Self-Schemas02:16

Self-Schemas

36.4K
In general, a schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Impact of Schemas01:30

Impact of Schemas

223
Schemas are cognitive structures that provide a framework for interpreting and organizing social information. They help individuals navigate complex environments by offering expectations about people, events, and behaviors. Schemas influence attention, encoding, and retrieval processes, thereby shaping the entire trajectory of information processing in social contexts.Attention and Cognitive LoadDuring initial attention, schemas function as filters that prioritize schema-consistent information,...

Introduction to Developmental Psychology01:27

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,...

Intrinsically Disordered Proteins02:18

Intrinsically Disordered Proteins

19.6K
Intrinsically disordered proteins are a group of proteins that do not fold into specific three-dimensional structures. Their structural flexibility allows them to complement ordered proteins to perform functions that are inaccessible to rigid structures. They are more common in eukaryotes than prokaryotes and may either be exclusively intrinsically disordered or hybrid proteins, consisting of a mix of ordered and disordered regions. The absence of a rigid structure in these proteins can be...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Embodied Cognition

Background:

  • The body schema integrates sensory input into a coherent bodily representation, crucial for self-identification.
  • Multisensory integration is key to developing a stable body schema.
  • Understanding the ontogeny of body schema and multisensory processing is vital for child development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the maturation of body schema and multisensory integration in children.
  • To discuss the implications of body schema functioning for socio-emotional competencies.
  • To explore the role of disrupted body schema in developmental disorders.

Main Methods:

  • Narrative overview of existing research.
  • Review of current findings on body schema maturation.
  • Analysis of multisensory integration development.

Main Results:

  • The body schema is fundamental for self-experience and bodily self-identification.
  • Maturation of body schema and multisensory integration is crucial for typical development.
  • Dysfunctional body schema may impair socio-emotional development.

Conclusions:

  • Disrupted body schema functioning can negatively affect socio-emotional competencies in children.
  • Further research is needed on the link between body schema, multisensory integration, and developmental disorders.
