development and socialisation are crucial facets that refer to the psychological and emotional fluctuations that occur in human beings between birth and the end of adolescence, as the individual progresses from acclimatization to maximizing autonomy. Jean Piaget was the first psychologist to make a systematic study of cognitive development. The cognitive development was a progressive reorganization of mental processes as a result of biological maturation and environment experiences. [1]…

Dr. Lawrence Kohlberg is best known for his dissertation for his masters where he observed the differences in morality in children during their developing years. This was a sharp contrast to Cognitive development and Behavior development, which were the popular sciences of the time amongst Psychologists. His experiments and observations, however, would help fill in missing gaps in previous theories, and open up a whole new field of study. History Lawrence Kohlberg was born on October 25, 1927…

Children are raised in many different environments today. Some people run child care services at home, some run them at a facility. Regardless of location, appropriate environments for the children are important, especially for toddlers. Toddlers are children from twelve months to thirty-six months of age (Gestwicki, 2014). Toddlers love to move around. At this age, they have not discovered playing in groups. It is the job of the caregiver to encourage and guide the children to developing…

Developmental Psychologists believe that humans are constantly developing and changing throughout their lives, in terms of mind and related systems. All humans begin as children, and since a child’s rate of cognitive development is higher, they are extensively studied (Gade, personal communication, October, 2015). Let’s consider my niece Anu, she is currently 6 and lives in Chicago. She lives in a household of parents and two younger siblings. Her activity level, from my own experience and from…

As a growing adult, there have been many opportunities and experiences that help influence my growth and development both physically and mentally. Just as a prominent relationship or personal experience have a significant impact on personal development, a cultural event can also be just as significant and include relationships and experiences from a different point of view. In December of 2001, when I was 4 years old, my family moved from Crestview, Florida to Yakota Air Base in Yakota, Japan.…

A person’s degree of goodness, fairness and virtuousness are all qualities that people consider when they are determining how much faith to place in another person. Likewise, a leader’s level of morality powerfully impacts how the team perceives their leader. After all, the team 's vision replies on the leader’s ethical code. Lawrence Kohlberg, a social psychologist, suggested that individuals fall into one of the three categories of moral development – pre-conventional, conventional, and…

lives. Three different phycologists have examined these different stages you have went through in life to try and explain the stages. Although all three of their ways of looking at the stages a person goes through in life, all contain a few constants. Jean Piaget proposed a four state cognitive development. The four different stages are the sensorimotor state, the preoperational stage, the concrete operational stage and then the formal operational period. These four stages start at birth and go…

the children. Make sure that children are given the appropriate praise for working hard and keep your expectations high to motivate a higher level of effort and achievement. * LEAVE IT TO NATURE THEORIES (LAISSEZ-FAIRE – ROUSSEAU & GESELL) Jean Jacques Rousseau thought that children learned naturally and that they are biologically programmed to learn particular things at particular times. This view suggests children naturally do what they need to do in order to develop and learn.…

There are many theories about human development that can be applied to different educational settings. For my instructional setting I found two theories that can help teachers and administrators better understand the developmental stages of students to help them achieve mastery. Piaget’s Cognitive Development theory and Erickson’s theory of psychological growth are two philosophies that can be applied to my educational context to help enhance the academic experience. Piaget’s Cognitive…

Observation of a 5-year-old Purpose The purpose of this observational study is to gain perspective of the various theories of development that were taught in class. Also, to help the observer understand that observational research is complex and difficult to describe a five-year-old female child objectively. The observation took place in the child’s home for one hour while her parents were present during the study thus, the mother can sign the permission slip. Descriptive information The child…
