Throughout this paper I will be writing about developmental psychology, which is the study of how and why humans develop over time. Humans develop both physically and cognitively over their lifespan from infancy, toddlerhood, teen, and to adulthood. At full length I will be explaining the stages and factors that play a role in developmental psychology. Maturation is the major key of growing from childhood to adulthood and it starts at infancy.…
For Makayla I would suggest she use confluent more often. With confluent she can take the risk of moving on to the next question. She will then be able to complete the test in time. Using both skills will help her in the long run with creativity as well.…
Mixed Number Sequence (5,0) Our spiritual guides are always available to us.

They want what's best for us and to help us achieve our future goals. Manifesting your dreams comes as an essential part of the angel number's messages.…
Introduction This paper will discuss psychological development in late childhood based on references and the movie Stand By Me (1986). These four main points will be discussed: physical behavior, gender roles, self-esteem, and cognition. Physical Behavior Children’s physical behavior are noticeably advanced compared to those of infants and toddlers ( Sigelman and Rider, 2015). Children learn over a period of time to move their bodies with their changing environment.…
Children’s learning and development may affect the stage of development they have reached and this will need to pass the milestone for example learning how to walk may occur at an early stage for some children, at 10 months while others between 12-16 months. Table 3.13.3 shows the effect of a development delay on children’s learning according to Penny Tassoni on page 350 As we have seen there are a many ways that would lead to children being effect with their development, therefore, it is important to be aware and understand how children develop physically, emotionally, socially etc. as this will help us…
Cognitive development is the construction of thought processes, including remembering, problem solving, and decision-making, from childhood through adolescence to adulthood (healthofchildren). From the age of 2 to 11 children are constantly discovering new things about themselves and their body, whether it be walking, talking or experiencing puberty. The cognitive difference between these two are tremendous and differ at each stage of growth. For example, a two-year-old is just learning how to walk and run properly while an eleven-year-old has been walking for years and is in middle school getting ready to enter adolescence. The stage between toddler and preteen is extreme, with this in mind, I chose to focus between these ages and observe…
Maturation refers to the gradual progression of development over time. As I grew older my brain began to develop and the neurons began to mature. The result was an increase in the number of synapses made, 15,000 per neuron, although many that were unused were eliminated through synaptic pruning, a process which is a completely normal step in development. Through the increase in synapses, a complex network of neural pathways was developed, allowing for the sending of messages with the help of neurotransmitters. My brain was able to modify these connections because of its plasticity, which is why new information was able to be learned, enabling development from infancy to adulthood.…
In everyday life there is unpredictability. An infant may go from crawling to walking and skip cruising. It is typical for infants to experience the “stages” out of order or skip certain “stages” altogether. Similarly, environmental factors, historical changes, and cultural preferences may affect an infant’s process of learning to walk. Adolph and Robinson give several examples in support of their argument.…
Gesell was a psychologist who did a study on children to document the typical development of children. He did observations on lots of children though a special dome, taking notes on children’s behaviour. Through his observations, Gesell believed that development follows a set pattern. He discovered that children develop physically in a ‘comparable and parallel orderly process” (St. Rosemary Educational Institution, 2016).…
Sequence of development means that there is usually an order of how a child develops. There is usually a pattern of events that happen. Children usually finish one area of development before moving to the next. The rate of development is the speed in which a child develops, it’s the time frame specified for the average development of a child at a given age. This said however all children are unique and develop at their own rate.…
Sequence: After brainstorming my ideas, I will need to use my Sequence pattern to organize them and put them in the correct order. Using my Sequence will help me compare my views of how I used to feel about learning, to how I feel now that I’ve taken this class. I will need to make a list of examples of where I have used my learning patterns together, and using my Use First Sequence will be my biggest aid in doing this. Precision: The Week 5 assignment will require a high use of Precision, because not only is it asking for facts and results, it also demands thorough explanation and description. I will need to go back over my notes, knowing that I have taken a lot of them, and critically assess them so that I can stay on point with the topic.…
Seeing how kids and teenagers develop and deciding the stage procedures is a complex selection of theories. Numerous thinkers and specialists have their own theory of how the body and mind grow. There is no good and bad in their methods of insight, there are appraisals of human development. While a few speculations can be straightforwardly connected to a man, so can another. To demonstrate reality in these theories, I will give examples of how all the kids in the movie ‘Babies’ by Thomas Balmes demonstrate characteristics discussed in each given theory.…
An individual’s growth is characterized by various developmental categories including physical appearance, regulation of emotions, cognitive and language abilities. Often the development is thought to be differentiated by the numerous cultures globally yet in the documentary Babies directed by Thomas Balmès illustrates the similarities among all four countries he documents. As one infant (Ponijao) is from Namibia his culture is largely different in comparison to the baby (Hatti) from the United States of America. However, although the socialization differs immensely, the documentary illustrates the similar timeline that all four babies develop (Chabat & Balmès, 2010). Physically it becomes evident of similarities in growth patterns, and the advancement of motor skills.…
Two major sequences of development occur as the child continues to grow and develop. These sequences include cephalocaudal patterns and proximodistal patterns of development. Cephalocaudal development involves growth occurring from head to “tail” or the lower portion of the body. A clear example of cephalocaudal development involves growth of the infants head in relation to the rest of his/her body. By the 8th week of conception, the head makes of half of length of the embryo.…
As mentioned before the biological perspective on childhood development states that children’s cognitive abilities, motor functions, personality and physical traits will develop in accordance with a biological design (Kail & Zolner, 2015, pg. 3). Cognitive development – the specialization of mental processes (Kail & Zolner, 2015, pg. 504). Physical development - the continual transformation of what our body looks like (Kail & Zolner, 2015, pg. 503). Motor functions - movement that employees muscle-groups (Kail & Zolner, 2015, pg.…
