Infant/child motor milestones
``` Baby raises its head Baby rolls over Baby can sit if propped up Baby can sit on its own Baby can crawl/walk ```
26
Schema (cognitive development)
Mental concepts formed through experiences with objects/people (i.e., child's concept of "dog" or "soldier")
27
Psychologist who studied schemas (cognitive development)
Piaget
28
What did Piaget study?
He studied development of schemas. He used longitudinal and cross-sectional studies. He used his association with a school district to find children to study. His experiments resulted in the Cognitive Development Stage Theory.
29
Stage 1 of Cognitive Development Stage Theory
Sensorimotor stage | Infant exclusively uses senses and motor skills to interact with environment
30
Object permanence
Acquired at end of Stage 1 of CDST | Babies understand objects/people exist even while not in sight
31
Stage 2 of Cognitive Development Stage Theory
``` Preoperational stage Preschool Characterized by: Egocentrism Centration Irreversibility ```
32
Egocentrism (CDST)
Incapable of seeing the world from other perspectives
33
Centration (CSDT)
Focus on the same component/object repeatedly (e.g., rewatch their favorite movie 6.9 times)
34
Irreversibility (CSDT)
Child cannot mentally reverse an action (e.g., you crumple up their drawing and they cry because they don't know it can be uncrumpled)
35
Conservation (CSDT)
Related to irreversibility. Cannot understand changing of appearance without changing its nature E.g., Have two identical glasses of water, and they say the same amount is in each. Then you pour one of the glasses into a tall, narrower glass, in front of them, and they say the tall glass has more water. They are stupid and can't mentally reverse the action.
36
Stage 3 of Cognitive Development Stage Theory
Concrete operations K12 Capable of logic, but not abstract thought
37
Stage 4 of Cognitive Development Stage Theory
Formal operations Adolescence Capable of abstract thought
38
Criticisms of Piaget's Cognitive Development Stage Theory
Object permanence is developed sooner than claimed
39
Vygotsky's Contributions/Findings to CDST
Social interactions speed up development | Without social interaction, babies become damaged
40
Zone of Proximal Development (CSDT)
Studied by Vygotsky Learning through scaffolding E.g., First, you have training wheels. Then you remove them and have a helper guide you along. Then you go like normal.
41
Stages of language development
Cooing (blowing bubbles) Babbling One-word speech (holophrases) Telegraphic speech (speaking in a sentence)
42
Receptive-productive lag
Understand a language before one can produce it
43
Attachment (developmental research)
Emotional bond between infant and primary caregiver
44
Researcher who studied attachment (development research)
Mary Ainsworth
45
Secure attachment
Primary caregiver leaves | Infant is easily soothed and open to meeting new stranger
46
Insecure attachment
Bad | Opposite of secure attachment
47
Avoid attachment
Infant is unattached and apathetic of parent's presence | Correlated with aloof parenting
48
Anxious/ambivalent attachment
Mixed feelings Upset at primary caregiver's departure Angry at their return
49
Disorganized-disoriented attachment
TBD
50
Temperament (human development)
Behavioral characteristics at birth Easy: adaptable, regular, happy Difficult: exact opposite
51
Discerning babies (human development, temperament)
Need time to adjust to change and to new people
52
Stage 1 of ESPD
Trust versus mistrust Infant (0-2) Attachment figure is important If inconsistent care, causes trust issues and Stage 2 failure
53
Stage 2 of ESPD
``` Autonomy vs. shame and doubt Toddler Toddlers want to walk on their own Strive for physical independence Otherwise, doubt and shame ```
54
Stage 3 of ESPD
Initiative versus guilt Preschool Strives for emotional/psychological independence Feel guilt if can't stop temper tantrums/emotional control
55
Stage 4 of ESPD
``` Industry versus inferiority Industry is faith in one's self-efficacy Strives for competence and self-esteem Comparing to other kids Trying to find what one is "good at" ```
56
Piaget's final stage
``` Almost an adult Can think abstractly Egocentric thought returns Personal fables - no one else can understand their struggles Imaginary audience - ??? ```
57
Stage 5 of ESPD
Mid-adolescence Search for "identity" Parent-teen conflict Failing causes "role confusion"
58
Stage 6 of ESPD
``` Intimacy vs Isolation Young adult Strives for emotional and psychological closeness to another person Still maintains sense of self Those who fail Stage 5 do badly here ```
59
Stage 7 of ESPD
Generativity vs Stagnation Mid-adult Seeks to guide children to next generation Example of stagnation: Woman who has good career, backs it up to become better parent, then she feels unfulfilled because there is nothing else to offer
60
Stage 8 of ESPD
Integrity vs Despair Geezer Seeks sense of wholeness to release regret (???) Determines whether or not one regrets stuff
61
Criticisms of Kohlberg's Morality Development
Criticized because of too many white males
62
Level 1 of Kohlberg
Preconventional morality Children Behavior governed solely by consequences of reward/punishment
63
Level 2 of Kohlberg
Conventional morality Young adult+ Behavior governed by society's norms - E.g., cars squeezing into a line of cars is normal, so people do it because it is moral to them - E.g., you would not do the same thing to grocery stores, not normal so not moral
64
Level 3 of Kohlberg
Postconventional morality Behavior governed by individual morals E.g., civil disobedience during 1960s
65
Dr Kavorkian
Example of Level 3 Kohlberg | Believed in morality of assisted suicide - was imprisoned for it, but eventually made it legal
66
Authoritarian parenting style
Ozai Projection of parent's issues Creates avoidant attachment
67
Permissive parenting style
Few demands Subtypes: Neglectful Indulgent
68
Neglectful parenting style
Subtype of permissive Uninvolved (e.g., single-parent "household" where the "parent" works all day)
69
Indulgent parenting style
Subtype of permissive | Raises the "spoiled" ones
70
Authoritative
Firm limits + warmth, respect Iroh Adolescents need "why" and respect
71
Parenting style and age
Parenting style changes with age. | Younger parents are ???
72
Cellular clock theory
Cells can't reproduce forever Talomeres correspond to cell healthiness Geezers have bad ones
73
Wear-and-tear theory
Tissues wear out | Body can't self-repair forever
74
Free radical theory
Free radicals are molecules with unstable electrons | Cause aging and cancer
75
Activity theory (theories of age)
Better to remain active | Physical, cognitive, and social activity stop death and bad health
76
Stages of Death and Dying/Grief
``` Denial Anger Bargaining Depression Acceptance ```
