Document Summary

Domains of development: physical domain focus of this course. Changes in size, shape, composition, and characteristics of the body. Example of physiological processes assoc. with puberty: cognitive domain. Changes in thinking, memory, problem solving, etc: psycho-social domain. Personality, social skills, individual"s beliefs about themselves. However, in childhood brain development there is a process that decreases complexity . Aging can also involve progressive disorganization and loss of function in activities of daily living: progression in gross motor development. Misconceptions about genetics: genes are destiny, genes code for behaviors, genetic expression is inevitable, each genotype only gives rise to a specific phenotype. In different environments, the same genotype can give rise to different phenotypes: many disorders are due to single genes, the role of genetic factors in influencing disease is well-known. Twin studies help link environment and complex traits. Identical twins have same genome: differences in phenotype are caused by environmental factors, some of these are acquired via the epigenome.
