What is the difference between Identical and Fraternal twins?
Identical twins - 50 per cent genetic match, Fraternal twins - approximately 25 per cent gene match, same amount as any set of brothers and sisters

How are adoption studies useful?
Similarities between children and their adoptive parents would suggest neither environmental of inherited influence is greater
Similarities between children and their adoptive parents would suggest environmental (Nurture) influence is greater
Whereas similarities between adopted children and their biological parents would indicate inherited (Nature) influence is greater.
Similarities between adopted children and their biological parents would indicate neither environmental or inherited is greater
Similarities between children and their adoptive parents would suggest inherited (Nurture) influence is greater
Whereas similarities between adopted children and their biological parents would indicate environmental (Nature) influence is greater.
Studies of Adopted children have provided considerable support for the view that:
inheritance plays a significant role in an individual’s food preference
inheritance plays a significant role in an individual’s care giver attachment
inheritance plays a significant role in an individual’s Psycho-social development
inheritance plays a significant role in an individual’s intelligence

environmentally determined biological change
genetically predetermined psycho-social development

environmentally determined psycho-social development

What is a developmental Norm?
Developmental norms indicate the set age that a certain behaviour or skill will be achieved.
Developmental norms indicate the set age that a critical period occur.
Developmental norms indicate the average age that a critical period occurs.
Developmental norms indicate the average age that a certain behaviour or skill will be achieved.
What is one difference between critical and sensitive periods of development?
Sensitive - Gradual e.g Visual development, Cognitive - Abrupt e.g Language development
Sensitive - Gradual e.g Language development, Critical - Abrupt e.g Visual development
There is no difference, they occur at the same time during infant development
Critical - Gradual e.g Language development, Sensitive - Abrupt e.g Visual development
What is most commonly developed during sensitive periods of development?
Nervous system development
Internal organ development
Brain cell connects (proliferation, migration, circuit formation)
Language, range of movement, and social skills
What is most commonly developed during critical periods of development?
Brain cell connects (proliferation, migration, circuit formation)
Language
Social skills
Maturation
