What is a point in development when organisms are particularly susceptible to certain kinds of stimuli in their environments, but the absence of those stimuli does not always produce irreversible consequences?

What is the predetermined unfolding of genetic information?

What are explanations and predictions concerning phenomena of interest, providing a framework for understanding the relationships among an organized set of facts or principles?

What is type of learning in which an organism responds in a particular way to a neutral stimulus that normally does not bring about that type of response?

What is a form of learning in which a voluntary response is strengthened or weakened by its association with positive or negative consequences?

What is a formal technique for promoting the frequency of desirable behaviors and decreasing the incidence of unwanted ones?

What is the model that seeks to identify the ways individuals take in, use, and store information?

What is the theory that considers the relationship between individuals and their physical, cognitive, personality, and social worlds?

What is the perspective suggesting that levels of the environment simultaneously influence individuals?

What is the approach that emphasizes how cognitive development proceeds as a result of social interactions between members of a culture?

What is the theory that seeks to identify behavior that is a result of our genetic inheritance from out ancestors?

What is the process of posing and answering questions using careful, controlled techniques that include systematic, orderly observation and the collection of data?

What is prediction stated in a way that permits it to be tested?

What is research that seeks to identify whether an association or relationship between two factors exists?

What is research designed to discover causal relationships between various factors?

What is a type of corrrelational study in which some naturally occurring behavior is observed without intervention in the situation?

What are studies that involve extensive, in-depth interviews with a particular individual or small group of individuals?

What is a type of study where a group of people chosen to represent some larger population are asked questions about their attitudes, behavior, or thinking on a given topic?

What is research in which researchers examine a number of different age groups over several points in time?

What are studies seek to identify whether an association or relationship exists between two factors?

Psychology - Lifespan.

Which perspective seeks to identify behavior that is the result?

One very influential approach in understanding human development is the evolutionary perspective, the final developmental perspective that we will consider. This perspective seeks to identify behavior that is the result of our genetic inheritance from our ancestors.

What type of development involves the way in which individuals interactions with others and their relationships grow change or remain stable over the course of life?

Social development is the way in which individuals' interactions with others and their social relationships grow, change, and remain stable over the course of life.

What type of research is being conducted when the behavior of one or more research participants is measured over time?

Longitudinal study So, once again, researchers do not interfere with their subjects. However, in a longitudinal study, researchers conduct several observations of the same subjects over a period of time, sometimes lasting many years.
