Discuss the interaction of nature and nurture (including cultural variations) in the determination of behavior.
Explain the process of conception and gestation, including factors that influence successful fetal development (e.g., nutrition, illness, substance abuse).
Discuss maturation of motor skills.
Describe the influence of temperament and other social factors on attachment and appropriate socialization.
Explain the maturation of cognitive abilities (e.g., Piaget’s stages, information processing).
Compare and contrast models of moral development (e.g., Kohlberg, Gilligan).

Explain how parenting styles influence development.
Characterize the development of decisions related to intimacy as people mature.
Predict the physical and cognitive changes that emerge as people age, including steps that can be taken to maximize function.
Describe how sex and gender influence socialization and other aspects of development.
Identify key contributors in developmental psychology (e.g., Mary Ainsworth, Albert Bandura, Diana Baumrind, Erik Erikson, Sigmund Freud, Carol Gilligan, Harry Harlow, Lawrence Kohlberg, Konrad Lorenz, Jean Piaget, and Lev Vygotsky).Slide5
Evolutionary Evidence for Attachment Theory (
Bowlby
& Lorenz)
We are programmed by evolution to emit endearing behaviors - cooing, smiling, clinging. Triggers affectionate parental response & protection.
Attachment
: Deep & enduring
emotional bond
that connects one person to another across time & space.
Does not have to be
reciprocal.
One person may have an attachment with an individual which is not shared.
Attachment is characterized by specific behaviors in children, such as
seeking proximity with the attachment figure
when upset or threatened.Slide6
Evolutionary Evidence for Attachment
Theory
Children
biologically pre-programmed to form attachments
with others, because this will help them to survive.
The infant produces innate ‘social releaser’ behaviors such as crying & smiling that stimulate innate
caregiving
responses from adults. Determinant of attachment is not food but care &
responsiveness
.
Bowlby
: a child would initially form only
1 primary attachment
(
monotropy) & that the attachment figure acted as a secure base for exploring the world. Acts as a prototype for all future social relationships so disrupting it can have severe consequences.Suggests that there is a critical period for developing at attachment (about 0 -5 years). If an attachment has not developed during this period then the child will suffer from irreversible developmental consequences: such as, reduced intelligence & increased aggression.
Babies’ smiles are powerful things leaving mothers spellbound and enslaved. Who can doubt that the baby who most readily rewards his mother with a smile is the one who is best loved and best cared for?’

1957Slide7
Mid-1950s:
Behavior Theory of Attachment came into question
as a result of
Harry Harlow's famous studies
of attachment in
infant rhesus monkeys
.
Harlow removed newborn monkeys from their mothers at birth & raised them in the laboratory with two types of artificial mothers.
Which mother do you think
the monkey will choose?Slide8
1/2 fed by a
wire mother
& the other 1/2 fed by the
cloth mother
.
The young monkeys' attachment to their substitute mothers was measured by monitoring how much time the monkeys spent with each type of mother.
Which mother do you think
the monkey will choose

COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT.
Pioneers -
Jean Piaget
.
Piaget noticed that
his children were able to handle logical problems differently at different ages.
Further, he noticed that
as children age, their ability to handle logical problems changes
.
Piaget then spent years studying how cognitive development occurred on average.
From this intensive study, Piaget developed a theory of cognitive development that
described how people are able to deal with logical problems differently at different points in their lives
.Slide12
Piaget:
STAGES of Cognitive DevelopmentSlide13Slide14
STAGE THEORY
Piaget
:
all human beings pass through all stages in same order
, & we all go through ALL stages during our lifespan.
Object Permanence
:
Concept acquired in stage 2.
Lack of object permanence is why babies love the game
peekaboo
.
But it is no longer interesting for toddlers.
Conservation
:
Principle that things stay the same no matter if the form changes. (physics)Lack of conservation also can be seen in length, mass, number & volume.Slide15
Piaget believed that babies up to 18 months lacked the development to determine if an object is still there or not:
Object PermanenceSlide16
Piaget
:
most important issue that children are concerned with is adapting to their environment
(
adaptation
)
. To adapt, children use different strategies at different ages.
Accommodation
process relies on the notion that we develop a series of
schemas
to ease adaptation process.
Schema
is an organized body of knowledge. They are not part of the inborn knowledge structures of children. Slide17
Piaget:
Once we develop
schema
, we spend a lot of time
fitting new experiences into existing schema
or ---
assimilation
.
We need both
accommodate
&
assimilate
throughout life.Schemas need to be developed through experience. Process of developing new schema is called accommodation.Slide18

Critics of Piaget:
Underestimated children’s skills
on one end &
Overestimated their skills
on the other end
Several researchers rephrased Piagetian tasks &
found that
younger children were able to understand the questions & respond appropriately
Children seem to acquire cognitive abilities earlier than Piaget predicted
In addition, the
children seemed to have internal representation prior to Preoperational ages.
On the other end, another researcher gave a
variety of Piagetian tasks to college freshmen & found that only 40% of them displayed characteristics of formal operations. 100% should have been in formal operations, according to Piaget. Children may enter formal operations later in life.Slide24Slide25Slide26
Kohlberg
built upon Piaget's ideas.
Stage Theory:
people pass through stages and substages of moral reasoning.Slide27

LEV VYGOTSKY
: Contemporary Rival of Piaget
Alternative approach to cognitive development
Disagreed w/Piaget that children moved through stages of cognitive development in an orderly fashion.
Vygotsky:
children learn according to their own schedule.
Have a range of abilities under which they are able to operate.
Following an adult’s example,
they eventually develop the ability to do certain tasks alone.
This included a
cultural & language base
that helped to determine individual development.
Zone of Proximal Development
(ZPD): Gap (difference) between what a child can do w/o help & what he can do only w/support. scaffolding: help children move their ZPD. Scaffolding: children build high level cognitive functioning by isolating ZPD & providing assistance - to solve more complex problems.Slide36
Vygotsky’s
theory is
not as structured as Piaget’s
, but it provides an alternative explanation for cognitive development
.
Many argue that
Vygotsky’s
theory provides a better fit for the educational environment because of its focus on individual differencesSlide37
