What role do twins play in the study of human growth?

Because twins have the same DNA, scientists can use them to determine which behaviors are caused by the environment or genetics. A good example the video gives is comparing identical twins that grew up separated from each other, to twins that grew up in the same household together to show the influence different environments can cause.]]> 2018-03-20 17:27:02 UTC https://padlet.com/madelinelynnae/2qw39eb050k8/wish/244167224 madelinelynnae https://padlet.com/madelinelynnae/2qw39eb050k8/wish/244169566 #2. What role do genes and the environment play in human growth?

Human brains are programmed from birth to respond positively to being surrounded by other human beings. Humans spend a longer period of time to develop compared to other animals. Scientists think that the extended amount of time it takes humans to develop has allowed us to reach the top of the Animal Kingdom. ]]> 2018-03-20 17:30:32 UTC https://padlet.com/madelinelynnae/2qw39eb050k8/wish/244169566 madelinelynnae https://padlet.com/madelinelynnae/2qw39eb050k8/wish/244183285 #1. What are some of the changes that are examined by developmental psychology?

Physical, mental, and emotional changes are examined in the video by developmental psychology. For example, alcohol exposure during a baby's development inside the womb could cause long-term physical effects. Losing a parent or not getting enough attention from parents as a child could cause long-term emotional effects on a child throughout their life.

What are the seven (7) principles or perspectives (theories) of life-span development mentioned in the video; and share some brief details about each principle.

When a parent walks away from their baby, the baby cries because it seems to believe that the parent actually disappeared.

Jean Piaget discovered that children tend to have similar reasoning for their wrongdoings.

A baby exposed to alcohol while in the mother's womb could have long-term physical effects.

Lack of attention/love to a child growing up could lead to emotional issues later in the child's life.

A study of 70 babies in an FMRI machine discovered that the resting state networks of the babies were developed to a normal adult level.
