Document Summary

Exam study points #1-10: reoccurring issues in human development: the factors that shape your life. A pe(cid:396)so(cid:374)"s development is a blend of 3 fundamental characteristics of human development: Nature vs. nurture-how much of your development is due to genetic or hereditary influences(nature) or experiential or environmental influences(nurture). Continuity and discontinuity- whether a particular development represents a smooth progression through the life span(continuity) or a series of abrupt shifts(discontinuity). Universal vs. context-specific development- whether there is only 1 path of development or several. Psychodynamic theory-believe development is largely determined by how well people resolve conflicts they face at different ages.

Learning theory- concentrates on how learning influences a pe(cid:396)so(cid:374)"s behaviour. This theory examines behaviourism and social learning theory. Behaviour- is determined by the consequences of a behaviour whether it was reinforced o(cid:396) pu(cid:374)ished.
