John Bowlby Attachment theory - children are biologically predisposed to develop attachment with primary caregivers as a means of increasing the chances of their own survival

Secure attachment - Children feel confident in confiding in a person that will respond sensitively to a situation

Anxious Ambivalent attachment - On and off emotional connection to parent, indifferent towards caregiver

Avoidant attachment (insecure) - Indifferent or avoiding toward their caregiver

Internal working model - Guides children’s interactions with caregivers

permissive parents - make few demands to set limits, and use little punishment

neglectful parents - are uninvolved, neither demanding or responsive

authoritative parents - demanding. but responsive, encourage open discussion and allow expectations

set point - desired level of proximity

felt security - less about the action but more about how the action is interpreted in the mind

Natural Selection - produces different outcomes when the adaptive problems differ between the sexes

Natural Selection similarities and differences - Similarities (Kindness, Intelligence, symmetry), Difference (Men: prefer physical attractiveness and Women: Cues to resource acquisition)

Emotion (3 Part Phenomenon) - Psychological arousal, Behavioral expression, and Subjective feeling

Psychological arousal - Bodily functions cause by the emotion

Behavioral expression - The action caused by the emotion

Subjective feeling - In the moment awareness

Mood - Long lasting emotional states

Primary emotions - sad, happy, mad, fear, disgust, surprised

JamesLange theory - Increasing ones physical response by enhancing the emotion, perception of body action contribute to emotional feeling

two factor theory - an emotional experience requires conscious awareness of arousal

Men and woman want their partner to be - Kind and Intelligent

what do emotions do for us - they prompt us to do things

Display rules - large cultural differences of when and where its okay to display your emotions

spillover effect - ones emotion effecting the people around them

Effective forecasting - imagining the future, focusing on one aspect

subjective wellbeing - things that appear as better at first then become regular, they can make you happy at first but then they become regular (Materialistic things)

Flourishing - Gratitude journeys, finding fulfillment in worthwhile tasks (closer relationships, money, gratitude, and exercise)

internal working model - guides children interactions with caregivers and others not just in infancy but also in adolescence and adulthood

Cognition - mental activities associated with thinking, knowing, remembering, and communicating information

Metacognition - thinking about thinking

crystallized intelligence - factual knowledge about the world (increases with age)

fluid intelligence - ability to think on the spot (declines slowly after childhood)

analytical intelligence - ability to solve puzzles

creative intelligence - novel insights, seeing relationships among things

practical intelligence - ability to cope to an environment (contextual intelligence)

emotional intelligence - perceiving, using, understanding, and managing emotions

grit vs. self control - self control: the ability to regulate attention, emotion, and behavior in the moment. grit: consistency and perseverance of effort.

Sternberg triarchic theory - analytical, creative, and practical intelligence

delay of gratification - will power = self control, low will power = low self control

continuity vs stages - continuity (learn anything whenever), stages (you have to learn certain things at a certain age)

nature vs nurture - nature is genes, nurture is the way that you are raised

Harry Harlow - contact comfort is important in development for infants

Mental/chronological - metal(average age in which children achieved a score),

Binet Simon test - calculated a child’s mental age (ma) and it compared it to their chronological age (ca)

Flynn effect - large studies over the general populations absolute scores improve over the years

restricted range - limited variability or diversity within a sample or set of data points

Hereditarian - intelligence is influences by genetics

IQ is determined by - (Mental Age * Cognitive age) / 100

heritability - the amount of trait variation within a group that can be statistically counted for by genetic differences between people

environmental approach - intelligence can be shaped through life experiences

racial and ethic differences - the average iq scores of children of different racial and ethnic groups differ. between group differences are reduced or erased when environmental differences are accounted for

fixed mindset - predetermined thinking that cannot grow, effort → deficient

growth mindset - basic abilities that is developed through hard work, effort → growth

schooling excerpts - an effect on test performance beyond that of the Childs age

heuristic - allows us to make snap decisions, cognitive shortcuts (implicit/natural)

Availability heuristic - what happened in recent events

algorithms - are methodical rules or procedures

insight - a sudden realization to a problem’s solution

fixation - the inability to see another solution for a problem

mental set - approaching a problem in one particular way, using habits

functional fixedness - tendency to view items in terms of their most typical terms

divergent thinking - expands the number of solutions to a problem by diverging from different concepts and patterns
