Teratogens (textbook p. 120)

•Problems during prenatal development can occur due to genetic abnormalities or environmental toxins called teratogens.

•Every major system is in place during prenatal development by the end of the embryonic stage and refinement of the systems takes place during the fetal stage, which is the longest.

•May be temporary or permanent.

Had a previous preemie Pregnant with multiples Have an abnormal cervix or uterus

Full-term SGA: Babies with birth defects Mother has chronic health problems

Page 11: Seminar 2

Preemie Possible Outcomes• Increased risk for cerebral palsy• Lower IQs• Increased risk of learning disabilities• Increased risk of physical/motor problems• Lower grades in school• More acting out in school• Hearing problems• Health problems

What age group of mothers is the least likely to deliver a healthy baby?

• strong support to teen mothers• Nutrition • Home visits• Early identification and treatment of

developmental delays• Speech therapy• Occupational therapy

How do researchers determine if an attribute is due to Nature or

Nurture?

Page 14: Seminar 2

What do you think researchers found in their twin studies about

most disorders? Are they due more to Nature or Nurture?

Page 15: Seminar 2

Nature! Most disorders have a genetic

basis.
