chromosomal anomalies

Ex. down syndrome

long threadlike molecules made up of DNA

Genes / Alleles

segments of DNA that code for particular protein

different versions of the same gene

genotype

your genetic makeup

phenotype

you observable characteristics

randome assortment

the random mixing of the 23 genes from parents

Pleiotropic effects

any single gene can have many very different effects

polygenic inheritance

many genes interact together to produce a particular trait or behavior

single gene influence

the alleles for a particular gene may be dominate or recessive

homozygous

inherits 2 of the same alleles for a trait

heterozygous

inherits 2 different alleles for a trait

single dominant gene

affected individuals have an affected parent

Huntington's

norm of reaction

all phenotypes that could result from a genotype.... in relation to all possible enviroments

canalization

degree to which the expression of a gene is influenced by the enviroment

epigenetics

system by which genes are activated or silenced in response to events or circumstances in the environment

PKU

environmental impacts on diseases phenotype expression:

defective gene on chomozone 12.

could cause a retard

MAOA

severe maltreatment = increased antisocial behavior in males

Behavior Genetics

Examines how variation in behavior and development results from the combination of genetic and environmental influences.

Heritability (h2)

Genetic effect size - the proportion of phenotypic variance attributable to genetic factors

shared environmental variance (c2)

Environmental experience shared by family members growing up in the same household

Non-shared environmental variance (e2)

environmental influences unique to each individuals

cohert effect

the idea that different generations experience different things

micro-genetic research design

study groups of different ages over all time but all very close and normally on the verge of a important developmental change

psychoanalytical theories of development

stage theorists- quantitative

early experience shape development

Freud

stage theorists

behavior is motivated by the need to satisfy

oral - anal -... genital

id, ego, super ego

Erikson

stage theorists

8 stages at birth

behaviorist perspective

watson - classical conditioning

Skinner - operant learning

Watson

classical conditioning, Tubula rasa, learing by making connections between ucs ucr cs cr

Skinner

operant learning, + - reinforcment, punishment

social cognitive theory

Bandura:

Learning through imitating

Piagets theory of cognitive development

Schemes, Assimilation, accommodation,

Stages of cognitive development- Sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operations, formal operations

Contactual theories of development

Vygotsk's social cultural theory

Brofenbrenners ecological system theory

vygotsky's

all learning occurs in a social context, ZPD, scaffolding

Brofenbrenners

biological theory - changing individuals in changing environment

Microsystem, Mesosystem, Exosystem, Macosystem, chronosystem
