    Study Notes

    Overview of Human Development

    • Human development is characterized by progressive changes in a predictable pattern influenced by biological and environmental factors.

    Aspects or Domains of Human Development

    • Physical Development: Involves growth of the body and brain, motor and sensory skills, and overall physical health.
    • Cognitive Development: Encompasses learning capacity, speech, understanding, reasoning, and creativity.
    • Psychosocial Development: Relates to social interactions, emotions, self-identity, personality, beliefs, and values.

    Personality Development vs. Personal Development

    • Personality Development: Focuses on characteristic patterns in thinking, feeling, and behaving, including social etiquette and communication skills.
    • Personal Development: A self-reflective process aimed at understanding oneself, accepting discoveries, and learning new values and behaviors for potential growth.

    Psychology and Human Development

    • Psychology is the study of human thought and behavior, foundational to understanding human development.

    Jean Piaget's Stages of Cognitive Development

    • Sensorimotor Stage (Birth to 2 Years): Knowledge gained through sensory experiences; key challenge includes understanding object permanence.
    • Preoperational Stage (2 to 7 Years): Symbolic thinking using words and pictures; challenge lies in developing logic and perspective-taking.
    • Concrete Operational Stage (7 to 11 Years): Improved logical thinking; overcoming egocentrism but struggles with abstract concepts remain.
    • Formal Operational Stage (12 Years and Beyond): Ability to understand abstract ideas and advanced reasoning.

    Lawrence Kohlberg's Levels of Moral Development

    • Preconventional Morality (until age 9): Morality based on obedience to avoid punishment or seeking rewards.
    • Conventional Morality (adolescents and adults): Right and wrong determined by social approval and adherence to laws.
    • Postconventional Morality: Higher moral reasoning based on social contracts and universal ethical principles aimed at equality.

    Sigmund Freud's Psychosexual Development Stages

    • Emphasizes instincts as life energy sources and defines five stages, where satisfaction is crucial to avoid fixation.
    • Oral Stage (1st Year): Focus on oral pleasure-related activities; fixation can lead to habits like smoking or overeating.
    • Anal Stage (2nd to 4th Year): Pleasure derived from controlling bowel movements; fixations can lead to cleanliness obsession or messiness.
    • Phallic Stage (4th to 6th Year): Recognition of gender differences; conflicts such as Oedipus and Electra complex may arise.
    • Latency Stage (7th onward): Focus on developing social and academic skills while inhibiting sexual urges.
    • Genital Stage (12th onward): Formation of sex role identity.
