    Study Notes

    Types of Development

    • Development includes physical, cognitive, social, and personality domains, with social and personality often combined.

    Physical Development

    • Involves body’s physical structure, brain, nervous system, muscles, and senses; includes basic needs like food, drink, and sleep.

    Cognitive Development

    • Encompasses growth and changes in intellectual capabilities that affect behavior.

    Social Development

    • Focuses on how individuals interact with others and how these relationships evolve over time.

    Personality Development

    • Refers to the enduring characteristics that distinguish one individual from another and how they change over a lifespan.

    Structure of Personality

    • Consists of three parts:
      • Id: Basic, instinctual drives present at birth.
      • Ego: Rational mediator that manages the id and reality.
      • Superego: Conscience that internalizes societal values of right and wrong.

    Theoretical Perspectives

    Psychodynamic Perspective

    • Behavior is driven by unconscious forces from childhood (Freud's theory).
    Freud’s Psychosexual Stages
    • Oral (0-18 months): Focus on oral gratification.
    • Anal (18 months-3 years): Toilet training importance.
    • Phallic (3-6 years): Interest in genitals and identification with the same-sex parent.
    • Latency (6-adolescence): Sexual interests temporarily suppressed.
    • Genital (adolescence-adulthood): Reawakening of sexual interests.

    Psychosocial Development (Erikson)

    • Eight stages emphasizing social interaction:
      • Trust vs. Mistrust (Birth - 1.5 years)
      • Autonomy vs. Shame (1.5 - 3 years)
      • Initiative vs. Guilt (3 - 6 years)
      • Industry vs. Inferiority (6 - adolescence)
      • Identity vs. Role Confusion (Adolescence)
      • Intimacy vs. Isolation (Early adulthood)
      • Generativity vs. Stagnation (Middle adulthood)
      • Integrity vs. Despair (Late adulthood)

    Behavioral Perspective

    • Focus on observable behavior and environmental stimuli's role in shaping development.
    Learning Theories
    • Classical Conditioning: Learning through association.
    • Operant Conditioning: Responses strengthened/weakened by consequences (Skinner).
    • Social Cognitive Learning: Learning through observation and imitation (Bandura).

    Humanistic Perspective

    • Emphasizes free will and the drive to realize one’s potential (Rogers, Maslow).

    Contextual Perspective

    • Considers interrelationships between various aspects of development.
    Bronfenbrenner’s Bioecological Model
    • Five environmental systems:
      • Microsystem: Immediate environments (family, school).
      • Mesosystem: Connections between microsystems.
      • Exosystem: Broader societal influences (schools, community).
      • Macrosystem: Larger cultural influences (laws, values).
      • Chronosystem: Changes and transitions over time.
    Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory
    • Highlights the role of social interactions and culture in cognitive development.

    Evolutionary Perspective

    • Proposes behavior is influenced by genetic inheritance and adaptive traits that promote survival (Darwin, Lorenz).

    Information Processing Approach

    • Explores how individuals process, store, and retrieve information.

    Sensitive vs. Critical Periods

    • Critical Period: Specific time for necessary developmental stimuli; absence can disrupt normal development.
    • Sensitive Period: Time of heightened susceptibility to certain stimuli, absence may not lead to irreversible consequences.

    Developmental Questions

    • Monoism vs. Dualism: Examines the nature of the mind and body relationship.
    • Discontinuous vs. Continuous Change:
      • Continuous: Gradual development with cumulative achievements.
      • Discontinuous: Staged development with qualitative changes.
    • Nature vs. Nurture: Interaction of inherited traits (nature) and environmental influences (nurture) in shaping behavior.

    Cognitive Development (Piaget)

    • Concepts:
      • Schemas: Organized mental patterns reflecting behaviors.
      • Assimilation: Fitting new experiences into existing schemas.
      • Accommodation: Modifying schemas in response to new experiences.
    • Both processes work together to facilitate cognitive growth.

    Individualism vs. Collectivism

    • Examines cultural perspectives on self-identity and social relationships.
