Study Notes
Language Acquisition
- Children first learn the phonology of their language, focusing on sounds that form the foundation for words and grammar.
Differential Treatment and Gender
- Evidence suggests that boys and girls are often treated similarly by parents and adults, challenging the notion of significant differential treatment despite some variations.
Attachment Systems
- The attachment system's primary purpose is protection, ensuring infants remain close to caregivers for safety.
Self-Concept
- Developmental definitions of self-concept are dynamic, hierarchical, and multifaceted, with "unidimensional" being an incorrect descriptor.
Learning and Development
- The zone of proximal development (ZPD) describes the area where learning occurs with assistance from more knowledgeable individuals.
Episodic Representations
- Scripts are mental representations of events' sequences, helping children anticipate outcomes based on repeated experiences.
Discipline Methods
- Power assertion is a discipline method that elicits immediate compliance but also increases anxiety in children.
Neuroplasticity
- An example of neuroplasticity is when transplanted neurons adapt to new functions, such as auditory neurons processing light in the visual cortex.
Developmental Milestones
- Typical motor and visual milestones at four months include rolling over, reaching for objects, and tracking moving visuals.
Piaget's Stages
- The concrete operational stage (ages 7-12) involves logical thinking but remains focused on concrete, tangible concepts rather than abstract ideas.
Concept of Self
- The "Me" aspect of self-concept includes material, social, and spiritual elements defining individual identity.
Memory Types
- Sensory memory maintains a constant capacity across the lifespan, responsible for processing information from senses briefly.
Secure Attachment
- Secure attachment develops when caregivers respond sensitively and consistently to infant cues, fostering trust.
Cognitive Development Assumptions
- Piaget emphasized that children actively construct their knowledge through environmental interactions, rejecting the idea of passive absorption.
Prenatal Factors
- Consequences of prenatal malnutrition can persist throughout life, affecting both physical and cognitive development.
Self-Esteem Strategies
- Children employ various strategies for self-esteem protection; those with low self-esteem may exhibit higher levels of self-protection.
Infant Emotion Regulation
- Infants naturally develop strategies for coping with emotions, evident through responses observed in the still-face paradigm.
Gender Identity Development
- Gender constancy involves recognizing the permanence of gender, contrasting with Tiffany's current understanding of gender stability.
Brain Structure
- The forebrain encompasses the largest brain structures, including the hypothalamus, thalamus, cerebrum, and limbic system.
Stress Response
- The sympathetic nervous system releases adrenaline during stress responses initiated by the amygdala, energizing the body.
Discipline with Young Children
- Time-out as a control method involves love withdrawal, potentially affecting emotional wellbeing.
Theory of Mind
- Theory of mind refers to children's understanding of others' mental states, including intentions and feelings.
Compliance and Discipline
- Gentle discipline and warmth in parent-child relationships are more effective than harsh discipline for compliant behavior in fearless children.
Self-Development Stages
- Self-recognition, early self-esteem, and feelings of autonomy typically manifest around 24-36 months.
Gender Expression and Social Adjustment
- Gender identity plays a greater role in social adjustment for minority children compared to White children.
Theoretical Approach to Development
- Scientific research underpins theories of development, differentiating them from mere opinions.
Piaget's Assimilation Process
- Accommodation in Piaget’s framework modifies existing knowledge structures to incorporate new information.
Cross-Fostering in Research
- Cross-fostering studies illustrate how environmental factors influence genetically pre-determined behaviors.
Peer Interaction
- During middle childhood, children spend significantly more time interacting with same-sex peers compared to mixed-gender interactions.
Continuity in Development
- Theories that propose continuous developmental changes are called incremental models.
Moral Development
- Heteronomous morality is characterized by strict adherence to rules, with an expectation of punishment for violations.
Development of Conscience
- The internalization of societal rules and norms significantly contributes to the development of conscience.
Dyadic Skills in Attachment
- From birth, infants exhibit an intuitive parenting system that facilitates bonding with caregivers.
Self-Concept Correlations
- Physical appearance correlates strongly with overall self-esteem throughout late childhood and into adulthood.
Qualitative Changes in Development
- Stage theories emphasize qualitative changes in behavior and cognitive processes, distinctly differing from incremental models.
Functions of Emotions
- Emotions serve communication, survival, and motivation functions, but researchers do not universally agree on their precise definitions.### Self-Protection in Children
- Children with low self-esteem often implement self-protection strategies to mitigate harm to their self-worth.
Emotional Regulation in Infants
- The still-face paradigm is a method demonstrating infants' ability to engage in self-soothing techniques in reaction to unresponsive caregivers.
Gender Identity in Children
- At age three, children form a gender identity, which includes the awareness of being a specific gender, but may lack an understanding of gender stability and permanence.
- Gender constancy refers to the realization that gender remains unchanged by external appearance or behavior.
Brain Structure
- The forebrain is the largest part of the brain, encompassing structures critical for complex functions, including the hypothalamus and cerebrum.
Stress Responses
- The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for activating 'fight or flight' responses, releasing chemicals like adrenaline in reaction to stress.
Child Discipline
- Time-out represents a power assertion technique, used to encourage toddlers to reflect on their behavior by temporarily removing them from a situation.
Theory of Mind
- Theory of mind reflects a child's understanding of others' beliefs, desires, and intentions, essential for social interaction development.
Parent-Child Relationships
- Fearless children comply better with rules when nurtured in warm relationships, as opposed to compliance derived from fear-based methods.
Self-Development Phases
- Between 15 to 24 months, children demonstrate self-recognition and early self-esteem, indicating feelings of autonomy.
Gender Identity and Social Adjustment
- Research indicates gender identity significantly impacts social adjustment for minority children more than for their White peers.
Theories of Development
- Developmental theories are distinguished from personal opinions by their foundation in scientific research and systematic study.
Cognitive Adaptation
- Accommodation is the cognitive process where children adjust existing knowledge frameworks to integrate new information.
Cross-Fostering Studies
- Cross-fostering studies investigate the influence of rearing environments on behavior by employing non-biological caregivers.
Same-Sex Peer Interaction
- Children in middle childhood typically spend significantly more time—11 times more—with same-sex peers compared to the opposite sex.
Emotion Regulation in Early Infancy
- Signs of emotion regulation, including self-soothing behaviors, can be observed even in young infants.
Societal Impacts on Child Development
- Distal processes, such as governmental policies related to childcare, can indirectly shape a child's developmental environment.
Egalitarianism and Gender Behavior
- Egalitarian cultural environments are associated with reduced differences in gendered behaviors among children.
Epigenesis
- Epigenesis involves environmental influences that modify gene expression, impacting how hereditary material manifests without altering the DNA sequence.
Attachment and Parental Conflict
- High levels of parental arguing and conflict can adversely affect the attachment status and emotional development of infants.
Freud's Psychoanalytic Theory
- In Freud's model, the superego, which embodies ethical standards and societal norms, is the last aspect of personality to develop.
Incremental Models of Development
- Incremental models view development as a continuous and gradual process, differing from stage models that segment growth into distinct stages.
Social Learning Theory
- Albert Bandura's theories emphasize continuous development shaped by environmental interactions.
Piaget's Stages of Moral Development
- Heteronomous morality represents a stage in which children view rules as immutable and believe rule violations result in punishment.
Development of Conscience
- The conscience develops through the internalization of societal rules and helps distinguish right from wrong behavior.
Parent-Infant Bonding
- The orienting system, necessary for social bonding, is an innate skill present from birth, facilitating caregiver engagement.
Factors Influencing Self-Esteem
- Physical appearance is the self-concept domain most strongly correlated with overall self-esteem in late childhood and adolescence.
Qualitative Changes in Development
- Stage theories suggest that development involves qualitative changes, indicating shifts in behavior and cognition across different life stages.
