Human Growth and Development

[auminer49r]

Hello everyone.

I took my Human Growth and Development CLEP yesterday and scored a 64. So, I'll give you all some feedback; in case you are interested in this CLEP.

But first, a little background:

I have been taking one CLEP a week for the past 3 weeks. I took Intro to Sociology, Intro to Psychology, and yesterday I took Human Growth and Development. This week I had car problems and I had to work on my car, so I only studied the night before and the morning of the exam... about 5 hours.

Intro to Psychology was ESPECIALLY helpful toward helping me with HG&D; more so than Sociology. There was a lot of overlap.

I am not allowed to tell you what is on the test, but a college level HG&D class would expect you to know about:
Erikson's 8 stages (be able to recognize an incorrect stage,
Kohlberg's stages of moral development (Level I, II, and III),
Maslow's heirarchy of needs,
Paiget's 4 stages of cognitive development (do not take this one lightly, it's really important to understand)
If you come across a man whose name starts with a B... (Is it Bromley??? I can't remember) Know what theories he came up with. (I'm not thinking of Bandura).
Who has a theory on infant-mother attachment?... and what role does post-natal bonding have on the baby's future?
Know the different styles of parenting (Authoritarian, Authoritative, etc...),
What is a zygote, embryo, fetus, etc?
What are the chances of passing down a trait if one parent carries a gene for it?... or if both carry it? (understand the percentages).
What part of the brain is the least developed at birth?
What's a holophrase?..syntax, semantics, phoneme... (language terminology)
What does a STAT test measure?

Anyway, these vague topics should be helpful if you are taking a Final Exam in your HG&D class... (or wherever)

Good luck.
