across observers (interrater)
validity
ans:> the extent to which a measuring instrument accurately reflects
what the researchers intended to measure
structured interview/questionnaire
ans:> a technique in which all participants are asked the same questions
in precisely the same order so that the responses of different participants
can be compared
diary study
ans:> a questionnaire method in which participants write answers to
specified questions in a diary or notebook, either at predetermined times
or when prompted by an electronic pager
clinical method
,ans:> a type of interview in which a participant's response to each
question (or problem) determines what the investigator will ask next
naturalistic observation
ans:> a method in which the scientist tests hypotheses by observing
people as they engage in everyday activities in their natural habitats
observer influence
ans:> the tendency of participants to react to an observer's presence by
behaving in unnatural ways
structured observation
ans:> an observational method in which the investigator attempts to elicit
the behavior of interest and observes participants' responses in a
laboratory
case study
ans:> a research method in which the investigator gathers extensive
information about the life of an individual and then tests developmental
hypotheses by analyzing the events of the person's life history
ethnography
ans:> a method in which the researcher seeks to understand the unique
values, traditions, and social processes of a culture or subculture by
living with its members and making extensive observations and notes
psychophysiological methods
ans:> methods that measure the relationships between physiological
processes and aspects of children's physical, cognitive, social, or
emotional behavior/development
correlational design
ans:> a type of research design that indicates the strength of
associations among variables; though correlated variables are
systematically related, these relationships are not necessarily causal
correlational coefficient
ans:> a numerical index, ranging from -1.00 to +1.00, describing the
strength and direction of the relationship between two variables
experimental design
, ans:> a research design in which the investigator introduces some
change in the participant's environment and then measures the effect of
that change on the participant's behavior
independent variable
ans:> the aspect of the environment that an experimenter modifies or
manipulates in order to measure its impact on behavior
dependent variable
ans:> the aspect of behavior that is measured in an experiment and
assumed to be under the control of the independent variable
confounding variable
ans:> some factor other than the independent variable that, if not
controlled by the experimenter, could explain any differences across
treatment conditions in participants' performance on the dependent
variable
experimental control
ans:> steps taken by an experimenter to ensure that all extraneous
factors that could influence the dependent variable are roughly
equivalent in each experimental condition, and to ensure that observed
changes in the dependent variable were indeed caused by the
manipulation of the independent variable
random assignment
ans:> a control technique in which participants are assigned to
experimental conditions through an unbiased procedure so that the
members of the groups are not systematically different from one another
ecological validity
ans:> the state of affairs in which the findings of one's research are an
accurate representation of processes that occur in the natural
environment
field experiment
ans:> an experiment that takes place in a naturalistic setting such as
home, school, or a playground
natural (or quasi-) experiment
ans:> a study in which the investigator measures the impact of some
naturally occurring event that is assumed to affect people's lives
