The Social & Historical Context of Child Development
1. Understanding conceptions of the Life-span
2. The status of the child in current society3. The status of the child in the middle ages –
differences based on social class4. The mid-1800s – social change5. Changes in Laws
ISSUES OF DEVELOPMENT

Heredity vs. Environment1. This is the issue of which contributes to
development – nature or nurture?2. Nature: biology, genetics3. Nurture: experience, learning,
interactions with specific environments4. Learning vs. maturation5. The concept of the Reaction Range

Continuity vs. Discontinuity
1. Stage-like development vs. non-stage development
2. Stage theories & non-stage theories

1. Normative – age graded2. Normative – history graded3. Non-normative
What is a cohort?
PATTERNS OF DEVELOPMENT
![Page 7: Welcome Back!. CHAPTER 1 : THE SCIENCE OF CHILD DEVELOPMENT Issues of Development Patterns of Development Developmental Research Ethical Considerations](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022072010/56649dbd5503460f94aaf623/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
General research designs:
1. Experimental research: The goal is to establish cause & effect between the IV and the DV.
Independent variable Dependent variable Control group Experimental group
DEVELOPMENTAL RESEARCH

2. Correlational research: The goal is to establish a relationship between the variables, X and Y.
Direction of the relationship Strength of the relationship
Types of correlations:a) Negative correlationb) Positive correlationc) Zero correlation

CROSS-SECTIONAL VS. LONGITUDINAL DESIGNS
What is the IV in C-S research?
What is the IV in Longitudinal research?
Testing subjects of various age groups at one time.
Advantages: Inexpensive & quick
Disadvantage:Cohort effects
Testing one age (or age group) of subjects multiple times, over a period of weeks, months, years.
Advantage: Eliminates cohort effects
Disadvantages:Attrition, practice effects,
expensive & long-term

Children cannot give consent by signing a written informed consent form which they’ve read and understood.
Consent must be obtained from parents/ guardians. A verbal assent must be obtained from the children that they in fact want to participate in the research after the study has been explained to them in a language they can understand.
ETHICS – Special considerations for children
