Document Summary
Six stages of nervous system development 15. In what ways is development continuous, and in. How do children become so different from each. Nature and nurture: nature refers to our biological endowment, especially the genes we receive from our parents (nativist) even in the womb, nurture physical and social environments that influence our development (empiricist) o. ***nature and nurture work together; not 43% nature and 57% nurture; interactive and inseparable. Will talk later in the semester about twin studies. Mechanisms of development: how does change happen? (darwin"s evolution) Variation: differences in thought, processes and behavior. Certain traits are more beneficial and others (natural selection) E. g. how kids learn to crawl (video we watched on first day) Whatever is most successful is the one that will win. Genes are shared, but they are not 100% the same. How you react to how others treat you. E. g. children who are dealing with bullying by the same kid.
