Ch 1: The scope and methods of developmental psychology :red_flag:
Describe and explain changes that occur over time
Concepts of human development
Folk theories
Punishing the child regularly
Punishment is useless
According to world views
Organismic
Environment shapes people, new stage, giving another characteristic Ex: Piaget
Mechanistic
People like machines, change because of environment and results in increase or growth in a behavior. No stages, continuous growth and behaviorists
Studying development
Designs
Longitudinal
Studies with same group at different ages
Strong: Cohort (group) effects at different points in development
Weak: Expensive, long wait
DQ
Cross-sectional
Different ages at the same time
Sequential
Combination of cross and longitudinal desings, best ones but most expensive
When different story
Noise, equivalence, time between measures
Microgenetic methods
Short period of time, detail
Cohort effects
Not only difference group has
Research methods
Observational studies
Interrater Reliability (two researchers' conclusion)
Baby biographies + Darwin
Expiramental
Theories needed, used to study the causality
Ex: Softenon incident
Correlational
Importance of research evidence
Common observation being an adequate substitution
Catharsis hypothesis
Seeing violence provokes more
Growing and changing
Increasing and decreasing ability
U-shaped ability ( emotion regulation) and inverted U (fluid memory)
Stages
Studying changes with age
Changes on babies result from expirience, as at the begining they are a helpless creature
We study this through intervention methods (direct/indirect), after making a clear research question
