Study Notes
Psychosocial Development Stages
- Early adulthood focuses on personal relationships; successful navigation results in the virtue of love.
- Adults strive for generativity, nurturing things that outlast them, often through child-rearing or positive societal contributions, leading to feelings of usefulness.
- Adults experiencing stagnation may become disengaged, resulting in shallow involvement with the world.
- In old age, individuals reflect on their lives, seeking integrity or facing despair based on fulfillment of life achievements and regrets.
- Achieving integrity involves looking back with satisfaction, leading to wisdom despite confronting mortality.
Infancy Development Stages
- Vision is underdeveloped at birth; newborns have smaller eyes and incomplete retinal structures.
- Motor skills such as grasping, crawling, and walking emerge naturally without direct teaching; exploration environment is key.
- Piaget's sensorimotor stage (birth to age 2): infants learn about their surroundings through sensory and motor activities.
Early Childhood Development Stages
- Physical development: rapid growth, increased coordination, enhanced physical stamina due to maturing bodily systems.
- Between ages three and six, children develop a more adult-like physique as their body proportions change.
- Motor development enhances gross motor skills like running and jumping, while fine motor skills improve through activities like buttoning shirts and drawing.
- Piaget's preoperational stage (2 to 7 years): symbolic thought expands; children start using words and images to represent objects and ideas.
Cognitive Advances in Early Childhood
- Children begin using symbols and may think about objects and people without direct interaction; this marks growing representational ability.
- Significant improvements in understanding concepts like space, causality, identity, categorization, and number occur during this stage.
- Children engage in imaginative play, realizing objects can have different properties beyond their actual form.
Stage Theories of Development
- Sensorimotor Stage (Birth to 2 Years): Knowledge acquired through sensory experiences and actions; object permanence and separation awareness develop.
- Preoperational Stage (2 to 7 Years): Emergence of symbolic thinking and language; children remain egocentric and think concretely.
- Moral Development (Conventional Level): Includes two stages where individuals become aware of societal norms and relationships—'Good Boy/Girl Attitude' and adherence to law and order.
- Postconventional Level: Involves understanding abstract moral principles; includes concepts of justice and individual rights, culminating in loyalty to universal principles of ethics.
Key Takeaways
- Emphasis on the importance of relationships and generativity in adulthood for fulfillment and societal contribution.
- Developmental stages crucially shape cognitive and motor skills, with Piaget's framework highlighting the evolution of thinking and understanding in children.
- Moral development progresses from self-interest to understanding societal norms and eventually universal ethics.
