In his
early video works from the late 1990s, Sala used documentary
strategies to examine
life after communism in his native Albania, observing the role of language and memory in narrating social and political
histories.
In humans, both the HPA system and the autonomic nervous system show developmental changes in infancy, with the HPA axis becoming organized between 2 and 6 months of age and the autonomic nervous system demonstrating relative stability by 6 to 12 months of age.63 The HPA axis in particular has been shown to be highly responsive to child - caregiver interactions, with sensitive caregiving programming the HPA axis to become an effective physiological regulator of stress and insensitive caregiving promoting hyperreactive or hyporeactive HPA systems.17 Several animal models as well as human studies also support the connection between caregiver experiences in
early postnatal
life and alterations of autonomic nervous system balance.63 - 65 Furthermore, children who have a
history of sensitive caregiving are more likely to demonstrate optimal affective and behavioral
strategies for coping with stress.66, 67 Therefore, children with
histories of supportive, sensitive caregiving in
early development may be better able to self - regulate their physiological, affective, and behavioral responses to environmental stressors and, consequently, less likely to manifest disturbed HPA and autonomic reactivity that put them at risk for stress - related illnesses such as asthma.
UK women's responses to female - biased operational sex ratios varied by women's current and childhood socio - economic status and reproductive
strategy: high socio - economic status women with slow
life -
history strategies moved further towards the slow end of the
life -
history continuum and delayed reproduction, while low socio - economic status women with fast
life -
history strategies favoured
earlier reproduction [61].
They offer accounts on differential
life history strategies (slow, less risky; fast, risky), in psychological acceleration, depending on
early environment quality.
