Theoretical Approaches to Psychological Disorder01:29

Theoretical Approaches to Psychological Disorder

1.1K
The development of psychological disorders, which are characterized by deviant, maladaptive, and personally distressing behaviors, has been explored through several theoretical approaches.
Biological approach
The biological approach posits that internal, organic factors are the primary causes of such disorders. This perspective emphasizes brain structure and function, genetic predispositions, and neurotransmitter imbalances. For example, schizophrenia has been associated with both genetic...

Information Processing Approach01:30

Information Processing Approach

800
The information-processing theory of cognitive development centers on fundamental mental processes, including attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Researchers in this field examine how cognitive abilities, such as working memory, evolve and influence children's overall development. Studies indicate that children with stronger working memory tend to excel in reading comprehension, math, and problem-solving compared to peers with less efficient memory skills. Low working memory is...

Introduction to Developmental Psychology

2.2K
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...

Autism Spectrum Disorder01:19

Autism Spectrum Disorder

1.8K
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

The Nativist Approach01:21

The Nativist Approach

586
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...

Three Developmental Domains01:29

Three Developmental Domains

1.5K
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,...

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Psychology
  • Network Science
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • Child and adolescent development involves complex interactions between diverse factors.
  • Network approaches offer a powerful method for modeling these intricate developmental processes.
  • Understanding these interactions is crucial for identifying and addressing developmental differences and disorders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if developmental differences and disorders can be understood as arising from interactions between psychological characteristics and symptoms using a network approach.
  • To model the interrelations between various areas of psychological functioning across different developmental stages and cohorts.
  • To explore the clustering of psychological functioning within developmental domains.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from four large, population-based birth cohorts in England (n=47,315).
  • Fitted 12 undirected psychometric network models, one for each cohort and developmental stage (early childhood, middle childhood, adolescence).
  • Analyzed interrelations between psychological functioning areas including memory, attention, language, social functioning, and psychopathology.

Main Results:

  • In early and middle childhood, psychological functioning clustered into cognition/language and social/emotional domains.
  • In adolescence, functioning clustered into cognition/language, social functioning, and emotional functioning domains.
  • Demonstrated that developmental differences and disorders can be conceptualized via network modeling, potentially arising from bottom-up processes.

Conclusions:

  • Developmental differences and disorders can be conceptualized through network modeling, suggesting they arise from complex, bottom-up interactions.
  • Conditions that appear similar may have diverse underlying etiologies, challenging a one-size-fits-all diagnostic approach.
  • Provides evidence for a needs-based support system in schools, targeting specific characteristics and symptoms rather than solely relying on lengthy diagnostic assessments.
