2.brain architecture constructed w ongoing process.quality=sturdy/fragile capability/behavior foundation
3.brains built hierarchical from bottom up.simple circuit skills are built on
4.GXE interaction shape brain circuitry.return process is fundamental to brain wiring.kids interact w adults who are (un)responsive
5.cognitive, emotional&social capacity intertwined. learning behavior&physical/mental health interrelated over life course

differ in extent they apply cogntive concept&procedures to understanding of behaviour.


*CBM:cognitions, behaviour&mood interact in event/schema



behavioral influence methods

*focus


*when kid is best understood/described


*what they reject

focus on observable behavior:pragmatic parsimonious explanation for particular problem behavior.

*societal importance (6)

child:less impaired symptoms.more social competence&academics
family:less dysfunction,stress&care burden.more support,marital/sibling relation&life quality

8 Principles of Psychological Assessment (Cates, 1999)

H

1.Art rests on science. 2.Info is power

*assessment is snapshot not film(3),appropriate if tailored to clients needs&referral source(4),


5.interpretation beyond past description


6.integration not data accumulation


*psychologist is:


7.responsible to client,not computer


8.projected in report wout apology



1.Art rests

2.Info is


*Assessment is (4 things)


*psychologist is (2 things)



psychological tests

*how its normed/standardized


*relationship w assessment?


*what does purpose depend on

*normed on narrow limited sample¬ be appropriate to use w ppl outside norm.

*Standardized conditions that consistent for all test–takers


*Testing ≠Assessment.



*Purposes depend on referral question.



Clinical Interviews:

*popularity


*2 things it does


*what they want from kid

*most universally used assessment procedure.

1.gets basic info from ppl close to kid.


2.set stage for collaboration/cooperation w family:done separate w kid&parent/family interview for good working relationship.


*want kids opinion,info on their self/others perception&how they respond to others in social situation

Clinical Interviews:

*unstructured


*structured


>description&cons

unstructure:informal/flexible:pick format&knowledge to get picture w minimal guidance.clinical hyp. source.bias&unreliable.


semistructured:specific questions elicit info consistently regardless of interviewer(computer for old,puppet for young). ensure important disorder aspects are covered.rigid interview/no spontaneity may lose coverage.



Potential interview problems

1.halo effect


2.confirmatory bias


3.fundamental attribution error


*professional jargon


H

1.Halo effect:assume other characteristics are similar to ones they convey.

2.Confirmatory b:interpret evidence to favor your belief


3.fundamental attribution bias:explain behavior by internal trait not situation determents

brain development at 2yo example
sleep=primary brain function of young child.
2yo's brain reaches 90% of adult size&kid attains complexity in cognitive skill, language, concept of self, socioemotional development &physical skills


Why babies sleep more
babies sleep more b/c needs are met by caregiver.adults favour arousal, which is adaptive&necessary

*1940s


*3 old beliefs on its cause

1920s:strict toileting schedule to finish training by 8 months. if kid wasnt trained, stick soap up rectum.



1940s:focused on natural toileting b/w 12–30 months




old cause:aggressive/early toileting,family disturbance/stress&child psychopathology



elimination disorder 3 early treatments:18th century

nocturnal:in REM:kid dreams about peeing.mainly boys.


diurnal:mainly girls.uncommon after 9.


nocturnal&diurnal



enuresis causes

*4 causes (1 specific to diurnal)

1.antidiuretic hormone (ADH):concentrates urine for sleep.urine still made w deficiency.

2.no brain development to signal wake up
3.inherit primary:77% if both parents, 44% if 1. 15% w none

eating pathology:
continuum that ranges from dieting to clinical syndromes across all development periods
disturbed eating attitude

H



belief that cultural standard for attractiveness, body image&social acceptance are tied to ones ability to control diet&weight gain.
belief that:3 things
biological regulators:growth:

*what is it


*what works together for healthy balance


>3 circulating hormones:


*what is their significance


*what they interact w


*what are their names

*well orchestrated system of feedback loops *messenger signals&major organs work together for healthy balance.

circulating hormones:interact w available nutritional resources for change in skeletal system


*most sig. growth rate determinant in childhood


1.growth hormone


2.thyroid hormone


3.additional gonadal steroids in adolescence.

Growth hormone:GH


*hypothalamus role


*what 2 growth controlling hormones are released&what do they do?



*hypothalamus:sense need to release more/less GH in body via pituitary gland.


*release 2 growth controlling hormones:


1.GH inhibiting factor:somatostatin inhibits gh response to internal signal of hunger.



2.GH releasing factor:tell body when,where& how to grow by releasing gh&higher brain structures that affect it.

*what may explain why sleep&eat disorders co-exist in kids?


*what may explain why emotional&eat disorders co-exist in kids?

emotion&eat disorders:limbic cortex&amygdala

causes of obesity:leptin deficiency


*what is it:what it regulates (2)


*how obese kids respond


*what decreases it


*how it may explain dieting failure

hormone carries instructions to brain to regulate energy&appetite.

causes of obesity:

1.Low SES


2. Culture Disparity w latinos


3.genetic predisposition/pedigree
