What is accommodation?
In Piaget's Stages of Cognitive Development theory, this stage involves physical and sensory exploration.
What is the sensorimotor stage?
These are the genes you express.
What is your phenotype?
The term for a period in which a stimulus has increased effect on some organism, though the ending of that period does not limit the organism's ability to learn related skills.
What is a sensitive/continuous period?
TOPIC: Critical Periods
This term, based on the Exercise Hypothesis, is what you learn and exercise during a critical period that you later use to learn related skills after the terminus of that critical period.
.
What is a 'matrix'?
This person invented the telephone.
Who is Alexander Graham Bell?
This theory, as a reaction to the Preformationists, claims that development is driven entirely by environment and not at all biology.
What is Locke's Tabula Rasa?
This theorist was the first to propose the idea of developmental "stages" and claimed that these stages are susceptible to both environmental and biological influences.
Who is Rousseau?
This is the percentage of twins that display the same trait.
What is the concordance rate?
This is the name of the method that allowed researchers to investigate the timeline of the brain's visual system physical development by blinding an organism in one eye.
What is monocular deprivation?
This is the author of the world-renowed Sherlock Holmes book series.
Who is Arthur Conan Doyle?
"The 20th Century" is an example of this level of Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory.
What is the chronosystem?
This theory claims that the pace and length of developmental stages are determined entirely by biology and involve reverberating between 'equilibrium' and 'disequilibrium' in skills.
What is Gesell's Maturation theory?
Examples of this type of influence on genetics may include foods eaten in a household, or hand-me-down clothes.
What is shared environmental influence?
According to Colombo's Five Key Criteria of Critical Periods, this is the skill/biology being affected by a critical period.
What is the critical system?
This bearded hurdler won the gold medal in 400m hurtles at the 1976 and 1984 Olympics.

What is Reciprocal Determinism?
This theorist/theory says that individuals can return to past stages to 'renegotiate' skills learned in that stage, but cannot advance to the next stage until completing the one they are on.
What is Erikson's Psychosocial Theory?
These are the type of twin that, in a twin study of genetics, we will investigate to determine whether environment played a role in developing some trait.
What are monozygotic twins?
This hypothesis proposes that when a critical period closes, any chance of learning related skills does as well.
What is the Maturational State Hypothesis?
