Explain two of the five subconcepts of death, in your own words. When do children actively seek to make sense of death?

) Denial: refusing to accept the death. 2) Anger: resentment about death, and the unfairness of death. 3) striking bargains with doctors, nurses, family member, friends or God for extra time. 4) Depression: realization of the inevitability of death among the impending loss of one's life 5) Acceptance: patient reaches a state of peace usually in the last few days and disengages from all but a few family members, friends and caregivers.

Nutrition:

- 25-30 pounds weight gain to ensure health of mother and baby. -The poorer the mothers nutrition the worse the babys' health is.

In addition to gains in muscle size and strength, sedentary older adults who engage in regular, moderate-to-vigorous exercise, gain in:

- executive function and memory

The structure of temperament:

-Easy child: 40% of sample, quickly establishes regular routines in infancy, is generally cheerful, and adapts easily to new experiences. -Difficult child: 10% of sample, is irregular in daily routines, is slow to accept new experiences and tends to react negatively and intensely. -Slow to warm up child: 15% of sample, is inactive, shows mild, low-key reactions to environmental stimuli, is negative in mood and adjusts slowly to new experiences.

child maltreatment

-Physical abuse: assaults such as kicking, biting, shaking, punching or stabbing. -sexual abuse: fondling, intercourse, exhibitionism, commercial exploitation through prostitution or production of pornography and other forms of sexual exploitation. -neglect: failure to meet a child's basic needs for food, clothing, medical attention, education or supervision. -emotional abuse: acts that could cause serious emotional harm, including social isolation, repeated unreasonable demands, ridicule, humiliation, intimidation or terrorizing.

Symptoms of ADHD

-attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): which involves inattention, impulsivity, and excessive motor activity resulting in academic and social problems. -mindfulness training: similar to meditation and yoga based exercises for adults encourages children to focus attention on their current thoughts, feelings, and sensations without judging them.

Identity development

-breath: weighing multiple possibilities and making commitments -depth: evaluating existing commitments.

Prevention and treatment for drug abuse:

-promote effective parenting including monitoring of teenage activities. -teach skills for resisting peer pressure. -reduce the social acceptability of drug taking by emphasizing health and safety risks.

Four factors:

1) Central nervous system development 2) The body's movement capacities. 3) The goals the child has in mind 4) Environmental supports for the skill. Change in any element makes the system less stable and the child starts to explore and select new, more effective motor patterns.

Kubler-ross theory

1) Denial: refusing to accept the diagnosis and avoiding discussions with doctors and family members as a means of escaping form the prospect of death 2) Anger: resentment and fury that time is short, that goals may be left unattained and the unfairness of death. 3) Bargaining: striking bargains with doctors, nurses, family members , friends or God for extra time. 4) Depression: with realization of the inevitability of death despondency among the impending loss of one's life 5) Acceptance: the weakened patient reaches a state of peace usually in the last few days and disengages from all but a few family members, friends and caregivers.

Factors of maturing:

1) How closely the adolescents body matches cultural ideals of physical attractiveness 2) How well young people fit in physically with their peers.

Stress management:

1) Problem-centered coping: appraised the situation as changeable, identified the difficulty and decided what to do about it. 2) Emotion-centered coping: internal, private, and aimed at controlling distressed when little can be done about a situation. -best to have flexibility between problem-centered and emotion centered techniques.

adolescent Decision making

1) Recognizing the range of possible options 2) Identifying pros and cons of each alternative 3) Assessing the likelihood of various outcomes 4) Evaluating ones choice in terms of whether ones goals were met and if not. 5) Learning from the mistake and making a better future decision.

Aging of dna and body cells:

1) Those that emphasize the programmed effects of specific genes 2) Those that emphasize the cumulative effects of random events that damage genetic and cellular material. Support for both views exists and a combination may eventually prove to be correct.

Multidirectional

1) not limited to improved performance. 2)over time, within each domain of development.

Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales

2-adulthood. Five intellectual factors: general knowledge, quantitative reasoning, visual-spatial processing, working memory and basic info processing.

1)PHYSICAL AGGRESSION: HARMS OTHERS THROUGH PHYSICAL INJURY-PUSHING, HITTING, KICKING OR PUNCHING OTHERS, OR DESTROYING others property. 2)Verbal aggression: harms others through threats of physical aggression, name-calling or hostile teasing. 3)Relational aggression: damages another's peer relationships through social exclusion, malicious gossip or friendship manipulation.

Development of death concept

1. Nonfunctionality: all living functions, including thought feeling, movement and bodily processes cease at death. 2. Finality: once a living thing dies it can't be brought back to life. 3. Universality: all living things eventually die. 4. Applicability: death applies only to living things 5. Causation: death is cause by a breakdown of bodily functioning which can be brought about by a wide variety of internal and external causes. Nonfuctionality and finality are generally understood early even among children with little exposure ot death. Appreciation of universality soon follows.

Bobo doll experiment. emphasizes modeling also known as imitation/observational learning as a powerful source of development.

spermarche/ first ejaculation

around 13 ½. For a while the semen contains few living sperm. Boys have an initial period of reduced fertility.

babbling

around 6 months, infant repeat consonant-vowel combinations

Blastocyst

By the fourth day it forms a hollow, fluid-filled ball, called a blastocyst. The inner cells, called embryonic disk, will become the new organism. The outer cells, or trophoblast will provide protective covering.

self-recognition

around age 2 identification of the self as a physically unique being-is well under way.

List everyday experiences that support mastery of reaching, grasping, sitting, and/or crawling. Why should caregivers place babies in a variety of body positions?

Caregivers should place babies in a variety of body positions because reaching, grasping and sitting are apart of every day life. People need to grasp a pencil. Sit in class and reach for their notes in their backpack. It's crucial for functioning in society.

Stage 1 pl

The punishment and obedience orientation. Children find it difficult to consider two points of view in a moral dilemma. Overlook people's intentions and focus on fear of authority and avoidance of punishment as reasons for behaving badly.

Denise is weeks away from going into labor. She doesn't know what to expect. Could you ease her mind by telling her the natural three stages of childbirth?

Dilation and effacement of the cervix, delivery of the baby, delivery of the placenta.

a teratogen causes limb malformations. During which stage of prenatal develop was it most likely introduced?

Embryonic (limbs)

Estelle complained hat she had recently forgotten two of her regular biweekly hair appointments and sometimes had trouble finding the right words to convey her thoughts. What cognitive changes account for Estelle's difficulties? What can she do to compensate?

Episodic memory is more difficult to help her retrieve daily experiences. Also, her explicit memory is struggling. Her prospective memory is also declining which makes it hard to remember futuristic events. I think having memory aids is a good way to help her memory. A calendar with all her events on it. She can also have someone call and remind her.

Erickson's theory: identity versus role confusion:

Erickson called the psychological conflict of adolescence. He believed that successful psychosocial outcomes of infancy and childhood pave the way toward a positive resolution. If young people's earlier conflicts were resolved negatively or if society limits their choices to ones that don't match their abilities and desires and desires, they're likely to appear shallow, directionless and unprepared for the challenges of adulthood.

scientific verification

Every theory must be tested using a fair set of research procedures agreed on by the scientific community, and the findings must endure, or be replicated, over time

history-graded influences

Explain why people born around the same time--called a cohort--tend to be alike in ways that set them apart from people born at other times.

What's the difference between explicit memory and implicit memory. Give an example of a typical task for each.

Explicit memory tasks which require controlled strategic processing. An example would be practicing driving better. Implicit memory is a memory without conscious awareness. Understanding things like remembering people's names.

What role does a fathers' involvement play in a child's development? What factors promote fathers' involvement?

Fathers are a big part in helping later cognitive, emotional and social competence. Their co-parenting helps the child's development. Relationship with spouse and child are critical for a good home environment. When wife and father get along the fathers involvement is more frequent.

Albie enters university to study art. His mother artist and encouraged him. He hasn't considered anything else.

Foreclosure.

Explain in your own words Erikson's psychological conflict of midlife. What are specific elements of generativity? Stagnation?

Generativity is more related to reaching out to others. You are more willing to step out of your comfort help to serve and give back to the community. Stagnation is being stuck where you're at. You stick to what you know best.

researchers Tony 9month can tell difference between 2 stimuli. Measure how long looks at it.

Habitual (how can we tell kids have learned)

a social world in which people are sorted into groups

He more adults highlight group distinctions and the less interracial contact children experience the more likely white children will express in-group favoritism and out-group prejudice.

As a researcher gathers observations of the activities of several older adults with cognitive impairments in a nursing home one resident says, "Stop watching me!". How should the researcher respond?

He should respect the wishes of the person and acknowledge that this resident has withdrawn consent.

Ramon is certain that, if he every became terminally ill, he would want doctors to halt life-saving treatment. To best ensure that his wish will be granted, what should Ramon do?

He should write it on his living will. This will ensure that that his wishes are granted.

secondary sexual characteristics

are visible on the outside of the body and serve as additional signs of sexual maturity (for example breast development in the females and the appearance of underarm and pubic hair in both sexes)

Carolyn completed one year of college in her twenties. Now, at age 42, she has returned to earn a degree. Plan a set of experiences for Carolyn's first semester that will increase her chances of success.

Her ability to use memory strategies will help her performance. Also, practice problem solving and expertise. They also would benefit from continuing to be creative.

As the obesity rate continues to climb in the U.S., recently reaching 38 percent, your friend Jonas wants to know the causes of obesity and the treatment available to him. Provide at least two causes and two treatments.

Heredity makes some people more vulnerable to obesity than others. Environmental pressures can also be included. There are more sugar and fat being consumed. Some treatment ideas are to have a lifestyle change to a nutritious died lower in calories plus regular exercise. It also helps if training participants keep an accurate record of food intake and body weight. Social support is a big help. As well as teaching problem-solving skills and including extended intervention.

Carriers of the trait when

Heretozygous individuals with just one recessive allele (Db) can pass that trait to their children.

Celcila was successfully treated for PKU as an infant. Dominant and recessive genes gene make up?

Homozygous (2 recessive genes for disorder)

A researcher compares older adults with chronic heart disease to those with no major health problems and finds that the first group scores lower on mental tests. Can the researcher conclude that heart disease causes a decline in intellectual functioning? Why or why not?

I don't think that the researcher can draw that conclusion. More often then not mental ability varies among older adults as it's. I don't think their intellect and their mental health correlate enough to draw that conclusion. I think this researcher would need to make sure to do this study with many older adults to see if this result could be found again. Also if the researcher hasn't taken it to the scientific community they can't really draw that conclusion. There simply doesn't seem to be adequate evidence.

Do you think that intelligence tests are culturally biased? What observations and evidence influenced your conclusions?

I think intelligent tests can be an issue in some areas. To avoid this culturally biased test its good to use a dynamic assessment. The observation that helped my decision is the book talks a little about it. Plus I have always been a poor test taker but that doesn't mean that I don't understand the material.

Do you think that the expression "the terrible twos" is accurate? What are ways you can help toddlers develop compliance and self-control? Use examples from the textbook.

I think many people experience defiance at some period between 2-3. I think you can help compliance and self-control be developed by teaching the child the boundaries. A lot of this is developed by being sensitive and encouraging. It also helps to provide advanced notice when the toddler must stop an enjoyable activity. Many prompts and reminders help. Respond to self-controlled behavior with verbal and physical approval. Encourage selective and sustained attention. Supporting language development. As well as gradually increasing rules in a manner consistent with toddlers capacities.

Teaching both men and women to take precautions that lower the risk of sexual assault is one way to prevent sexual coercion. Why do you think this is important? Name two other suggestions you find important in preventing sexual coercion.

I think teaching men and women to be careful about alcohol consumption and drug use would people be more aware of upcoming coercion. So they don't get themselves in a bad situation. Not being alone with someone of the opposite sex in a nonpublic place would be a good idea. As well as having friends who are there to help you not be apart of coercion.

Your niece, Ava, asks you where grandma went. Applying what you know from the text, what would you say to Ava to discuss concerns she has about death?

I would address her concerns about death and talk about the matter with her. Depending on spiritual views that can also apply in this scenario. Depending on age would determine what we would discuss. The following things are all possible in the discussion. 1. Nonfunctionality: all living functions, including thought feeling, movement and bodily processes cease at death. 2. Finality: once a living thing dies it can't be brought back to life. 3. Universality: all living things eventually die. 4. Applicability: death applies only to living things 5. Causation: death is cause by a breakdown of bodily functioning which can be brought about by a wide variety of internal and external causes.

IQs have increased steadily from one generation to the next.

Dylan says my family has always Mormon, I'm LDS. I follow commandments cuz that's what they expect. Which identity status?

Identity foreclosure.

Sam lives alone in the same home he has occupied for over 30 years. His adult children cannot understand why he won't move across town to a modern apartment. Using continuity theory, explain why Sam prefers to stay where he is.

If he is allowed to age in place then he might feel like he has more control over his life. If things are allowed to stay the same when he is losing a lot of his abilities then aging becomes less scary. There is enough predictability in his life to feel comfortable.

Homozygous

If the alleles from both parents are alike the child is homozygous, and relationships between the alleles influence the phenotype.

Penny is a long-distance runner for her college track team. What factors will affect Penny's running performance 30 years from now?

If they are constantly exercising their body adjusts to that. Since she is running the performance drop-off can be delayed. Her vital capacity will be one-third greater than her inactive agemates. Her B cells aren't as good so her immune system will struggle. The withering of the thymus effects her ability to ward off illness.

Quentin and Alani are a dual-earner couple. Provide them with at least two strategies they can use to combine work and family responsibilities.

If they do an egalitarian partnership then they can both balance helping in the home. They could do a clear division of roles between wife and husband but that would be much more stressful on the wife.

Pick one of the learning capacities: classical conditioning, operant conditioning, habituation, or imitation. Define the learning capacity you chose. What are the conditions under which it would occur? What is its unique value?

Imitation is where a child learns to do something by watching someone else do it. For example the bobo doll. The children learned to kick it from watching the adult kick it. The unique value it has is children can learn lots of different skills by observing.

joint attention

In which the child attends to the same object or event as the caregiver. Who often labels it, contributes greatly to early language development.

stability

Individuals high or low in a characteristic remain so at later ages. Early experience may have a lifelong impact.

Exosystem

Influences you without driect interacton. Example daddy group.

Arthur seems to react to strangers in the same manner as his parents. He is slow to greet his parents during a reunion and often fails to cling when picked up. Arthur is displaying what attachment style?

Diabetes

Insulin produced by pancreas keeps the blood concentration of glucose within set limits by stimulating muscle and fat cells to absorb it. Type 2 diabetes.

Cory wants to get his infant tested. Explain to Cory the difference between an intelligence quotient and developmental quotient. What extent do these scores predict later performance?

Intelligent quotient indicates the extent to which the raw score compares to the typical performance of same-age children. This is a much more reliable test for future prediction of performance. Development quotients are more casually labeled because infants don't have the same kind of assessment as older children. This kind of development test can't predict if children will do well in school.

religious activity

Involvement in both organized and informal religious activities is especially high among low-SES ethnic minority older people including African American, Hispanic and Native American groups.not religious belief or membership in a congregation-was associated with declines in distress following negative life events such as loss of a spouse or a life-threatening illness.

Your friend, Zac, is feeling grief for the loss of a close family member. Provide him with three suggestions for resolving the grief.

It depends on his religious affiliations. Mainly the suggestion I would give is to encourage him to have grief. Keeping it hidden away isn't healthy. Sometimes if the grief is serious enough he might need to see a psychologist.

Russell, a first-time father, finds it fascinating that when he holds infant, Rose, under her arms and allows her feet to touch the ground she tries to walk by moving her feet up and down. What could you tell Russell about this reflex?

It is a normal reflex called stepping, that prepares the infant for voluntary walking.

Links between family and community foster development throughout the lifespan. Provide examples from the text that support this idea.

It's important the family has a support system. In better neighborhoods and communities there is less crime, violence and abuse. The type of area you live in effects how a child will grow up in this life. Better neighborhoods provide better influences. If your family is in a rough place they will be okay living in a rough community.

Parent-child relationships

Kept in their room more and resisted spending time with family, and becae more argumentative.

Why is adjustment to late-life divorce usually more difficult for women and adjustment to widowhood more difficult for men? Explain your reasoning using the textbook.

Late-life divorce is usually more difficult for women because they are usually not financially dependent on themselves. The skills they need to have jobs are often lacking because of the lack of job training. Widdowhood is harder for men because they aren't used to doing household chores and cooking for themselves.

Anopolgy-ethnography

Like clinical method, ethnographic research is a descriptive, qualitative technique. Directed toward understanding a culture or a distinct social group through participant observation.

According to the model of the human information-processing system, information flows through three parts of the mental system: the sensory register, the short-term memory store, and the long-term memory store. Choose one of the parts. Explain what memory is represented and how it works with the central executive.

Long term memory helps with our permanent knowledge base. It plays apart in central executive because it's in the functioning of helping with facilitating memories. These two systems go together to maintain memory.

Kelly recently became pregnant and is wondering what she can do to have a healthy pregnancy. Provide her with healthy suggestions of things she can do. Select all that apply.

Make sure to get vaccinated, since most vaccinations are safe during pregnancy. Eat a well-balanced diet. Keep physically fit and where possible join an exercise class for expectant mothers. See a doctor and continue to receive regular medical checkups.

Culture and individual variations

Mexican-Americans: emphasized the importance of informative forthright discussions about death from early age and access to media depiction. -adolescent: understand death. Encouraging talk about this helps them bridge the gap of what's happening. -adulthood: brush thoughts of death aside This can help death anxiety.

Not menstruating for a year.

clear-cut attachment phase (6-8m to 18months- 2 years)

Now attachment to familiar caregiver is evident.

Supervisors sometimes assign more routine tasks to older workers, believing that they no longer handle complex assignments. Cite evidence from this and the previous chapter indicating that this assumption is incorrect.

Older workers aren't necessarily less competent. What they have found is middle-aged adults see themselves as more competent to achieve complex tasks since they understand the tools to learn. Which helps them to have greater confidence in their ability to achieve hard tasks. This age of workers is among the most dependable.

Matteas knows science fair 2nd place is better than 3rd place. This is a concept of:

Ordinality (order) bigger and smaller, taller and shorter.

Cite at least three factors that contribute to high rates of divorce and remarriage.

Partners being very different in SES, education, religion, age. Marry before the mid-20s. If they have a baby within the first year of marriage. Relationships with extended family are negative and they wish to maintain distance. Marital patterns in extended family are unstable; frequent separations and divorces. financial and employment status is insecure. Family responsibility is largely the woman's perception of unfairness. Personality characteristics and behavior is emotionally negative and impulsive; lack of common interests; poor conflict-resolution skills.

Pick two of the following factors that influence vocational choice: personality, family influences, teachers, and gender stereotypes. Explain how each affects vocational choice.

Personality effects vocational choice because who you are can lead you into what you're interested in. If someone likes investigation and testing they would be likely to go into science. Your family can pressure you to do a certain career path. Teachers can influence you to feel a certain path is better for you. The gender stereotypes can define what's acceptable for you specifically according to social roles.

Exercise reduces

Physical exercise reduces anxiety, depression, improvs mood, alertness and energy. Also helps cognitive functioning. Can help bring a positive outlook.

Dr. small, one year olds vocab is expanding. Seems like each day her son learns a new word. Consistent with--perspective of develop?

Quantitative (continuous)

Choose one of the following memory strategies: rehearsal, organization, or elaboration. State the definition in your own words. Give an example how the memory strategy improves storing and retaining information.

Rehearsal is repeating info to themselves. This pattern allows them to recall the item in their head again. The more they think about it the easier to retain the memory. The more items they try to rehearse the more they use the space in their brain. The organization strategy is grouping related items together. Elaboration is creating a relationship or shared meaning between two or more pieces that belong to the same category.

Prevent cancer by

Schedule regular medical checkups, Avoid tobacco and limit alcohol consumption, Avoid sun exposure, Maintain a healthy diet, Avoided excessive weight gain, Adopt a physically active lifestyle.

Cassie tries to cross road without looking, her mother yells her to stop. Mom explained why.

Self-oriented induction. Explaining how she could've got hurt.

What can we learn about aging from centenarians? Explain two things that surprised you about living to be 100+ or about the life of Jeanne Louise Calment as described in the Biology and Environment box on pages 572-573.

She reminded me that there is something that isn't worth worrying about. She took up fencing when she was 85 and was biking till 100. Which is incredible body movement for her age. I think aging is very individualized and not everyone's experience is the same. Some people have diseases that don't allow them to get to this age.

Raylene and her brother Walter live in the same city as their aging mother, Elsie. When Elsie could no longer live independently Raylene took primary responsibility for her care. What factors probably contributed to Raylene's involvement in caregiving and Walter's lesser role?

Since Raylene took responsibility for her care then she will be dealing with more of the day to day of their aging mother. Walter probably works and so he might come and help once in a while. Depending on if he has a family that could contribute to it as well.

Gilbert's genetic makeup is homozygous for dark hair. Jan's is homozygous for blonde hair. What proportion of their children are likely to be dark-haired? Will they be homozygous or heterozygous? Why?

Since the allele for dark hair is dominant Gilbert's hair color is more likely to show up. It will be heretozygous because their parents have different colors of hair they can pass on. Though the dark hair will still be dominant.

Travis tells you that his wife is pregnant. He explains that she is continuing her lifestyle of smoking once a week and drinking a very small glass of wine each night. His wife doesn't think it is harmful and he is unsure about the effects. Provide Travis with research-based reasons for not smoking or drinking.

Smoking or drinking would damage the babies development. The baby could have fetal alcohol syndrome, partial fetal alcohol syndrome, or alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder. Tobacco can hurt the blood vessels, blood flow to the uterus, and causes the placenta to grow abnormally.

Vygotsky

Social Development Theory

Explain how each of the following concepts supports the conclusion that genetic influences on human characteristics are not constant but change over time: somatic mutation, niche-picking, and epigenesis.

Somatic, mutation, niche-picking and epigenesis explain that things change over time because they are resulting from something. Epigenious for example has to do with the environment. Niche-picking is actively choosing environments. Mutation is something that gets changed in the genes over time. So all of these take time and experience before any changes occur. These are great examples of change in our bodies.

What strengths and limitations do the clinical or case study method and ethnography have in common?

Some of the limitations they have is since they are viewing people as a group that can be tricky. Since you measure change best in the individual. It can be challenging if they have not grown up in the same time period because what they experience is likely to be different. The strength it could have is they can study lots of different people. That way they can look at a variety of people.

Jack and Sally are considering retirement. Provide research-based advice about the steps they might take to promote favorable retirement adjustment.

Somethings that are suggested is taking a bridge job where they can adjust financially and time difference as they switch jobs. It's important they adjust their priorities. There are somethings they may not be able to afford anymore. They should consider if they have adequate retirement benefits, compelling leisure interests or family pursuits, low work commitment, declining health, spouse retiring, and routine boring job. They should continue working if there is limited or no retirement benefits, good health, flexible job demands and work schedule, and pleasant stimulating work environment

Which of the following would someone with generative priorities do?

Spend time teaching a grandchild how to knit

Dependent variable

Nine-year old Allison thinks she isn't good at sports, and she doesn't like physical education class. Suggest strategies her teacher can use to improve her pleasure and involvement in physical activity.

The teacher can work with Allisions physical abilities. The main thing the teachers can keep in mind is being a partner to the child and helping them understand the rules of different physical activities. As well as helping them come to terms with why these activities are good for them. Doing physical activities within a level of her capabilities will help.

Stage 6 pc

The universal ethical principle orientation: at this highest stage right action is defined by self-chosen ethical principles of conscience that are valid for all people. Regardless of law and social agreement. Respect for worth and dignity of each person.

A variety of interventions exist to improve the peer relations and psychological adjustment of rejected children. Using the textbook, what approach do you think is best to help rejected children? How would you help rejected-aggressive children? Rejected-withdrawn children? Answer each question with at least one sentence.

The way you can help rejected children is coaching them, model, and reinforce positive social skills such as how to initiate interactions with a peer, cooperate in play and respond to another child with friendly emotion and approval. With rejected aggressive children and rejected withdrawn children they need help taking responsibility for their peer difficulties and understanding that they can change internally. The goal is to help them to gain social skills and encourage their peers to alter their negative opinions.

How does evidence on adolescent decision making help us understand teenagers' risk taking in sexual activity and drug use?

Their decision making part of the brain is still developing. So this is why it's so important to direct teenagers in their sexual and drug use. Helping them develop propositional thought and logical necessity it really important. So they understand why this is important in their lives. 1) Recognizing the range of possible options 2) Identifying the pros and cons of each alternative 3) Assessing the likelihood of various outcomes 4) Evaluating one's choice in terms of whether one's goals were met and if not. 5) Learning from the mistake and making a better future decision.

Marilyn and Wayne just gave birth to a 3-pound baby seven weeks preterm. They are happily married and have a good income. After reading about interventions for preterm infants, what advice would you give them?

There are people who can train parents in infant caregiving skills. I think this would be a great idea for them to participate in.

Theresa and Grace both have a baby on the same day. Theresa's baby is a preterm infant while Grace's baby is a small-for-date infant. What is different about these babies?

Theresa's baby, although small and born early, still has appropriate weight. Grace's baby is below the expected weight considering the length of the pregnancy.

Austin and Marissa are in the midst of an acrimonious divorce. Their 9-year-old son Chase has become hostile and defiant. How can Austin and Marissa help Chase adjust?

They can take their son to a counselor to help him cope with the change. Austin and Marissa can go to divorce mediation services. As well as allowing joint custody to help them both figure out a fixed schedule. Make sure child support is being paid to ease stress from the family.

Alice and Wayne want their two children to become morally mature, caring individuals. List some parenting practices they should use and some they should avoid.

They should model good behavior. They should avoid physical aggression, verbal aggression and relational aggression. They should be warm and responsive. They need to be consistent. Authoritative parenting is the best way to help their children.

Asked about hiring middle-aged sales personnel, a department store manage replied, "They're my best employees!" Why does this manager find older employees desirable, despite age-related declines in processing speed and executive function?

They're reliable and they know how to talk to people. They are settled in life and don't have some of the young craziness anymore. Even though speed and executive function may be declining they are experienced and can still perform well. They are hardy.

Pick one of the three periods of prenatal development. Describe the major milestones in development and physical structures involved.

Third trimester: The fetus has increased in size. Lungs and brain capacity increased. Their sensory and behavioral abilities expand. The mother gives the baby the ability to avoid disease. The fetus rotates into an upside-down position in preparation for birth.

What is authoritative child rearing? What makes it effective? Give specific examples from the textbook.

This style of parenting includes high acceptance and involvement. There is appropriate autonomy granting. It's helpful to be warm and sensitive to the child. The result in doing this is the child can become upbeat, have more self control and be task persistent.

At age 85, Miriam took a long time to get dressed. Joan, her home helper, said, "From now on, don't get dressed until I get there. Then I can help, and it won't take so long." What impact is Joan's approach likely to have on Miriam's personality? What alternative approach would you recommend?

This will have a negative effect on Miriam's personality. I would suggest letting her take her time to get dressed because that's probably one of the few things she can still do. If she can have autonomy it would be better for her self-esteem. If she has these things she will age better. • Optimism and sense of self-efficacy in improving health and physical functioning. • Selective optimization with compensation to make the most of limited physical energies and cognitive resources • Strengthening of self-concept which promotes self-acceptance and pursuit of hoped-for possible selves. • Enhanced emotional self-regulation and emotional positivity, which support meaningful, rewarding social ties • Acceptance of change which contributes to effective coping and life satisfaction • A mature sense of spirituality and faith, permitting anticipation of death with calm composure. • Personal control over domains of dependency and independence, enabling investment in self-chosen, highly valued activities • High-quality relationships which offer pleasurable companionship and social support. • Personally, meaningful leisure and volunteer pursuits which contribute to physical, cognitive and social wellbeing.

Your friend, Lexi, has a child who just reached adolescence. She is nervous to talk to her child about sexual education. What advice would you give her? What should sex education include? How does this help prevent adolescent pregnancy?

To teach techniques for handling sexual situations including refusal skills for avoiding risky sexual behaviors and communication skills for improving contraceptive use through role-playing and other activities in which young people practice those behaviors. They can take birth control if they really need to. This helps them because it teaches them what they might encounter. Knowing what to do to prevent it will help her teenager be careful and smart with what she does.

Provide examples of how motor development influences infants' and toddlers' social experiences. How do social experiences, in turn, influence motor development?

What is available to the child when they are toddlers helps their motor skills. Social experiences can help them want to crawl, stand, reach or grab. These positive experiences help the child grow.

Chester is an at-risk toddler, living in persistent poverty, in a stressful home environment. What early interventions are there for him? How would they benefit him?

What would help this child is to review the developmentally appropriate practice and see where the young child needs to be according to research. A home observation for measurement of the environment would help the people know the quality of the child's home.

Then a score ranging from high to low in security is computed.

How are educational practices that prevent school dropout similar to those that improve learning for adolescents in general?

supplementary academic instruction and counseling that offer personalized attention. Most potential dropouts need intensive remedial instruction in small classes that permit warm, caring teacher-student relationships to form.

For many marginal students, the real-life nature of vocational education is more comfortable and effective than purely academic work. Vocational education must be carefully integrated into academic and job-related instruction. -efforts to address the many factors in students' lives related to leaving school early. Programs that strengthen parent involvement. Offer flexible work-study. -participation in extracurricular activities. Another way of helping marginal students is to draw them into community life of the school.
