Kohlberg's stages of moral development

Physical development: Physically, Dayluis’ development has lost momentum compared to his earlier stages such as infancy where he achieved big milestones such as walking and running and adolescence where he had a dramatic growth spurt. Nevertheless, he is getting better at physical activities as is evident by the fact that he made his high school baseball team and became one of the best players on it throughout this period. During this age Dayluis also worries about his physical appearance a lot…

Cognitive development can also be referred to as a constructivist theory as it describes that individuals understand their surroundings and experiences by previous information of what they have experienced or done. Adolescents sometimes based their dissimilar experiences on their personal way of understanding and information of those experiences. Piaget’s foundation for condition was a scheme. Piaget believed a scheme is a systematic arrangement of an action or thought. It is a broad concept and…

Piaget, Sensorimotor stage, Object Permanence. The Sensorimotor Stage Jean Piaget was a clinical psychologist from Switzerland. He is best known for being the pioneer who developed the stages of cognitive development. The fields in which he worked were Developmental Psychology as well as Epistemology. Piaget was born on August 9, 1896 and died on September 16, 1980. He was 84 years old when he died. Piaget’s Stages of Cognitive Development According to the book Psychology in Everyday Life…

steps and stages of development. Children develop at an astonishing rate during the early years of their lives and most importantly their cognitive development is influenced by their surroundings. Furthermore, Piaget’s theory looks at the development of the mind and its cognitive growth over the years within childhood. In Piaget’s theory we study early childhood through the four steps consisting of sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal…

noticed that children of the same age got many of the same questions incorrect. It was during this time that Piaget theorized that humans develop cognitively in four stages; sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational. As infants we begin in the sensorimotor stage, and chronologically proceed through the stages as we grow and develop with age. Piaget also presented the concept of schemas, which is a way in which we organize information. Piaget hypothesized that as…

which effects child development. The microsystem is the innermost system that represents the environments that a child directly interacts with. The microsystem is made of 4 components: home, religious setting, school, and neighborhood. All these components in the microsystem are environments in a child's daily life and affects his or her development in a direct way. Bronfenbrenner also describes a system of environments that indirectly effect children's lives and development called the exosystem…

One of Jean Piaget’s contribution in the field of Developmental Psychology is his theory that children progress through four stages of cognitive development. These four stages are: sensorimotor stage, pre-operational stage, operational stage and formal operational stage. This assessment helps illustrate the stage a child is in through conservation tasks. The first segment showed a little caucasian girl with two bows on her hair; she was between the ages of 4-6 years old. She underwent the…

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…

accept his overall conclusion on cognitive development occurs in stages and has universality. Piaget claims development is discontinuous and occurs in stages, but I still insist that the development is continuous and each child uniquely experiences all these developmental stages according to their capacity. Therefore development of a child should be unrestricted by age. Piaget’s idea of universality, which assumes all children experience the developmental stages in same age and across the word,…

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. Once a newborn experiences something at a young age they will learn to cope and deal with…
