What are the 8 developmental stages
Prenatal, infancy, early childhood, late childhood, adolescence, early adulthood, middle age and old age
Four stages of development in adulthood
Physical, mental, social, emotional
Age when hereditary endowments and sex are fixed and all body features, both external and internal are developed
Prenatal (conception to birth)
Foundation age when basic behavior are organized and many ontogenetic maturation skills are developed
Infancy (birth to 2 years)
Pre gang age, exploratory, and questioning. Language and elementary reasoning are acquired and initial socialization is experienced
Early childhood (2 to 6 years)
Gang and creativity age when self-help skills, social skills, school skills, and play are developed
Late childhood (6 to 12 years)
Transition age from childhood to adulthood when sex maturation and rapid physical development occur resulting to changes in ways of feeling, thinking and acting
Adolescent (puberty to 18 years)
Age of adjustment to new patterns of life and roles such as spouse, parent and breadwinner
Early adulthood (18 to 40 years)
Transition age when adjustments to initial physical and mental decline are experienced
Middle age (40 to 60 years)
Retirement age when increasingly rapid physical and mental decline are experienced
Old age (retirement to death)
Elaborated on the developmental tasks theory in the most systematic and extensive matter
Robert J. Havighurst
Is continuous throughout the entire lifespan, occurring in stages, where the individual moves from one stage to the next by means of successful resolution of problems or performance of developmental tasks.
Development
This theory presents the individual as an active learner who continually interacts with a similarly active social environment
Developmental task theory
proposed a bio psychosocial model of development, wherein the developmental tasks at each stage are influenced by the individual’s biology (physiological maturation and genetic makeup), his psychology (personal values and goals) and sociology (specific culture to which the individual belongs).
Havighurst
Most girls have completed the physical changes related to puberty by age 15.
Boys are still maturing and gaining strength, muscle mass, and height are completing the development of sexual traits
