Erikson: Basic theories
Most widely accepted theory of personality development. Observes healthy conflicts one must master to avoid pathological personality traits. Progress to next stage depends on completion of previous.
Erikson: Trust Vs. Mistrust
Birth to 1yr: dominates relationship with parent. Loving care essential to dev trust with parent. Mistrust occurs when needs of infant con't not met. FAITH & OPTIMISM result of achieving Trust.
Erikson: Autonomy Vs. Shame/Doubt
1yr to 3yrs: Focus on toddler's ability to control body and environment. They want independence via climbing, walking, eating, potty-train, decision-making. Doubt/Shame arise when made to feel "small/self-conscious/unable". SELF-CONTROL/WILLPOWER result of achieving Autonomy

Role confusion occurs when inability to solve internal conflict regarding self identity. DEVOTION & FIDELITY result of achieving Identity.
Piaget: basic theories
Age-related changes that occur in mental activities. Intelligence enables one to adapt to environment increasing probability of survival.
Piaget: 3 Stages of Reasoning
1) Intuitive. 2) Concrete Operational. 3) Formal Operational.
Piaget: Sensorimotor:
Birth to 2yrs: intellectual dev consisting of 6 stages in which simple learning occurs via the senses. Infants progress from reflexive activity to imitative bx. Develop sense of "cause and effect." High level of curiosity & experiment. Dev sense of self separate from caregiver. Object permanence learned in this stage.
Piaget: Preoperational
2yr to 7yrs: Egocentrism is predominant characteristic. Inability to put self in place of others. Different from selfishness or self-centered b/c no ability to see other perspective. Children interpret objects/events in terms of relationships & ability to use.Thinking is concrete/tangible, no ability to deduce. Imaginary play/questioning.
Piaget: Concrete Operational
Thought becomes more logical/coherent. Able to classify/organize facts for use in problem-solving. Conservation develops (understand volume principles). Reasoning is inductive: thought becomes less self-centered via relationships.
Piaget: Formal Operational
11yrs to 15yrs: Characterized by adaptability & flexibility. Can think in abstract terms, use abstract symbols, draw logical conclusions, consider philosophical matters. May confuse ideal with practical.
Language Development
Environment must be conducive to language. Gestures preceed vocal language. At all stages of development, comprehension of language is greater than expressed vocabulary.
Kohlberg: Moral development
Moral development based on cognitive dev. theory and consists of 3 major levels, each with 2 stages.
Kohlberg: Preconventional Level
Parallels preoperational level of Piaget's theory. Children integrate ideas of good/bad into actions. First children determine action in terms of consequences, "good" becomes what satisfies their own needs.
Kohlberg: Conventional Level
Children are concerned with conformity & loyalty. Bx that meets approval or helps others is good. Being "nice" correlates with Piaget's Concrete Operational stage.
Kohlberg: Postconventional Level
AKA: Autonomous/Principled Level. Child/Adolescent has reached cognitive stage. Bx defined in terms of rights/standards agreed upon by society.
Kohlberg: Most advanced level
Most advanced level of moral law is where self-chosen ethical principles guide decisions of conscience. Usually involves universal principles of justice/dignity. Believed very few people reach this level.
Fowler: Spiritual Development
Closely related to moral dev. Should be considered as part of child's basic need assessment (children need hope/purpose/meaning). Need for confession/forgiveness is present.
Fowler: Stage 0 (undifferentiated)
Encompasses infancy when children have no concept of right/wrong, beliefs, religion, etc. But, beginnings of faith begin with ability to trust (Erikson)
Fowler: Stage 1 (intuitive-projective)
Toddler age: imitating others beliefs and bx. Imitate religious gestures without comprehension. Preschool Age: children assimilate some values of parents. Good/bad seen in parents/taught by parents.
Fowler: Stage 2 (mythical-literal)
School Age: Spiritual dev. parallels cognitive dev. Is closely related to experiences/interaction. Most strongly interested in religion at this age; accepts diety existence; prayers are important and expected to be answered. Guilt accompanies "bad" deeds.
Fowler: Stage 3 (synthetic-convention)
Adolescence: Become more aware of spiritual disappointments. See that prayers not always answered in the way they want. May begin to abandon beliefs/modify practices. Begin to question established parental standards.
Fowler: Stage 4 (individuating-reflective)
Adolescence: become more skeptical, compare current religious beliefs with those of peers and science. Time of searching (Erikson "Identity"). Profound insight not until late adolescence.
Self-concept
How an individual describes themselves. Includes notions, beliefs, convictions. Develops gradually as children learn limits. Self-concept hardened in later adolescence.
Self-esteem
The value an one places on themselves. A personal subjective judgement on one's worthiness derived from social groups and perceptions of how one is valued by others. Changes with dev stages.
Social-Affective Play
1st type of play; infants take pleasure in relationships with ppl. Parents learn to provoke responses in infants, and infants learn to provoke responses in parents.
Sense-Pleasure Play
Nonsocial experience; objects with lights, colors, textures, odors, etc will stimulate pleasure
Skill Play
Infants will repeat abilities like grasping over and over again. Toddlers may become frustrated when ability to master skill eludes them.
Unoccupied Behavior
Not playful but focusing attention on anything that interests them: daydreaming, listless mvmt, walking aimlessly. Not the same as observing.
Dramatic/Pretend Play
Begins in late infancy (11-13months) & is predominant form of play in preschool child. Children are able to pretend after they can attach meaning to the world around them. Pretend allows them to model situations and adult roles around them.
Games
Very young children participate in imitative games like peek-a-boo. Preschool children enjoy formal games like Ring-around-the-Rosie (ritualistic/self-limiting),
Imitative Games, Formal Games, and Competitive Games
Older children enjoy competitive games. Preschool and Toddlers hate losing/can't play competitive games. Imitative games played by infants.
Onlooker Play
Children observe other children's play but make no attempt to join. Ex: watching an older sibling bounce a ball.
Solitary Play
Children play alone with toys no one else is using in the same area of other children. No attempt is made to play with other children; centered on own activity.
Parallel Play:
Child plays alone, but among other children also playing with similar toys. Child will play beside but not with. Characteristic of Toddlers.
Associative Play
Children play together in similar/identical activity. No organization, leadership or mutual goal. Two girls playing with two barbies, maybe swapping clothes, but no other interaction in play.
Cooperative Play
Organized, children play with others. There is a goal, leadership is present, there is a purpose and end. May be a loosely formed group, but still a sense of belonging.
Fx of Play: Sensorimotor Dev.
Predominant in infancy; active mvmt/play req for muscle dev. Infants gain impressions, Toddlers gain body control and get joy from body mvmt.
Fx of Play: Intellectual Dev.
Learn concepts of colors, shapes, sizes, textures, objects, numbers. Associate words with objects and spatial relationship of objects (up and down).
