What This Document Is
This document is a review sheet designed to help students prepare for the third exam in Hunter College CUNY’s PSYCH 150: Human Development course. It outlines key concepts covered in the course material – lectures and textbook readings – relating to adolescence and cognitive development. It’s structured as a series of questions and prompts to guide self-study.
Why This Document Matters
This review sheet is essential for students nearing the third exam. It focuses preparation by highlighting the most important topics the instructor emphasized. It’s best used *after* completing readings and attending lectures, serving as a tool to identify areas needing further review. Students who utilize this sheet alongside their notes will be better positioned to assess their understanding of the material.
Common Limitations or Challenges
This review sheet is not a substitute for attending lectures or completing assigned readings. It’s a focused guide, not a comprehensive summary of everything covered in the course. It doesn’t provide answers, explanations, or detailed examples – it prompts you to recall and synthesize information. It also doesn’t cover *all* possible exam content, as the exam can include any material from the textbook and lectures.
What This Document Provides
This review sheet includes prompts covering:
* **Adolescence:** Biological changes during puberty (growth spurts, hormones like testosterone, cortisol, leptin, the HPA & HPG axes, gonads, timing of puberty, and potential consequences of early or late onset, circadian rhythms, nutritional deficits, and body image). It also touches on eating disorders like Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa.
* **Cognition:** Piaget’s Formal Operational Stage and hypothetical thought.
This preview *does not* include the answers to the questions posed, nor does it provide in-depth explanations of the concepts. It only presents the topics covered in the full review sheet.
