SEVEN DEVELOPMENTAL APPROACHES 1.Development is lifelong. Development is a lifelong process of change. Each period of the life span is affected by what happened before and will affect what is to come. 2. Development is multidimensional. It occurs along multiple interacting dimensions— biological, psychological, and social. Theory: Coherent set of logically related Organismic theorists see development concepts that seeks to organize, explain, and as discontinuous and has qualitative predict data. Theories inspire further research changes in structure and organization. and predict its results Because this is influence by emerging phenomena not predicted by past Theory and research are interwoven strands in functioning. Organismic theories are the seamless fabric of scientific study. opponents of stage theories. Hypotheses: Possible explanations for phenomena, used to predict the outcome of Five major perspectives: research. (1) psychoanalytic, which focuses on unconscious emotions and drives; Developmental scientist is not always objective (2) learning, which studies observable because theory and research is product of behavior. Learning holds that changes in human individuals influence by their own values and experiences. So, we must scrutinize their behavior result from experience or from adaptation to the environment. work for potential biases. (3) cognitive, which analyzes thought Noble savages: natural tendencies uncorrupted processes. by society. According to Jean Jacques Rosseau. (4) contextual which emphasizes the impact of the historical, social, and cultural context. TWO ISSUES OF DEVELOPMENT (5) evolutionary/sociobiological, which considers evolutionary and biological a) Reactive or non-reactive underpinnings of behavior. Psychologists who believe in reactive development conceptualize the Sigmund Freud: Psychosexual developing child as a hungry sponge Development Freud, believed that that soaks up experiences and is shaped people are born with biological drives by this input over time. This is that must be redirected to make it mechanistic model. possible to live in society. Also believe that early experience influence later Psychologists who believe in active functioning. He proposed three development argue that people create hypothetical parts of the personality: experiences for themselves and are motivated to learn about the world I.D: Pleasure principle around them. Organistic model ED: reality principle b) Continues or non-continuous.

Schizophrenia: Mental disorder marked by loss of contact with reality; symptoms include hallucinations and delusions.

FOUR TYPES OF CRYING Basic hunger cry: rhythmic cry Anger: in the vocal cords Pain: sudden onset of loud crying, sometimes holding the breath. Frustration: two or three drawn out cries A higher pitch and a more monotonic vocalization are associated with autonomic system activity during stressful procedures in infants. social smiling: beginning in the 2nd month, newborn infants gaze at their parents and smile at them, signaling positive participation in the mirror neurons: neurons that fire when a person relationship. does something or observes someone else doing the same thing. Lacks empirical support. anticipatory smiling: infant smiles at an object and then gazes at an adult while still smiling. “easy” children: children with a generally happy temperament, regular biological rhythms, and a readiness to accept new experiences. “difficult” children: children with irritable Less externalizing temperament, irregular biological rhythms, and behaviors intense emotional responses. better than boys at “slow-to-warm-up” children: children whose regulating their temperament is generally mild but who are distress during and hesitant about accepting new experiences. quicker to recover from still-face Goodness of fit: appropriateness of procedures than environmental demands and constraints to a child’s temperament.
