would like you to construct answer each of the following questions:
1. What is developmental psychology?
2. What is the difference between continuous and discontinuous development?
3. What two major types of research designs are used in developmental psychology and how do
cohort effects apply?
4. Describe fetal development from fertilization to birth, including the developmental process
for the baby, related information for the mother, and the dangers of teratogens to the baby’s
development.
5. Describe puberty including key terms that apply.
6. Describe climacteric and any relevant key terms.
7. Describe the process of aging and why it occurs.
8. Based on Piaget’s theory of Cognitive Development compare and contrast how a 7 year old

know the stages and the corresponding abilities, as well as all related key terms for the
exam.)
