Development Flashcards
What is attachment?
The emotional dependence of the infant on its mother, this involves resources and security because the infant depends on the mother for these things
Who developed attachment theory and what is it?
John Bowlby
Secure attachment between mother and child affects the child’s ability to form healthy relationships later in life.
Piagets four stages of cognitive development include the sensorimotor stage (age 0-2: object permanence), the stage of preoperational thought(age 2-7: fantasy, symbols, intuitive age, still egocentic) concrete operations (7-11-can put self in someone else shoes), and the formal operations stage(12+: love, success, deductive reasoning). What happens during the concrete operations stage?
- The child begins to deal with information outside him or herself and see things from others’ perspectives.
- develop conservation which is the idea that although objects may change they can maintain characteristics that allow them to be recognized in the same way EX: different leaves may have different shapes and colors but are all leaves
- develop concept of reversibility- things can change form and shape then go back again (ice-water)
When do most children have concept of being either male or female?
Age 2-3
When do friend groups provide the most important relationships?
Adolescence and during this time any deviation in appearance, dress, or behavior can lead to a decrease in self-esteem
What are Erik Erikson’s stages of development?
- Trust vs mistrust (birth-1): ease of feeding and depth of sleep, depends on consistency of caregiver
- Autonomy vs shame and doubt (1-2): child walks, feeds himself. Shame if excessive punishment and self-doubt if feel ashamed
- Initiative vs guilt (3-5): initiates motor and intellectual activities. If made to feel inadequate will develop guilt
- Industry vs inferiority (6-11): building, if worse than peers then inferior
- Ego identity vs role confusion (11 to end of adolescence): inner sameness and community
- Intimacy vs isolation (21-40): forming life long attachments and self-abandonment. Sep if isolated
- Generatively vs. Stagnation (40 to 60): child raising, altruism, guiding. stagnation if isolation, excessive self concern, no intimacy
- Ego integrity vs despair(65+): sense life has been worthwhile, acceptance of one’s place in life. Despair is feeling of loss of hope, fear of death.

What happens in the sensorimotor stage of Piagets stages of cognitive development?
children respond to stimuli in the environment
- develop object permanence and begin to understand symbols (words to express thought)
What happens during the preoperational stage in Piagets stages of cognitive development?
sense that punishment for bad deeds in unavoidable (immanent justice)
- sense of egocentrism and phenomenalistic causality (the thought that events that occur together cause on another)
- animistic thinking (giving thoughts and feeling to inanimate objects)
What happens in the concrete operations stage of piagets stages of cognitive development?
-egocentric thought changes to operational thought, in which anothers point of view can be taken into consideration
- can put things in order and group objects
- understanding of conservation and reversibility
What happens in the formal operations stage?
children can think abstractly, reason deductively and define abstract concepts
Mahler’s stages of separation and individuation
- normal autism- birth to 2 months-spends more time asleep than awake
- symbiosis- 2-5 months-baby is developing inner and outer world- single entity with mother
- differentiation-5-10 months-distinguish from mother
- practicing 10-18 months- babys ability to move independently and explore outsie world
- reapprochement- 18-24 month-independence vacillates with its need for mother-checks in
- object constancy 2-5 years-permanence of people when not present
epigenetic principles
development occurs in sequential clearly defined stages
bowlby and robertson identified three essential stages of separation among children, what are they
- crying and protest, and searching for her
- despair and pain. the child loses faith that mother will return
- detachment and denial of affection to the mother figure on her return
Oral phase
- brith to 1 year
- adults w/ resolution of the oral phase give and receive without excessive dependency or envy
