HUMAN GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT: GENERAL THEORIES AND INFANCY – PRESCHOOLER SPECIFICS Dr. Teresa Boyer OBJECTIVES CHAPTER 5 1. Discuss the principles of growth and development. 2. Compare and contrast developmental task theory, psychoanalytic theory, cognitive theory, and the psychosocial theory of growth and development. 3. Outline the major principles involved in moral and spiritual development. 4. Identify conditions that influence growth and development at all ages. 5. Discuss the cognitive and psychosocial challenge for each age group, infant through middle age. 6. Identify common health problem seen in each stage of development. 7. Describe any special assessments unique to each age group. 8. Discuss age-appropriate interventions for each age group. 9. Incorporate developmental principles into nursing care.

JEAN PIAGET COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT THEORY ❖4 Stages ❖ Infancythrough Adolescence ❖ Build on previous stage ❖ Intellectualgrowth is a continual restructuring of knowledge ❖ Learning a result of internal organization of an event and forming a mental plan PIAGET COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT REQUIRES  Adaptation – ability to adjust to and interact with environment  Assimilation – integrating new experiences into own knowledge  Accommodation – change in knowledge that results from processing new information PIAGET’S STAGES Sensorimotor (Birth- 2 yrs.) ✓ Dominated by physical manipulation of objects ✓ Explores world through senses Preoperational (2-7 yrs.) ✓ Developing verbal skills ✓ Thoughts on perception vs logic ✓ Can pretend ✓ Egocentric PIAGET’S STAGES Concrete Operational (7-11 yrs.)
