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,...

Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins

14.7K
Protein domains are small structurally independent units that are part of a single amino acid chain.  Although these domains are often structurally independent, they may rely on synergistic effects to perform their functions as part of a larger protein. Protein domains may be conserved within the same organism, as well as across different organisms.
A limited set of protein domains often duplicate and recombine during evolution. These domains can be organized in different combinations to...

Psychodynamic Perspectives on Personality

1.6K
The psychodynamic perspective in psychology asserts that most personality functions operate unconsciously, outside of awareness. This means that the motives and emotions driving behavior often remain hidden, automatically buried in the unconscious mind as a defense mechanism to shield us from psychological distress. According to this theory, the unconscious mind contains thoughts, memories, and emotions that are too disturbing to face directly.
Psychodynamic theorists argue that unconscious...

The Auditory Ossicles

3.2K
The auditory ossicles of the middle ear transmit sounds from the air as vibrations to the fluid-filled cochlea. The auditory ossicles consist of two malleus (hammer) bones, two incus (anvil) bones, and two stapes (stirrups), one on each side. These bones develop during the fetal stage and are the ones to ossify first. They are fully mature at birth and do not grow afterward.
The aptly named stapes look very much like a stirrup. The three ossicles are unique to mammals, and each plays a role in...

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...

Auditory Perception01:17

Auditory Perception

1.1K
The auditory system is essential for sound perception, utilizing various critical structures. When sound waves enter the outer ear, they travel through the ear canal and cause the eardrum to vibrate. These vibrations are then transmitted to the middle ear, where three tiny bones – the malleus, incus, and stapes – amplify the sound. This amplification is crucial, as it ensures that the sound vibrations are strong enough to be conveyed to the inner ear. These vibrations then reach the...

Area of Science:

  • Developmental psychology
  • Linguistics
  • Communication studies

Background:

  • Body movements like gestures and facial expressions develop alongside speech abilities.
  • Infants use caregiver mouth movements for speech segmentation, and babbling relates to hand movements.
  • Narrative skills and understanding pragmatic intentions involve both speech and gestures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review literature on the developmental interplay between speech prosody and body movements.
  • To clarify the role of prosody in multimodal communication development.
  • To investigate the relative importance and developmental timing of speech prosody and gestures.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing research.
  • Analysis of studies focusing on speech-gesture interaction in development.
  • Examination of the role of prosody in early communication.

Main Results:

  • Speech prosody is a crucial element in the speech-gesture relationship.
  • The precise contribution and developmental synchrony of prosody and gestures require further investigation.
  • Existing literature suggests a strong link between vocal and gestural development.

Conclusions:

  • Further research is needed to determine the relative weights and developmental trajectories of speech prosody and body gestures.
  • Understanding the interplay is vital for a comprehensive theory of multimodal language acquisition.
  • This review highlights key questions regarding the emergence of coordinated communication.
