    Study Notes

    Major Assignments

    • Media analysis project, observation paper, and final exam are key assignments in the course.
    • Support options for challenging material include reaching out to the professor and utilizing campus resources.

    Grading and Policies

    • Anonymous grading is implemented to eliminate bias, with student identities hidden during grading and revealed post-grade release.
    • Last submission for late work is due by December 8th; no late submissions accepted for exams or community contributions.

    Periods of Development

    • Prenatal Development: From conception to pregnancy.
    • Infancy and Toddlerhood (0-2 years): Significant changes occur; infants have excellent hearing but poor vision, and toddlers begin walking.
    • Early Childhood (3-5 years): Language development, increased independence, and fear of disapproval are key characteristics.
    • Middle Childhood (6-11 years): Focus shifts to academic accomplishments and refinement of motor skills alongside developing social relationships.
    • Adolescence (12 years and older): Marked by puberty, cognitive changes, and exploration of love, fear, and a sense of invincibility.

    Principles of Development

    • Cognitive Development includes perception, intelligence, memory, problem-solving, language, and wisdom.
    • Physical Development encompasses fine motor skills, sensory development, nervous system maturation, height, and weight changes.
    • Social-emotional Development addresses self-perception, relationships, and emotional regulation.

    Research Methods

    • Observational Studies: Participants are watched and recorded devoid of interference.
    • Experiments: Verify hypotheses in a controlled setting, involving independent and dependent variables, samples, experimental, and control groups.
    • Case Studies: Detailed analysis of a specific instance or event.
    • Surveys: Use questionnaires and Likert scales for data collection.
    • Longitudinal Research: Measures the same individuals across different times.
    • Cross-sectional Research: Surveys various groups at one point in time.
    • Sequential Research: Combines longitudinal and cross-sectional methods with different groups starting at the same age.

    Imposter Syndrome

    • Characterized by feelings of being a fraud, where individuals believe they do not deserve accomplishments and may avoid risks due to perfectionism or comparison to others.

    Developmental Theories

    • Sigmund Freud: Psychosexual theory divided into stages emphasizing id, ego, and superego development.
    • Erik Erikson: Psychosocial theory highlighting the importance of social relationships and identity formation through eight stages, from trust vs. mistrust to integrity vs. despair.
    • Ivan Pavlov: Introduced classical conditioning; observed conditioned responses (salivating dogs).
    • John B. Watson: Established classical conditioning’s role in emotional responses (Little Albert experiment).
    • B.F. Skinner: Promoted operant conditioning; emphasized reinforcement over punishment.
    • Albert Bandura: Proposed social learning theory, highlighting imitation over conditioning.
    • Jean Piaget: Cognitive development theory proposing four stages: sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational.
    • Lev Vygotsky: Sociocultural theory emphasizing guided participation and the zone of proximal development.
    • Urie Bronfenbrenner: Introduced the ecological systems model, detailing various influencing environments in child development.

    Identity and Self Concept

      • Peer influence peaks in mid-adolescence, affecting style and taste positively or negatively.
      • Parental influence shapes moral principles and future goals.

    Cognitive and Emotional Changes

    • Adolescents experience mood swings; their prefrontal cortex develops gradually, affecting thinking and emotional regulation.
    • Cognitive empathy improves in adolescence, allowing better perspective-taking and concern for others.

    Adolescent Health

    • Adolescents require about 9.5 hours of sleep but typically only get 7.5 hours; their circadian clocks can cause shifts in sleep patterns.

    Cognitive Development

    • Hypothetical Thinking: Expands in adolescent stage due to Piaget's formal operational stage, enabling consideration of multiple solutions.
    • David Elkind's Concepts:
      • Adolescent Egocentrism: Teen focus on self.
      • Imaginary Audience: Belief that others are as concerned about them as they are.
      • Personal Fable: View of oneself as unique.
      • Invincibility Fable: Feeling of immunity to harm.

    Puberty Impact on Development

    • Involves a sequence regulated by the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and gonads, resulting in primary (reproductive organs) and secondary (physical changes) sex characteristics.
    • Girls typically undergo growth spurts earlier than boys.

    Growth Mindset

    • Emphasizes the value of effort over rigid outcomes; praise should encourage growth to avoid limiting risk-taking behavior due to fear of not meeting expectations.
