Study Notes

Development Principles

The scenario describes a child, Laxmi, who initially addresses all females as "mother" due to limited language development but later restricts this specifically to her mother.
This example supports the developmental principle of development proceeds from general to specific.
This principle suggests that children start with broad, generalized concepts and gradually refine them into more specific understandings as their cognitive abilities develop.
In Laxmi's case, her initial understanding of "mother" is broad, encompassing all women, and gradually becomes specific, limited to her biological mother.
