Term
\f0\fs24 \cf0 Factor influencing development of behaviour
Definition
inheritance maturation and environment\
Term
inheritance
Definition
genes inherited from parent have influence on development of behaviour as development stages depend of fully functioning Central nervous system\
Term
maturation
Definition
is an inherited sequence of development which is evident by fact all children develop at same rate\
Term
environment
Definition
the effect the environment has on development is hard to tell however identical twin studies show effects are significant but limited\
Term
Imitation
Definition
Copying of observed behaviours and method that most behaviour is learned\
Term
Trial and error
Definition
Learning occur as individual repeat successful behaviour and avoid repeating unsuccessful behaviour that doesn't.\
Term
Reinforced
Definition
Behaviour that is rewarded\
Term
Extinction
Definition
Behaviour that doesn\'e2\'80\'99t reward and is likely to disappear.\
Term
Cultural transmission
Definition
Passing of info from generation to generation important factor in evolution behaviour.\
Term
Shaping
Definition
Is the process of seeking influence the behaviour of young g less experiences individuals.\
Term
Generalisation
Definition
Process in which similar experience are treated as the same e.g. fear of dogs as had been bitten once.\
Term

Term
Identification
Definition
Is when we admire and respect someone and make adjustment to our behaviour or become more like that person.\

Maturation
Definition
Is an inherited sequence of developmental stages. This is evident by the facts that children of all cultural and environment are similar. They are unable to rollover: roll over: sit up without support: crawl: stand unsupported: walk supported: stand unsupported Myelination. Is the development in infant of myelin the fatty covering on the axon making the neurone capable of transmitting impulses.\
Term
Inheritance
Definition
Genes inherited from parent influence development of behaviour e.g. PKU Huntington's chorea.\
Term
PKU
Definition
Caused but defected gene which makes suffer unable to process an enzyme to process the amino acid phenylantine and results in the build up of toxins.\
Term
Huntington's chorea
Definition
Inherited from either parent the condition shows no sign until sufferers are in late and progresses into mental distortions and death there in no cure.\
