changes in larynx causing voice to deepen, hair grows in armpits and pubic area, facial hair and redistribution of muscle tissue and fat

Piaget

it involves gradually ending of the mestration and large reduction of fertilised eggs in the ovaries

it regulates sex drive, bone mass, fat distribution, muscle mass and strength and production of red blood cells and sperm

graying and thinning of hair, putting on weight and loss of skin elasticity

Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and mild cognitive impairment loss of nerve cells and reaction of nerves to transmit electrical signals

66+

the uses of small muscles and eye-hand coordination- like writing, turning pages

ovaries begin to release eggs, menstrual cycle begins and uterus enlarges and vagina lengthens

it is the variables across different parts of the body and is measured using hight weight and dimensions

menopause=12 months with out a period

relates to the change and development of sexual organs

19-45

the use of big muscles like riding a bike and running

testosterone, oestrogen, progesterone

physical signs of sexual maturation that do not directly involve sex organs

women normally get pregnant in this life stage but the increase of oestrogen creating nausea, uterus expands to make room for foetus. second trimester lactation starts - happens through mammary glands

women ovaries gradually begin to make less oestrogen- this means that the ovaries stop producing eggs each month

Uses symbols to represent early sensorimotor discoveries. Development of language and make believe play takes place. He believed children at this stage cannot properly understand ideas like numbers mass and volume really work.

Children’s reasoning becomes logical providing the issue are concrete. Able to understand simple logical principles. A 7 to 8 year old might find it hard to imagine info for an answer but if shown image can point out answer.

The capacity for abstract thinking allows the adolescent to reason through symbols that do not refer to objects in the real world - young people can also think of possible outcome of scientific problems abstract thinking enables individuals to think through complicated ideas in their head without having to see the concrete image.

a category of knowledge as well as the process of acquiring knowledge.

it is a state of balance

a new situation where new information is presented and their schemas are upset

in operational stage children understand the theory of conservation that some thinks appearance may change but it’s quantity will stay the same younger children may not understand this.

suggested that the cognitive stages that he suggested were more fluid and that he may have over or under estimated children’s cognitive abilities. also studied suggest that children take longer than 11 years to become skilled at abstract thinking.

the ability to develop spoken language is genetically programmed into individuals.

language acquisition device

he says that individuals are born with LAD that enables children to recognise and develop the language. also say children are preprogrammed to acquire language and it evolves naturally like walking

the ability to use language develope because of maturation and unfolding in biological potential and says babies need to experience the people using language but they do not need to be trained and this was applied to all languages not just English
