Developmental Psychology - Branch of psychology Development as Continuous/Quantitative concerned with changes in physical, cognitive, psychological, - development occurs in small incremental changes and social functioning that occur throughout the lifespan. - easy to predict - changes in the number or amount Lifespan Development - womb to tomb Development as Discontinuous/Qualitative Human Development - Focuses on the scientific study of the - Development is marked by the emergence of new systematic process of change and stability, in people. phenomena that could not be easily predicted. - Stages build upon each other and cannot be skipped.

Contexts of Development Normative Influences - events that occur in a similar Domains of Development way for most people in a group Physical (growth of the body or brain, muscle groups, Normative Age-Graded - particular age group health) Normative History-Graded - historical generation Cognitive (pattern of changes in mental abilities and - not necessarily the same age problem solving abilities) Nonnormative Influences - unusual events that have Psychosocial (emotions, personality, and social a major impact on individual lives because they relationships) disturb the expected sequence of the life cycle. - Typical events at an atypical time or atypical Developmental Principles events. Development is lifelong. (throughout the lifespan) Development is multidimensional (This means that Developmental Research Designs development encompasses various areas of life like Cross-sectional - different ages assessed at one emotional, cognitive, economic, social, etc.) point in time; for age-related differences Development is multidirectional (In one area you can Longitudinal - same group more than once over time gain while lose on the other) (Attrition - the gradual loss of respondents over the life of Relative influences of biology and culture shift over longitudinal research the lifespan Cohort Effect - where the characteristics of the group impact the Development involves changing resource allocations. results of the study and are common on comparing results from different age groups) (child - growth / young adult to middle adulthood - maintenance) Sequential - combines two approaches Development shows plasticity.

Perspectives on Human Development First 3 Stages: most crucial for personality Psychoanalytic - early experiences and unconscious development. forces (Freud and Erikson) Too much or too little gratification > fixation Learning - change based on experience or Fixation - arrest in development that can show up in adaptation to the environment (Skinner and Pavlov) adult personality. Cognitive - thought processes (Piaget) Contextual - development can only be understood in Psychosexual Stages Fixations its social context Oral - overeating, excessive drinking, biting pencils, too much Ethological/ Evolutionary - based on animal talking (EZ. Mouth) behaviors and tied to evolution Anal - (EZ.

Inhibition - This individual avoids taking risks and often feels stuck, unable to pursue their goals due to fear of failure or disapproval. Inertia - This individual feels incapable of achieving anything and often gives up easily, lacking motivation and a sense of self-efficacy. Repudiation - This individual rejects their own identity and struggles to find a sense of belonging in the world. Exclusion - This individual avoids close relationships and isolates themselves from love, friendship, and community, potentially developing bitterness or resentment as a result. Rejectivity - This individual becomes self-absorbed and loses interest in contributing to society or nurturing others. Disdain - This individual develops a sense of bitterness and contempt for life, both their own and others'. Cognitive Development (Piaget) - children's cognitive development advances in a series of four stages involving qualitatively distinct types of mental operations Sensorimotor (0 - 2 years) - sensory and motor activity - reflexes - Circular Reactions → Infant learns to reproduce events - object permanence (infants know an object or person still exists even when they are hidden and they can't see or hear them.) Preoperational (2 - 7 years) - Symbolic Function & Intuitive thought language - Centration → focus only on one aspect - Transductive Reasoning.→ flawed reasoning; connect unrelated events MALADAPTATION: - Egocentrism→ inability to understand another Sensory Distortion/Sensory Maladjustment - This involves an person's POV overly trusting and gullible individual who believes everyone has good intentions and struggles to accept any wrongdoing. - Animism → attribute life to inanimate objects Impulsiveness/Shameless Willfulness - This individual acts without Concrete Operational (around 11 years) considering consequences, lacks self-control and often jumps into - Decentering. → look at more than 1 aspect at once situations without proper planning. - Conservation → substance changes shape but Ruthlessness - This individual lacks empathy and compassion, often acting selfishly and without regard for others' feelings. remains constant Narrow Virtuosity - This individual focuses on a single area of - Seriation → arrange according to dimension competence, neglecting other areas of development and potentially ex. shortest to longest becoming overly specialized.

Overextension - This individual becomes overly involved in work or Formal Operational (7 - 12 years) other activities, neglecting their own needs and potentially - Abstract thought experiencing burnout. - Hypothetical-Deductive Reasoning. → create and test Presumption - This individual assumes they have achieved ego integrity without truly confronting the challenges of aging and hypothesis; think about possibilities potentially becoming out of touch with reality. Cognitive Development (Piaget) occurs through 3 related MALIGNANCY: processes: Withdrawal - Characterized by depression, paranoia, and potentially psychosis, this individual struggles to trust anyone and often isolates Organization → create categories by observing common themselves. characteristics - Schema (are units of understanding that can be hierarchically categorized as well as webbed into complex relationships with one another. Cognitive Structure) Adaptation→ handling new information Assimilation→ Incorporate new info into existing schema Disequilibrium (a state of cognitive imbalance. We experience such a state of imbalance when encountering information that requires us to develop new schema or modify existing schema) Accommodation → adjust schema to fit new info Equilibration→ constant strive for balance in cognitive structures and new experience Immature Aspects of Adolescent Thought Imaginary Audience - Assume everyone else is thinking about the same thing they are thinking about themselves. Personal Fable - the belief that they are special, their experience is unique, and they are not subject to the rules that govern the rest of the world Classical Conditioning (Ivan Pavlov) - An unconditioned stimulus is repeatedly paired with a neutral stimulus. (Partial - best to maintain a behavior) Operant Conditioning (B.F. Skinner) - learning based on the association of behavior with its consequences. terms: fixed - consistent variable - inconsistent ratio - no. of responses interval - time (Ex. Fixed-Ratio: After baking 30 pieces of brownies, the workers are given 100 Bioecological Theory (Bronfenbrenner) pesos. Microsystem - immediate physical and social environment Fixed-Interval: Rafayel's mother told him that if he finished washing the dishes in 15 minutes, she would give him 100 pesos. Mesosystem - interrelationship between or more Variable-Ratio: Jennie got a plushie after two tries. However, in another machine, microsystems it took her 50 tries. Exosystem - social settings NOT directly experienced but Variable-Interval: Rain does not know when the next jeepney will come. Sometimes it comes after only 5 minutes, sometimes it takes as long as 20 affects individual minutes.) Macrosystem - cultural or societal context Chronosystem - time, life transitions Social Learning Theory (Bandura) - Development is bidirectional Reciprocal determinism → The person acts on the world as the world acts on the person. Observational learning → learning through watching the behavior of others. 3 Attachment Styles (Ainsworth) Strange Situation - designed to assess attachment patterns 4 IDENTITY STATUSES (MARCIA) between infants and adults. - when the caregiver is there - when caregiver leaves - when caregiver returns 1.

This anxiety plays an essential role in the departed from psychoanalytic thinking by taking formation of the super ego—a strong super ego childhood as its starting point and then extrapolating develops during this stage, particularly in boys, and it forward to adulthood greatly influences their moral development. This is investigators should study childhood directly and not part of the Oedipus complex, where the boy rely on distorted retrospective accounts from adults (It identifies with his father, fearing castration, but also means do not interview an individual on what happened to develops feelings of desire toward his mother. them on the past–just like what Freud's do on his patients, if For the female child, the situation is different.

Selfobjects (adults) treat infants as if they had a sense of self (Ex. ‘Ay umiiyak si baby' - making the infant knows that they have sense of self.) Infants are naturally narcissistic (self-centeredness), early self have* two basic narcissistic needs Need to exhibit grandiose self - established when infant relates to a mirroring selfobject; reflects approval of its behavior. (Ex. Ginaya ang pagbubuhat ng caregiver at yung caregiver sasabihan siya ng ‘ay ang galing-galing mo naman magbuhat’. It makes the infant do it again for the sake of praise or validation.)

(According to Kohut, one of the things that the caregiver should give towards their infant is emphatic interaction. Because if caregiver failed to give the infant an emphatic interaction it can result to low self-esteem that can leads to need to exhibit grandiose self and need to acquire idealized image of one or both parents self.) COGNITIVE STAGE THEORY JEAN PIAGET Development is the product of children's attempts to understand and act upon their world.
