Document Summary

* development: changes in humans over time; physical, cognitive and psychosocial. * developmental changes are relatively long lasting and enduring (not emotional, appearance, etc) and systematic, or orderly and patterned. * longitudinal research: study the same group of participants across multiple time points, tells you about developmental change; however, it is time consuming and participants may drop out. * cross sectional research: compares different age groups at one time point, tells you about developmental differences; however there are cohort effects (due to experience) if age groups are dramatically different. * childhood fragility: assumption that children are easily damaged by certain experiences; however children often show resiliency in the face of adversity. * genes and environment are not easily untangled, in fact they often interact and correlate (example of correlation; as we get older we tend to seek out environments that reinforce our genetic tendencies) (example of interaction; Dat gene + mom smoker > increased risk of adhd)
