Prenatal to adolescence/early adulthood period has changes Nature and Nurture as well as changes occurring in three broad domains: physical, emotional, cognitive and social. Theorists such as Erikson, Marcia, Piaget, Kohlberg, Perry and their theories on human development help contribute to understanding more of Petes development through conception to adolescence/early adulthood.
From the mother perspective, she describes and explains the nature and nurture influences that occurred during Petes prenatal development from conception through to birth. During the nature of development, chromosomes are passed on in which chromosomes are like threadlike structures made of DNA molecules that contain genes. Twenty- two out of twenty-three are matching …show more content…
When asking what was one riddle he found tricky, he replied with “the riddle that talks about who was the tallest”, further on explaining the riddle, “if Kelly is taller than Ellie, and Ellie is taller than Joe, who is the tallest?” When asked what answer was he had replied with, “obviously Kelly”, he then further on explained when he had first seen the riddle at the age of nine, he had to draw out Kelly, Ellie, and Joe as well as writing their name on top of each person on paper, all of which was to come to a conclusion of who the tallest out of the three were. Although Pete liked riddles, he had also stated that he would often come across riddles that would require him to use objects as well as use pen and paper to write or draw out the problem to gain an answer. This would reflect on Piaget 's theory of cognitive development stage, in which Pete and middle childhood would be under the concrete operational stage, in which according to Piaget, Pete has a way of logical thinking although only when dealing with “concrete information” that Pete can observe directly (Berk, L. E., 2014). In regards to now, I had given another riddle to Pete (now 20), as it was unfair that he had already known the riddle that he had explained therefore I had given Pete a new riddle on the “six sisters” riddle. Riddle was given, “There are six sisters. Each sister has one brother. How many brothers are in the sisters family?”. With a quick response to the correct answer, Pete had displayed that his logical and abstract thinking has developed from the middle adolescent, in which going from concrete operational to formal operational thinking (Berk, L. E.,
