Q

Piaget Concrete Operational Stage (3)

A

Ages 6-11

Develop capacity of conservation (object permanence-physical stays the same even if visually changed))
AND
Reversibility (one can undo an action)
Object can return to an initial shape/ability to think through a series of steps and then mentally reverse

Accommodation=process of changing schemata to fit in new information

18
Q

Piaget Stages of Moral Development

A
  1. Premoral (preschool)
    -Child is unconcerned about rules; makes up their own
  2. Heteronomous morality (5yr-9yr)
    -rules determined by authority-must be obeyed. Violations always punished
  3. Autonomous morality (9yrs-12yrs)
    -social rules=arbitrary and promote cooperation, equality, and reciprocity; they serve justice. Rules can be changed by agreement or violated for a higher purpose

*** 10 and under-wrong doings judged by amount of damage rather than intention

19

Freud

Focus on unconscious processes rather than cognitive factors when counseling clients

20

22
Q

Conservation (Piaget)

A

Refers to the notion that a substance’s weight, mass, and volume remain the same even if it changes shape

Child masters during CONCRETE OPERATIONAL stage (also counting-c-c-c)

23
Q

Heinz dilemma (Kohlberg)

A

Bonding and attachment

To have a normal social life a child must bond with an adult before the age of 3

Bond severed=object loss which leads to abnormal behavior

Object=target of one’s love

24
Q

Maturation hypothesis/theory

A

Behavior guided by hereditary factors BUT certain behaviors will not manifest until the necessary stimuli are present in the environment

Neural development must be at a certain level of maturity for behavior to unfold

Counselor strives to unleash inborn abilities, instincts, and drives

Freud and Erikson could be classified as maturationists

25
Q

Harry Harlow

A

Known for work with maternal deprivation and isolation in monkeys

Attachment=innate tendency NOT learned

Contact/comfort more important than milk

26
Q

cephalocaudal

A

development=head to foot

27
Q

Visual cliff (Gibson)

A

Research of depth perception in children utilizing a glass sheet to simulate a drop-off.

At 6 months most infants will not attempt to cross.

Depth perception=inherent

28
Q

Empiricism/associationism

A

Development consists of quantitative changes and can be measured

Can only learn from objective facts

Experience=source for acquiring knowledge

Forerunner of behaviorism

29
Q

Ethology (Lorenz)

A

Developed by zoologists trying to explain behavior using Darwinian theory

Today=field research utilizing animals

Lorenz=imprinting/
critical periods (certain behaviors must be
learned at an early time in development
otherwise not learned at all

30
Q

Maslow Hierarchy of Needs

A

“Humanistic psychology”

  1. Immediate/basic needs (food and water)
  2. Safety and security
  3. Need for love, affection, and belonging
