Winegard 4 Flashcards
What three components of human development are studied in the scientific approach?
Physical and psychomotor development: This includes examination of changes in sensory systems, the control over our bodies, body proportions, and the development of the brain
Cognitive development: This includes changes in all processes involved with thinking or knowing, such as perception, attention, consciousness, memory, intelligence, problem solving, and language
Socioemotional development: This includes changes in processes related to our affective (emotional) world, such as self-esteem, love, temperament, personality, morality, and our interactions with and relationships to other people
What is cognitive development?
Cognitive development: This includes changes in all processes involved with thinking or knowing, such as perception, attention, consciousness, memory, intelligence, problem solving, and language
What is socioemotional development?
This includes changes in processes related to our affective (emotional) world, such as self-esteem, love, temperament, personality, morality, and our interactions with and relationships to other people.
Self esteem definitions?
Self-esteem: A person’s overall sense of worth and well-being
Baseline self-esteem: A person’s stable, enduring sense of worth and well-being
Barometric self-esteem: The fluctuating sense of well-being people have as they respond to different thoughts, experiences, and interactions in the course of a day
The sociometer theory - mark leary
Self- esteem, then, is an internal representation of social acceptance and rejection.
Stages of development?
Infancy (0-2 years)
Early childhood (2-7 years)
Middle childhood (7-12 years)
Adolescence (12-18 years)
Emerging adulthood (18-25 years)
Young adulthood (25-40 years)
Middle adulthood (40-65 years)
Older adulthood (> 65 years)
Normative and idiographic approach?
The normative (nomographic) approach investigates commonalities of human development. These may differ by culture or historical era but tend to be similar in the environment under study
The idiographic approach investigates variation among individuals (individual differences) to gain insights into what factors make humans unique and what factors may alter development.
Blank Slate view of human development?
Humans have no nature, Humans have minimal instincts, human brains are open to the full range of behaviors and predisposed to few
Biological View of human development?
Humans have an evolved nature, humans have many instincts, the human brain is predisposed to some behaviors, cognitions, affects. There are biologically based individual differences, sex/gender differences, and ethnic group differences (at least on traits such as lactose tolerance)
Erikson’s development model?
INFANT - basic trust/mistrust TODDLER - autonomy/shame and doubt PRE-SCHOOLER - initiative/guilt SCHOOL-AGER - industry/inferiority ADOLESCENT - identity/role confusion YOUNG ADULT - intimacy/isolation MIDDLE AGE generativity/stagnation OLDER ADULT ego-integrity/despair
