Document Summary
Ps/ne544: biological sensitivity to context (part 1) a. i. What determines bsc *** a. i. 1. environment: both highly stressful and highly supportive childhood environments increase bsc a. i. 1. a. extreme good or bad both affect bsc a. i. 2. Intermediate envt decrease bsc a. i. 3. genes: norm of reaction. Children differ in: a. i. 3. a. bsc starting point a. i. 3. b. degree of plasticity a. i. 4. There is a continuum a. i. 5. enivornmental variation in bsc does not show whether the kid is doing well, just sensitivity to context a. ii. Risk alleles a. ii. 1. maybe really plasticity alleles so depending on context can be good or bad a. ii. 2. drd4 and children with problems externalizing problems a. ii. 2. a. non-intervention group: kids got worse over time a. ii. 2. b. intervene: video-parenting interaction a. ii. 2. b. i. Show parents moment and give them suggestions to work on, effective strategy to help parent react to externalizing tendencies a. ii. 2. b. ii. Those (children) with drd4 improved more a. ii. 2. c. not a risk allele, because it is protective factor when intervening a. ii. 3.
