Lifespan Development

Front 1

Polygenic traits

Back 1

hight, weight, intelligence, and personality - effected by multiple genes

Front 2

Genotype

Back 2

person's genetic inheritance

Front 3

Phenotype

Back 3

observed characteristics, attributed to a combination of heredity and environment.
What is actually observed

Front 4

Critical Period

Back 4

specific, predetermined period of time during biological maturaion when an organism is particularly snesitive to certain stiumuli tht can have either a postive or negative impact on development. Lorenze with imprinting ...Humans it's attachment and language

Front 5

Sensitive Period (critical period)

Back 5

for humans - but they are longer and more flexible than critical periods and are not tied closely to chronological age or maturational stage.

Front 6

Three stages of Prenatal Development

Back 6

1) Zygote
2) Embryonic stage - third week through the eight week
3) fetal stage beigins at onset of ninth week continues until birth

Front 7

Birth Defects

Back 7

inclued chromosomal disorders, exposure to teratogens, poor maternal health, an compilcations during the birth process

Front 8

Chromosomal Disorders

Back 8

female xx male xy. when disorder is caried on an autosome - when on 23rd (sex) called sex-linked.

Front 9

Dominant vs Recessive Genes disorders
Phenylketonuria (PKU)

Back 9

Domiant - due to inhearitance of single from one parent - Huntington's disease.
Recessive - due to pair of recessive from each parent.
PKU -- lack an enzyme needed to matabolize pheno...found in milk, egs, bread

Front 10

Disorders Due to a Chromosomal Abnormality
2 types

Back 10

1 - variation in the number o fchromosomes and 2) an alteration in the structure of chromosomes

Front 11

Variation in Chromosomal Number

Back 11

Down Syndrome - autosomal disorder etra chromosome 21. Klinefelter and Turners syndrome are both casued by an abnormality in number of sex chromoslne

Front 12

Alterations in Chromosome Structure
deleteions, traslocations, and inversions

Back 12

deletions, transolocations, and inversions. Deletions occur when a part of a chromosome is missing. Prader-Willie - missing chromosome - obse, obsessive-compulsive, mental retardation.
Translocation is the transfer of a chromosome segment to another chromosome.
Inversion - chromosome breaks into two places.

Front 13

Teratogens

Back 13

subsrances that cross the placental barrier and cause defects in the embryo

Front 14

Teratogen effects of Alcohol

Back 14

fetal alcohol syndrome - risk high when drinking is heavy everyday during pregnancy or engages in binge drinking early in early stages.
Facial abnormalities, visual and hearing impairments, mental retardation, learning disablities, and behaviorl problems (impulsivity, social withdrawel). FAS vs FAE - syndrom vs. effects. with effects are less likely to have facial abnormalities and mental retardation.
Fetal alchl spectrum disorder is not often used to desccribe that range.

Front 15

Teragogen effects of Cocaine

Back 15

increased risk of spontaneous abortion and stillbirth. high risk of SIDS, seizures, a low birthweight, and reduced head circumference. irritable and difficult to comfort. cognitive and behavior problems may persist at least into the early school years.

Front 16

Teraogen effects of Nicotine

Back 16

low birthwieght, SIDS, and respiratory diseases, and may have emotional and social disturbances and cognive deficits

Front 17

Teragon effects of Lead

Back 17

mental retardation

Front 18

Mother stress during prenancy

Back 18

miscarriage, painful labor, premature delivery. low birthwieght hyperactive and irritalbe, and to exhibit irregular feeidng.

Front 19

Rutter's Indicators

Back 19

more risk factors more likely psychiatic issues. six family risk factors: severe marital discord, low socioeconomic status, overcrowding or large family size, parental criminality, materal pscyhopathology, and placement of the child ouside the home.

Front 20

Chronic Illness in children

Back 20

higher risk for internaizing and externalizing symptoms, although most do not actually meet the criteria for a formal DSM diangois. Evidence that children with cancer and other life-theratening illnesses have a better psychologicla outcome when they are given accurate and developmentally-appropriate informaiton about their illness in its early stages

Front 21

Adolescent drug use

Back 21

marijuana, alcohol, cigarettes mose commonly used
21% 12-17 drank at least one alcoholic beverage, 18% smoked cig, 8% used marijuana or hashish

Front 22

Aging and physical changes

Back 22

vision 0 visual changes after 65
Hearing - after 75
strength, coordination, and reaction time -
