Occipital, Frontal, Parietal, Temporal
What are lobes of the brain?
100
This process is when cells get coated with a fatty insulator to increase transmission speed.
What is myelination?
100
Environmental agents that can cause deviations from normal development and can lead to abnormalities or death
What are Teratogens?
100
Reaching, grasping and locomotion
What are examples of motor development?
100
The belief that adult-like capacities, desires, interests, and emotions are present in early childhood
What is preformationism?
200
Axon, Soma and Dendrite
What are parts of a neuron?
200
This structure forms the cerebral hemispheres and part of the basal ganglia
What is the telencephalon?
200
Cells that have the potential to grow into a complete embryo and, ultimately, to become a normal, healthy infant
What are totipotent stem cells?
200
Development and coordination of small muscles vs. large muscles of the body
What are gross motor skills and fine motor skills? OR What are differences between gross and fine motor skills?
200
The scientific requirement that the data being collected actually reflect the phenomenon being studied
What is validity?
300
This structure makes up the forebrain and contains the hypothalamus and thalamus. Known for controlling automatic functions in the body.
What is the Diencephalon?
300
This serves as the bridge between the left and right hemispheres
What is the corpus callosum?
300
This type of disorder is caused by a carrier female that passes the recessive allele on to a son, or a carrier female and male that both pass the recessive allele to a daughter.
What is X-linked recessive disorder?
300
Reflex schemas, Primary circular reactions, Secondary circular reactions, Coordination of secondary circular reactions, Tertiary circular reactions, Beginning of symbolic representation
What are the six sub-stages of Piaget's sensorimotor period of development?
300
Theories, such as those of Freud and Erikson, that explore the influence on developmental stages of universal biological drives and the life experiences of individuals.
What is psychosocial (or psychodynamic) theory?
400
The migration stage occurs where neurons move to their genetically programmed locations with the help of these cells
What is glial? OR What are glial cells?
400
The process where the embryo (still only a small clump of cells) folds back on itself to form the neural tube. The process is completed when the neural tube closes.
What is induction?
400
It is used to determine if a newborn requires emergency care. It’s components are heart rate, respiratory rate, muscle tone, reflex responsivity, and color, and scores range from 0-2 in each category
What is the APGAR scale?
400
These are known as the four stages of attention for an infant.
What is Stimulus-Detection Reflex, Stimulus Orienting, Sustained Attention and Attention Termination?
400
Theory that envisions development in terms of complex wholes made up of parts and that explore how these wholes and their parts are organized and interact and change over time
What is dynamic systems theory?
500
The organization process where cells begin to form the appropriate layers
What is differentiation?
500
Abnormalities in the development of the neural tube result in ____________ at the brain end and certain forms of ____________ at the spinal end.
What is anencephaly and spina bifida?
500
Fetuses respond to light this many weeks after conception, and may be able to perceive light penetrating the mother’s stomach wall.
What is 26 weeks?
500
An object is hidden under cover A and an 8-month-old baby is allowed to retrieve it. Then, in full view of the baby, the object is placed under cover B. When allowed to retrieve the object a second time, the baby will typically look under cover A, where the object was found, rather than under cover B, where the baby has just seen it placed.
What is A-to-B error? If an infant made an “A-not-B error,” Piaget reasoned that children remember the existence of the object but cannot reason systematically about it. Current research implies memory limitations, motor perseveration (repetition of a certain behavior – reaching for A, even if the child looked at B), and capture errors (tendency to use a once-successful solution) may also be reasons why infants fail the A-not-B task.

A period during which specific biological or environmental events are required for normal development to occur and a time in an organism’s development when a particular experience has an especially profound effect
