    Study Notes

    Human Development

    • Human development is an ever-evolving field, encompassing theory and research
    • The field of human development explores the dynamics of human growth and change across the lifespan

    Prenatal Development

    • Prenatal transmission refers to the process of transmission of traits and characteristics from parents to offspring during the prenatal period

    Birth and Physical Development (0-3 years)

    • Physical development during the first three years is characterized by rapid growth and maturation
    • During this stage, infants and toddlers develop physically, cognitively, and socio-emotionally

    Cognitive Development (0-3 years)

    • There are six approaches to cognitive development during the first three years:
      • Sensorimotor stage (Piaget)
      • Information processing approach
      • Core knowledge approach
      • Social constructivist approach
      • Ecological approach
      • Sociocultural approach

    Psychosocial Development (0-3 years)

    • Psychosocial development during the first three years is crucial for forming attachments, emotional regulation, and social interaction

    Physical and Cognitive Development in Early Childhood (4-6 years)

    • Children's physical abilities continue to develop, and cognitive skills expand to include problem-solving and basic math concepts
    • Social-emotional development focuses on cooperation, empathy, and friendships

    Psychosocial Development in Early Childhood (4-6 years)

    • Children develop emotional regulation, self-awareness, and social skills, including cooperation and empathy
    • Peer relationships and friendships become increasingly important

    Physical and Cognitive Development in Middle Childhood (7-10 years)

    • Physical growth slows, but fine motor skills improve, allowing for increased dexterity and coordination
    • Cognitive abilities expand to include more complex problem-solving and critical thinking

    Psychosocial Development in Middle Childhood (7-10 years)

    • Children develop a sense of self, including self-concept and self-esteem
    • Peer relationships and friendships become more complex, with the formation of social hierarchies

    Physical and Cognitive Development in Adolescence (11-14 years)

    • Puberty brings rapid physical growth, changes in body shape, and development of secondary sex characteristics
    • Cognitive abilities continue to expand, including abstract thinking and problem-solving

    Psychosocial Development in Adolescence (11-14 years)

    • Adolescents develop a sense of identity, exploring interests, values, and relationships

    • Cognitive abilities may decline in certain areas, such as memory and processing speed

    Psychosocial Development in Middle Adulthood (40-60 years)

    • Adults in this stage face midlife crises, exploring personal growth, relationships, and life meaning

    Physical and Cognitive Development in Late Adulthood (65+ years)

    • Physical decline accelerates, with increased frailty and susceptibility to disease
    • Cognitive abilities continue to decline, including memory, processing speed, and executive function

    Psychosocial Development in Late Adulthood (65+ years)

    • Older adults face end-of-life issues, including bereavement, loss, and existential concerns
    • Social support networks and emotional well-being become crucial for coping with late-life challenges
