Study Notes
Theory of Mind
- A child's understanding that others can have beliefs different from their own demonstrates the development of theory of mind.
Piaget's Schema
- Schemas are conceptual frameworks utilized to interpret and organize experiences, according to Piaget.
Maturation
- Refers to biological growth processes that occur with minimal influence from experience.
Piaget's Stages of Cognitive Development
- The correct order of Piaget's cognitive development stages: sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, formal operational.
Fear of Strangers
- Infants typically develop a fear of strangers around 8 months due to their inability to incorporate unfamiliar faces into their schemas.
Secure Attachment
- Responsive parenting significantly promotes secure attachment between infants and mothers.
Insecure Attachment
- A mother who is slow to respond to her infant's distress may foster insecure attachment behavior.
Temperament
- Infants with easy, laid-back temperaments are more likely to develop secure attachments compared to difficult, highly emotional babies.
Basic Trust Development
- According to Erikson, sensitive and responsive parenting leads infants to develop a lifelong attitude of basic trust toward the world.
Importance of Father Involvement
- A British study found that greater paternal involvement is related to enhanced academic achievement in children.
Language and Memory
- Adults can relearn sound contrasts from languages they spoke as children, even without conscious memory of those languages.
Authoritative Parenting
- Parents who possess a balance of demandingness and sensitivity are classified as authoritative.
Neural Connections
- Failure to practice motor skills results in the pruning of unused neural connections, leading to a loss of agility.
Secure Attachment and Stress
- Providing children a safe refuge during times of stress fosters secure attachment.
Accommodation
- Nageeb's changed perception of a "nurse" after encountering a male nurse illustrates the process of accommodation.
Mere Exposure Effect
- Unlike ducklings, children do not imprint but develop affinities for certain individuals through mere exposure.
