Study Notes
Interactionism
- Individuals actively interact with their environment
- Environment influences development
- Development is a continuous process
- Individuals are not passive recipients of environmental influences
- Individuals act upon and change their environment
- Development is a product of the interplay between the individual and their environment
Interaction Theory
- Interaction between people and their environment is critical to human development
- People actively contribute to their development
- Environment shapes the individual and the individual shapes the environment
Maturation Theory
- Development unfolds in a fixed order
- Development is based on biological processes
- Development is determined by hereditary factors and not by environmental influences
- Fixed sequences and stages of development occur
- Children develop in predetermined stages
- Environment cannot influence development stages
- Developmental stages must be reached sequentially and in order
Cognitive Development
- Focuses on the mental processes that lead to understanding of the world
- Involves various stages of thinking and learning
- Development progresses from simple to complex thinking
- Interactions with the environment contribute to developmental progression
- Individuals adapt to their environments by developing different ways of thinking and learning
- Building on experiences, children acquire progressively more complex thought processes, leading to a more comprehensive understanding of the world around them.
Conditioning Theory
- Focuses on observable behaviors and their responses to stimuli
- Behavior modification strategies
- Development occurs through learning
- Learning new behaviors through association
Ecological Systems Theory
- A multi-layered analysis of environmental influences on development
- Studies the impact of various environmental systems on individuals
- Considers many factors that affect a person's development
- Provides a comprehensive understanding of how individuals develop
- Highlights the interplay among different levels of the environment
- Recognizes the importance of family, school, and societal contexts
- Explains that one's development is shaped by interactions within these systems.
