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
- Erikson's Psychosocial Stages: Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (ages 1-3), and Initiative vs. Guilt (ages 3-5)
- 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
Cognitive Development in Adolescence
- Formal operational stage, allowing abstract thought and logical reasoning
- Adolescents may still display egocentrism (believing experiences are unique or that everyone is watching them)
Socioemotional Development in Adolescence
- Erikson's Identity vs. Role Confusion stage (ages 17-22), where teens explore identity and roles
- Peer influence is significant for emotional support and validation
- Emotional regulation is still developing, leading to potential mood swings
Theories of Intelligence
- Howard Gardner proposed multiple intelligences (musical, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, etc.)
- Robert Sternberg's triarchic theory focuses on analytical, creative, and practical intelligences
Adolescence Identity Formation
- James Marcia developed four identity statuses (diffusion, foreclosure, moratorium, and achievement) that describes adolescence identity formation, highlighting different stages an adolescent goes through as they develop a better undestanding of themselves and their role in society.
