  1. 1what will a child with a secure attachment show in the strange situation?secure base for exploration
    child seeks caregiver when upset
    prefers caregiver to stranger
    don't always show separation anxiety
    seeks contact on reunion
    immediately comforted
  2. 2what would a child with avoidant attachment show in the strange situation?unresponsive when parent present
    not distressed on separation
    react to stranger similarly to caregiver
    avoidant on reunion
    doesn't seek out caregiver
    when picked up, they fail to cling
  3. 3what would a child with a resistant attachment show in the strange situation?doesn't explore
    clingy
    distressed when separated
    angry upon reunion
    combines clinginess with angry resistant behaviour
    cannot be comforted easily
    simultaneously seeks and avoids contact
  4. 4what would a child with disorganized/disorientated attachment show in the strange situation?greatest insecurity
    confused, contradictory behaviours on reunion
    dazed
    odd frozen postures
  5. 5Define Attachmentstrong affectionate tie between baby and special people in their lives that leads them to experience pleasure and joy when they interact with this, be comforted by their nearness in times of stress.
  6. 6what are the 4 stages of attachment?pre-attachment stage
    development of attachment
    'clear-cut' attachment
    reciprocal relationship
  7. 7What happans & when is the pre-attachment stage of attachment?0-6 weeks
    infant doesn't mind being held by strangers
    they recognise their mothers smell, voice & face
    use crying, gazing & smiling to help them get into close contact with other humans
    innate reflexes
  8. 8What happans/when is the 'development of attachment' stage of development?6 weeks - 6-8 months
    responds differently to different people
    laughs/smiles more with mother
    baby develops a sense of trust - the expectation that the caregiver will respond when signalled
  9. 9What happans/When is the 'clear cut' stage in the stages of attachment?6-8 months - 18/24 months
    infants show stranger anxiety & separation anxiety - toddlers also try hard to maintain primary care givers presence
    clear attachment to caregiver
    infant follows caregiver - secure base
  10. 10What happans/When is the 'reciprocal' relationship stage in the stages of attachment?18/24 months on-wards
    child reasons/negotiates with caregiver
    separation anxiety declines language & representation enable toddler to understand factors that influence the parents coming & going & predict her return
    object permanence develops
  11. 11What factors does the consistancy of attachment depend on?social-economic security
    life events
    consistent environment
  12. 12What age is attachment type relatively resilient?4-5 years
  13. 13How do Vygotsky & Piaget differ on the role of make-believe play?Vygostky : make believe play is another zone of proximal development supporting the development of new skills and abilities containing lots of private speech
    a central process for development
  14. 14How do Piaget and Vygostky differ on Private Speech?Piaget: language and thought are relatively unrelated, private speech does not serve any developmental purpose. declines as child becomes aware of others having different views/minds of their own
    Vygostky: language and thought are integral to each other, our thoughts are internalized speech and therefore private speech is self guidance. acts a precursor to thought.
  15. 15What is reciprocal learning?teacher and 2-4 students form a collaborative group and take turns leading dialogues on the content of a text.
  16. 16Which four cognitive strategies are applied during reciprocal learning?summarizing
    questioning
    clarifying
    predicting
  17. 17Define Co-operative Learningsmall groups of classmates work together toward common goals
  18. 18Define Scaffoldingcontext provided by the more knowledgeable person to help the child develop cognitive skills - fits current child's level of performance
  19. 19Define Guided Participationa more knowledgeable individual organises activities in ways that allows less knowledgeable people to learn without specifying the precise features of communication.
  20. 20Define Zone Of Proximal Developmenta range of tasks more difficult for the child alone but possible with the help of adults and more skilled peers
  21. 21Define Intersubjectivitytwo participants begin a task with different understandings arrive at a shared understanding, create common ground for communication as each partner adjusts to the others perspective and focuses on the same thing at the same time.
  22. 22What is correlational research?aims to describe the relationship between one aspect of children's development and another however a correlation does not equal a cause
    correlational research is expressed through a correlation coefficient
  23. 23What is experimental research?aims to show a casual relationship between one variable (IV) and another (DV)
  24. 24What is a longitudinal study?measures behaviour in the same subject at different ages
  25. 25Advantages of longitudinal studies?good to see cause or effect
    provides estimates of changes/stability of behaviour
    estimates impact of early experiences later on
  26. 26Disadvantgaes with longitudinal studies?sampling problems - less busy parents are usually the ones to complete the study
    can be biased though social-economic status
    practise effects
  27. 27Define Critical Periodthe limited time during which the child is biologically prepared to acquire certain adaptive behaviour
  28. 28What are systematic observations?exploring a specific behaviour of interest, relating it to other behaviours and these only explore specific behaviour
    eg strange situation
  29. 29What is a passive child?development is not driven by the child but mainly by the environment (external)
  30. 30What is an active child?internal psychological structures drive development; children actively explore the world and influence their own learning.
  31. 31What are the 5 periods of development and their time intervals?prenatal : conception - birth
    infancy and toddler hood : 0-2 years
    early childhood : 2-6 years
    middle childhood : 6-11 years
    Adolescence : 11-18 years
  32. 32Define Developmentchange in observable behaviour learned through experience with the environment
  33. 33What are the empirical reasons for studying children?period of rapid change
    long term influences of events
    understanding origins of development of complex adult processes
  34. 34What are the philosophical reasons for studying children?what does it mean to be human?
    how can we get something from nothing?
  35. 35What are the applied reasons for studying children?real world applications of child rearing
    targets for children's academic development
  36. 36Define normative developmentall children are supposed to take a normal development path in relation to averages of all children
  37. 37Define individual differences in terms of developmenteach child's sequence of development is unique, there is a theme but there are many individual differences
  38. 38What are naturalistic observations?reflecting everyday behaviours by observing children in everyday settings
  39. 39What are structured observations?structured environment designed to gain a certain behaviour, al participants are provided with the same opportunity to display a particular behaviour
  40. 40What are descriptive observations?parents describe the development of the child
  41. 41Define stabability in terms of Stabaility vs. Changeheredity &/or early experiences shape a child's characteristic and this remains with them
  42. 42Define Change is terms of the Stabability vs. Change debatedevelopment had substantial plasticity through life and is open to change in response to influential experiences
  43. 43Define Nature in relation to the nature vs. nurture debatedevelopment driven by the maturation of ones hereditary endorsement.
  44. 44Define Nurture in relation to the nature vs. nurture debatedevelopment driven by physical and social environments and experiences, before and after birth.
  45. 45What is the Preferential Looking Paradigm?asks children to look at a picture of something, you are able to know if they understand by looking at the correct picture
  46. 46What does infant eye tracking do?tracks where the infant looks while watching a video or looking at a picture
  47. 47What is infant EEG/ERP?tests electronic signals in the brain ie when they hear different songs
  48. 48What is the conditioned head turn procedure?Where you condition a child to turn their head at a certain stimuli.
  49. 49What are the ethical issues in terms of investigating children? & how are these combatted?disclosure: police checks by criminal justice board
    ethical approval: Ethics committees ensure that studies do not put participants welfare at risk
    Informed consent: must be obtained from parents/guardians
    Data Protection Act: participants details and test scores must be kept confidential, anonymous and secure
  50. 50What are cross-sequential studies?combine longitudinal & cross-sectional designs
  51. 51What are microgenetic studies?Examine mastery of a task over a series of sessions over a short period of time in a longitudinal design.
  52. 52What are case studies?examines one or more behaviours in a single subject at some depth
  53. 53What are cross-culteral studies?examines behaviour under different cultural conditions
  54. 54What are the issues with cross-sequential studiescohort effects
    cannot reveal development at individual level only at group level
  55. 55What are cohort effects?different age group have different life experiences that may have a profound impact on their behaviour eg changing teaching methods.
  56. 56Define developmental psychologyunderstanding the changes in mind & behaviour that humans experience throughout the lifespan
  57. 57Define child developmentunderstanding human development from conception to adolescence
  58. 58What happans in the 'infancy and toddler hood' stage in periods of development?dramatic motor, cognitive and language development
  59. 59What happans in the 'early childhood' stage in periods of development?imagination, friendship, self-sufficiency
  60. 60What happans in the 'middle childhood' stage in periods of development?basic skills, general knowledge, responsibilty
  61. 61What happans in the 'adolescence' stage in periods of development?sexual development, abstract/idealistic thought, pursuit of autonomy and independence
  62. 62What is event sampling?observer records all instances of a particular behaviour during a specified time
  63. 63What is time sampling?researcher records whether certain behaviours occur during a sample of short intervals
  64. 64What is observer influence?effects if an observer on the behaviour studied
  65. 65What is observer bias?observers are aware of the purposes of the study they may record what they expect to see rather than what participants actually do
  66. 66Biringen (2000)emotional availability of caregiver is the most important element of secure attachment
  67. 67Van Den Boom100 Dutch low SES mothers
    greater parental responsiveness lead to
    higher academic achievement
    better social skills
    more compliant children
  68. 68Domitovich & Biermanchildren who have had emotionally warm caregivers how better social adaption
  69. 69Steelman et alchildren who have emotionally warm caregivers show better social skills
  70. 70Simons, Robertson & DormsChildren with emotionally warm caregivers show better behaviour at school
  71. 71Radin (1971)children have higher academic attainment if they had emotionally warm caregivers
  72. 72Goldstein, Davis-Kean & EcclesChildren who have emotionally warm caregivers show lower levels of aggression and delinquency in adolescence
  73. 73Pettit, Bates and Dodgeemotionally warm caregivers are a protective factor against environmental factors ie poverty
  74. 74Barnes & Olsonopenness of communication is important in adolescence
  75. 75Diamond (2002)"the most important things are that children feel they are loved and that they are listened to"
  76. 76Kurdeck & Fire (1994)Consistency of rules have a significant effect on behaviour
  77. 77Prinzie et alharsh negative discipline correlates with behaviour problems and externalising behaviours in childhood
  78. 78Ginsberg & Bronsteinchildren of parents who reward/punish for good/poor grades have poorer overall grades than those who are not encouraged
  79. 79Schwartz"reinforcement has two effects. first.. predictably it gains control of an activity, increasing its frequency. Second.. when reinforcement is later withdrawn, people engage in the activity even less than they did before reinforcement was introduced"
  80. 80What are the 3 aspects of parenting & what do they mean?Acceptance: parents accept the child and don't put them down or discourage them
    Involvement: the degree to which the parent is involved in the child's life
    Autonomy granting: granting the child autonomy/independence appropriate to their age
  81. 81What are the 4 parenting styles?Authoritative, Authoritarian, Permissive, Uninvolved
  82. 82What do german infants show in terms of attachment?considerably more avoidant attachment than American babies do, German parents value independence & encourage their infants to be less clingy
  83. 83What do Japanese infants show in strange situation?rarely show avoidant attachment
    because Japanese mothers spend much time in close physical contact with their babies so the strange situation induces great stress on these infants
  84. 84What are the 4 important influences on attachment security?early availability of a consistent caregiver
    quality of care giving
    baby's characteristics
    family context
  85. 85What is sensitive caregiving?responding promptly, consistently & appropriately to infants & hold them tenderly & carefully
  86. 86What is interactional syndromy?separates the experiences of secure from insecure babies, it is best described as a sensitivity tuned "emotional dance" in which the caregiver responds to infant signals in a well-timed, rhythmic appropriate fashion
  87. 87What does contructivist mean in Piagets theory?how the organism reacts to its environment to gain knowledge
  88. 88What is Domain-general, in relation to Piaget?applies to all domains/subsets eg in language letters and numbers are different domains
  89. 89What is a 'grand stage theory'?stage theory, grand = everything you do is because you are in this stage
  90. 90What is a schema?structured organisation of experience, framework of what to so in a situation
  91. 91What is accomodation? in terms of Piagets theoryalter your schema to fit your/the environment
  92. 92What is assimilation? in relation to Piagets theoryapply your schema to the newly encountered bit of the environment
  93. 93What are the 4 stages of development according to Piaget?sensorimotor stage
    pre-operational stage
    concrete operations
    formal operations
  94. 94What learning happens in the sensorimotor stage?learning through action
  95. 95What learning happens in the preoperational stage?learning through perception
  96. 96What learning happens in the concrete operations stage?mental operations based on stable knowledge
  97. 97What learning happens in the formal operations stage of Piagets theory?abstract, hypothetical -deductive
  98. 98What is a stage? in relation to Piagets theoryQualitative differences in thinking
    invariant order of emergence - always go in the same order
    concurrence across the stages in different domains ie development is domain general
    universal - they are assumed to characterise children everywhere
  99. 99What is the sensorimotor stage?0-24 months
    thinking & reasoning are governed by interaction with the world
    progressive growth & refinement of knowledgeable structures, increasingly refined and more detailed overtime
  100. 100How did Piaget believe toddlers think?think with their hands, eyes, ears & other sensory equipment
    they cannot yet carry out many mental activities
  101. 101What is the circular reaction?involves stumbling onto a new experience caused by the baby's own motor activity
    the reaction is circular because as the infant tries to repeat the event again & again strengthening the schema
  102. 102What are the 6 sensorimotor substages?reflective schemes
    primary circular reactions
    secondary circular reactions
    co-ordination of secondary circular reactions
    tertiary circular reactions
    mental representations
  103. 103What happens in the reflecive schemes substage of sensorimotor substage?birth - 1 month
    newborn reflexes
  104. 104What happens in the primary circular reactions substage of the sensorimotor stage?1-4 months
    simple motor habits centred around the infants own body; limited anticipation of events
  105. 105What happens in the secondary circular reactions stage of the sensorimotor stage?4-8 months
    actions aimed at repeating interesting effects in the surrounding; imitation of familiar worlds
  106. 106What happens in the co-ordination of secondary circular reactions substage in the sensorimotor stage?8-12 months
    goal directed behaviour, object permanence, improved anticipation of events, imitation of behaviour
  107. 107What is object permanence?ability to find a hidden object in the first location in which it is hidden
  108. 108What happens in the tertiary circular reactions substage of the sensorimotor stage?12-18 months
    explorations of the properties of objects by acting on them in novel ways
    imitation of novel behaviours
    accurate A-B search
  109. 109What is an accurate A-B search?ability to search in several locations for a hidden object
  110. 110What happens in the mental representations sub stage of the sensorimotor stage?18 months - 2 years
    internal depictions of objects and events as indicated by sudden solutions to problems
    invisible displacement
    make-believe play
  111. 111What is invisible displacement?ability to find an object that has been moved while out of sight
  112. 112How does the A-B error work?when you hide an object at location A, allow the child to search for it & find it at A.
    hide object at second location B, allow search & infant searches for object at original location
    it is as if the act of reaching for it, makes it reappear, that's why they go back to the same place
  113. 113How does Piaget explain the A-B error?infants have incomplete understanding of permanence of the object
    the action-object relationship is bound to a particular location & reaching makes it reappear
  114. 114How did Kellman & Spelke challenge Piagets theory?suggested children are born with object permanence
  115. 115How did Hood & Willatts challenge Piagets theory?children reach for objects in the dark - challenging object permanence
  116. 116What did Baillargeon find that challenges Piagets theory?children were more surprised by an impossible event therefore suggesting object permanence
  117. 117However, What are the criticisms of Baillargeon?not everyone can get her results
    the effect may be perceptual, not conceptual ie the surprise within infants may be caused by perceptual processes rather than a high level of understanding of objects
  118. 118What are other challenges to Piagets theory?- infants imitate facial expressions, at ages they wouldn't be able to according to Piaget
  119. 119So what is wrong with Piaget's conception of the infant?Piaget underestimated the initial knowledge state of the infant
    too much emphasis on motor abilities
    Piaget may not have got it right about mental representations, creating a problem where no problem exists
  120. 120When is the preoperational period?2-7 years
  121. 121What happens in the preoperational stage in Piagets theory?children hold more than one mutually incompatible belief
    pre-logical (not being logical)
    infant is usually a solipsist & then moves into being an egocentrist
    thinking and reasoning are to some extent successful & are performed by manipulation of symbols
    equilibration takes place
  122. 122What is a solipsist?inability to distinguish yourself from the universe
  123. 123What is an egocentrist?paying too much attention to their perspective rather than others perspective
  124. 124What is equlibiration?the back & forth movement between equilibrium & disequilibrium that produces more effective schemes
  125. 125Whats the difference between preoperational and concrete operationsoperations are reversible mental transformations
    operations are not subject to interference from perception
    preoperational children have not attained to ability to perform these reversible transformations
  126. 126What is reversibility?the ability to go through a series of steps in a problem & then mentally reverse directions, returning to the start point
  127. 127What is the significance of errors in the preoperational period?errors are important to our understanding of the preoperational child, they reveal the sense in which the child is not capable of concrete operations
  128. 128What is an exam of class inclusion?group of wooden beads, some light and some dark coloured, preoperational child will say there are more light beads than wooden beads
  129. 129how does the 'focus on states, not transformations' apply to preoperational children?these children tend to focus on two end results rather than the transformation between these two results
  130. 130How does the 3 mountain problem relate to egocentrism?children asked what the doll can see who is looking at the three mountains from a different angle,
    preoperational children usually pick the picture that they can see themselves
  131. 131What is the conservation experiment in preoperational children?two glasses of equal amounts of water, then one glass is poured into a tall thin glass keeping same amount of water
    preoperational children would say the taller glass has more water in
    concrete operational children will say they were both the same
  132. 132What is the theory behind conservation in preoperational children?these children fail to distinguish between relevant & irrelevant transformations
    children appear to lack knowledge of invariance
  133. 133What is a lack of invarience?lack the knowledge that some things don't change under certain conditions
  134. 134What is the rod lengths experiment and what does it demonstrate?used colour rods to show A is longer than B, B is longer than C, asked which is longer A or C?
    preoperational children perform badly in this task
    this shows transitive inferences
  135. 135What are the challenges to Piagets account?memory - many of Piagets experiments rely on the child's memory so therefore this could affect results
    misunderstanding could play a part
    language difficulty could be the difference
    subtle changes affect performance
  136. 136What is the problem with memory on Piagets theory?children just couldn't recall all the knowledge they needed at the time, you could train children so they don't forget the information they need
  137. 137What is the misunderstanding accounts challenge to Piagets theory?context matters, you need to show the child why they are being asked again
  138. 138How did Rose & Blank challenge Piagets theory?argued that asking the same question twice is not usual pragmatics & the child may ask 'was i wrong first time?'
    the incorrect response is primed by interaction of perceptual context & linguistic input
  139. 139What did McGarrigle & Donaldson's Naughty Teddy study do & show?contrasted 'accidental' with 'intentional' transformations
    intentional - 34% correct
    accidental - 72% correct
    distraction is caused by teddy?
  140. 140What did Moore & Frye find challenging Piaget?found that irrelevant transformation caused a higher percentage of correct answers on the understanding of conservation compared to the experiments intention therefore teddys experiment is much better when accidental
  141. 141How did Donaldson challenge Piaget?questioned Piaget through whether his experiments where due to a failing of reason or a failing of understanding the task
  142. 142What did McGarrie suggest as an alternative to Piagets experiments?an alternative with sleeping cows and teddy steps which would be logical equivalent to the beads class inclusion
    these are not subject to the distraction criticism
  143. 143What is the controversial 'distraction story'?Piaget says conservation failure is a breakdown in logic
    however Davidson says conservation failure is really a pragmatic failure
    Moore & Frye says Teddy made performance worse for a relevant transformation
    Donaldson then suggested that distraction story does not explain other findings
  144. 144What did Siegler find?there were 3 conditions
    feedback only
    explain their reasoning and given feedback
    feedback then asked 'how do you think/know that?'
    found that people who explained reasoning got a much higher percentage right whereas the control and explaining reasoning alone were very simular
  145. 145Whats wrong with Piagets conservation task?nothing necessarily - do it Piagets way, you get Piagets results
    however interpretations are important there are usually several theoretical possibilities underlying any given observation
  146. 146What is cognition in terms of developmental psychology?the inner processes & products of the mind that lead to "knowing", it includes all mental activity - attending, remembering, symbolizing, categorizing, planning, reasoning, problem solving, creating & fantasizing
  147. 147What are schemas?specific psychological structures - organised ways of making sense of experience - change with age
  148. 148What are mental representations?internal depictions of information that the mind can manipulate - this makes the transition from the sensorimotor approach to a cognitive approach
    our most powerful mental representations are images
  149. 149What does adaption consist of?building schemas through direct interaction with the environment
    consists of assimilation & accommodation
  150. 150What is assimilation in adaptation?we use our current schemas to interpret the external world
  151. 151What is accommodation in adaption?we create new schemas or adjust old ones after noticing that out current way of thinking does not capture the environment completely
  152. 152What is the cognitive equilibrium?when children are not changing much, they assimilate more than they accommodate
    during rapid times of change, they accommodate more and so are in a state of disequilibrium
  153. 153What happens everytime equilibration occurs and what is it?back and forth movement between equilibrium & disequilibrium is equilibration
    more effective schemas are produced
  154. 154How do schemas change through organisation?a process that occurs internally, apart from direct contact with the environment.
    once children form new schemas, they rearrange them, linking them to other schemas to create a strongly interconnected cognitive system
  155. 155When do schemas truely reach equilibrium?when they become part of a broad network of structures that can be jointly applied to the surrounding world
  156. 156What are intentional or goal directed behaviours?coordinating schemes deliberately to solve simple problems
  157. 157What is object permanence?the understanding that objects continue to exist when they are out of sight
  158. 158When does mental representation occur?occurs in substage 6 - 18-24 months
  159. 159how is mental representation shown?arrive at solutions to problems suddenly rather than through trial & error, apparently experimenting with actions inside their head allowing infants to solve objects permanence problems involving invisible displacement
  160. 160What is deferred imitation?the ability to remember & copy the behaviour of models who are not present, making make-believe play possible where the child acts out everyday & imaginary activities
  161. 161What is the violation of expectation model?used to find out if babies can find hidden objects - show babies unexpected and expected event
    heightened attention to the unexpected event suggests the infant is surprised by the deviation from physical activity and therefore is aware of the physical world
  162. 162What are the limitations of violation of expectation model?researchers believe it shows limited non-conscious awareness of physical events
  163. 163What is parallel play?alongside each other but not together
  164. 164What is associative play?children will comment on others play/toys
  165. 165What is co-operative play?cooperating with one another - playing together - with the other person
  166. 166What are the 7 functions of friendship according to Asher & Parker?1.fostering development of social competence
    2.source of ego support
    3.providing emotional security in novel/threatening situations
    4. source of intimacy and affection
    5.providing guidance & assistance
    6. providing source of reliable alliance - someone to stick up for you
    7. providing companionship & stimulation
  167. 167How are girl friendships characterised?relationships typically more emotional
    self disclosure more common
    show higher levels of relational aggression
    close friendships and negative effects eg corumination
  168. 168How are boys friendships characterised?gather more often for activities
    discuss achievements or conflicts
    show higher levels of physical aggression & rough&tumble play
    quality of friendships related to gender identity
  169. 169What is peer acceptance?the extent to which children are liked & accepted by their peers
  170. 170what must be remembered when considering adoption?it is a multifaceted issue
    includes attachment, comparative cultural issues & individual identity
  171. 171Define adoption?a legal procedure in the UK which transfers all parental responsibility from the birth parents to new parents
    there can still be social ties with family but all legal ties are lost
  172. 172how does psychology describe adoption?not being reared by your biological parents
    so can include fostering & other arrangements
  173. 173What is the historical background to adoption?informal procedure in many cultures & in UK up to 100 years ago
    adoption is now done through the care system
  174. 174What are the potential background issues to adoption?foetal alcohol syndrome
    drug withdrawal
    unmet needs ie nutrition
    attachment
    inappropriate experience
    learning disability
    psychopathology
  175. 175What are the potential reasons for someone to adopt?sub-fertility (can't conceive)
    sexuality
    altruism
    genetic disorder
  176. 176What do on average children in adopted families have?lower cognitive functioning
    higher incidence of emotional problems
  177. 177What did Van Ijzendoorn, Juffer & Poelhuis find in their meta-analysis of 18,000 children?pre-adoptive factors were most risky ie transition risk
    post-adoptive factors were mostly protective
    lags in adoptive childrens school performance but they caught up in IQ
  178. 178What did Rutter find in Romanian Orphanages?adopted soon after birth to 3 1/2 years
    they showed cognitive deficits, inattention/hyperactivity, social problems, low head circumference = low brain development
