What are the four key principles of growth?
1) Growth rates not constant. 2) Different parts of the body grow at different rates. 3) Growth rates vary between children. 4) The growth rate of boys in a space of time is faster than girls.
1 of 109
Identify the gross motor skills an infant will
6 months- infants gradually control muscles in neck and back so they can roll sit and crawl. 11/13 months- muscles in legs develop so they can stand and walk. 2 years- infants climb onto low furniture.
2 of 109
Identify the fine motor skills an infant will experience
Newborns are born with grasp reflex so they can grasp adult finger. 3 month- hold a rattle-GRIPPING SKILL 12 months- pick up small objects using pincer grasp. 18 months- build blocks-MANIPULATION SKILL, use spoon, make marks with crayon using palma

Identify the primary sexual characteristics in females
menstruation begins, uterus and vagina grow, ovulation occurs.
6 of 109
Identify the secondary sexual characteristics in females
growth of pubic hair, hips widen due to redistribution of fat (allow child to move), breasts enlarge areolas darken (easier for infant to locate).
7 of 109
Identify the primary sexual characteristics in males
penis enlarges, prostate gland produces secretions, testes enlarge and produce sperm.
8 of 109
Identify the secondary sexual characteristics in males
facial hair, increased muscle, growth spurt, larynx grows causing voice to deepen
9 of 109
Identify the physical changes experienced by an individual during early adulthood
The individual reaches physical maturity: motor coordination is at its peak, full height, and reaction time quickest, women at most fertile & lactation occurs, women enter perimenopause, hand eye coordination at its peak, sexual characteristic fully
10 of 109
What happens during perimenopause?
Oestrogen decreases, ovulation is irregular which makes menstruation less frequent.they reach end of reproductive years – perimenopause. The reduction of oestrogen causes physical and emotional symptoms such as – hot flushes, loss of libido, night
11 of 109
Explain the roles of oestrogen & progesterone
Oestrogen – plays the most important role in female sexuality and regulates ovulation. Progesterone - necessary for their implantation of fertilised eggs in the uterus, the maintenance of pregnancy and sexual health.
12 of 109
Menopause is a natural physiological change, explain what happens due to the reduction of oestrogen
Ovaries stop making eggs & thinning/shrinking of vagina, reduction affects hypothalamus in brain which regulates temp, causing hot flushes & mood swings as oestrogen regulates neurotransmitters that affect mood.

What is Jean Piaget’s theory on intellectual development
Piaget believed that children go through 4 universal stages of cognitive development, his research focused on how children acquire the ability to think. He suggested that a four year old cannot use abstract logical thinking as they are not capable
14 of 109
What are the four stages Piaget speaks about in his theory?
Sensorimotor 0-2, Pre-operational 2-7, Concrete operational 7-11, Formal operational 11-18
15 of 109
What is the sensorimotor stage? (0-2)
infant learns about environment & develop early schemas (concepts) by using all their senses physically to explore the world.
16 of 109
What is the Pre-operational stage? (2-7)
children begin to control their environment by using symbolic behaviour including representational words and drawings and pretend play, but are unable to think logically.
17 of 109
What is the concrete operational stage? (7-11)
children will use practical resources to help them understand the world such as counters for maths. They classify categories and use logic to understand things they see.
18 of 109
What is the formal operational stage? (11-18)
Young people can have the capacity for abstract thought, rational thought and problem solving.
19 of 109
What is conservation?
Conservation refers to children’s understanding that the amount remains the same even when the containers shape has changed. Piaget also used tests using solids, weight and number. (Conservation of solid, liquid and number)
20 of 109
Why did Piaget believe children under 7 can’t conserve?
Piaget’s tests shows that children under 7 cannot conserve because they cannot think about more than one aspect of a situation at one time. By the operation stage at 7 years old, children can think logically so understand that the quantity is fixed.
21 of 109
What is egocentricsim and what study proves piagets theory?
Piaget believed that until 7 years old children only see things from their viewpoint. He used the Swiss mountain test to prove his theory of egocentrism. – Child cannot describe mountain from dolls perspective.
22 of 109
Explain a theorist who would disagree with Piaget
Bruner disagreed with Piagets theory he said children can think logically as long as they understand what the problem is and how to deal with it. – change language so it’s easier for them to understand.
23 of 109
What did Noam Chomsky propose?
LAD as the hypothetical part of the human mind that allows infants to acquire & produce language. He believes ability to learn language is INNATE.
24 of 109
What does Chomsky suggest about LANGAUGE ACQUSITION DEVICE
1)Are born with a structure in their brain that enables them to acquire language.2)Have a key period for first language development for first years of life.3)All follow same pattern of language development.4)Innate understanding of universal grammar.
25 of 109
What is Bowlby’s theory?
Infants are biologically pre-programmed to form attachment, early months infants form one primary attachment (mother), attachment to primary care giver is a model for future attachments.
26 of 109
Who criticises Bowlby?
Schaffer & Emerson- they criticize Bowlby and say any parent can be primary caregiver and from attachment. Whoever responds to their signals, not just mother. 3months- responds to any caregiver. 4-7months- shows preference for primary caregiver.
27 of 109
What is Mary Ainsworth’s Strange situation classification?
Classes’ attachments into three main types based on studies of children’s reactions when parted from parents. These include secure, insecure/avoidant and insecure/resistant. Disrupted attatchment may cause difficulty forming relationships.
28 of 109
Explain what a secure attatchement is
parent in tune with their child and their emotions – child will be distressed when primary caregiver leaves, greets them when they return; seeks comfort from caregiver when upset, happy with strangers when caregiver is present.
29 of 109
Explain what an insecure/avoidant attatchement is
unavailable to child/rejects them – does not show distress when primary caregiver leaves; continues to explore environment; may go to stranger for comfort.
30 of 109
Explain what an insecure/resistant attatchement is
parent is inconsistent in meeting the child’s needs – sows distress when primary caregiver leaves but resists contact on their return; shows anxiety and insecurity.
31 of 109
What does Gessel’s theory speak about?
Gesells’s maturation theory helps to explain how biological maturation is related to overall development. – theory that states development is due to nature and nurture. He believes a child is born with a set of genetic instructions which are innate.
32 of 109
What beliefs are Gesell’s theory based around
1)Development is genetically determined from birth.2)Children follow the same orderly sequence in their development.3)The pace of development may vary depending on physical and intellectual development.
33 of 109
What are the positives of Gesell’s maturation theory
He determined typical norms of development that are still used today. He used advanced methodology I observations of behaviour of large numbers of children.
34 of 109
What are the negatives of Gesell’s maturation theory
He did not consider the influence of individual or cultural differences in children. He believed that the ‘norms’ of development he described were desirable. CASE STUDY OF GENIE DISAPROVES HIS THEORY.
35 of 109
What is Banduras social learning theory
Based on a belief that learning happens through observing, imitating and modelling behaviours of others.
36 of 109
What was the Bobo Doll experiment?
Children were shown adults being aggressive or non-aggressive towards the bobo doll. The experiment was designed by Bandura to show that: children would copy aggressive behaviour form another person.
37 of 109
What were the results of the Bobo Doll experiment?
1) children learned aggressive behaviour through observation. 2) Children were more likely to imitate an adult who was rewarded for aggressive behaviour than one who was reprimanded.
38 of 109
What is the stress-Diathesis ?
It explains how both nature and nurture play a role in development of psychological disorders. Stress- traumatic events in a persons life e.g.abuse. Diathesis – predisposition to mental disorders due to an abnormality of the brain.
39 of 109
Biological factors- Give an example of a dominant gene
Brittle Bone disease – it can also develop from genetic mutation. Children born with this are at risk of breaking bones easier because their bodies do not make the right amount of collagen.Can be treated through physiotherapy/drugs to strengthen bone
40 of 109
Biological factors- What’s the difference between dominant & Recessive genes?
Dominant- defective gene that only needs to be passed by one parent not both. Recessive genes- defective gene that can only be passed if both parents have it.
41 of 109
Biological factors- Give an example of a recessive gene
Cystic fibrosis-caused by a defective protein produced which causes a build-up of thick mucus which can cause damage to lungs. People may suffer from respetory and chest infections. Most kids have short life expectancy, this has increased.
42 of 109
Biological factors- Give an example of a mutation disorder
Down syndrome – individuals have an extra copy of chromosome 21, this causes characteristic facial features, growth delay and intellectual disability.
43 of 109
Biological factors- What are they impacts of foetal alcohol syndrome
this syndrome is caused by exposure in the womb, symptoms- small head circumference, neurological problems, abnormal growth, and developmental delay.
44 of 109

infections such as rubella (measles) or CMV (herpes) can be passed to the baby in the womb through placenta that may cause- health problems, congenital defects, still birth, miscarriage.
45 of 109
Biological factors- What are the factors contributing to congenital anomalies?
genetic such as down syndrome, environmental such as maternal exposure to radiation causing abnormal growth, infection such as rubella resulting in deafness, nutritional such as deficiency in folate which increases the risk of neural tube defect.

Describe how the Holmes-Rahe social adjustment rating scale is usedf
They listed 43 life events an individual may experience, they applied a score to each life event depending on the amount of stress they cause, patients indicate what events they experience, patients then add up their scores.
68 of 109
What were the results of this study?
Holmes and Rahe found there was a correlation between the number of units and their illness.

70 of 109
Affects of ageing- what’s the second change found in the heart?
Artery walls narrow due to clogging by fats called cholesterol, preventing blood from passing easily.
71 of 109
Affects of ageing- what’s the third change found in the heart?
Pacemaker cells decrease causing problems in the rhythm of heart.
72 of 109
Affects of ageing- what’s the final change found in the heart?

Degeneration of nervous tissue- what occurs with the degeneration of taste
With age the number of taste buds decreases and saliva, reducing the enjoyment of food and perhaps as resulting in poor diet.ability to smell decreases reducing the ability to detect dangerous odours such as fumes or foods that have gone off.
78 of 109
Degeneration of nervous tissue- reduced Number of receptor cells leads to what
Reduced sensitivity to temp, which can lead to burns, frostbite or hypothermia. Reduced sensitivity to injury which can lead to untreated sores. Skin becoming more sensitive to sun leads to skin cancer
79 of 109
Degeneration of nervous tissue- Degeneration of sight leads to
