Development
what is development?
the pattern of change beginning from conception
Medieval period (15-16th century) theories?
Children are mini-adults and make whatever they needed.
What is the ELECT document?
Early Learning For Every Child Today
what is a neuron?
a pathway for learning and development, by communicating info to the brain.
how many neurons do children lose a day, due to synaptic pruning, during childhood to adolescence?
20 Billion per day
What are the domains of development?
Social, emotional, cognitive, Physical, and language
20-21st century theories?
Children worth special attention, laws passed to protect children and nature vs. nurture
6 principles of the ELECT document
1.) set the foundation for lifelong learning, behavior, and health. 2.) partnerships with families. 3.) respect for diversity, equality, and inclusion. 4.) curriculum based on ages and stages. 5.) play is learning through curiosity and excitement. 6.) prepared and responsive educators for high-quality childcare.
what are the 3 major parts of the brain? and what do they do?
Hindbrain (the upper left part that controls vital functions), Midbrain (controls reflex actions), Forebrain (the largest part made of cerebrum, that structures hide beneath)
Benefits if early shared reading?
learn new vocabulary even before they begin to speak, joint attention, and better oral language skills.
what is the principle of development that means the child has a control from center to outside (general limb functions)?
Proximodistal
who created the psychoanalytical theory?
Sigmund and Erik Ericson
what are the 3 processes of development?
reflexes, sensorimotor actions, representations
Structure of the neuron and what they do
cell body (connects to the nucleus and oversees metabolic functions), Dendrites (receive info other neurons), Axons (send impulses to other neurons), Myelin Sheath ( helps transfer the impulses)
how many dendrites grow at birth?
83%
4 themes in child development?
1.) Early development is related to later development. 2.) Development is jointly influenced by nature and nurture. 3.) child determined own development 4.) development in different domains are connected.
who created system theories (ecological systems)
Bronfen Brenner
5 continuums of emergent learning?
1.) Literacy development. 2.) oral language and written language skills (are interrelated). 3.) Functions of literacy. 4.) Active exploration. 5.) age and sequence of acquisition
stages of neuron development
1.) Proliferation= cell is born, 2.)neutral migration= neurons take their position but not connected, 3.) synaptogenesis= Neurons extend dendrites to connect to target axons, 4.) synaptic pruning= Use it or lose it, 5.) myelinization= most neurons coated in a fatty substance called myelin that acts as an electric insulator that enhances the flow, 6.) hemispheric Lateralization
what is the answer to the question about teratogens, Kathy gave us?
E) A+C
what does development milestones consist of?
development in sequence form and looksee checklist.
who created behavioral learning (classical conditioning, operant and social learning)
Ivan Pavlov and b.f skinner
What is inferential reading and provide 1 example
questions or comments that are made up of information from a photo in the book or indirect information from text
1. discussing or asking about characters’ attitudes, points of view, or motivations 2. making predictions or identifying causes for events 3. defining words 4. making connections among different texts or between the information in the book and the child’s or adult’s world knowledge
What is the hemispheric lateralization?
The left side of the brain= right-hand touch, speech, language, writing, logic, and math. The right side of the brain= left-hand touch, fantasy, creative thinking, intuition.
