Study Notes

Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD Study)

Study Launched in 2016
- Focus on cognitive, behavioral, and mental health outcomes during adolescence.

Adolescents Develop Socially and Emotionally

Identity Development Influenced by:
- Culture
- Personal Beliefs about race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation.
Erikson's Theory of Psychosocial Development
- Identity vs. Role Confusion is the 5th stage
- Adolescence is a key period for establishing a unique identity
Cultural and Ethnic Influences
- Culture shapes an individual's sense of identity.
- Culture determines societal acceptance or rejection of a person's identity.
Parents and Peers
- As adolescents develop identities, conflict with parents often increases.
- Peers play a significant role in identity formation.
Parenting Styles
- Neglectful: Low demand, low responsiveness, child is neglected.
- Permissive: Low demand, high responsiveness, child is indulged.
- Authoritarian: High demand, low responsiveness, strict rules and expectations.
- Authoritative: High demand, high responsiveness, clear rules and expectations with emotional support.

Infants and Children Change Cognitively

Accommodation
- Cognitive process where existing frameworks are adapted to integrate new information.

Language Develops in an Orderly Way

Language as a System
- Uses sounds and symbols according to grammatical rules.
- Morphemes: Meaningful units within words.
- Phonemes: Basic units of sound.
- Syntax: Grammatical rules that govern sentence structure.
Five Stages of Language Development
- Babbling: Intentional vocalization with no specific meaning.
- Telegraphic Speech: Rudimentary sentences missing words, but still conveying meaning.
- Overregularization: Incorrect application of grammar rules to exceptions.

Adolescents Develop Physically

Puberty
- Physical changes for sexual development.
Secondary Sex Characteristics
- Non-reproductive physical changes during puberty that signify sex differences.
Primary Sex Characteristics
- Reproductive organ and genital development during puberty.
Brain Changes During Adolescence
- Synaptic connections refine, gray matter increases.
- Frontal cortex matures in early 20s.
- Limbic system, the emotional and motivational center, is more active than the frontal cortex.

Adolescents Develop Cognitively

Moral Reasoning and Moral Emotions
- Examining when actions that harm others or break social norms are acceptable.
- Self-conscious emotions like embarrassment and shame play a role in morality.
Kohlberg's Three Levels of Moral Reasoning
- Preconventional: Focus on self-interest and outcomes.
  - Stage 1: Punishment orientation (avoiding punishment).
  - Stage 2: Pleasure-seeking orientation (self-interest).
- Conventional: Based on societal laws and approval of others.
  - Stage 3: Good boy/good girl orientation (seeking approval).
- Postconventional: Based on abstract principles and the value of all life.
  - Stage 4: Maintaining social order orientation.
  - Stage 5: Social Contract orientation.
  - Stage 6: Universal ethical principles orientation (rarely achieved).
