Study Notes
Lifespan Development
- Lifespan development is the study of human development from conception through death.
- Developmentalists use naturalistic observations, case studies, surveys, and experiments.
- Humans experience cognitive, physical and psychosocial development.
Theories of Development
- Freud's psychosexual theory describes personality development and is shaped by early childhood experiences.
- Erikson's theory of psychosocial development includes eight stages across the lifespan, each associated with a different drive and a problem or crisis to resolve.
- Piaget's theory of cognitive development describes how children construct understanding of the world through sensory experiences and actions.
Stages of Development
- Freud’s theory includes the following stages: oral, anal, phallic, latency, and genital.
- Erikson's psychosocial stages of development are: trust vs mistrust, autonomy vs shame and doubt, initiative vs guilt, industry vs inferiority, identity vs role confusion, intimacy vs isolation, generativity vs stagnation, and integrity vs despair.
- Piaget's stages are: Sensorimotor (birth to 2 years), Preoperational (2 to 7 years), Concrete Operational (7 to 11 years), and Formal Operational (11 years to adulthood).
Key Terms
- Object permanence: the understanding that objects exist even when out of view.
- Conservation: the ability to understand that the amount of a substance remains the same even when its appearance changes.
- Egocentricity: the inability to take another person’s viewpoint.
- Theory of Mind: the understanding that people have minds and that these minds contain thoughts, beliefs, and feelings.
Research Methods
- Cross-sectional design: collects data from different age groups at one point in time.
- Longitudinal design: collects data on the same individuals at different points in time.
- Longitudinal sequential design: combines cross-sectional and longitudinal designs by recruiting people of different ages and following those same people at different points in time.
Nature vs. Nurture
- Nature refers to genetics and what we are born with.
- Nurture refers to environment and how we are raised.
- Evidence suggests that nature and nurture interact to shape development.
- The debate now focuses on their relative contributions rather than which best explains behavior.
