Test #1 Occupational Development Flashcards
(100 cards)
Freud’s theory (major ideas)
- dynamic conflict between destructive and loving instincts (libido)
- definition of human mental processes in 3 stages (id, ego, superego)
- viewed development as qualitative and in stages (oral, anal, phallic, latency, and genital)

3 mental process of Freud’s theory
- Id: basic instincts
- Ego: intellectual activities and logical thought
- Superego: conscience and awareness of right and wrong

5 Developmental Stages according to Freud
- Oral: feeding and oral exploration during infancy
- Anal: toileting
- Phallic: early exploration of the genitals and awareness of sexual differences
- Latency: dormancy
- Genital: awakening of sexuality (latency ends)
Erikson’s Psychosocial Theory
stage theory of psychosocial development, lifespan consists of eight dilemmas that must be solved correctly in order to solve the next dilemma
Eight Stages of Personality Development according to Erikson
- Trust vs. Mistrust (The infant must form a loving, trusting relationship)
- Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (The child is motivated toward the development of functional movement)
- Initiative vs. Guilt (The child is motivated by social challenges, becoming more confident)
- Industry vs. Inferiority (The child is faced with peer comparisons and demands for new skills)
- Intimacy vs. Isolation (There is pressure to develop intimate relationships in friendships and romances)
- Identity vs. Role Confusion (The individual is motivated to achieve a sense of identity in adult occupational roles)
- Generativity vs. Stagnation (The individual is motivated toward the development of satisfaction in chosen occupational roles)
- Ego Integrity vs. Despair (The individual is motivated to seek a sense of fulfillment and life satisfaction)

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
- Progression of each need - must satisfy one to get to the next
- Priority of a need at a given point in time

Piaget’s stages of cognitive development
- sensorimotor: thinking occurs with experiences with 5 senses; solutions to problems are invented based on the senses; object permanence is understood based with the help of mental pictures (schemas)
- preoperational: language begins to develop; make-believe play occurs; very self-focused (viewpoints of others are not yet understood); symbolic thinking occurs
- concrete operational: logical thinking begins; understanding of reversibility of actions (understand mathematical operations); identity concepts are understood
- formal operational: abstract, systematic thinking allows for problem solving to occur; individuals are able to develop hypotheses based on observations and test these hypotheses

Theory
proposal identifying critical variables and how they interact
- can be disproved
- provide frame of reference
- describes, explains, and predicts behavior
frame of reference
theoretical material is organized and functionally translated into practice
Nature vs. Nurture
nature: genetic inheritance
nurture: physical and social world
Qualitative vs. Quantitative
qualitative: individuals are different based on characteristics (scored)
quantitative: development occurs as an individual acquires a number of skills (observed)
Stability vs. Instability
Stability: implies rules for predicting behavior are consistent across lifespan
Instability: different rules apply at different points in an individual’s life
Reductionist vs. Non-reductionist
Reductionist: behavior is sum of smaller behavior links
Non-reductionist: behavior cannot be broken into components
Organismic vs. Mechanistic
Organismic: humans act on the environment/inherit nature must be considered
Mechanistic: humans react to the environment/organism viewed as “machine”
Stability vs. Plasticity
Stability
- Individuals high or low in a characteristic remain so at later ages.
- Early experience may have a lifelong impact.
Plasticity
-Change is possible, based on experiences.
Affective Domain
includes characteristics that underlie feeling
ex: Freud, Erikson, Maslow
Cognitive Domain
changes in thinking, memory, problem solving, and other intellectual skills
ex: Piaget, Vgotsky, Dewey
psychomotor domain
The domain involved in the learning of a new procedure or skill; often called the doing domain.
(ex: motor behavior, motor development, motor learning)
motor behavior
any performance of movement that can be observed or documented
motor development
acquisition of motor behavior that is heavily maturational in origin
(ex: Gesell, McGraw,)
motor learning
acquisition of motor behavior that is more environmentally dependent
classical conditioning
stimulus and response
operant conditioning
reinforcement and punishment
social learning
modeling self-efficacy
(Ex: Sears, Bandura)
