Document Summary
Critical period: brain set to acquire a function during a limited time period will never develop if missed critical period (unlike sensitive period) (ie) genie isolated until 13. Cross-sectional: assesses age differences but not age changes due to cohort effects. Sequential: different age groups are multiple occasions to reduce cohort effects. Longitudinal: determines causation without interference of cohort effects. Prenatal period: germinal (weeks 1-2, ends 20% of pregnancies due to improper implantation), Embryonic (weeks 3-8, ends 33% of pregnancies due to miscarriage or defects), fetal. Teratogens: environmental agents that harm fetus (ie. fetal alcohol syndrome) Top-down (cephalocaudal) development vs inside-out (proximodistal) development. Assimilation: interpreting new info in light of old schema. Accommodation: modifying old schema to fit new situations.
