UNIT 1- THEORIST ON GROWTH & DEVELOPEMENT Flashcards
Who are the 4 theorist we need to know and their theories?
- Erikson- Psychosocial
- Piaget- Cognitive
- Freud- Psychosexual
- Kohlberg- Moral
How many stages does Erikson’s theory consist of and which do we need to know?
8 stages, we focus on 5.
- Trust vs. Mistrust- Infant
- Autonomy vs. Shame & Doubt- toddler
- Initiative vs. Guilt- Preschool
- Industry vs. Inferiority- School age
- Identity vs. Role confusion - adolescence
What is Erikson’s theories based around?
He believed that in order to be successful one must balance positive and a corresponding negative.
What did Piaget believe?
He believed that the development of intellect and knowledge of the environment is gained through the senses. He provided support on the idea that children think differently than adults and identified several important developmental milestones in children
Freuds theories were highly…..
controversial
What did Freud believe?
He believed that sexual energy of the ID takes different forms as a child matures.
What is your ID?
Unconscious self
example- you want to go out with your friends! dont study….
What is your superego?
Conscious self
example- You must study all night or you won’t pass
What is your ego?
Balance between your ID and superego
example- study now and after you do well on your exam you can spend time with your friends.
How many stages of Freud’s psychosexual theories are there?
5
What did Kohlberg believe?
He believed that the moral process was a complicated process evolving the acceptance of values and rules of society in a way that shapes our behaviors… concern with the principles of wrong and right.
Kohlberg’s theory is divided how…
He divided the life span into 3 stages
1. Pre-conventional
2. Conventional
3. Post-conventional
Infancy is what age to what age?
Birth- 1yr
During the infant stage what theories will we see?
Erikson- Trust vs. Mistrust
Freud- Oral stage
Piaget: Sensorimotor Period (stages 1-4)
What was Eriksons view behind Trust vs. Mistrust and what stage in childhood is this seen?
Infant
Trust is “the sense that there is some correspondence between your needs and your world”
Erikson believed that when an infant expressed a need and the caregiver filled the need that trust was built and when the need was not met… mistrust was built
What are crucial elements in Eriksons Trust vs. Mistrust?
- Quality of the caregiver/child relationship
- Consistency of care
What must we keep in mind when providing scheduled care of an infant in relation to Eriksons theory of trust vs. Mistrust.
If a caregiver constantly meets the need of the baby then the baby cant express the need to know that it has been met which can also lead to mistrust
Erikson’s trust vs. mistrust theory focuses on narcissism in the infant what should we know about this.
Infants have a degree of egocentrism– total concern for ones self
Trust vs. Mistrust
Task is too…. (question 1)
Failure to resolve leads to…. (question 2)
- Trust
- Mistrust and failure to thrive (FTT)
What stage of Freud’s theory do we see in infancy? (birth to 1y)
Oral Stage
What did Freud believe about the oral stage?
This age group found sources of pleasure through activities such as sucking, biting and vocalizing.
What is nonnutritive sucking?
Pleasure of sucking that does not provide nutrients such as sucking fingers or pacifiers.
What are safety tips to teach parents about pacifiers?
- Paci needs to be sturdy, one-piece Contruction
- No detachable ribbon or string
- 2 Ventilating holes
- Handle
In infancy what stage of Piaget’s theory do we see?
Sensorimotor Period
How long does the sensorimotor period last?
birth- 24 months
How many stages does the sensorimotor period contain and what are there names?
6- 1st 4 in infancy
- Stage 1: Reflexes
- Stage 2: Primary circular reaction
- Stage 3: Secondary circular reaction
- Stage 4: Coordination of secondary reaction
Last 2 in toddler
- Stage 5: Tertiary circular reactions
- Stage 6: inventions of new means
According to Piaget what happens to our behavior pattern during the sensorimotor periord?
Our behaviors move from being reflexive to repetitive to imitation
According to Piaget what is happening to us during the sensorimotor period?
We are developing intellect and knowledge of the environment gained through our senses
What are 3 crucial events during the sensorimotor period.
- Separation: Infants learn to separate themselves from other objects in their environment
- Object permeance: Infants learn that objects exist once they leave the visual field and will begin pursing a lost hidden object
- Symbols and mental representation: Infants begin to reproduce or repeat a previously witnessed action
Why is peak a boo so fun in infancy?
Before infants gain the understanding of object permanency they truly believe and are surprised that the parent is gone
What is circulation reaction?
Action that is repeated over and over
What is primary circulation reaction?
Centered around the infants body
example: stroking an infants check and the baby turns their head
What is secondary circulation reaction?
Orientation to the environment
What is the 1st stage of the sensorimotor period?
Stage 1- reflexes
When does the 1st stage (reflexes) of the sensorimotor period occur and what should we expect?
- Birth- 1m
- Sucking, rooting, grasping, crying
What is the 2nd stage of the sensorimotor period?
Primary circular reaction
When does the 2nd stage (primary circular reaction) of the sensorimotor period occur and what should we expect?
- 1m-4m
- Centered around the body– beginning to replace reflexive behavior w/ voluntary action
What is the 3rd stage of the sensorimotor period?
Secondary circular reaction
When does the 3rd stage (secondary circular reaction) of the sensorimotor period occur and what should we expect?
- 4m-8m
- Greater awareness of the environment
- Around 6M old
- imitation “bye bye” wave
- Increased affect: excited for bottle squill
- Object permanence
What is the 4th stage of the sensorimotor period?
Coordination of secondary circulation
When does the 4th stage (coordination of secondary circulation) of the sensorimotor period occur and what should we expect?
- 8m-12m
- Beginning on intellectual reasoning
- can look for missing toys
- Anticipation of events
- understanding what bye bye means
- Begin to associate symbols and events
- bye bye
What causes separation anxiety?
Beginning awareness that mother and self are separate beings
+
Developing object permanence
= separation anxiety
