Development psychology |
The study of human behaviour as a function of age. “How” and “why” we change. - physical, cognitive, psychological |
|
|
Physical development |
Body changes, motor skills, puberty, physical signs of agin |
|
|
Cognitive development |
Perception, language, learning, memory, problem solving |
|
|
Psychosocial development |
Personality, emotions, gender identity, moral behaviour, interpersonal skills, roles |
|
|
Change |
systematic changes are orderly, patterned, and relatively enduring (e.g. crawling to walking, physical maturation at puberty) - developmental milestones |

|
Continuities |
refer to ways in which we remain the same or consistent over time (e.g. attachment from infancy to adulthood, temperament/personality) |

|
Early experience It starts in the womb |
Egg & sperm - genes from mother and father combine (zygote) Blastocyst - cluster of cells start to divide and multiply (days 5-9) Embryo - early stage: formation of body structures, tissues, organs (to 8 weeks) Foetus - the unborn offspring: has major body organs, though not fully developed |

|
Sensitive periods |
Term comes from the study of embryology A stage in development when an organism can most rapidly acquire a particular skill or characteristic Teratogens - any agent that can cause a birth defect and disrupt development (e.g. radiation, chemicals, nicotine, alcohol, recreational drugs) Timing of exposure is important in terms of impact Examples: Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder - facial anomalies, developmental deficits Rubella virus - hearing loss Period of greatest susceptibility - embryonic period (up to 8 weeks) |

Language development |
No exposure/deprivation of language then no development |
