Human Development Flashcards
Language Development
2-3 months = cooing 3-4 months = babbling 10 months = family language babbling 12 months = one word stage 24 months = two word telegraph stage 24+ = rapid development into complete sentences.
Language Subsystems

Symantic - meaning

Developmental Red Flags
Birth: abnormal or absent reflexes
3 Months: Persistent fisting (neurologic defect), Absent smile (visual defect or abuse/neglect)
6 Months: Failure to reach for objects (visual, motor, cognitive defects), Absent babbling (hearing defects)
12 Months: Persistent mouthing of objects (cognitive defects)
1.5 Years: Advanced non-communicative speech (developmental disorder, cognitive defects)
Regression of any previously required skills
Sensorimotor Stage
Piaget Stage 1 - Birth to 2 Years:
Nervous System maturation
- Primary circular response - reflex action and response
- Secondary circular response - action response with others
- Tertiary circular response - planned action leading to new action
Preoperational Stage
Piaget Stage 2 - 2 to 6 years of age.
Experience or environmental stimulation
- representing things with words and images
- lacking logical reasoning
Lack of conservation abilities
Concrete Operational Stage
Piaget Stage 3 - 7 to 11 years of age.
Social transmission of information
-thinking logically about concrete events
Conservation
Formal Operational Stage
Piaget Stage 4 - 12 to Adulthood
Abstract reasoning - Equilibration
Equilibration
Piaget: A cognitive process in which existing constructs are changed as a result of new experiences, resulting in an advanced state of cognitive balance.
Kohlberg Stages of Moral Development
Stage 1: Punishment Orientation Stage 2: Reward Orientation Stage 3: Good Boy/Girl Stage 4: Authority Orientation - upholds social rules to avoid censure & guilt. Stage 5: Social Contract Orientation Stage 6: Ethical Principle Orientation
1&2 = preconventional 3&4 = conventional 5&6 = postconventional
