Developmental Task Theory Flashcards
Is a task that arises at a certain period of time in our life, the successful achievement of which leads to happiness and success with later task while failure leads to unhappiness, social disapproval, and difficulty with later tasks.

The Stages of Human Development
- Pre-natal stage
- Infancy
- Babyhood stage
- Early Childhood
- Middle and late childhood
- Adolescence
- Early Adulthood
- Middle Adulthood
- Late Adulthood
Conception to birth
Pre-natal stage
Involves tremendous growth -from a single cell to an organism complete with brain and behavioral capabilities.
Pre-natal Period
Age when heredity endowment and sex are fixed and all body features, both external and internal are developed.
Pre-natal Period/Stage
Relating to pregnant woman and her unborn baby.
Pre-natal stage
Before birth, during or relating to pregnancy.
Pre-natal stage
3 Periods of pre-natal stage
- Germinal Period
- Embryonic Period
- Fetal Period
Conception to 2weeks.
Germinal Period
It includes the creation of Zygote, continued cell division and the attachment of the zygote to the uterine wall. “Uterus”.
Germinal Period
Layers of the organism in germinal Period
Blastocyst and Trophoblast
The inner layer of cells organism in germinal Period.
Blastocyst
The outer layer of the cells organism in germinal Period
Trophoblast
The inner layer that will develops later into the embryo in germinal Period.
Blastocyst
The outer layer of the organism in germinal Period that provides nutrition and support for the embryo.
Trophoblast
Refers to 2-8 weeks after conception.
Embryonic Period
Zygote will become embryo.
Embryonic Period
The following Development takes place:
- Cell differentiation intensifies
- Life support systems for the embryo develop
- Organs appear
Embryonic Period
It is the process of organ formation during the first two months of prenatal development.
Organogenesis
Process of increase connection between areas of the brain during pre-natal development.
Synaptogenesis
3 layers of cells in Embryonic Period
Endoderm, mesoderm, ectoderm
Inner layer of the cell in Embryonic Period
Becomes the digestive and respiratory systems.
Endoderm
Outermost layer of the cell in Embryonic Period.
Ectoderm
Ectoderm becomes____, ______, and _____. In the later stages.
Nervous, sensory receptors and skin parts
The middle layer of the cell during embryonic Period.
Mesoderm
Mesoderm develops into _____, _____,_______, and _____. In the later stages.
Circulatory skeletal, muscular, excretory, and reproductive system.
3 life support systems
Placenta, Umbilical cord, and Amnion
A life support system that consists of disk-shaped group of tissues which small blood vessels from mother and the offspring intertwine but do not join.
Placenta
Contains two arteries and one vein that connects the baby to the placenta.
Umbilical cord
Is a bag or an envelope that contains a clear fluid in which the developing embryo floats.
Amnion
Ages 13-18
Adolescence
Transition age from childhood to adulthood
Adolescence
Begins with rapid physical changes-dramatic gains in height and weight, changes in body contour, and the development of sexual characteristics such as enlargement of breast, development of pubic and facial hair, and deepening of voice.
Adolescence
Pursuit of independence and identity are prominent
Adolescence
Thought is more logical, abstract and idealistic.
Adolescence
More spent time outside of the family.
Adolescence
Achieving new and more mature relations with age mates of both sexes.
Adolescence
Achieving masculine or feminine social role.
Adolescence
Accepting one’s physique and using the body effectively.
Adolescence
Achieving emotional independence of parents and othe adults.
Adolescence
Preparing for marriage and family life.
Adolescence
Acquiring a set of values and an ethical system as a guide to behavior.
Adolescence
Desiring and achieving socially responsible behavior.
Adolescence
