Teacher Information Types of Files Animation
This presentation has been saved as a “basic” Powerpoint file. While this file format placed a few limitations on the presentation, it insured the file would be compatible with the many versions of Powerpoint teachers use. To add functionality to the presentation, teachers may want to save the file for their specific version of Powerpoint. Animation Once again, to insure compatibility with all versions of Powerpoint, none of the slides are animated. To increase student interest, it is suggested teachers animate the slides wherever possible. Adding slides to this presentation Teachers are encouraged to adapt this presentation to their personal teaching style. To help keep a sense of continuity, blank slides which can be copied and pasted to a specific location in the presentation follow this “Teacher Information” section.
80
Teacher Information Hyperlink Slides - This presentation contain two types of hyperlinks. Hyperlinks can be identified by the text being underlined and a different color (usually purple). Unit subsections hyperlinks: Immediately after the unit title slide, a page (slide #3) can be found listing all of the unit’s subsections. While in slide show mode, clicking on any of these hyperlinks will take the user directly to the beginning of that subsection. This allows teachers quick access to each subsection. Bold print term hyperlinks: Every bold print term from the unit is included in this presentation as a hyperlink. While in slide show mode, clicking on any of the hyperlinks will take the user to a slide containing the formal definition of the term. Clicking on the “arrow” in the bottom left corner of the definition slide will take the user back to the original point in the presentation. These hyperlinks were included for teachers who want students to see or copy down the exact definition as stated in the text. Most teachers prefer the definitions not be included to prevent students from only “copying down what is on the screen” and not actively listening to the presentation. For teachers who continually use the Bold Print Term Hyperlinks option, please contact the author using the address on the next slide to learn a technique to expedite the returning to the original point in the presentation.
81
Teacher Information Continuity slides
Throughout this presentation there are slides, usually of graphics or tables, that build on one another. These are included for three purposes. By presenting information in small chunks, students will find it easier to process and remember the concepts. By continually changing slides, students will stay interested in the presentation. To facilitate class discussion and critical thinking. Students should be encouraged to think about “what might come next” in the series of slides. Please feel free to contact me at with any questions, concerns, suggestions, etc. regarding these presentations. Kent Korek Germantown High School Germantown, WI 53022

Developmental Psychology
= a branch of psychology that studies physical, cognitive, and social change throughout the life span.
87
Zygote = the fertilized egg, it enters a 2-week period of rapid cell division and develops into an embryo.
88
Embryo = the developing human organism from about 2 weeks after fertilization through the second month.
89
Fetus = the developing human organism from 9 weeks after conception to birth.
90
Teratogens = agents, such as chemicals and viruses, that can reach the embryo or fetus during prenatal development and cause harm.
91
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)
= physical and cognitive abnormalities in children caused by a pregnant woman’s heavy drinking. In severe cases, symptoms include noticeable facial misproportions.
92
Habituation = decreasing responsiveness with repeated stimulation. As infants gain familiarity with repeated exposure to a visual stimulus, their interest wanes and they look away sooner.
93
Maturation = biological growth processes that enable orderly changes in behavior, relatively uninfluenced by experience.
94
Cognition = all mental activities associated with thinking, knowing, remembering, and communicating.
95
Schema = a concept or framework that organizes and interprets information.
96
Assimilation = interpreting our new experiences in terms of our existing schemas.
97
Accommodation = adapting our current understandings (schemas) to incorporate new information.
98
Sensorimotor Stage = in Piaget’s theory, the stage (from birth to about 2 years of age) during which infants know the world mostly in terms of their sensory impressions and motor activities.
99
Object Permanence = the awareness that things continue to exist when not perceived.
100
Preoperational Stage = in Piaget’s theory, the stage (from 2 to about 6 or 7 years of age) during which a child learns to use language but does not yet comprehend the mental operations of concrete logic..
101
Conservation = the principle (which Piaget believed to be a part of concrete operational reasoning) that properties such as mass, volume, and number remain the same despite changes in the forms of objects.
102
Egocentrism = in Piaget’s theory, the preoperational child’s difficulty taking another’s point of view.
103
Theory of Mind = people’s ideas about their own and other’s mental states – about their feelings, perceptions, and thoughts, and the behaviors these might predict.
104
Concrete Operational Stage
= in Piaget’s theory, the stage of cognitive development (from about 6 or 7 to 11 years of age) during which children gain the mental operations that enable them to think logically about concrete events.
105
Formal Operational Stage
= in Piaget’s theory, the stage of cognitive development (normally beginning about age 12) during which people begin to think logically about abstract concepts.
106
Autism = a disorder that appears in childhood and is marked by deficient communication, social interaction, and understanding of other’s states of mind.
107
Stranger Anxiety = the fear of strangers that infants commonly display, beginning by about 8 months of age.
108
Attachment = an emotional tie with another person; shown in young children by their seeking closeness to the caregiver and showing distress on separation.
109
Critical Period = an optimal period shortly after birth when an organism’s exposure to certain stimuli or experiences produces proper development.
110
Imprinting = the process by which certain animals form attachments during a critical period very early in life.
111
Temperament = a person’s characteristic emotional reactivity and intensity.
112
Basic Trust = according to Erik Erikson, a sense that the world is predictable and trustworthy; said to be formed during infancy by appropriate experiences with responsive caregivers.
113
Self-concept = our understanding and evaluation of who we are.
114
Gender = in psychology, the biologically and socially influenced characteristics by which people define male and female.
115
Aggression = physical or verbal behavior intended to hurt someone.
116
X Chromosome = the sex chromosome found in both men and women. Females have two X chromosomes; males have one. An X chromosome from each parent produces a female child.
117
Y Chromosome =the sex chromosome found only in males. When paired with an X chromosome from the mother, it produces a male child.
118
Testosterone = the most important of the male sex hormones. Both males and females have it, but the additional testosterone in males stimulates the growth of the male sex organs in the fetus and the development of the male sex characteristics during puberty.
119
Role = a set of expectations (norms) about a social position, defining how those in the position ought to behave.
120
Gender Role = a set of unexpected behaviors for males or for females.
121
Gender Identity = our sense of being male or female.
122
Gender Typing = the acquisition of a traditional masculine or feminine role.
123
Social Learning Theory
= the theory that we learn social behavior by observing and imitating and by being rewarded or punished.
124
Adolescence = the transition period from childhood to adulthood, extending from puberty to independence.
125
Puberty = the period of sexual maturation, during which a person becomes capable of reproducing.
126
Primary Sexual Characteristics
= the body structures (ovaries, testes, and external genitalia) that makes sexual reproduction possible.
127
Secondary Sex Characteristics
= nonreproductive sexual characteristics, such as female breasts and hips, male voice quality, and body hair.
128
Menarche = the first menstrual period.
129
Identity = our sense of self; according to Erikson, the adolescent’s task is to solidify a sense of self by testing and integrating various roles.
130
Social Identify = the “we” aspect of our self-concept; the part of our answer to “Who am I?” that comes from our group memberships.
131
Intimacy = in Erikson’s theory, the ability to form close, loving relationships; a primary developmental task in late adolescence and early adulthood.
132
Emerging Adulthood = for some people in modern cultures, a period from the late teens to mid-twenties, bridging the gap between adolescent dependence and full independence and responsible adulthood.
133
Menopause = the time of natural cessation of menstruation; also refers to the biological changes a woman experiences as her ability to reproduce declines.
134
Cross-sectional Study
= a study in which people of different ages are compared with one another.
135
Longitudinal Study = research in which the same people are restudied and retested over a long period.
136
Crystallized Intelligence
= our accumulated knowledge and verbal skills; tends to increase with age.
137
Fluid Intelligence = our ability to reason speedily and abstractly; tends to decrease during late adulthood.
138
Social Clock = the culturally preferred timing of social events such as marriage, parenthood, and retirement.
