rates of usage after marijuana legalization - Correct Answer-havent changed
gender using marijuana more - Correct Answer-males (see it as less risky)
short term negative effects of marijuana - Correct Answer-brain is still developing,
impaired executive functioning (problem solving), poor memory, recall, attention
cognitive theories - Correct Answer-motivated by how we think about and understand
things in the world - development/behaviour are the result of thought/cognition
major cognitive theories/theorists - Correct Answer-Piaget and Information Processing
Theory
Piaget's cognitive Developmental Theory - Correct Answer-children and adults are
active explorers of their world and organize what they learn in a certain way in their
head
Information Processing Theory - Correct Answer-we behave the way we do because
we've learned certain things and processed them in a certain way (thinking is
information processing)
sociocultural systems theory - Correct Answer-behaviour is motivated by multiple
environments in which we exist both direct (people) and indirect (political) - people
inseparable from multiple contexts where they exist
, major sociocultural systems theories - Correct Answer-Vygotsky's sociocultural systems
theory and Bronfenbrenner's bioecological systems theory
Vygotsky's Sociocultural Systems theory - Correct Answer-examines how culture is
transmitted from one generation to the next through social interaction (formal and
informal contacts teach children culture)
Bronfenbrenner's bioecological theory - Correct Answer-addresses both the role of the
individual and that individual's social interactions (individual as active participant in
developing in contexts)
parts of genetic inheritance - Correct Answer-genes, chromosomes, and what we inherit
from our parents
how do genes come? - Correct Answer-in pairs
dominant genes - Correct Answer-always expressed regardless of gene pairing
recessive genes - Correct Answer-expressed dependent on other gene pairing
examples of dominant/recessive genes - Correct Answer-hair colour, eye colour,
trends in maternal age - Correct Answer-women getting pregnant later (30-40)
age and risks of high risk pregnancy - Correct Answer-35, down syndrome, stillborn
how many calories pregnant women need - Correct Answer-2/3000 per day
B vitamin crucial in pregnancy - Correct Answer-Folic acid linked with spinobifida
role of stress in pregnancy - Correct Answer-poses risk to fetus of low birth weight,
premature, longer hospital stay, raised heart rate and activity
long term effects of stress in pregnancy - Correct Answer-ADHD, anxiety, aggression
what prenatal care does - Correct Answer-improves outcomes through basic services
what prenatal care is - Correct Answer-nutrition, doctor visits,
Psychoanalytic theories - Correct Answer-behaviour is internally motivated and
influenced by unconscious inner thoughts and conflicts
(Behaviourist) Operant Conditioning - Correct Answer-behaviour becomes more or less
probable depending on its consequences - rewards and punishments
