Today we finished off this section today with a look at the Nature / Nuture debate as it applies to three different explanations for links between childhood attachment style, relationships with friends, parents and 'dates' in adolescence, and adult romantic relationships. These are Bowlby's 'Continuity Hypothesis' based on his Internal Working Model concept, the 'Temperament Hypothesis' which assumes genes are responsible, and Social Learning Theory (reinforcement, modelling and tuition). See slides 3 and 4 of the second presentation in the post below.
We then answered this question in 15 minutes:
"To what extent does research support the claim that relationships in adolescence affect those in adulthood?"
4 marks AO1 + 8 marks AO2
I then set a homework to read chapter 9 'God and the limbic system' in 'Phantoms in the Brain' by neuroscientist V.S.Ramachandran by two weeks today. This relates to the study of anomalistic psychology which we will begin next week. There is one copy between two of you.
See Ramachandran in action on Youtube.
