Introduction to Developmental Psychology

1.7K
Developmental psychology explores the changes and continuities in human abilities throughout life, encompassing physical, cognitive, linguistic, and social dimensions. Human development is not restricted to growth, but includes aspects of decline, particularly in physical abilities as individuals age. Developmental psychologists seek to understand how people change as they age and how their mental and social skills evolve.Developmental MilestonesA key concept in developmental psychology is...

Three Developmental Domains01:29

Three Developmental Domains

1.2K
Human development is typically examined across three main domains: physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional. These domains represent the significant areas of change and continuity throughout the lifespan, from infancy to late adulthood.
Physical Development
Physical processes, also known as maturation, encompass the biological changes that occur across an individual's life. These changes begin with genetic inheritance and continue through various stages, including growth in height and weight,...

Cancers Originate from Somatic Mutations in a Single Cell

15.0K
Cancer arises from mutations in the critical genes that allow healthy cells to escape cell cycle regulation and acquire the ability to proliferate indefinitely. Though originating from a single mutation event in one of the originator cells, cancer progresses when the mutant cell lines continue to gain more and more mutations, and finally, become malignant. For example, chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) develops initially as a non-lethal increase in white blood cells, which progressively...

Lampbrush Chromosomes01:51

Lampbrush Chromosomes

8.7K
In 1882, Flemming observed lampbrush chromosomes (LBC) in salamander eggs. Later in 1892, Rückert observed LBCs in shark egg cells and coined the term "lampbrush chromosomes" because they looked like brushes used to clean kerosene lamps.
LBCs are made up of two pairs of conjugating homologous chromatids. Each chromatid consists of alternatively positioned regions of condensed-inactive chromatin and loosely placed-active side loops, which can be contracted and extended. The loops...

Chromosome Replication02:31

Chromosome Replication

10.8K
Before a cell can divide, it must accurately replicate all of its chromosomes, including the DNA and its associated histone and non-histone proteins.  This process begins at numerous origins of replication during the S phase of the cell cycle in each of a cell’s chromosomes simultaneously. Certain nucleotides can act as origins of replication, but these sequences are not well defined - especially in complex, multi-cellular, eukaryotic species. The length of DNA that spans an origin...

Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Developmental Science

Background:

  • Dehumanization is a complex social phenomenon linked to intergroup harm and neglect.
  • Developmental research on dehumanization is a recent and emerging field.
  • Understanding the development of dehumanization is crucial for addressing intergroup conflict.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing research related to the development of dehumanization in children.
  • To highlight recent studies directly investigating the development of dehumanization.
  • To propose future research directions for a comprehensive understanding of this social bias.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of research on children's intergroup preferences.
  • Review of studies on essentialist conceptions of social groups.
  • Analysis of research on children's understanding of relative status.
  • Examination of recent direct investigations into the development of dehumanization.

Main Results:

  • Research on children's intergroup preferences, essentialism, and status understanding provides indirect insights into dehumanization.
  • Direct empirical investigations into the development of dehumanization are limited but growing.
  • Existing research suggests early precursors to dehumanizing biases may exist in childhood.

Conclusions:

  • The development of dehumanization is influenced by early social cognitive processes.
  • More direct research is needed to fully understand how children develop dehumanizing biases.
  • Future research should focus on the nature, causes, and developmental trajectory of dehumanization.
