Neurobiological Perspectives on Behavior and Development: An Overview, Slides of Psychopathology

An overview of neurobiological perspectives on behavior and development, focusing on the role of the brain and nervous system in psychological disorders, neural plasticity, and the impact of early experiences. It also discusses the different areas of the brain that regulate various functions and behaviors, as well as the contributions of neurotransmitters and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.

What you will learn

  • How do different areas of the brain regulate various functions and behaviors?
  • What is the role of the brain and nervous system in psychological disorders?
  • How does neural plasticity impact behavior and development?
  • What is the role of neurotransmitters in behavior and development?
  • What is the significance of early experiences on brain development?

Developmental

  • Sensitive period = window of time during which environmental influences are • Window closes: more difficult optimal - Parent-child attachment
  • Critical period = window of time where event must • Window closes: too late happen for outcome to occur - Cell migration

Developmental considerations

  • Johnny cannot sit still in the chair for 20 minutes and look at a book.He looks all around, gets up and wanders about the room.
    • Is Johnny’s behavior atypical?
  • Susan clings to her mother’s leg when she tries to leave the room.When she does go, Susan cries.
    • Is Susan’s behavior atypical?
  • Mustdevelopmental levels always consider behavior in the context of expected

Biological Perspectives

  • Neurobiological: Brain and nervous system functionsunderlying causes of psychological disorders
  • Neural Plasticity & the Role of Experience• Malleability or use-dependent anatomical differentiation
    • throughout developmentExperience plays a role in brain development

Biological

  • Neural Plasticity & the role of experience
  • Brain
  • maturation = organized, hierarchical
  • structures change and grow through life
  • shaped by early experiences
  • Consequences of early traumatic experience
    • Type of brain damage
    • Specific lesionnormal processes ≠ disorganization or disruption of

Biological Perspectives (cont.)

  • Genetic Contributions• Few specific genetic causes identified as underlying cause of
    • psychopathologyGenetic contributions to psychological disorders come from many genes that each make relatively small contributions
  • Genes• Do not act alone
    • • And environments interact Do not determine behavior

Inhibited & Uninhibited Children

  • Kagan and colleagues
  • Coherent behavioral & physiological profilesover time
  • Two types do not capture all children, but two fundamental categories
  • Evident in infancy: CNS precursors• More reactive HPA axisÆ Inhibited
    • Less reactive HPA axisÆ Uninhibited
  • **Malleable ****

Social Contexts over Development

  • Changing spheres of influence
  • Broadens over time
    • Family, school, social groups, community…
  • Increasing choice over time
    • Actively select niche
    • Consistent with individual proclivities, temperament

Cognitive: Piaget

  • Stage Theorist
  • Stages are pervasive
  • Successful mastery stage X requires successful mastery stage X-
  • Child biologically prepared for movement tosubsequent stages combined with active interaction with the environment - Neurobehavioral development
  • Force behind social and emotional

Emotional Development

  • Sequence
    • Primary emotions—e.g., joy, disgust, fear
    • Secondary emotions—e.g., pride, shame
      • Require self evaluation in relation to set ofstandards; post 18-24 month shift
