Test Corrections
For each question you missed, write down the entire correct answer (not just
the letter) and where it is at in the textbook or notes, and what it says about
it..
Example:Question 3. Soma is the correct answer. Found in notes. Soma is the main body of the neuron.
Value Walk!!!
For each statement,
1. please move to the side of the room that you agree with most.
2. Also record your answers on a blank sheet of paper.
1
You grow (physically, mentally) more during your high school years than any
other
2
You are who you are based on how your parents raised you.
3
Genetics (nature) trump the environment (nurture) in any situation.
4
Children need to be loved by another human in order to develop correctly.
1. What types of things does nature/nurture influence in your life?
2. What are the actual things on each side that influence you?
What impact does poverty have on world nature vs. nurture views?-Does it change over time?
Nature vs. NurtureHeredity vs. Environment
The life you have lived has been determined by these two factors.
Nature vs. NurtureHeredity vs. Environment
Essential Topics
• Compare and contrast models of moral development (e .g ., Kohlberg, Gilligan)
• Discuss the interaction of nature and nurture (including cultural variations) in the determination of behavior
• Identify key contributors in developmental psychology (e .g ., Mary Ainsworth, Albert Bandura, Diana Baumrind, Erik Erikson, Sigmund Freud, Carol Gilligan, Harry Harlow, Lawrence Kohlberg, Konrad Lorenz, Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky)
• Explain the maturation of cognitive abilities (e .g ., Piaget’s stages, information processing)
• Predict the physical and cognitive changes that emerge as people age, including steps that can be taken to maximize function
Heredity/Nature
The genetic transmission of physical and psychological characteristics from parents to their children.
Many personal features are set at the time of conception.
Heredity/Nature
Nucleus of every human cells contains 46 chromosomes-the thread like structures that hold the coded instructions for heredity.
The long chains are made up of chemical molecules that = DNA
We are 99.9% the same as everyone else, ever. (1 out of every 1,000 base pairs separates you from anyone else)
Is human behavior motivated by a universal "human nature" or is human behavior learned through culture? Are we really all that different?
Story creation
Heredity/Nature
The way that our particular processes or personal characteristics are affected is by genes.
Small areas of DNA code.
Most characteristics are polygenic, or controlled by more than one working together.
The Impact of DNA
Heredity/Nature
Dominant vs. Recessive
Control every time vs. must be paired with a second recessive gene
Heredity/Nature
Heredity influences events from conception to senescence all the way to death.
This fact causes the overall pattern of physical development to be universal
(We will come back to this topic later)
Aging/old age
Heredity/NatureHow soon?
Very early
Newborn babies show differences in temperament (the physical core of personality)
Babies can be -easy chidren -relaxed and agreeable 40%-difficult children -moody, intense, easily angered 10%-slow-to-warm -up children- restrained, unexpressive, shy 15%
Environment/Nurture
Environment is the sum of all external conditions that affect a person.
Can be a very powerful impact
Genetically we are very similar to those that lived 30,000 years ago, yet we are quite different.
Environment/NurtureReferring back to our Value Walk, at what ages do you learn/develop the most? When are you the most susceptible to influences?
Environment/Nurture
These times of increased sensitivity to environmental influences are called critical periods.
Language??
21-36 months
Environment/Nurture
How does the environment influence us before we are born? – intrauterine environment
Environment/Nurture
How does the environment influence us before we are born? – intrauterine environment
Teratogens are anything capable of causing birth defects
Nature vs. Nurture
Please read the article that lays out Nature vs. Nurture and make a conclusion using the Venn diagram of
which is more influential. Please write your conclusions down on the paper.
Environment/NurtureDo you think that heredity, or environment best explains who you are today? Can you think of clear examples?

Mini-quiz1. Developmental Psychology-The study of progressive changes in behavior and
abilities from conception to death2. Heredity-The transmission of physical and psychological characteristics from
parents to offspring through genes3. DNA- a molecular structure that contains coded genetic information4. Genes-specific areas on a strand of DNA that carry hereditary information5. Polygenic characteristics-personal traits or physical properties that are influence
by many genes working in combination6. Environment/Nurture- The sum of all external conditions affecting
development, including especially the effects of learning7. Critical Period- during development, a period of increased sensitivity to
environmental influences. 8. Slow to warm up child- a child who is temperamentally restrained and
unexpressive9. Difficult child- a child who is temperamentally moody, intense, and easily
angered 10. Easy child- a child who is temperamentally relaxed and agreeable
Timeline creation1.Using page 86 in your book, as well as
the article, please create a “timeline” that tracks a human through their life.
a. For each of the 7 “stops” I would like for you to include the ages, as well as an important event that occurs during this time. You will also provide an image.
