Study Notes
Physical Development in Early Childhood
- Rapid growth and change characterize early childhood
- Motor skills development accompanies physical growth
- Pituitary gland releases growth hormones
- Malnutrition can stunt growth, and environmental factors like lead exposure negatively impact brain development, even unsafe environments
Cognitive Development in Early Childhood
- Children learn, think, and solve problems during early childhood
- Cognitive development is studied by psychologists
- Piaget's theory proposes preoperational stage (ages 2-7) where children are egocentric and use language and imagination
- Vygotsky's theory emphasizes social interaction with the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) helping children learn
Socioemotional Development in Early Childhood
- Rapid development of emotions and relationships

- Moral development is at a pre-conventional level, focused on avoiding punishment or gaining rewards
- Gender differences in emotional expression exist based on societal expectations
Physical Development in Adolescence
- Puberty involves hormonal changes causing significant growth spurts and body composition changes
- Eating disorders like anorexia nervosa, bulimia, and binge-eating issues are problems during adolescence
- Prefrontal cortex and amygdala are still developing, leading to impulsivity and heightened emotional responses
