30 minutes and wrote down everything I saw and heard. The child was two years old and a female. She had tan skin, brown eyes, dark curly hair that she wore in pig tails. She wore a white sparkly shirt that had the minions from Despicable Me on it, jeans, and black boots. She was around family including her mother, father, grandmother, aunt, uncle, and many cousins. Everybody in the room was in a good mood and interacted with her when she interacted with them. Social Emotional Development She…

ADOLESCENCE According to WHO, adolescence is one of the stages of life which occurs between the ages of ten and nineteen and it is characterized by all round rapid growth. It is the transition from childhood to adulthood. Fayal, a developmental psychologist (1998), said that human development occurs in stages and each stage has its distinct characteristic. According to Erik Erikson, (1902-1994), psychoanalyst and a neo–Freudian, adolescence is the period during which an individual tends to…

Genetic Epistemology is the study of the origins of knowledge according to Piaget. Explanation Jean Piaget (1936) was the first psychologist to study cognitive development. In the Genetic Epistemology theory, Piaget explains how humans develop cognitively from birth throughout life. He broke this down into four stages: Sensorimotor stage, Preoperational stage, Concrete Operational stage, and the Formal Operational stage. Sensorimotor Stage- this stage is from birth through age 2. There are 6…

There are many different theories about how children develop, including but not limited to innate desires the child is born with, how the parent behaves towards the child, and how people interact with the child. Some of the major names in the field of child development include Freud, Erikson, Watson, Skinner, Bandura, Piaget, Vygotsky and Bronfenbrenner. While all theses theorists help to explain child development, I believe that Watson, Bandura, and Piaget best explain why my parenting choices…

The young adult’s developmental pathway is a stage of life that includes the challenges of independence, the reward for achievement, and the endurance of crises (Nagy, 2013, p. 422.) This essay will describe and discuss the physical, cognitive and psychosocial characteristics of the young adulthood lifespan stage. Two theorists that relate their developmental research to this life span, Erikson and Piaget, are described and the discussion of two health related behaviours applicable to the…

most influential psychologist, Jean Piaget and Lev Semenovich Vygotsky, did not come to the same conclusion. Piaget’s cognitive development theory argues that “development leads learning,” while Vygotsky's states in his sociocultural theory of development that “learning leads development.” Both Piaget's and Vygotsky's theories have given people, especially teachers, a greater understanding on how children grow, learn, and implicate their theories into the classroom. Jean Piaget (1896-1980),…

In the second chapter of Christian Formation: Integrating Theology and Human Development, James Estep explains the different approaches to integration by using a metaphor of two books. One book represents theory and the other theology. He writes, “It depends on the question being posted. …it is obvious that, on some occasions, one of the two books may have more relevant information” (Estep, 2015, 47). Estep’s logical conclusion about integration is that you need to look for the best answer…

1. In your own words, describe Piaget’s stages of cognitive development, describing the major characteristics of each stage. According to Jean Piaget, a child psychologist, children progress through a series of four main stages of cognitive development. Each stage is marked by changes in how the children perceive the world in terms of their thoughts, knowledge and judgment. These stages include: a) The sensorimotor stage: This is the first stage which consists of new born infants to…

Cognitive development of the human brain has been a source of interest for generations of educators, researchers, and psychologists. The Stanford Binet Intelligence Quotient was used in the early 1900s. Behaviorists, John Watson and B.F. Skinner, began to study children and hypothesized that children were impressionable and transformable. These researchers believed that through reward of good behavior and discouragement of unacceptable behavior a child’s environment would shape the learning…

Jean Piaget and Erik Erikson both studied child development and they both made their theories on it. Both Piaget and Erikson both theories were similar but they differed in many ways. One thing they could agree on that its stages in life that a human goes through that shapes them. Piaget’s theory focused on children and not so much adulthood. He made stages that described what the child was able to experience at a certain time in their development. With the use of schemata he thought out his…
