5005647344NutureA general term for all the environmental influences that affect development after an individual is conceived.6
5005647345Lifespan perspectiveAn approach to the study of human development that takes into account all phases of life, not just childhood or adulthood.7
5005647346Critical periodA time when a particular type of development growth (in the body or behavior) must happen if it is ever going to happen.8
5005647347Sensitive periodA time when a certain type of development is most likely to happen or happens most easily, although it may still happen later with more difficulty. For example, early childhood is considered a sensitive period for language learning.9
5005647348Ecological systems approachThe view that in the study of human development, the person should be considered in all the context and interactions that continue a life. Later renamed bioecological theory.10
5005647349CohortA group defined by the shared age of its members, who, because they were born at about the same time, move through life together, experiencing the same store Acole events and cultural shifts.11
5005647350Socioeconomic statusA person's position in society as determined by income, wealth, occupation, education, and place of residence. Sometimes called social class.12
5005647351CultureA system of shared beliefs, norms, behaviors, and expectations that persist over time and prescribe social behavior in assumptions.13
5005647352Social constructionAnd ideas that is based on shared perceptions, not on objective reality. Many age related terms, such as childhood, adolescence, yuppie, senior citizen are social constructs.14
5005647353Difference-equals-deflect errorThe mistaken belief that a deviation from some norm is necessarily inferior to behavior or characteristics that meet the standard.15

5005647357Dynamic systemsA view of human development as an ongoing, ever-changing interaction between the physical, cognitive, and psychological influences. The crucial understanding is that development is never static but is always affected by, and effects, many systems of development.19
5005647358Differential sensitivityThe idea that some people are more phone Rible the others to certain experiences, usually because of genetic differences.20
5005647359Scientific observationA method of testing a hypothesis by unobtrusively watching and recording participants behavior and a systematic and objective manner in a natural setting or the laboratory; a search of archival data is another way to conduct scientific observation.21

A correlation indicates that only two variables are related, knots that one variable causes the other to occur.25
5005647364Urie Bronfenbrenner's five overlapping systems that provide the context for all human development1. Macrosystem: cultural patterns, political philosophies, economic policies, and social conditions 2. exosystem: external networks (Community structures, local education, medical, informant, communication systems) 3. mesosystem: interaction of systems 4. microsystem: intimately and immediately shape human development (Family, peer groups, classroom, neighborhood, house of worship) 5. chronosystem: dimension of time All of which develop percentage of sex, health, abilities, and temperament26
5005647365Five principles that characterize human development at any stage or age1. Multidirectional: Change occurs in every direction that always in a straight lines, gains and losses, predictable growth, and unexpected transformations are evident 2. Multidisciplinary: numerous academic fields, especially psychology, biology, education, and sociology, but also neuroscience, economics, but also anthropology, history, medicine, genetics, etc. 3. Multicontextual: human lives are embedded in many contexts, including historical conditions, economic constraints, and family patterns. 4. Multicultural: many cultures, not just between nations but also in them, affect how people develop. 5. Plasticity: every individual, and every trade with in each individual, can be altered at any point in the lifespan. Changes on going, although it is neither random easy.27

Freud theorized that sexual urges arise during three stages of childhood development; oral, anal, and phallic, and continue, after latency, in the genital stage.30
5006865119BehaviorismA grand theory of human development that studies observable behavior. But Haviar is him is also called learning theory because it describes the laws and processes by which behavior is learned.31
5006865120ConditioningAccording to behaviorism, the processes by which responses become linked to particular stimuli and learning takes place. The word conditioning is used to emphasize the importance of repeated practice, I was when an athlete conditions his or her body to perform well by training for a long time.32
5006865121Classical conditioningThe learning process in which a meaningful stimulus (such as the smell of food to a hungry animal is) connected to a neutral stimulus (such as sound of a tone) that have no special meeting before the conditioning. Also called respondent conditioning.33
5006865122Operant conditioningThe learning process by which a particular action is followed by something desired, which makes a person or animal more likely to repeat the action, or buy something unwanted, which makes the action less likely to be repeated. Also called instrumental conditioning.34
5006865123ReinforcementThe process by which a behavior is followed by something desired, such as food for hungry animal or a welcoming smile to a lonely person.35
