development

  • the pattern of movement or changes that starts at conception and continues through the human life.

life-span perspective (Baltes, 1987, 2003)

 

  • development is lifelong, multidimensional, multidirectional, plastic, multidisciplinary, and contextual
  • development involves growth, maintenance, and regulation
  • development is co-constructed through biological, sociocultural, and individual factors

maximum lifespan vs. life expectancy (Lebenserwartung)

  • Ein Mensch kann maximal 122 Jahre alt werden
  • Die Lebenserwartung ist im Laufe der Jahre gestiegen, heute liegt sie in den USA bei 78 Jahren.

context

 

= historical, economic, social, and cultural factors
  •  normative age-graded influences

• health and well-being (Gesundheit) • parenting and education (Elternschaft und Erziehung) • sociocultural contexts and diversity • social policy (Sozialpolitik)

The nature of development

2.1 Biological, cognitive, and socioemotional processes

 

• biological (e.g., brain growth, motor skills, puberty) • cognitive (e.g., language, intelligence, problem solving) • socioemotional (e.g., social relations, emotions,   personality)

Zusammenfassung der Entwicklungsfaktoren

Zusammenfassung der Entwicklungsfaktoren

The evolutionary perspective

 

 

  • Natural selection and adaptive behavior (Darwin, 1859) 
  • Evolutionary psychology: Importance of adaptation, reproduction, and „survival of the fittest“ also for psychological features (Buss, 2008)

The evolutionary perspective

 

Brain development

 

 

  • extended childhood period in humans
  • brain as a collection of task-specific modules

The evolutionary perspective

 

Ultimate vs. proximate goals

ultimatives vs. nahes ziel

The evolutionary perspective

 

Biogenetisches Grundgesetz (Haeckel, 1868)

 

  • Menschliche Ontogenese baut auf phylogenetisch älteren Ontogenesen auf

The evolutionary perspective

Atavisms (Atavismen)

 

  • body atavism (z.B. Schwimmhäue, Kiemenspalten, Milchleisten) 
  • behavior atavism (e.g. palmar grasp; Greif-/Klammerreflex)

The evolutionary perspective

 

Evaluation (Gould, 1981)

 

Biology does not dictate behavior, but possibly restricts range of possible behaviors.

Genetic foundations of development

 

2.1 The genetic process

 

  • cells – chromosomes – DNA – genes 
  • about 20,000 to 25,000 human genes
  • genetic expression = activity of genes to produce proteins
  • activity can be turned on or off by various factors (epigenesis) 
  • genotype (genetic material) vs. phenotype (observable features)
  • maturation (Reifung): universal, gene-caused unfolding of structures or functions

Genetic foundations of development

Chromosome- and gene-linked abnormalities

  • chromosome abnormalities

 

  • Down syndrome (extra copy of chromosome 21)
  • sex-linked chromosome abnormalities (either extra X or Y chromosome or – in females – one X chromosome missing)
