A developmental psychologist is studying bonding between healthy newborn babies and immediate family members. She wants to know if mothers use smell to recognize their one-week-old infants. To investigate, she selects a random sample of mothers of one-week-old infants. Each mother is presented with a garment worn by her infant and two garments worn by unrelated babies. She asks each of the mothers to identify her infant’s garment.

For each vignette, choose the type of research that is being conducted. There is only one correct answer for each vignette. Here are your answer choices for questions 1-18: Case Study Naturalistic Observation Laboratory Observation Survey Correlation Test Experiment Longitudinal Design Cross Section Cross Sequential Design Ben is counseling Fennimore Jones in a small room in the neuropsychiatric hospital. Ben is a graduate student in clinical psychology and Fennimore is his client. Fennimore was admitted to the neuropsychiatric hospital when he came to the student health clinic complaining that he hears voices shouting obscenities at him, and confiding that he thinks he is going through a spontaneous sex change. After each session with Fennimore, Ben writes a report describing Fennimore’s verbal and nonverbal behavior and his interpretations of his behavior. Zou wants to know how people would react if they saw someone cheating in an unsupervised classroom during an exam. He arranges with a student to take the exam early, and then to come to class during the exam hour and retake the test in an obvious "cheating" manner. Zou makes sure to leave the class unattended several times. A hidden camera records how the other students react. Ada is testing the hypothesis that color preference can be influenced by associating a color with a pleasant experience, such as eating. This afternoon she is delivering a supply of red, yellow, blue, green, and clear nursing bottles to the mothers of newborns who have consented to let their babies be subjects in her research. Ten babies suck out of red bottles, ten suck out of yellow bottles, ten suck out of blue bottles, ten suck out of green bottles, and ten suck from clear bottles. She then measures the baby's eye-tracking patterns to see how long they look at a variety of colors, to determine if they look at the color of their bottle longer than the other colors. The clear bottle is used as a comparison color.

Discuss perceptual abilities in newborns and infants—preferences for visual, auditory, taste/smell senses? Give examples. Describe the three types of gene-environment interaction we discussed in class and in the text: Passive, evocative, active, and give examples. As a child's overall size increases, different parts of the body grow at different rates. Discuss the two growth patterns (cephalocaudal and proximodistal) that describe these changes with examples of motor development to illustrate each. Describe brain growth after birth (neurons, synapses, pruning, myelination). Also, contrast experience-dependent vs. experience-expectant brain growth. Describe the development of voluntary reaching and grasping, and explain why they are important for cognitive development. Give examples of the different stages of reaching and what the grasps are called. Explain dominant and recessive inheritance. What is necessary for each type of inheritance? Give an example of each (using a Punnett square if you wish). What do inheritance patterns tell us about genotypes? Guan-Yin, who is from China, and her husband Pete, Caucasian-American, live in Delaware and have just had their first baby, a boy they have named Jian. Guan-yin had a healthy pregnancy and delivered Jian at 39 weeks, 5 days, via a typical vaginal delivery with an epidural. Pete is concerned because Jian is so quiet, not as active as his sister and brother-in-law's baby, Michael, who was born just three days earlier. Jian is 3 weeks old (a newborn), and Pete is worried that he doesn't cry more or move around as much as Michael. Peter wonders if perhaps Jian will be delayed in physical strength or have poor reflexes, indicative of bigger problems. They ask for your opinion. As a developmental psychology student, what other information would you want to know about Jian? What type of tests are available to see if Jian is "on track?" What information have you read that would alleviate his worries? Explain your reasons and cite material used from your text. Bio-psycho-social influences on pregnancy/childbirth; concerns and interventions for premature infants.
