Study Notes
Adolescent Development
- Adolescence is a developmental stage spanning from puberty to 18 years.
- It's a transitional period from childhood to adulthood, marked by rapid physical maturation and changes in how individuals feel, think, and act.
- Adolescence is a sensational, social, and often out of control stage.
- It's also stressful, with rapid changes and a sense of loss or bitterness, yet it's also a time of significant growth and learning.
Identity vs. Role Confusion
- Establishing a clear sense of personal identity is vital during adolescence.
- Knowing your interests, strengths, weaknesses, and what you want in life helps you define who you are.
- This helps navigate through the various options and possibilities that adolescence presents.
Three Stages of Adolescence
- Sensorimotor Stage (Birth to 2 years): Focuses on interacting with the environment. Learns that objects continue to exist even when not visible.
- Preoperational Stage (2 to 7 years): Uses symbols (words, images) to represent objects, but lacks logical reasoning.
- Concrete Operational Stage (7 to 11 years): Learns to think logically and solve problems, but still relies on concrete examples and experiences.
Kohlberg's Stages of Moral Development
- Focuses on how children develop morality and moral reasoning.
- Each stage is characterized by a particular approach to moral logic.
Frontal Lobe
- The largest lobe of the brain, located at the front.
- It coordinates high-level behaviors such as:
- Motor skills
- Problem solving
- Judgment
- Planning
- Attention
- Managing emotions
- Impulse control
Adolescent Brain
- Brain remodeling occurs during the transition to adolescence.
- Instead of purely relying on external factors, adolescents begin working toward self-improvement and personal growth.
- The prefrontal cortex, responsible for planning, prioritizing, and controlling impulses, matures last.
- This can explain why mental disorders like schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and eating disorders often arise during adolescence.
How to Improve Intelligence
- Seek out mental stimulation by challenging yourself regularly.
- Eliminate conveniences to increase cognitive effort.
- Network and interact with other individuals to expand knowledge and perspectives.
Engaging in the Right Activities
- Participate in activities like playing an instrument, reading regularly, doing puzzles, and practicing meditation.
- Learning a new language increases brain plasticity and challenges cognitive abilities.
Changing Your Lifestyle
- Exercise helps improve cognitive function and mood.
- Eating a balanced diet provides the brain with essential nutrients.
- Prioritizing sleep allows the brain to repair and recharge.
- Stress management techniques are essential for overall well-being.
Intelligence
- Defined as the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.
- Sternberg's Triarchic Theory breaks down intelligence into three interrelated types: Analytical, Creative, and Practical.
Analytical Intelligence (Academic Intelligence)
- Involves analysis, evaluation, comparison, and problem-solving.
- Measured by traditional IQ tests.
- Crucial for logical reasoning and critical thinking.
Creative Intelligence
- Coming up with new solutions to problems and adapting to new situations.
- Thinking divergently and being innovative.
Practical Intelligence
- Adapting to everyday situations and using knowledge effectively.
- "Street smarts"
Linguistic Intelligence
- The ability to use language effectively, including reading, writing, and speaking.
- Common in poets, writers, and orators.
Logical-Mathematical Intelligence
- logical reasoning, problem-solving, and understanding mathematical concepts.
Mind Mapping
- A highly effective method of organizing and processing information.
- Helps you remember and understand new concepts.
- A diagram using branching ideas from a central key word.
- Aids in study and organization.
Mind Mapping Characteristics
- The main idea is represented by a central image.
- Topics of lesser importance are represented as twigs of the relevant branch.
- Branches form a connected network structure.
