Concept #6
Transient disorders are
What is disorders that are not lasting, enduring, or permanent
The process of development...
What is a process of change
True/False: Human development is shaped by a one time source of vulnerability and resilience
What is FALSE
Developmental plasticity is; happens when
What is the capacity of the brain to reorganize its function/structure in response to a specific event or mental uneasiness; What is in a change of environment
Agency is
What is being able to influence and have an impact in your own life
Maturational delays are
What are when children don't reach certain developmental abilities or milestones at expected times
True/False: A child's development is full of both continuities and discontinuities
What is TRUE
Examples of protective factors
What is good health, physical attractiveness, loving parents, and strong social network
Developmental transitions are
What is major changes to a person-environment relationship
Psychological growth is more likely to be compromised when
What is when agency opportunities are limited
Examples of maturational delays
What is speech delays, problems with crawling/rolling, difficulty swallowing, difficulty picking up small objects, no eye contact, scared of new people, reduced vocabulary
Examples of transitions that are gradual, cumulative, and continuous
What is memory function, baby teeth formation, speech development, and motor skills development
Examples of risk factors
What is temperamental difficulties, chromosomal abnormality, poverty, and family violence
Critical and sensitive periods are
What is episodes in development where specific functions/structures are especially susceptible to outside experiences
The goal of all early childhood interventions
What is to increase a better developmental trajectory and outcome for each child
Examples of persistent impairments
What is blindness, deafness, severe motor deficits, or cognitive/learning deficits
Self awareness, a baby's first words, crawling, and walking are examples of what type of transition
What is qualitative and discontinuous transitions
Matching:
A. Cumulative _____ associated with greater developmental resilience
B. Cumulative _____ associated with greater developmental vulnerability
WORD BANK: burden of multiple risk factors; buffer of multiple protective factors
A= buffer of multiple protective factors
B= burden of multiple risk factors
Derived from both quick consolidation of essential capacities and a lifelong flexibility to adjust to changing circumstances
What is human adaptation
Interventions should identify and ____ the influence of existing risk factors; identify and enhance the capacity of available _____ ______.
BLANK 1- What is mitigate
BLANK 2- What is protective factors
Makes it difficult to distinguish maturational delays from persistent impairments
What is a broad range of individual differences in young children
A child's development unfolds along its individual pathways with trajectories that are characterized by...
What is continuities and discontinuities, as well as by series of significant transitions
Developmental pathways are compared to
What is valleys and ridges- formed by a ball rolling downhill
Sensitive period is preferred when talking about humans (as opposed to critical period) because
What is because it implies less rigidity in nature and timing of the required experiences
Examples of different focusses of early childhood interventions
What is direct experiences for child, behaviors of the child's primary caregivers and child-caregiver relationship
