Study Notes
Cognitive Development
-
Piaget's Theory:
- Four stages of cognitive development:
- Sensorimotor (0-2 years): understanding through sensory experiences
- Preoperational (2-7 years): egocentric thinking, lack of conservation
- Concrete Operational (7-11 years): logical thinking, understanding of concrete objects
- Formal Operational (11+ years): abstract thinking, logical reasoning
- Four stages of cognitive development:
-
Information Processing:
- Encoding: processing information from environment
- Storage: retaining information in memory
- Retrieval: accessing stored information
-
Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory:
- Emphasis on social interaction and culture in shaping cognitive development
- Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD): learning potential with guidance from more knowledgeable others
Social Development
-
Attachment Theory:
- Secure attachment: warm, responsive caregiving
- Insecure attachment: anxious, avoidant, or disorganized caregiving
-
Erikson's Psychosocial Theory:
- Eight stages of psychosocial development, each with a crisis or conflict to resolve
- Examples: Trust vs. Mistrust (infancy), Identity vs. Role Confusion (adolescence)
-
Peer Relationships:
- Importance of peer relationships in social development
- Influence of peer relationships on social skills, self-esteem, and behavior
Language Development
-
Language Acquisition Device (LAD):
- Innate ability to acquire language
- Universal Grammar: set of rules and principles underlying all languages
-
Stages of Language Development:
- Babbling (6-9 months): experimenting with sounds and syllable structure
- Holophrastic Stage (9-18 months): using single words to convey meaning
- Telegraphic Speech (18-24 months): using short sentences with key words
-
Influence of Environment on Language Development:
- Importance of linguistic input and interaction with caregivers
- Effects of bilingualism and multilingualism on language development
Moral Development
-
Lawrence Kohlberg's Theory:
- Six stages of moral development, each with a higher level of moral understanding
- Pre-conventional (stages 1-2): focus on punishment and obedience
- Conventional (stages 3-4): focus on social norms and expectations
- Post-conventional (stages 5-6): focus on individual principles and universal morality
-
Gilligan's Ethics of Care:
- Emphasis on caring and responsibility in moral decision-making
- Critique of Kohlberg's theory for being overly focused on justice
-
Moral Development in Childhood:
- Understanding of moral rules and consequences
- Development of empathy and prosocial behavior
Cognitive Development
-
Piaget's Theory:
- Divided into four stages:
- Sensorimotor (0-2 years): understanding through sensory experiences and motor activities
- Preoperational (2-7 years): characterized by egocentric thinking and lack of conservation
- Concrete Operational (7-11 years): marked by logical thinking and understanding of concrete objects
- Formal Operational (11+ years): characterized by abstract thinking and logical reasoning
-
Information Processing:
- Involves three stages:
- Encoding: processing information from the environment
- Storage: retaining information in memory
- Retrieval: accessing stored information
-
Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory:
- Emphasizes the role of social interaction and culture in shaping cognitive development
- Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD): learning potential with guidance from more knowledgeable others
