  2. Fingerprint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fingerprint

    In the Henry Classification System, there are three basic fingerprint patterns: loop, whorl, and arch, [28] which constitute 60–65 percent, 30–35 percent, and 5 percent of all fingerprints respectively. [29]

  3. Henry Classification System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Classification_System

    The Henry Classification System is a long-standing method by which fingerprints are sorted by physiological characteristics for one-to-many searching. Developed by Hem Chandra Bose, [1] Qazi Azizul Haque [2] and Sir Edward Henry in the late 19th century for criminal investigations in British India, [3] it was the basis of modern-day AFIS (Automated Fingerprint Identification System ...

  4. Biometrics - Wikipedia

    For example, most biometric features could disclose physiological and/or pathological medical conditions (e.g., some fingerprint patterns are related to chromosomal diseases, iris patterns could reveal sex, hand vein patterns could reveal vascular diseases, most behavioral biometrics could reveal neurological diseases, etc.). [50]

    Vygotsky was strongly focused on the role of culture in determining the child's pattern of development. [14] He argued that "Every function in the child's cultural development appears twice: first, on the social level, and later, on the individual level; first, between people (interpsychological) and then inside the child (intrapsychological).

  6. Child development stages - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_development_stages

    Each child develops in a unique way; however, using norms helps in understanding these general patterns of development while recognizing the wide variation between individuals. One way to identify pervasive developmental disorders is if infants fail to meet the development milestones in time or at all.

  7. Developmental noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developmental_Noise

    Developmental noise may help individuals gain the ability to adapt to the environment. Biological systems display both variation and robustness. [6] Natural variation within a population is in large part genetically determined, but variation due to noise may contribute to a rapid response by an individual to changes in the environment.

  8. Early childhood development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_Childhood_Development

    Early childhood development is the period of rapid physical, psychological and social growth and change that begins before birth and extends into early childhood. [1] While early childhood is not well defined, one source asserts that the early years begin in utero and last until 3 years of age.

  9. Dermatoglyphics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermatoglyphics

    Dermatoglyphics, when correlated with genetic abnormalities, aids in the diagnosis of congenital malformations at birth or soon after.. Klinefelter syndrome: excess of arches on digit 1, more frequent ulnar loops on digit 2, overall fewer whorls, lower ridge counts for loops and whorls as compared with controls, and significant reduction of the total finger ridge count.
