Study Notes
Psychosexual Development Stages
- Latency Stage (ages 7-11): Child develops socially, with sexual urges quiet.
- Genital Stage (ages 11-adult): Adolescent matures in dealing with the opposite sex, fostering intimacy.
Erikson's Psychosocial Development
- Intimacy vs. Isolation: Young adults face challenges in forming close relationships, risking social isolation.
- Generativity vs. Stagnation (Adulthood): Middle-aged individuals seek to contribute meaningfully, often through family.
Cognitive Development Stages (Piaget)
- Concrete Operational Stage (ages 7-11): Children develop logical reasoning and understand intimacy; may feel socially isolated.
- Formal Operational Stage (ages 12-adult): Abstract thinking emerges, with the ability to formulate hypothetical concepts.
Theories of Learning
- Behaviors shaped by culture and language, highlighting social interaction's role in developing cognitive abilities.
- Behaviorism (Watson): Focus on observable actions; established through experiments like "Little Albert."
- Classical Conditioning (Pavlov): Learning through the association of stimuli.
- Operant Conditioning (Skinner): Behaviors reinforced by positive outcomes are likely to recur.
Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory
- Zone of Proximal Development: The gap between what a learner can do independently versus with guidance.
- Scaffolding: An approach to support learners, enhancing their ability to tackle challenges with help.
Bandura's Social Learning Theory
- Highlights the role of observation in learning; mental states are crucial for understanding and imitation.
Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory
- Emphasizes interconnected environmental systems that influence individual development, such as family, school, and broader societal contexts.
- Chronosystem: Reflects changes over time, including family dynamics and societal events.
Ethological Perspectives
- Konrad Lorenz: Introduced imprinting, suggesting that attachment behaviors are instinctive and irreversible.
- Critical Periods: Key phases during which specific skills and behaviors must be learned to develop effectively.
Cognitive Structures (Schemas)
- Schemas are cognitive frameworks for organizing and interpreting information, crucial for understanding the world.
Key Concepts
- Freudian Slip: Errors revealing unconscious thoughts.
- Secondary and Tertiary Circular Reactions: Stages of child development marked by intentional actions and experimentation.
- Sensitive Period: Times of heightened receptivity to learning a particular skill, less effective after this period.
Summary of Key Figures
- John B. Watson: Behaviorism pioneer, emphasized learned behaviors.
- Albert Bandura: Social Learning Theory, demonstrated learning through observation.
- Burrhus Skinner: Focused on reinforcement and behavior modification through operant conditioning.
- Urie Bronfenbrenner: Developed a systems theory to understand ecological models of human development.
