Neurological Dev. #1
What is the basic cell of the brain🧠 and nervous system?
Neuron
What chemical🔬 is communicated between neurons?
Neurotransmitters
What term did Piaget give to the basic building blocks that children use to understand their world?
Scheme/Schema
Behaviors that benefit others are called?
Prosocial (learn this from parents/caregivers)
Erikson's Psychosocial stages arise as individuals grow and face new social stages. What is the term Erikson used to describe the challenge🚨?
Crisis because each stage gets more complex and so adapting and learning at each stage is critical for the next level.
What part of the cell transmits information to other neurons and is mostly covered in myelin?
Axon
Neurotransmitters travel across what, between nuerons?
Synapse
What is Piaget's 1st stage of Cognitive Development called?
Sensorimotor
Around 3 months infants recognize faces and start to do what (2 words)?🙂
Social smile
Describe either 🎯Zone of Proximal Development related to this class and the way you study.
ZPD focuses on the zone of how much you know and don't know and moving just beyond what you know.
What part of the cell receives information from other nuerons?
Dendrites
What is a neurological reaction👀 to a stimulus that is often considered a survival/developmental reaction?
Reflexes
What is the focus of the sensorimotor stage?
Understanding the world through the senses.
When infants and toddlers look to others to see how to behave (social learning), what do we call this?
Social Referencing
Erikson's🚸 autonomy vs shame occurs from about 1 1/2 - 3. What is one positive and 1 negative outcome?
If exploration is encouraged safely, they develop confidence in themselves. If parents do everything, they develop doubt.
What substance covers the axon and speeds up transmission🏃🏽♂️➡️?
Myelin
Hormones are to the endocrine system as neurons are to what system?🧠🩻
Nervous system
When a child sees anything that flies and calls it a bird (could be a 🦋butterfly, bee, etc.), Piaget called this what?
Assimilation (new experiences are incorporated into what you know without modification).
Fast Mapping
When a child uses a word too narrowly, what is this called? For example. saying the only blanket is their blanket.
Underextension
What disorder is impacted by the immune system attacking myelin and causing interruptions in nervous system functioning (walking, vision, numbness and weakness)?
Multiple Sclerosis
How many neurological connections ♾️are made in the first few years of life, if the developmental conditions are appropriate?
Billions
When a child sees a bee and can distinguish the bee from a bird, Piaget called this what?
Accommodation
What are 3 of the 4 top causes of death in infants (under 1)💥?
Birth Defects, Low Birth Weight, SIDS, and Accidents
When a child uses a word too broadly, what is this called? For example, saying all red fruit is an apple.
Overextension
