Development

Introduction In order to explain psychological and social development Erik Erikson developed the Erikson theory which includes eight stages of psychosocial development. Each of these stages involves a crisis for whoever is developing (Swartz, de la Rey, Duncan & Townsend, 2011). This essay, however, will only focus on the fifth stage of psychosocial development. The fifth stage it is called “Identity vs Confusion” and is the stage which adolescents go through (Swartz et al., 2011). Through the…

Based on the checklist of social development, Eu Vei has develops in pretend play or imaginative play in social development. Jean Piaget stated that children in the age of two to six will develop in pretend play and symbolic play. In Piaget’s cognitive development, there is a stage called pre-operational stage. Pre-operational stage begins around age two until age seven. Piaget stated that children in this pre-operational stage begin to engage in symbolic play and learn to manipulate symbols.…

code. Lawrence Kohlberg, a social psychologist, suggested that individuals fall into one of the three categories of moral development – pre-conventional, conventional, and post-conventional. Depending upon which level of moral development a leader typically works within, will also govern the overall way the group acts – and even thinks. A leader’s level of moral development reveals their thoughts in regards to ethical…

How children development cognitively or how thinking develops in children is one of the subjects that Piaget study. He came up with a theory of cognitive development that stated that there are four key milestones in cognitive developments which he divided into four stages. In each stage there is different actions that children develop and until a person develops these skills, they are stuck in this stage according to Piaget. The four stages are sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational,…

3-3-16 Theorist Project There have been many theories on child development, each with their own unique focus. Child development theories focus on explaining how children change and grow over the course of childhood. Some of the world’s best known theorists in child development were Sigmund Freud, Abraham Maslow, Jean Piaget, and Erik Erikson. Sigmund Freud believed that there was more than one aspect of the human personality…

performing everyday tasks made them questions and devised tests to see how they thought. As a result of his observations, Piaget believed that Cognitive development was a way to adapt to ambient. According to Piaget, children are intrinsically motivated to explore and understand the things and in doing progress through four stages or stages of cognitive development (Arslan et al., 2014). A recent study by the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) has shown that a part of intelligence is inherited…

brain, in particular infants’, function at a higher capacity. Thompson believes that through regular and repeated exposure to music or learning an instrument also known as active learning strongly encourages infants’ perceptual and motor skills development as appose to passive learning which can be achieved by creating a musical environment through things such as lullabies, nursery rhymes and use of radio and/or iPod which…

In the 1920's Jean Piaget realized that children have a different way of thinking than adults do. After realizing this he decided to invest his time into trying to figure out why. He eventually came up with the 4 stages of child development that every single child goes through. The stages go from when an infant is born until it is around 11 years old. Every child is in the sensorimotor stage until they get to be around 2 years old. During this stage infants become area of their senses like touch…

This essay discusses the four grand theories of development. A theory is an attempt to organise a lot of different facts and give an overall explanation of something. The four Grand Theories of child development is Behaviourism, Social learning theory, Piaget’s cognitive-developmental theory and Vygotsky’s social-cognitive theory. It is important to examine these theories because it has a huge influence on how we think about children, how we interact with children and the way we view children.…

Moral development is believed to be the foundation of ethical behavior. Lawrence Kohlberg believed that moral development progressed through stages, similar to stages of child development. Although Kohlberg described moral development as occurring over a series stages, the stages are hierarchical and discontinuous. Kohlberg believed that moral development occurred over a series of six stages. The stages include punishment orientation, naive reward orientation, good girl/boy orientation,…
