Developmental psychologists study human growth and development across three

domains. Which of the following (cognitive, psychological, physical, and psychosocial) is not
one of these domains? The study of how we grow and change from conception to death.
How is the lifespandevelopment defined?

Developmental psychologists study human growth and development over the lifespan,
including physical, cognitive, social, intellectual, perceptual, personality and emotional
growth.
Developmental psychologists working in colleges and universities tend to focus primarily
on research or teaching. Others working in more applied settings like health care
facilities or clinics help to assess, evaluate and treat people living with developmental
disabilities. Developmental psychologists may also work in assisted living homes for the
elderly, hospitals, mental health clinics and centers for the homeless.
Genes can help explain why someone is gay or straight, religious or not, brainy or not, and even
whether they're likely to develop gum disease, one psychologist explains.

The nature vs. nurture debate within psychology is concerned with the extent to
which particular aspects of behavior are a product of either inherited (i.e.,
genetic) or acquired (i.e., learned) characteristics.
Nature is what we think of as pre-wiring and is influenced by genetic inheritance
and other biological factors. Nurture is generally taken as the influence of
external factors after conception, e.g., the product of exposure, experience and
learning on an individual.
1. Developmental psychologists study human growth and development across three
domains. What are they and why do we study them?
The three-domain growth and development are cognitive, social and physical. The
reason why we study them because psychologist working in colleges and universities
tend to focus primarily on research or teaching. Other psychologist they are more like
for health care facilities or clinic help to assess, evaluate and treat people living with
developmental disabilities. To identify whether the diseases are genetic or
environmental causes.
2. What were three interesting things you learned in the first video?
The interesting things I learned from watching the video on how genes can help explain
why someone is born to be musician or not, religious or not, smart in class or not, and
even whether they’re likely to develop they like to drink cold coffee.
3. Developmental Psychology really looks to answer one fundamental question, is how we
develop more nature or nurture. What does "nature vs nurture" mean and how can twin
studies help us to figure out more about which parts of us are developed mostly by
nature and which are mostly developed do to nurture? The nature vs. nurture debate
within psychology is concerned with the extent to which particular aspects of behavior are a
product of either inherited (i.e., genetic) or acquired (i.e., learned) characteristics.
