Slide 1: Life-Span Perspective

Continuity: looks an continuity over lifespan- looks
at continuous change throughout life
◦ Multidirectional
◦ Multi-disciplanary: looks at development in many
different areas— there are interaction among them

Longitudinal Desgin:
◦ Dis: take a long time
◦ Adv: compare the same individual among are
groups, no group difference
Cross-Sectional Design
Sequential Design
◦ Dis: i
Non-experimental Designs
◦ Correlation
◦ Naturalistc: people are not going to change
behavior because being watched
◦ Participant Obsercation
 Matrualitional Theory: genes determine how we will
develop
Ethogical Theory: there is lots of stuff built in the
brain —leads to instinctual behaviors

enivonent— need for a nature/nurture environment

face at each stage

Slide 3: Theories
Learning Perspective
◦ Empericism / Behaviorism: every we do is some sot
of conditional response

things we do is due to reinforcement in the past\
◦ Bandural and Social/Imitation Learning
◦ Cognitive Perspective
◦ Assimilate,
◦ Accomidation,
