1. What is behavioral science?

What is considered?

What is behavioral science primarily concerned with?
Interdisciplinary study of how human behavior affects health science

Biological, pyschological, interpersonal, and social forces

Secondary and tertiary prevention
2. What is the biomedical model?
1. Focuses on the biological aspects of disease

2. Psychological and social variables are of lesser importance
3. What is the biopsychosocial model?
Behavioral and social processes influence the development, course, and outcome of biological illness
4. What does the biological model miss?

Three things...
1. Variation in how people experience and cope with disease

2. Doesn't account for behavioral aspects of epidemology

3. Does not address patient motivation, treatment compliance, and significance of doctor-patient relationship
5. Why should we adopt a biopsychological perspective?

Three reasons...
1. Most illnesses are influenced and determined by biological, psychological, and social variables

2. These variables shape how patients experience, respond to, and cope with illness

3. Understanding the interface of these variables leads to more effective treatment plans, better patient compliance, and better treatment outcomes
6. What is development?

What do developmental theories identify?
Sequence of age-related changes (physical, cognitive, and personality) that occur as one progresses from conception to death

Identify the maximum expectable capabilities at each stage
7. What does a patient's stage of development affect?

What do developmental stages provide then?
Influence what motivates him/her

Proved a framework for normal age-appropriate patient behavior
8. Who is Jean Piaget?

What did he discover?

Three things...
Swiss biologist who studied children's IQ's

1. Children of same age tended to give same incorrect answers

2. Children of same age think alike

3. Older children use different reasoning processes as they attempt to make sense of the world
9. What did Piaget believe about cognitive development as a result of this?

Two things...
1. The mind builds mental structures that permit it to progressively adapt to the environment

2. Experiences are organized in terms of existing structures
-these structures are modified to account for new information
10. What are the two complimentary processes in Piaget cognitive development?
1. Assimilation
-child incorporates and interprets new information in terms of his/her existing schemas

i.e. zebra = horse

2. Accomodation
-child modifies schemas to take in new information

i.e. zebra = horse with strips
11. When is the sensorimotor stage?

What does is learned in this stage?

What is the big development in the sensorimotor stage?
