👶 BABY HAS ARRIVED!
During which stage of birth is the baby delivered through the birth canal?
Stage 2
Put these prenatal periods in the correct order:
Fetal — Germinal — Embryonic
Germinal → Embryonic → Fetal
What type of cell division produces eggs and sperm?
Meiosis
Development involves changes in the body and brain, thinking and language, and emotions and relationships.
What life-span characteristic does this illustrate?
Multidimensionality
What newborn assessment is typically given at about 1 and 5 minutes after birth?
Apgar Scale
I produce new neurons during prenatal brain development.
What process am I?
Neurogenesis
One fertilized egg splits and develops into two individuals.
What type of twins result?
Monozygotic / identical twins
At age 65, Maria's processing speed has declined, but her vocabulary and expertise have continued to improve.
Which life-span characteristic is illustrated?
Multidirectionality
Baby A is born at 35 weeks but has an appropriate weight for that gestational age.
Baby B is born full term but weighs substantially less than expected for that gestational age.
Classify each baby.
Baby A → Preterm
Baby B → Small for gestational age
Two pregnancies involve exposure to the same potential teratogen, but the developmental outcomes are different.
Name TWO factors that could explain the difference.
A child is naturally very outgoing. Her sociability causes adults and peers to interact with her more often.
Which genotype–environment correlation does this BEST illustrate?
Evocative genotype–environment correlation
A researcher finds that adolescents who spend more time on social media report more anxiety.
Can the researcher conclude that social media causes anxiety? Why or why not?
No. This is a correlation; correlation does not establish causation.
A premature infant is placed upright against a parent's bare chest for extended skin-to-skin contact.
Name this intervention AND explain its basic developmental purpose.
Kangaroo care
A potentially harmful exposure occurs while the major organs are beginning to form.
Identify:
1. The prenatal period
2. The developmental process occurring
Two children have a genetic tendency toward tall height.
One receives adequate nutrition throughout childhood; the other experiences severe nutritional deprivation.
They reach very different adult heights.
What major developmental principle does this case demonstrate?
Genes and environment interact in shaping phenotype/development.
A researcher wants to determine whether a new learning strategy actually causes better memory performance.
What type of research design would provide the strongest test of causation
Experimental design / experiment
