The best time to go through puberty (this helps avoid some negative impacts on teens)
What is "on-time"?
200
This theory of cognitive development proposes that stimuli from the environment are process through our sensory memory, then temporarily stored in short term memory (also called our working memory), before hopefully being stored in our long-term memory.
What is information processing theory?
200

What is long-term memory?
300
The type of memory is represented in the movie Inside Out when Riley remembers playing hockey with her dad
What is a long-term memory?
400
An aspect of brain maturation in which more myelin is formed around the axons of neurons, thereby increasing neural transmission
What is myelination?
400
The pincer grasp is an example of this kind of motor skill
What is an example of a fine motor skill?
400
Understanding that objects exist and that events go on in the world even if they infant/toddler can’t see them; this involves the ability to create a mental picture of that person/event (such as having a mental picture of a favorite toy, even if it was left behind at grandma's house)
What is object permanence?

The selective elimination of non-essential synapses and the strengthening of important neural connections
What is synaptic pruning?
500
Our ability to move our bodies and manipulate objects
What are motor skills?
500
Chomsky thought that the human brain contains this kind of device to help us learn language and grammar
What is the Language Acquisition Device?
500
The type of memory that is used to hold information in the short-term in the movie Inside Out.
What is working memory?
600
DAILY DOUBLE
Fibers that extend from neurons and receive electrochemical impulses transmitted from other neurons via their axons
600
A process that stimulates the body’s immune system by causing the production of antibodies to defend against attack by a specific contagious disease
What is an immunization?
600
The ability to recognize that moving or rearranging matter does not change the quantity
What is conservation?

The process of controlling or modifying one's emotions, as demonstrated by Joy in the movie Inside Out
What is emotion regulation?

The intersection between the axon of one neuron to the dendrites of another neuron
What is a synapse?

What is toilet training?
700
A child know that you walk today, so you walked yesterday. Because of that lesson, they tell people the "runned" during PE yesterday. This is an example of ________________.

What is the limbic system?
800
In this type of physical growth/development, feet and hands grow first, followed by the legs and arms, and then the core muscles
What is distalproximal development?
800
Tasks that a child cannot do independently, but they can do with support from and adult or more learned peer (Vygotsky)
What is the Zone of Proximal Development?
800
The character in the movie Inside Out who demonstrates the concept of resilience in the face of adversity
Who is Riley?
900
This is part of the limbic system in the brain and is involved with emotions and emotional responses and is particularly active during puberty

The percent of weight that the average newborn loses immediately after birth
What is 5%?
