Twins have almost identical DNA. Studies following twins who were separated at birth contrasted to those who were raised together to see the effect their surroundings had versus their genetic makeup. -Liela Brown-]]> 2017-08-01 23:07:33 UTC https://padlet.com/lbrown0415/ogab7fb7c9eg/wish/179894221 What role do genes and the environment play in human growth? lbrown0415 https://padlet.com/lbrown0415/ogab7fb7c9eg/wish/179894854 A: In many cases they play in equal part in our development. Genes don't dictate behavior but they do facilitate certain responses. Humans take longer after birth than any other animal to grow and learn how to function independently. Our interactions with each other are complex. We are still learning how genes and the environment influence one another. -Liela Brown-]]> 2017-08-01 23:14:22 UTC https://padlet.com/lbrown0415/ogab7fb7c9eg/wish/179894854 What are some of the changes that are examined by developmental psychology? lbrown0415 https://padlet.com/lbrown0415/ogab7fb7c9eg/wish/179895832 A: It studies how we change over our lives, like our emotional, physical and mental maturity progress. They study what motivates us and what effects. An example would be the research of chemicals, such as alcohol, have on a fetus to a young brain to an adult brain. -Liela Brown-]]> 2017-08-01 23:24:14 UTC https://padlet.com/lbrown0415/ogab7fb7c9eg/wish/179895832 What are the seven principles, or perspectives(theories) of life-span development from the video? lbrown0415 https://padlet.com/lbrown0415/ogab7fb7c9eg/wish/179896307 1) Continuities in development, things that don't change between childhood and adulthood
2) cognitive changes-Piaget
3) changes in motivation-Erikson
4)changes in moral thinking-Kohlberg
5) visual perception-recognizing depth and perspective and that something is their even when unseen
6) language use-a person's language influences their social development by how they use it and what it means culturally
7)nature versus nurture- how experiences in early childhood effect behavior later on as an adult, like getting enough hugs
