| Changes that do not occur in set stages and cover the entire life span. | continuous change |
| In research, the group not given the specific intervention or treatment given to the experimental group. This group, however, is similar to the experimental group in relevant ways (e.g., similar age or occupation). | control group |
| Identification of association between two factors. | correlation |
| Research in which people of different ages are compared at the same point in time. | cross-sectional |
| Research that consists of a number of different age groups that are examined over several points in time. | cross sequential research |
| The beliefs, customs, behaviors, rules, and rituals a group uses to define their life together and transmit from one .generation to the next. | culture |
| In experimental research, the area that may change after the introduction of, or changes in, the independent variable. | dependent variable |
| Systematic statement of principles meant to provide a coherent framework for understanding how people change as they grow older. | developmental theory |
| Development that occurs in distinct stages. | discontinuous |
| Continual change within individuals and social groups and the systematic connection of each change to other developments in individuals and society. | dynamic systems |

| Research in which the behavior of one or more subjects in a study is measured as they age. | longitudinal research |
| Pre-determined unfolding of genetic information | maturation |
| Traits, abilities, and capacities inherited from one’s parents. | nature |
| Environmental influences that shape behavior. | nurture |
| A form of learning in which a voluntary response is strengthened or weakened by its association with positive or negative consequences. | operant conditioning |
| Analyzes the development of a person’s inner drives and how they impact every aspect of a person’s life. | psychodynamic theory |
| The use of biological traits (e.g., skin color) to differentiate people. | race |
| The use of the same research design on a different group; the results of which verify or refute the original study’s conclusions. | replication |
| A five-step research process that formulates a question, develops a hypothesis, tests the hypothesis, draws conclusions, and makes the findings available. | scientific method |
| Shared perspectives of social order based on a belief of how things “should be” rather than reality. | social construction |
| Analyzes how learning occurs by observing the behavior of another person, called a model. | social cognitive theory |
| A measure that reflects a combination of a person's income, education level, occupation, and residence. | socioeconomic status(SES) |
