Theories of Moral Development
Social and Emotional Development
Piaget’s Moral Development
Kohlberg’s Theory of Moral Development
Stages of Piaget’s Theory of Moral Development
Moral Development
Premoral (0-5)
Heteronomous (begins 5)
Autonomous ( begins 10-11)
Premoral Stage
Piaget’s Theory of Moral Development
limited understanding of rules
0-5 years old
Heteronomous stage
Piaget’s stages of Moral Development
- Rules are absolute and unchangeable
- How bad an action is based on how severe the consequence
- starts age 5
Autonomous stage of Moral Development
Piaget’s Moral Development Stages
Rules are agreements between people; alterable
begin age 10 or 11
What age do children intentionally lie according to Piaget?
Age 7
(but actually research suggests children age 3 or 4 lie to avoid punishment)
Levels of Kolhberg’s Theory of Moral Development
Level 1: Preconventional
Level 2: Conventional
Level 3: Post Conventional
Age of transition from conventional to postconventional moral level?
Kolhberg’s Theory of Moral Development
late adolescent to early adulthood
Age of transition from preconventional to conventional moral level?
Kolhberg’s Theory of Moral Development
10 or 11 years old
Convetional level children determine good vs. bad actions based on the….
Kolhberg’s Theory of Moral Development
If they are liked by other; in accordance with rules and laws
Postconventional level adolescents determine good vs. bad actions based on the….
Kolhberg’s Theory of Moral Development
democratic laws and universal principles
Preconventional level children determine good vs. bad actions based on the….
Kolhberg’s Theory of Moral Development
Consequences
Punished = bad action
Rewarded = good action
Similar to heteronomous stage of Piaget’s model for 5-10 year olds
Attachment Theories
- Contact Comfort (Zimmerman)
- Ethological Theory-Biological Progressive Attachment (Bowlby)
- Feeding (Freud)
- Internal Working Model (Bowlby)
Attachment develops around what age?
6 or 7 months
“Social Referencing” (i.e. “visual cliff” behavior) develops at what age?
Attachment Signs
6 months
Separation Anxiety develops at what age?
Peaks at what age?
Attachment Signs
6 months
14-18 months
Outcomes of prolonged separation based on age.
no damage vs. damage?
Seperation before 3 months = o.k.
Seperation after 9 months = mod. to severe
Stages of response to prolonged separation (Bowlby)
Protest
Despair
Detachment
Four attachment patterns in childhood
Based on Ainsworth strange situatio
- Secure Attachement
- Anxious/Avoidance
- Anxious/Resistant
- Disorganized/Disoriented
Disorganized/Disoriented Attachment
- alternate between avoidance and proximity
- appear dazed, confused, apprehensive
often maltreated by caregivers
Anxious/Resistant Attachment
- anxious when Mom present
- distress when Mom leaves; ambivalent when return
- wary of strangers even when Mom present
Caused by inconsistent response of enthusiasm vs. indfference
Anxious/Avoidant Attachment
- no exploration (uninterested in environ)
- no distress when Mom leaves; avoid contact when return
- may or may not be wary of strangers
Secure Attachment
- Explore with or without Mom
- Distress when Mom leaves; contact when return
- Prefers mom to strangers but friendly when Mom present
Secure/Autonomous Attachment
Adult Attachment Styles
- coherent description of early attachment relationships
- integrate pos. and neg. experiences
- not angry
Children are secure
Preoccupied Attachment Style
Adult Attachment Styles
- confused, incoherent, angry
- childhood involved disappointment and role reversal
children Anxious/Resistant Ambivalent
Dismissing Attachment
Adult Attachment Styles
- guarded and defensive
- idealize parent but no concrete examples
3/4 of children are anxious/avoidant
Unresolved Attachment Style
Adult Attachment Styles
- adults experienced severe trauma and not resolved trauma
- childhood abusive or neglectful
children disorganized or disoriented
Early Emotions (birth)
interest, disgust, distress,
sadness, joy, surprise, fear
Early Emotions (15 months to 2 years)
self-conscious/social emotions
envy, empathy, embarassment
Theories of Language Development
Behavioral Theories
Nativist Theories (Chomsky)
Cogntive Theories (Bowerman)
Behavioral Theories of Language
Language = reinforcement and imitation
ex. motherese and recasting
Nativist Theories of Language
Language = innate, biologically determined, sensitive period
ex. LAD from Chomsky
Cognitive Theories of Language Development
Bowerman states language is used to express cognition already formulated in mind; independent from language
Children are born with 3 cries
basic (hunger)
pain
angry
Children learn to cry for attention at ____ weeks
3 weeks
Sequence of Language Development (1 month to 9 months)
Cooing (1-2);
Babbling (4-6),
Echolalia and Expressive Jargon (9+)
Sequence of Language Development (10 months to 24 months)
First Words (10-15 months)
Holophrastic Speech (single words used to express sentences; 12-18; 1yr),
Telegraphic Speech (uses two words to express sentence: 18-24; 1.5 yr)
Sequence of Language Development
Cooing (1-2); Babbling (4-6),
Echolalia and Expressive Jargon (9+)
First Words (10-15 months)
Holophrastic Speech (single words used to express sentences12-18; 1yr), Telegraphic Speech (uses two words to express sentence 18-24; 1.5 yr)
Rapid Vocabulary (30-36/3 yrs)
Develpt of Complex Grammar (36-48; 3-4 yrs)
Sequence of Language Development (3-4 years)
Rapid Vocabulary (30-36/3 yrs)
Develpt of Complex Grammar (36-48; 3-4 yrs)
1 month early motor development
turns head
grasp reflex
3 months motor development
head bob

Cognitive Theories of Development
Piaget’s constructiv. theory
Vygotsky’s Sociocultural theory
Information Processing theory
Neo-Piagetian theories
What are Piaget’s stages of cognitive development?
Sensorimotor (0-2)
Preoperational ( 2-7)
Concrete Operational (7-12)
Formal Operational (12+)
Sensorimotor Stage
Piaget’s Constructivist Theory
Children learn about objects through sensory information and motor activity
has six substages
First substage of sensorimotor stage?
(name and month?)
Early Reflexive Rxns (0-1 month)
Second substage of sensorimotor stage?
(name and month?)
Primary Circular Reactions
(1 to 4 months)
Third substage of sensorimotor stage?
(name, months)
Secondary Circular Reactions
(4 to 8 months)
Fourth substage of sensorimotor stage
(name; months)
Coordination of secondary circular reactions
(8-12 months)
Fifth substage of sensorimotor stage
(name; month)
Tertiary Circular Reactions
(12 to 18 months)
Sixth substage of sensorimotor stage
(name, months)
Emergence of Representational Thought
(18-24 months)
Early Reflexive reactions (0-1 month)
gain control and practice reflexive behaviors
Primary Circular Reactions (1 - 4 months)
discover pleasurable actions (thumbsucking) then repeat them
Secondary Circular Reactions (4-8 months)
Discover actions involving obects then repeat them
(shaking rattle)
Coordination of Secondary Circular Reactions
(8-12 months)
combine secondary circular reactions to meet a goal
(uncover rattle then reach for it)
Tertiary Circular Reactions (12-18 months)
Infants deliberately change an action to discover the consequences
(dropping a ball from different heights)
Emergence of Representation Thought
(18-24 months)
Infants develop mental representations that allow them to think of past objects not in present
In the preoperational stage infants develop…
(2-7 years)
- symbolic function (words, images stand for another)
- pretend play
Preoperational stage is limited by…
transductive reasoning–2 events that happen at the same time are causal
egocentrism–inability of children to understand that others don’t experience things the same way they do
Transductive reasoning and egocentrism in the preoperation stage leads to…
animism and magical thinking
