Biologic Processes as they relate to growth and development
produce changes in an individual's physical growth and development; a result of genetic inheritance that interacts with external influences such as nutrition, exercise, stress, culture and climate
Cognitive Processes as they relate to growth and development
comprise changes in intelligence, ability to understand and use language, and the development of thinking that shapes an individual's attitudes, beliefs and behaviors
Socioemotional Processes as they relate to growth and development
consist of the variations that occur in an individual's personality, emotions and relationships with others during the individual's lifetime
What is the main focus of Gesell's theory of development?
Although each child's pattern of growth and development is unique, this pattern is directed by gene activity. Environmental factors support change and modify the pattern, but they do not generate progression of development
What are Freud's Five psychosexual developmental stages?
Oral, Anal, Phallic, Latency and Genital
Describe Freud's Oral Stage
sucking and oral satisfaction are vital to life but also pleasurable; infant realizes parents are separate from self; disruption of physical or emotional availability of parent(s) could affect development
Describe Freud's Anal Stage
children are increasingly aware of pleasurable sensations of the anal region; toilet training delays gratification in order to meet expectations
Describe Freud's Phallic Stage
genital organs become the focus of pleasure; penis awareness/envy develops, Oedipal and Electra complexes surface; child attempts to reduce conflict by identifying with the parent of the same sex in a way to win recognition or acceptance
Describe Freud's Latency Stage
sexual urges from the previous stages are repressed and channeled into productive activities that are socially acceptable; there is much to learn and accomplish during this phase
Describe Freud's Genital Stage
earlier sexual urges resurface and are directed to an individual outside the family circle; unresolved prior conflicts surface during adolescence; when these are resolved, the person is capable of having a mature sexual relationship
What is the main idea of Erikson's Eight Stages of Development?
Development occurs throughout the lifespan and focuses on psychosocial rather than psychosexual stages; each of his tasks is framed with opposing conflicts that remain throughout life
Trust vs. Mistrust (birth to 1 year)
establishment of a basic sense of trust is essential for the development of a healthy personality; infant needs a consistent caregiver who is able to meet his needs
Autonomy vs. Sense of Shame and Doubt (1 to 3 years)
toddler develops autonomy by making choices; limiting choices and/or harsh punishment leads to shame and doubt; toddlers also learn that parents and society have expectations about their choices
Initiative vs. Guild (3 to 6 years)
children are developing their superego, or conscience, role play and pretend come into play; conflicts develop between exploration and limits placed on them; successful resolution of this stage results in direction and purpose
Industry vs. Inferiority (6 to 11 years)
children eager to apply themselves to learning socially productive skills and tools; they learn to work and play with their peers and thrive on praise; children need to be able to experience real achievement
Identity vs. Role Confusion (Puberty)
dramatic physiological changes take place in this stage; marked preoccupation with appearance and body image; new social demands, opportunities and conflicts that relate to the emergent identity and separation from family
Intimacy vs. Isolation (Young Adult)
development of a sense of identity, deepening capacity to love others and care for them; they search for meaningful friendships and an intimate relationship with another
Generativity vs. Self-Absorption and Stagnation (Middle Age)
following development of an intimate relationship, the adult focuses on supporting future generations; they contribute this goal through parenting, teaching and community involvement
Integrity vs. Despair (Old Age)
the aging process creates physical and social losses and some adults suffer loss of status and function either through retirement or illness; external and internal struggles, such as the search for life's meaning; often engage in retrospective appraisal of their lives
The "easy" child
easygoing and even-tempered; regular and predictable in his or her habits; an easy child is open and adaptable to change and displays a mild to moderately intense mood that is typically positive
The "difficult" child
highly active, irritable, and irregular in habits; negative withdrawal toward others is typical; adapts slowly to new routines, people or situations and needs structure; mood expressions are intense and primarily negative
The "slow to warm up" child
typically reacts negatively and with mild intensity to new stimuli; adapts slowly with repeated contact unless pressured, and then responds with mild but passive resistance to novelty or changes in routine
Gould's Development Themes (20s)
start in the 20s with the idea of having to get away from one's parents
Gould's Development Themes (early 30s)
asks oneself "Is what I am the only way for me to be?"; young adults experience the consequences of the decisions of their independence
Gould's Development Themes (mid-late 30s)
"Have I done the right thing? Is there time to change?"; recognize the complexities of adult decisions and the growing family and aging parents influence this theme
Gould's Development Themes (40s)
"The die is cast", indicates resignation and the belief that possibilities are limited; the personality is set
Gould's Development Themes (50s)
a decrease in negativism occurs; a realization of mortality and increased concern about health take place
Life Events Approach
takes into consideration the variations that occur for each individual rather than holding that all individuals experience life in a common progression and focus on a developmental task during a specific age range
Cognitive Theories
stress how people learn to think and make sense of their world
Name Piaget's Four Periods of Development
Sensorimotor (birth to 2 years)
Preoperational (2 to 7 years)
Concrete Operations (7 to 11 years)
Formal Operations (11 years to adult)
Piaget's Sensorimotor Period
infant develops the schema for dealing with the environment including hitting, looking, grasping or kicking; Schemas then become self-initiated activities which lead to greater exploration
Piaget's Preoperational Period
children learn to think with the use of symbols and mental images though still egocentric by nature; they learn through play and can communicate about events with others
Piaget's Concrete Operations Period
children have to ability to perform mental operations; they understand what symbols represent; they can describe a process without actually performing it and can think scientifically, while taking into account another's experience as well
Piaget's Formal Operations Period
thinking moves to abstract and theoretical subjects; adolescents can organize thoughts in their minds and have the capacity to reason
Social Cognitive Theory
by American psychologist Albert Bandura -- to understand behavior, it is also necessary to understand how people think; said learning occurred through modeling
Modeling
NOT simply imitation! individuals observe the behaviors of others and then make a deliberate choice whether or not to copy the behavior
William Perry
one of the earliest to develop a theory of cognition -- found that continued cognitive development involved increasing cognitive flexibility
Moral Development
refers to the changes in a person's thoughts, emotions and behaviors that influence beliefs about what is right or wrong; encompasses both interpersonal and intrapersonal dimensions as it governs how we interact with others
Piaget's Theory of MORAL Development
includes two stages that emerge between the ages of four and ten years
Piaget's Sensorimotor Period
infant develops the schema for dealing with the environment including hitting, looking, grasping or kicking; Schemas then become self-initiated activities which lead to greater exploration
Heteronomous Morality
occurs between four and seven years and is characterized by a belief that rules are unchangeable and that when a rule is broken, there is imminent justice
Piaget's Preoperational Period
children learn to think with the use of symbols and mental images though still egocentric by nature; they learn through play and can communicate about events with others
Piaget's Concrete Operations Period
children have to ability to perform mental operations; they understand what symbols represent; they can describe a process without actually performing it and can think scientifically, while taking into account another's experience as well

Heteronomous Morality
occurs between four and seven years and is characterized by a belief that rules are unchangeable and that when a rule is broken, there is imminent justice
Autonomous Morality
the child understand that people make rules and that they can be changed; children know that intentions influence the consequences of behaviors
Kolberg's Theory of Moral Development
expanded on Piaget's theories; found that moral reasoning develops in six stages under three levels
Level I: Preconventional Reasoning
the person reflects on moral reasoning based on personal gain
Stage 1: Punishment and Obedience Orientation
the child's response to a moral dilemma is in terms of absolute obedience to authority and rules. The child's avoidance of punishment is the motivation to behave
Stage 2: Instrumental Relativist Orientation
the child recognizes there is more than one right view; the decision to do something morally right is based on satisfying one's own needs and occasionally, the needs of others
Level II: Conventional Reasoning
the person sees moral reasoning based on his own personal internalization of societal and others' expectations
Stage 3: Good Boy-Nice Girl Orientation
individual wants to win approval and maintain the expectations of one's immediate group
Stage 4: Society-Maintaining Orientation
individuals expand their focus from a relationship with others to a societal concerns
Level III: Postconventional Reasoning
the person finds a balance between basic human rights and obligations and societal rules and regulations
Stage 5: Social Contract Orientation
an individual follows the societal law but recognizes the possibility of changing the law to improve society
Stage 6: Universal Ethical Principle Orientation
defines "right" by the decision of conscience in accord with self-chose ethical principles, which are abstract
What is the purpose of a theory?
to account for how and why people grow up as they do; they provide a framework to clarify and organize existing observations to explain and try to predict human behaviors
What is development?
a progressive and continuous process of change leading to a state of organized and specialized functional capacity. These changes are quantitatively measurable but are more distinctly measure in qualitative changes
Developmental Crisis
occurs when a person is having great difficulty in meeting tasks of the current developmental period
What is socialization?
the outside influence a person receives from family, peers, and society
