Structuralism
Focuses on the structure of the mind and the basic elements of consciousness.
Cognitive Psychology
The primary focus is on the processes of thinking, memory, and problem-solving.
Longitudinal Study
Research method involving studying the same individuals over an extended period of time.
Object Permanence
Piaget's cognitive stage where the understanding of object permanence occurs, typically in the Sensorimotor stage.
N3 (Deep Sleep)
Stage of sleep most crucial for physical restoration and recovery.
Thalamus
Brain structure primarily responsible for processing sensory information and relaying it to appropriate areas.
Serotonin
Neurotransmitter strongly associated with mood regulation; its imbalance is linked to depression.
Generativity vs. Stagnation
Erikson’s stage where contributing to society and future generations in middle adulthood is a key focus.
Cones
Type of receptor in the eye that detects light and is responsible for color vision.
Neuroplasticity
The ability of the brain to change and reorganize itself in response to experience.
Sympathetic Division
Part of the autonomic nervous system responsible for the body's 'fight or flight' response.
Parasympathetic Division
Part of the autonomic nervous system responsible for 'rest and digest' functions.
Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD)
Vygotsky's concept indicating the range of tasks that a learner can perform with guidance but not independently.
Perceptual Set
A mental predisposition to perceive one thing and not another; for example, seeing a face in cloud formations.
Accommodation
Piaget's concept of altering existing schemas when encountering new information; differs from assimilation, which involves integrating new information into existing schemas.
Stages of Sleep
The main stages of sleep include NREM and REM sleep, which contribute to physical and mental health.
Attachment Theory
Explains how a child’s behavior, such as self-esteem issues, is influenced by the type of attachment formed with caregivers.
Erikson’s Psychosocial Stages
The stage most related to the child's development in the scenario is 'Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt.'
Social and Emotional Outcomes
Children from authoritarian households may experience low self-esteem and anxiety in adolescence and adulthood.
Effects of Sleep Deprivation
Likely leads to decreased cognitive performance in areas such as memory recall, attention, and problem-solving.
Circadian Rhythms
Biological mechanisms contributing to sleep patterns and overall health.
Brain Regions Involved
Regions such as the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex are involved in memory and attention.
Research Design for Intelligence
A twin study design is recommended to study the interaction of nature and nurture in intelligence.
Epigenetics
The study of how environmental factors can affect gene expression, impacting cognitive abilities.
Biopsychosocial Approach
An approach that considers biological, psychological, and social factors in understanding behavior and outcomes.
Sensory Adaptation
The process by which our sensitivity to sensory stimuli decreases over time when exposed to constant stimuli.
Auditory System
The system involved in processing sound, including areas such as the auditory cortex.
Neural Communication Process
Altered due to constant exposure, affecting how sound stimuli are processed.
Erikson's Stage of Stagnation
The stage the 60-year-old man is experiencing, indicating a lack of contribution to society.
Cognitive Factors in Crisis
Memory, problem-solving, and social relationships contribute to the man's experience of stagnation.
Strategies for Navigating Stagnation
Counseling strategies can help foster a sense of generativity and contribution.
Nature and Nurture Relationship
The interplay of genetic inheritance and environmental influences in shaping behavior, cognitive abilities, and emotional well-being.
Epigenetics in Development
Refers to how environmental factors can impact gene expression throughout the lifespan.
Biopsychosocial Examples
Illustrates how biological, psychological, and social factors interact in human development.
