Document Summary

Issues in development: neural development, visual development. Note: left frontal love more involved in positive emotions right in negative, more activity in left when watching happy films more in right for sad/disgusting films, visible in 10 month old infants. Change in abilities over time: might be talking about memory, motor activity, any abilty and over some restricted time those abilities are changed. Obviously interaction: nature determines the range, nurture chooses the alternative, both of them are always involved, one might be more involved but they are both always involved. Continuous development: smooth, continual change, quantitative different, fish just gets bigger and can swim better. Normative: typical sequence of change, look for consistency, methodology is cross sectional, means that what you do is compare kids from one age group compare to other age group, looking for consistency within those groups, takes long time.
