Please record the following;
Whether you agree/disagree
How you arrived at that answerSlide2
1
Maturation only refers to
physical
growth and development.Slide3
2
The environment(nurture) in which one is raised has a lot to do with how one matures.Slide4
3
Basic emotions such as anger, fear, and joy take time to be learned.Slide5
4
The curiosity of children is not essential to proper development.Slide6
MaturationSlide7
Maturation
Many basic abilities and their emergence is tied to
maturation
Physical growth and development of the body, brain, and nervous system
When do we start to see this?Slide8
Maturation
We see humans maturing when we see them develop motor skills (walking, crawling)
The rate of maturation is
universal.
What does this mean to psychologists?
Sit Crawl Stand Walk
.Slide9
Maturation
The universal sequence of motor development follows two distinct patterns
Cephalocaudal
- meaning increased muscle control spreads from head to toe
.
Proximodistal
- meaning increased muscle control spreads from the center of the body to the
extremetiesSlide10
MaturationSlide11
Maturation
While maturation does play a huge role, the skill don’t just “happen” or “emerge”
It is also governed by a child’s level of
readiness
Idea that there is a minimum level of maturation before some skills can be learnedSlide12
Maturation
If parents attempt to
teach
children to walk, or be potty trained before their level of readiness….. Frustration is likely to occur
No actual ages…. Just weeks and months of occurrenceSlide13
Maturation
What makes a child
ready
for kindergarten?
What makes a child
ready
for high school?
What makes a child
ready
for college?Slide14
Emotional Development
Even emotions follow a pattern tied to maturation
Basic emotions of anger, fear, and joy take time to actually develop.
Infants do however show excitement
This
social smile
develops by 10 months
Why???
Distinct feelings/qualities of consciousnessSlide15
Emotional Development
Many psychologists feel that this unfolding of emotions is closely linked with the development of the nervous systemSlide16
Social Development
Babies are social creatures, and this idea of
social development
lays foundations for relations with everyone elseSlide17
Social Development
Two main ideas encompass the social development of infants
Self-Awareness
Social Referencing
Act that involves recognizing yourself
15 months
Act that involves observing others to gather information
12-14 monthsSlide18

Value Walk!!Slide27
1
It is instinctive behavior to attach/follow your mother and father.Slide28
2
Safety is the most important thing that a parent can provide for their children.Slide29
3
Commercial child care (day care) interferes with the quality of parenting and attachment between child and parent.Slide30
4
It is better to only have 1 or 2 children, so they can receive much individual attention.Slide31
Social Development
Imprinting
Konrad
Lonrenz
was interested in why baby geese follow their mothers and wanted to find an explanation.Slide32
Imprinting
Mother
Lorenz found geese aren’t born knowing that they should follow their mother, instead they follow large objects.
Why?
The mother-goose following is gained during a
critical period
early in life.Slide33
Imprinting
Imprinting
- the early and quick learning of permanent behavior patterns such as following the mother
Ducklings must imprint on something within 30 hours, or they never will.
Implications??Slide34
Does this occur in humans?
Probably not true imprinting…. But!
Emotional attachments
- or close emotional bonds are formed with primary caregivers.
Anyone else?Slide35
Does this occur in humans?
Is this a good or bad thing???
Emotional attachments
- or close emotional bonds are formed with primary caregivers.
Anyone else?
We see emotional bonds when we witness
separation anxiety
How do we see it?Slide36
Quality of Attachment
Much is learned about attachment when mothers return
Securely Attached/ stable and positive
Upset by mom’s absence, want to be near her when she returns
Insecure Avoidant/anxious bond
Tend to turn away when mother returns
Insecure Ambivalent
/
also anxious bond
Both seek to be near, and angrily resist contactSlide37
Agree?
Why?Slide38
What about fathers?
Can humans be attached to their fathers?
Usually the warmer the home environment, the more secure the children.Slide39

What is quality?
What should a parent look for in child-care?
Studies show that commercial child care does not adversely affect the attachment to parents. Slide41
Debunking Developmental psychology
After watching the following lecture, try to identify why this 12 yr. old is the way he is. Is he developmentally ahead of most other 12 yr. olds or is the whole nature of development changing? Or neither?
Is it nature or nurture?Slide42
Experiment Writing Reflection
After reading the experiment summary, and watching Harlow’s recap. Please complete the writing reflection.
