Life Span Development Class 7 Part 1 Exam3

Front 1

The first stage of Piaget's development theory is the ? motor development stage from 0-2 yrs of age.

Back 1

sensory

Front 2

Piaget's sensory motor development stage is defined by 3 major characteristics:
1. Infants are experiencing the world through their ? movements and ?
2. Infants have ? amnesia, they don't have concrete memory for the first two years of life.
3. Infants eventually develop object ? Early on infants don't have this, so they don't realize that objects still exist even when out of site.

motor, sensation,
infantile,
permanance

Front 3

The pre-operational development stage runs from about ?-? yrs of age. Pre-operational thought includes the idea that kids cannot ? backwards, and that splitting their ? cannot be done, they have "centered ?"

Back 3

2-7,
think,
attention,
thought

Front 4

The pre-operational period also includes ? tasks, where children don't understand things like volume, and that the value of money stays the same even though you may change the shape.

Back 4

conservation

Front 5

Things that kids can do in the pre-operational period is they can represent ? and ?'s mentally with words and images, so they can engage in ? play.

Back 5

objects,
events,
imaginary

Front 6

Criticisms of Piaget include that he did not study developmental stages of ? thought, that he did not extend his studies further, and secondly that some of the children today develop these skills ? than he implied, but the stages still unfold in the same ?

Back 6

formal operational,
earlier,
order

Front 7

The stage where kids have the ability to think hypothetically, take educated guesses, can think abstractly, and understand what is possible vs. impossible which plays into identity develpment is ?

Back 7

formal operational thought

Front 8

? reasoning is like being a detective going from general info to specific info.

Back 8

deductive

Front 9

? reasoning is like being a detective and starting with something specific and going on to more general info.

Back 9

inductive

Front 10

Two things have to happen in order to be able to develop post formal thought we must have ? maturation and you have to have more ? opportunities

Back 10

brain,
environmental

Front 11

The brain undergoes two major developmental spurts, one in the ? and second from ?-? yrs, when the organ matures by fits and starts in a sequence that moves from the ? of the brain to the ?

Front 12

The ? is the bundle of nerve fibers that connects the two halves of the brain together and is involved in ? solving and ? During adolescence, the nerve fibers thicken and process ? more and more efficiently.

Back 12

corpus callosum,
problem, creativity,
information

Front 13

The part of the brain known as the CEO is the ? This area is also known as the area of ?-? thought it is the last part of the brain to ? which may be why teens get into so much trouble.

Back 13

prefrontal cortex,
sober-second,
mature

Front 14

The part of the brain that is located just behind the forehead and grows during the pre-teen years and then shrinks as neural connections are pruned during adolescence is the ?

Back 14

prefrontal cortex

Front 15

The ? is the part of the brain dealing with higher function, decision making, problem solving, reasoning skills.

Back 15

prefrontal cortex

Front 16

The ? is larger in females than in males, this part of the brain acts like a secretary to the prefrontal cortex by helping it prioritize information.

Back 16

Basal Ganglia

Front 17

The ? and prefrontal cortex are tightly connnected and at nearly the same time, they grow ? connections and then prune them.

Back 17

basal ganglia,
neuron

Front 18

This area of the brain is also active in small and large motor movements, so it may be important to expose preteens to music and sports while it is growing, name it ?

Back 18

basal ganglia

Front 19

The ? is the emotional center of the brain, home to such primal feelings as ? and ?

Back 19

Amygdala,
fear,
rage

Front 20

In processing emotional information, teens tend to rely more heavily on the ? and adults depend more on the rational ?

Back 20

amygdala,
prefrontal cortex

Front 21

A part of the brain that is underdeveloped in teens and this underdevelopment may explain why adolescents often react more impulsively than adults is the ?

Back 21

Amygdala

Front 22

The ? is thought to play a role in physical coordination.

Back 22

cerebellum

Front 23

The ? is more sensitive to the environment than to heredity.

Back 23

cerebellum

Front 24

The part of the brain that supports activities of higher learining like mathematics, music and advanced social skills is the ?

Back 24

Cerebellum

Front 25

The part of the brain that changes dramatically during adolescence, increasing the number of neurons and the complexity of their connections and continues to grow well into the early 20's is the ?
