PROVIDES A TIMETABLE OF EXPECTED DEVELOPMENTAL EVENTS AT CERTAIN AGES. psychosexual stages of development (Freud) - ✔✔-four distinct stages of the development of the self between birth and adulthood, according to Freud; personality quirks are a result of being fixated, or stuck, at any stage: Oral, Anal, Phallic, Latency, Genital. Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) - ✔✔-founder of psychoanalysis, a controversial theory about the workings of the unconscious mind: Id, Ego, Superego Id (Pleasure-pain principle) - ✔✔-a reservoir of unconscious psychic energy that, according to Freud, strives to satisfy basic sexual and aggressive drives. The id operates on the pleasure principle-pain, demanding immediate gratification. Ego (Reality principle) - ✔✔-the largely conscious, "executive" part of personality that, according to Freud, mediates among the demands of the id, superego, and reality.

Genital Stage (puberty on) - ✔✔-sexual feelings re-emerge and are oriented toward others Erik Erikson (1902-1994) - ✔✔-Erikson is an Ego Psychologist (Believes that man 's powers of reasoning can control behavior) and is the only psychoanalyst whose developmental theory encompasses that WHOLE LIFE SPAN. Described eight developmental stages, each characterized by a challenging developmental crisis Proposed five psychosocial stages build on Freud's theory, but added three adult stages Frued's Psychodynamic Theory - ✔✔-Focus on the unconscious process of the id, ego, and superego. ego defense mechanisms - ✔✔-largely unconscious distortions of thoughts or perceptions that act to reduce anxiety Psychosocial Theory (Erikson) - ✔✔-emphasized that in addition to mediating between id impulses and superego demands, the ego makes a positive contribution to development, acquiring attitudes and skills that make the individual an active, contributing member of society Erik son's Psychosocial Theory believes that ... - ✔✔-the stages are universal and occurring similarly regardless of culture, these stages built upon one another and no stages can be missed, and some stages may never be reached.

Integrity vs. Dispair (old age: 60s and beyond) Generativity Types - ✔✔- Trust vs. Mistrust (Erikson) - ✔✔-0-1 years. Erikson's first stage during the first year of life, infants learn to trust when they are cared for in a consistent warm manner Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (Erikson) - ✔✔-1-3 years: Children become self-sufficient in activities (toilieting, feeding, walking, talking) or doubt themselves. Parents should allow safe free choice and restrain from shaming. Initiative vs. Guilt (Erikson) - ✔✔-3-6 Years: Children want to undertake adult like activities through make believe play or internalize limits set by parents (demand too much self- control). They feel adventurous or guilty. Beginning to develop SELF-CONCEPT Industry vs. Inferiority (Erikson) - ✔✔-6-11 years - Children busily learn to be competent and productive or feel inferior and unable to do anything well. identity vs. role confusion (Erikson) - ✔✔-Adolescence - Erikson's stage during which teenagers and young adults search for and become their true selves Intimacy vs. Isolation (Erikson) - ✔✔-20-40 yrs, good: love, intimate relationships, commitment. bad: avoidance of commitment, alienation, distancing oneself Gernerativity vs. Stagnation (Erikson) - ✔✔-Generativity means giving to the next generation through child rearing, caring for others, or productive work. Failure in this stage results in an absence of meaningful accomplishment. integrity vs despair (Erikson) - ✔✔-Resolved in mature adulthood, determining how well one has lived Jean Piaget (1896-1980) - ✔✔-Pioneer in the study of developmental psychology who introduced a stage theory of cognitive development that led to a better understanding of children's thought processes. Critics of Jean Piaget - ✔✔-His findings were based on research performed on his own children. cognitive development theory - ✔✔-children actively construct knowledge as they manipulate and explore their world: Piaget's stages of cognitive development - ✔✔-1. sensorimotor- Birth to 2 years 2. pre-operational- 2 to 7 years 3. concrete operational - 7 - 11 years 4. formal operational - 11 years + sensorimotor stage (Piaget) - ✔✔-in Piaget's theory, the stage (from birth to about 2 years of age) during which infants know the world mostly in terms of their sensory impressions and motor activities preoperational stage (Piaget) - ✔✔-in Piaget's theory, the stage (from about 2 to 6 or 7 years of age) during which a child learns to use language but does NOT yet comprehend the mental operations of concrete logic, make believe play, play is less self-centered, SOCIODRAMATIC PLAY (make believe play with others is representational; "You pretend to be an astronaut") concrete operational stage (Piaget) - ✔✔-in Piaget's theory, the stage of cognitive development (from about 6 or 7 to 11 years of age) during which children gain the mental operations that enable them to think logically about concrete events, organize objects into categories, and master the concept of CONSERVATION (they understand lemonade stays the same even if the glass is only half full). formal operational stage (Piaget) - ✔✔-in Piaget's theory, the stage of cognitive development (normally beginning about age 12) during which people begin to think logically about abstract concepts (time, distance) hypothetico-deductive thinking - ✔✔-A form of formal logic achieved during the formal operational stage Piaget identified as the ability to generate and test hypotheses in a logical and systematic matter and follow it with deductive reasoning. schemes (sensorimotor stage) - ✔✔-Piaget - specific psychological structures-organized ways of making sense of experience. Schemes change with age organization of schemes (sensorimotor stage) - ✔✔-once children form new schemes they rearrange them, linking them with other schemes to create a strongly interconnected cognitive system. adaptation (sensorimotor stage) - ✔✔-involves building schemes through direct interaction with the environment; consists of two complimentary activities, assimilation and accommodation. assimilation (sensorimotor stage) - ✔✔-we use our current schemes to interpret the external world; if Timmy drops an object he was assimilating it into his "dropping scheme". or when a child sees only similarities between objects but can't discern their differences accommodation (sensorimotor stage ) - ✔✔-we create new schemes or adjust old ones after noticing that our current ways of thinking do not capture the environment completely; when Timmy drops objects in different ways, he modifies his dropping scheme to take account of the varied properties of objects object permanence (sensorimotor stage) - ✔✔-the awareness that things continue to exist even when not perceived Egocentrism ( Piaget Pre operational Stage) - ✔✔-failure to distinguish other's symbolic viewpoints as different from one's own. Three Mountains Experiment. Conservation ( Piaget Pre Operational Stage) - ✔✔-that certain physical characteristics of objects remain the same, even when their outward appearance changes. (Kids do not understand this concept until Concrete Operational Stage) Piaget and Moral Development - ✔✔-theorized how thinking about moral issues was stimulated. Children go through 2 distinct stages of how they think about morality. Heteronomous - morality occurs between ages 4 and 7, when the child views rules as absolutes that result in punishment. Autonomous - morality is characterized by the child's perception that rules are relative and can be altered or changed. sociocultural theory (Vygotsky) - ✔✔-Vygotsky's theory that children's cognitive growth depends on their interactions with adults and more knowledgeable peers, which in turn are based on broad cultural values. Zone of Proximal Development (Vygotsky) - ✔✔-In Vygotsky's theory, the range between children's present level of knowledge and their potential knowledge state if they recieve proper guidance and instruction Ecological Systems Theory (Bronfenbrenner) - ✔✔-views the person as developing within a complex system of relationships affected by multiple levels of the surrounding environment Urie Bronfenbrenner (1917-2005) - ✔✔-Outlined layers of environment that affect a child's development, such as the child's own biology, family/community environment, and society. Microsystems (Bronfenbrenner) - ✔✔-development happens within elements of the person's immediate surroundings, such as family and peer group Mesosystem (Bronfenbrenner) - ✔✔-in the bioecological model, the interconnections among immediate, or microsystem, settings ( ex: a child's academic progress depends not just on activities that take place in classrooms but also on parent involvement in school life...) Exosystem (Bronfenbrenner) - ✔✔-The concept of social settings that do not contain the developing person but nevertheless affect experiences in immediate settings that indirectly influence the child. Ex: Extended family macrosystems (Bronfenbrenner) - ✔✔-Consists of cultural values, laws, customs, and resources individualistic culture - ✔✔-A culture in which people believe that their primary responsibility is to themselves. collectivist cultures - ✔✔-cultures in which the self is regarded as embedded in relationships, and harmony with one's group is prized above individual goals and wishes. Classical Conditioning (Pavlov) - ✔✔-a type of learning in which one learns to link two or more stimuli and anticipate events. The dog learns that food will come when the bell is rang and starts salivating. So despite the presence of food, when the bell is rung, the dog will start drooling Operant Conditioning (Pavlov) - ✔✔-the subject will operate on the environment, and stimuli that follow their behavior change the probability that the behavior will occur again. reinforcer (operant conditioning) - ✔✔-In operant conditioning the reinforcer is a stimulus that increases the occurrence of a response. Punishment (operant conditioning) - ✔✔-in operant conditioning the punishment occurs when removing a desirable stimulus or presenting an unpleasant one to decrease the occurrence of a response. Habituation (Operant Conditioning) - ✔✔-refers to a gradual reduction in the strength of a response due to repetitive stimulation. Adding a new stimulus- a change in the environment- causes responsiveness to return to a high level. This is called recovery. John Bowlby's Ethological Theory of Attachment (1969) - ✔✔-recognizes the infant's emotional tie to the caregiver as an evolved response that promotes survival (the infant has innate signals that have evolved over time to keep the parent figure attached emotionally). Bowlby's 4 phases of attachment development - ✔✔-1. Attachment Phase (birth to 6 weeks) 2. "Attachment in the making" Phase (6 weeks to 8 months) 3. "Clear-Cut" Attachment Phase (6-8 months to 18 months) 4. Formation of a reciprocal relationship (18 months to 2 years) Bowlby's Preattachment phase - ✔✔-Built in signals, grasping, smiling, gazing, crying. Babies recognize mother but have not attached yet. Bowlby's "Attachment-in-the-making" phase - ✔✔-infants repsond differently to familiar caregiver than to a stranger, develop a sense of trust but do not have an issue when passed to the stranger In Bowlby's "clear-cut" attachment phase - ✔✔-babies display separation anxiety Bowlby's formation of a reciprocal relationship - ✔✔-language development promotes understanding, separation protests decrease, negotiation begins Bowlby's internal working model has been described as, " a cognitive framework comprising mental representations for understanding the world, self and others." Which of the following is NOT one of the three ain features of the internal working model? -a model of others being trustworthy - a model of the family being a safe place - a model of the self as valuable - a model of the self as effective when interacting with others. - ✔✔-A model of the family being a safe place is not apart of the INTERNAL working model. Bowl by stated that the term ____________________ is "the attachment conceptualized as being a vital and close bond with just one attachment figure." - ✔✔-Monotropy gender schema theory - ✔✔-The theory that gender-role development is influenced by the formation of schemas, or mental representations, of masculinity and femininity. Explains how the environmental pressures and the child's cognition work together to shape gender role development. Sternberg's Triarchic Theory - ✔✔-Robert Sternberg - our intelligence is best classified into three areas that predict real-world success: analytical, creative, and practical Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences - ✔✔-Howard Gardner (1983-2000)- Theory defines intelligence in terms of distinct sets of processing operations that merit individuals to engage in a wide range of culturally valued activities. 1.

They were re-interviewed at 3- to 4- year intervals over the next 20 years. The best know dilemma is the "Heinz dilemma" (pits the value of obeying the law (not stealing the drugs) against the value of human life (saving his dying wife). Kohlberg emphasized that moral maturity is determined by the way we reason about the dilemma not the content of the response. Kohlberg's stages of moral development - ✔✔-pre conventional, conventional, post conventional ( it is believed that most people never reach this level) epigenetic principle - ✔✔-Erikson, Kohlberg, and Maslow's theories are epigenetic, which means that each stage emerges from the one before it. The process follows a given order and is systematic. Labouvie-Vief's Theory - ✔✔--In early adulthood, individuals move from hypothetical to pragmatic thought--an advance in which logic is a tool for solving real-world problems -From adolescence to middle adulthood, people gain in cognitive-affective complexity--the ability to integrate objective thoughts and subjective feelings into an organized structure Levison's Seasons of Life - ✔✔-Levison (1978 - 1996) depicted adult development as a sequence of qualitatively distinct eras ( or "seasons") coinciding with Erikson's stages and separated by transitions. Yale research by Daniel Levinson - ✔✔-Found that 80% of men experienced moderate "midlife crises", and an "age 30 crisis" occurred in men if they felt it would soon be too late to make changes in their lives Vaillant's Adaptation to Life - ✔✔-20s - intimacy concerns 30s - career consolidation 40s - generative 50s-60s - "keepers of meaning" 70s - spiritual and reflective Follows Erikson's stages but fills in the gaps (Vaillant focused on only men during this study) Robert Sternberg's Triangular Theory of Love (1988 - 2006) - ✔✔-The 3 components of love are passion, commitment, and intimacy Kubler-Ross stages of dying - ✔✔-denial and isolation, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance Harry Stack Sullivan's Interpersonal Theory - ✔✔-The purpose of all behavior is to get needs met through interpersonal interactions and to decrease or avoid anxiety. (Stages from infancy to later adulthood) Maturation Theory - ✔✔-Frued and Erikson are consider to be maturationists: Behavior is guided exclusively via heredity factors until the necessary stimuli are present in the environment. An individual's neural development must be at a certain level of maturity for the behavior to unfold. Margaret Mahler - ✔✔-A psychologist who described early development as a sequential process of separation of the child from the mother or primary caregiver Separation-Individual Theory of child development - ✔✔-child's absolute dependence on the female caretaker is called "symbiosis". Difficulties in the symbiotic relationship can result in adult psychosis.

Dreams have... - ✔✔-manifest content (surface meaning), and latent content (hidden meaning) Little Hans - ✔✔-Cites PSYCHOANALYTIC theory; Hans was a small child who had difficulty going into streets and was afraid of horses biting him. Freud used psychoanalytic constructs such as the Oedipus complex and castration to anxiety to explain it. Little Albert ( Study by John Broadus Watson) - ✔✔-BEHAVIOR CONDITIONING-Little Albert learns to make associations between stimuli in the environment and reflexes; Albert shows little fear with dog, monkey, or burning newspaper, neutral stimuli since he hasn't learned to fear anything; Shows Albert a white rat while making loud clanging noise, which upsets Albert, who eventually associates white rat with being upset; Proves fear is learned.
