The Nativist Approach

The Nativist Approach

The nativist approach to infant cognitive development proposes that infants are born with inherent knowledge structures that allow them to interpret the world almost immediately. This perspective contrasts with earlier developmental theories, such as those proposed by Jean Piaget, which emphasized a more gradual acquisition of cognitive abilities through interaction with the environment. One key concept in this approach is object permanence — the understanding that objects continue to exist...

Case Studies

Case Studies

There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.

Longitudinal Research

Longitudinal Research

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Ethics in Research

Ethics in Research

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Population Growth

Population Growth

Population size is dynamic, increasing with birth rates and immigration, and decreasing with death rates and emigration. In ideal conditions with unlimited resources, populations can increase exponentially, which plots as a J-shaped growth rate curve of population size against time. This type of curve is characteristic of newly-introduced invasive species, or populations that have suffered catastrophic declines and are rebounding.

Archival Research

Archival Research

Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Area of Science:

Health Disparities
Research Training
Indigenous Health

Background:

American Indian/Alaska Natives (AI/AN) are underrepresented in U.S. science and health doctorates (<1%).
Targeted research training is crucial for developing AI/AN researchers to serve their communities.
A multidisciplinary team was established to address this gap.

Purpose of the Study:

To establish and grow a research cohort for American Indian students, staff, and faculty.
To provide support and educational opportunities for aspiring AI/AN researchers.
To foster ethical research within Native communities.

Main Methods:

Formation of a multidisciplinary research team with AI/AN students, staff, and faculty.
Implementation of weekly team meetings and online resource sharing (Blackboard).
Inclusion of a weekly journal club and collaborative project discussions.

Main Results:

Program enrollment increased from one student to over 20 AI students.
The team encompasses students from freshmen to doctoral levels.
The team addresses critical issues including substance use and mental health in Native communities.

Conclusions:

The program demonstrates successful growth and structure in developing an AI/AN research cohort.
It highlights the importance of ongoing support and education for AI/AN students in research.
The team is committed to ethical, community-focused research on substance use and mental health.
