Study Notes
Human Growth and Development
- Human development is a multidirectional journey, involving gains and losses across the lifespan.
- Key principles underpinning understanding include lifelong change, multi-directionality, multidimensionality, and plasticity.
- Development encompasses physical, cognitive, and social/emotional domains.
- Physical development includes changes in height, weight, motor skills, sensory abilities, and susceptibility to illness.
- Cognitive development encompasses changes in intelligence, perception, problem-solving, memory, and language.
- Social/emotional (psychosocial) development focuses on emotions, self-perception, and interpersonal relationships (families, peers, and friends).
- Development is characterized by plasticity, meaning characteristics are pliable and influenced by early experiences.
- Maturation is the developmental process that occurs independent of learning.
- Growth is the increase in mass and size of the body and its organs.
- Growth occurs through cell multiplication and increases in intracellular substances.
- Growth is continuous but varies in rate throughout life, fastest until maturity.
- Ossification is bone formation, crucial for skeletal stability.
- Stages of human growth start in fetal life, complete by adolescence (different bone types).
- Growth is reflected in height and weight increase.
- Adolescence is a period of significant growth spurt (height and weight) and sexual maturation (puberty).
- Timing and speed of changes are influenced by heredity and environment.
- Change in size and function of internal organs happens alongside physical growth.
- Maturation is a key aspect of development, taking place independently of specific experience.
Stages of Development (Prenatal-Adulthood)
- Prenatal stage: conception to birth.
- Infancy and Toddlerhood: birth to age two.
- Early Childhood: age two to six.
- Middle and Late Childhood: age six to puberty.
- Adolescence: onset of puberty to age 18.
- Emerging Adulthood: age 18 to 25.
- Early Adulthood: age 25 to 40-45.
- Middle Adulthood: age 40-45 to 60-65.
- Late Adulthood: age 65 onward.
Erikson's Psychosocial Theory
- Erik Erikson's theory emphasizes psychosocial development across the entire lifespan.
- Stages include conflicts that impact self-identity and competence each stage provides a chance for growth, or failure.
-
Stages:
- Trust vs. Mistrust (Infancy)
- Autonomy vs. Shame/Doubt (Early Childhood)
- Initiative vs. Guilt (Preschool Years)
- Industry vs. Inferiority (School Years)
- Identity vs. Role Confusion (Adolescence)
- Intimacy vs. Isolation (Early Adulthood)
- Generativity vs. Stagnation (Middle Adulthood)
- Integrity vs. Despair (Late Adulthood)
