Study These Flashcards
A

-Optimum development, according to Freud, requires an environment that will satisfy the unique needs of each period. An inadequate early environment will result in fixation; characterized by behaviours that reflect unresolved problems and unmet needs.

ERIKSON'S PSYCHOSOCIAL THEORY -INTERACTION OF INNER INSTINCTS AND CULTURAL DEMANDS -Development over the Lifespan in psychosocial stages The Eight Crises you must move through and successfully resolve eight dilemmas List the Eight stages of Crises
1. Infancy (0-18 months) 2. Early Childhood (2-3) 3.Preschool (3-5) 4.School age (6-11) 5. Adolescence (12-18) 6.Young adult (19-40) 7. Middle adulthood (40-65) 8.Maturity (65 to death)
28
CRITIQUE The Good: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) The Bad: 1)Hard to test and hard to measure
CRITIQUE The Good: 1) Focus on the importance of emotional quality of the child's earliest relationship with caregivers 2) Child's needs change with age and family interaction is crucial in the development of personality 3) Concepts are part of everyday language (conscious) 4) Invented psychotherapy 5) Emphasizes continued development during adulthood The Bad: 1)Hard to test and hard to measure

HUMANISTIC ALTERNATIVE -most important internal drive is to achieve one's full potential- ___-________ is the ultimate goal in human life Maslow
-most important internal drive is to achieve one's full potential- self- actualization is the ultimate goal in human life

31
Pavlov’s Classical
-Plays an important role in development of emotional responses -the association of stimulus with an involuntary response -focus on involuntary automatic behaviour (that smells bad) -a neutral stimulus before a reflex causes an association
32
Skinners operant
Extinction and shaping -the association of the voluntary behaviour with a consequence Found 3 environmental responses or operants that can follow a behaviour: -reinforcers = increase the probability of a behaviour reoccurring -punishers = decrease probability of behaviour recurring (extinguish) -neutral = do neither Positive reinforcement: adds pleasant stimuli Ex, Rat notices that each time he presses the lever, food comes out so he continues to do it Negative reinforcement: removes unpleasant stimuli Ex,rat always noticed to press lever when a shock was felt (escape learning) Also taught rat to shut off electric current in the first place (avoidance learning) Punishments weakens a behaviour by linking it to an adverse consequence Can occur through the addition (rat receives initial shock hitting a button so then realize not to hit it) removal of a stimulus ( raccoon washes cotton candy - but it’s gone) Response rate :rate at which a behaviour repeats Extinction rate :how soon behaviour stops
33
CRITIQUE
-explains consistency and change in behavior -optimistic about the possibility of change and gives an accurate picture of the way many behaviours are learned -not really developmental- does not tell us about age- related changes.... enter BANDURA (in a few slides)
34
Define COGNITIVE THEORIES: How many are there... can you list them?
-emphasize mental aspects of development (i.e.logic and memory) -(1)Piaget -(2)Information- Processing -(3)Vygotsky -(4)Bandura
35
Terms Explained 1.SCHEME: 2.ASSIMILATION 3.ACCOMMODATION 4. Equilibration:
Terms Explained 1.SCHEME: -an internal cognitive structure that provides an individual with procedure to follow in a specific circumstance 2.ASSIMILATION; -is the process of applying schemes to experiences 3.ACCOMMODATION -changing the scheme as a result of new information 4. Equilibration: -the process of balancing assimilation and accommodation to create schemes that fit the environment- we learn what works and what does not work in particular situations
36
Cognitive theories Emphasize mental aspects of development (I.e logic +memory) 1.Piaget
Cognitive development theory based on scheme, assimilation, accommodation, and equilibration
37
Cognitive theories Emphasize mental aspects of development (I.e logic +memory) 2. Information Processing
Use the computer as a model of human thinking with memory processes
38
Cognitive theories Emphasize mental aspects of development (I.e logic +memory) 3. Vygotsky
-Socio-cultural theory asserts complex forms of thinking have their origins in social interactions - children’s learning of new cognitive skill by an older or skilled person who structures the child’s learning experience; a process known as scaffolding (a process in which the learning of new cognitive skills is guided by someone who is more skilled -to create an appropriate scaffold adults must keep the child’s attention, model the best strategy, and adapt the whole process to the child’s developmental level, or zone of proximal development (signifies tasks that are too hard for a child to do alone, but can be managed with guidance
39
Cognitive theories: Bandura
learning does not always require reinforcement….sometimes we learn through observation - bridge between behaviorist and cognitive learning theories emphasis on attention, memory and motivation you can learn through observation, imitation, and modeling

Critique 1Piaget: - 2- 3Information processing: 4Ignores emotions:
Critique Piaget -changed the way psychologists thought about child development -development is less staged than what Piaget purports 3 Information processing: -less staged and more continuous understanding our thinking is more complex than a computer 4 Ignores emotions: -cognitive theorists ignore emotion, creativity, and imagination and underplay the effects of our physical and social surroundings
44
System theory
-personal and external factors form a dynamic integrated system -HOLISM- the 'whole' is primary and often greater than the sum of its parts -WELLNESS-a result of adapative adjustement
45
BRONFENBRENNER BIOECOLOGICAL SYSTEM THEORY -Define Bioecological Systems Theory -Define classification
-development explained in terms of the relationships between people and their environments, or contexts -classifies all the individual and contextual variables that affect development and specifies how they interact
46
Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Model -the microsystem -the mesosystem -the exosystem -the macrosystem -the chronosystem
-The microsystem- activities and interactions in the child's immediate surroundings: parents, school, friends, etc. -the mesosystem- relationships among the entities involed in the child's microsystem: parents' interactions with teachers, a school's interactions with the daycare provider (education system) -the exosystem- social institutions which can affect children indirectly: the parents' work settings and policies, extended family networks, mass media, community resources -the macro system- broader cultural values, laws and governmental resources - the chronosystem- changes which occur during a child's life, both personally, like the birth of a sibling and culturally, like the iraqi war
47
Crtique: Bronfenbrenner
-bronfenbrenner contributed the need to understand interaction among individuals and context -foundation of scientific approaches to early childhood initiatives
48
Complexity theory
-grew out of the system theory -emphasizes interactions and the accompanying feedback loops that constantly change systems -purports systems are unpredictable but also constrained by order-generating rules (decisions are made in certain ways and can be predictable
49
Critique of complexity theory The good: - - The bad -
the good: -helps to make sense of childhood development within the context of adversity -moves away from the oversimplification of childhood development (anti-reductionist in nature) the bad: - requires lots of time to utilize this theory- generalizations are frowned upon
50
The summary 1.BIO/ EVOL - 2.Psychoana - 3.Learning - 4. Cognitive -
The summary 1.BIO/ EVOL -genetics are selected for in terms of survival and adaptation 2.Psychoana - internal drives and emotions impact behaviour 3.Learning -experiences in the environment shape the child 4. Cognitive -emphasize mental aspects of development (logic and memory)
51
systems and complexity
-personal and external factors from a dynamic integrated system -interaction and feedback shape development/ contexts
