Module 2 Flashcards
Growth Definition
physical growth (increase in size/weight) quantifiable changes i.e. increase in number/size of cells
Development Definition
sequence of physical, psychosocial, cognitive changes that occurs throughout one’s lifespan
4 Main Developmental Theorists
Piaget - Cognitive
Kohlberg - Moral
Freud - Psychoanalysis
Erikson - Psychosocial
Piaget
focused on child cognitive development
people develop at different rates, but they all follow the same linear sequence
individual plays an active role in his environment
Kohlberg 6 stages of development (orientations)
Preconventional 1 - punishment & obedience do something to avoid punishment 2 - instrumental do something bc it is beneficial to you Conventional 3 - good boy/nice girl social reputation. emphasis on social relationships 4 - society-maintaining respect for social rules. progresses from social relationships to societal concerns Postconventional 5 - social contract follows laws but acknowledges these are to serve the greater good and can/should be changed to service that respects diverse values but acknowledges basic human rights 6 - universal ethical principles self-chosen ethical principles abstract, universality, consistency emphasis on social justice
Freud 5 Psychosexual stages of development
1 - Oral (0-18 months)
2 - Anal (12-18 months to 3 years)
3 - Phallic/Oedipal (3-6 years)
4 - Latency (6-12 years)
channeling oedipal energies in a socially productive way
5 - Genital (puberty - adulthood)
earlier repressed sexual urges re-emerge. resolving these conflicts allows one to become a mature adult
Erikson 8 Stages of development
1 - Trust vs. Mistrust (0-1 year)
2 - Autonomy vs. Shame (1-3 years)
3 - Initiative vs. Guilt (3-6 years)
4 - Industry vs. Inferiority (6-11 years)
5 - Identity vs. Role Confusion (12-18 years)
6 - Intimacy vs. Isolation (18-35 years)
7 - Generativity vs. Self-absorption/stagnation (35-65)
8 - Integrity vs. Despair (65+)
6 Developmental Domains
Cognitive Social/Emotional Communication Physical/Physiological Motor Adaptive
Erikson
covered the entire lifespan
expanded on freud’s work
person needs to accomplish a certain task in order to proceed to the next stage of development
each task = opposing conflicts
Erikson 8 Stages of development
1 - Trust vs. Mistrust (0-1 year)
2 - Autonomy vs. Shame (1-3 years)
3 - Initiative vs. Guilt (3-6 years)
4 - Industry vs. Inferiority (6-11 years)
5 - Identity vs. Role Confusion (12-18 years)
6 - Intimacy vs. Isolation (18-35 years)
7 - Generativity vs. Self-absorption/stagnation (35-65)
8 - Integrity vs. Despair (65+)
Physical/Physiological
growth in physical characteristics (height, weight)
regulated by neuroendocrine systems
development of secondary sex characteristics
cellular changes
Motor
development of bones, muscle +ability to move around and manipulate/interact with one’s physical environment
consists of fine/gross motor skills
gross motor = large muscles –> more general movement
fine motor = small muscles –> more precise movement
Adaptive
development of age appropriate life skills
skills needed for everyday tasks
dressing, hygiene, toileting, cleaning, cooking
requires adequate development in all other domains
3 Groups of Older Adults
Young-Old
Medium-Old
Old-Old
Young-Old
65-74 years
Medium-Old
75-84 years
Old-Old
85+
Factors leading to Increase in Older Adults
declining birth rate
immigration of older adults
extended lifespan
4 Developmental Characteristics
Simple to Complex
Proximal to Distal (Near to Far)
Head to Toe
General to Specific
3 Main Developmental Risk Factors
Genetic/Natural
Environment
Interacting (Genetic + environment)
