Study Notes
Developmental Tasks Overview
- Developmental tasks are key expectations for each stage of growth and development.
- Each developmental stage presents specific tasks to achieve for holistic development.
Prenatal Period
- Spans from conception to birth.
- Characterized by significant growth from a single cell into a fully developed organism with brain functioning and behavioral capabilities.
Infancy
- Lasts from birth to 2 years old.
- Marked by extreme dependence on adults.
- Early psychological activities begin, including language acquisition, symbolic thought, sensorimotor coordination, and initial social learning.
Early Childhood
- Occurs from the end of infancy to 5-6 years, around Kindergarten to Grade 1.
- Focuses on self-sufficiency, personal care, school readiness, social skills, and peer interaction through play.
Middle and Late Childhood
- Encompasses ages 6-11 years, typically covering elementary school years.
- Mastery of fundamental academic skills such as reading, writing, and arithmetic.
- Exposure to broader cultural contexts and societal norms.
- Increased emphasis on achievements and self-control.
Adolescence
- Begins between 10-12 years and continues until approximately 18-22 years of age.
- Characterized by rapid physical changes, including significant increases in height and weight, body contour changes, and sexual maturation.
- Strong pursuit of independence and identity formation.
- Transition toward more logical, abstract, and idealistic thought processes.
- Spending more time outside of the family unit becomes common.
