Study Notes
Classical Conditioning and Associative Learning
- Ivan Pavlov is associated with classical conditioning
- Classical conditioning involves pairing a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a natural response
- This type of conditioning is used to create a conditioned response to a stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response
Erik Erikson's Psychosocial Development
- The conflict of Trust vs. Mistrust occurs in the first stage of Erik Erikson's psychosocial development, which is Infancy (0-1.5 years)
- Industry vs. Inferiority is the conflict in the fourth stage of Erik Erikson's psychosocial development, which is Middle Childhood (6-12 years)
- In this stage, children must learn to accomplish tasks and take pride in their accomplishments in order to develop a sense of competence
- Intimacy vs. Isolation is the conflict in the sixth stage of Erik Erikson's psychosocial development, Young Adulthood (18-40 years)
- Identity vs. Role Confusion is the conflict in the fifth stage of Erik Erikson's psychosocial development, Adolescence (12-18 years)
- Generativity vs. Stagnation is the conflict in the seventh stage of Erik Erikson's psychosocial development, Middle Adulthood (40-65 years)
Operant Conditioning
- B.F. Skinner is associated with operant conditioning
- The primary focus of operant conditioning is on behaviors that are developed or conditioned through reinforcements
- Reinforcement is a key concept in operant conditioning, which refers to any stimulus that increases the likelihood of a behavior occurring
Theories of Development
- Erik Erikson's theory of development states that individuals advance through stages based on how they adapt to the psychosocial crises of each stage
- Albert Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory states that individuals learn by observing others and the consequences of their actions, and then imitating those behaviors
- Cognitive processes such as attention, memory, and motivation play a crucial role in social learning
Moral Development Theory
- Kohlberg's Moral Development Theory has six stages, with the fourth stage characterized by a focus on maintaining good relations and conforming to societal norms
- This stage is known as the Law and Order orientation, where individuals understand the importance of social norms and laws in maintaining social order

- The fifth stage of Freud's Psychosexual Theory, Genital stage, is associated with a focus on the genital region and the emergence of sexual interests
Cognitive Development Theory
- Piaget's cognitive development theory states that the central concept of schema refers to the mental representation of the real world
- A schema is an organized pattern of thought or behavior that helps individuals understand and make sense of their environment
Senescence
- Senescence refers to the process of aging and declining physical and mental abilities that occur naturally as people get older
Memory and Learning
- Memory consolidation refers to the process that stabilizes and strengthens memories, making them easier to retrieve and recall
- Memory consolidation occurs through the process of consolidation, which involves changes in the strength of neural connections between neurons in the brain
