  1. Developmental Psychology The study of YOU from womb to tomb. We are going to study how we change physically, socially, cognitively and morally over our lifetimes.

  3. Piaget’s Stages of Cognitive Development • Sensorimotor • Preoperational • Concrete Operational • Formal Operational

  4. Sensorimotor Stage • 0-2 • Experience the world through our senses. (put everything in their mouths! • Do NOT have object permanence. Click Mom to see a baby with no object permanence.

  5. Conservation • Conservation refers to the idea that a quantity remains the same despite changes in appearance and is part of logical thinking. Click the boy to see kids trying to grasp conservation.

  6. Click the boy to see kids with egocentrism. Preoperational Stage • 2-7 • Have object permanence • Animism • Egocentric: cannot look at the world through anyone’s eyes but their own. • Minimal “theory of mind” • Do NOT understand concepts of conservation.

  7. Mnemonics? • SO/PECTA

  8. Concrete Operational Stage • Can demonstrate concept of conservation. • Learn to think logically • Reversibility • 5+9 = 9+5 Click the penguin to see kids try to grasp concrete logic.

  9. Formal Operational Stage • What would the world look like with no light? • Picture God • What way do you best learn? • Abstract reasoning • Manipulate objects in our minds without seeing them • Hypothesis testing • Trial and Error • Metacognition • Not every adult gets to this stage

  10. Criticisms of Piaget • Some say he underestimates the abilities of children. • Information-Processing Model says children to not learn in stages but rather a gradual continuous growth. • Studies show that our attention span grows gradually over time.

  11. 3 Big Qs Bio/Psycho/Social Lifespan Development! Bio/Psycho/Social Adolescence Adulthood & Death Pre-Natal, Infancy & Childhood Social Bio We are here Psycho Conception! Zygote/Embryo/Fetus Teratogens Reflexes/Abilities Maturation Brain Developmet Infantile Amnesia (Mods 8-9) (Cognitive Development) Jean Piaget Schemas (assimilation/accommodation) 4 Stages!! (Mod 9)

  12. Do Now  • Grab a concept map • Complete the Piaget Review • Have out your Piaget Packet from yesterday (finish if you need to)

  13. Infancy and Childhood Social Development

  14. Do Now • Complete the Piaget Practice Quiz • Read “A Father for Every Child” & “Are Fathers Essential to Children’s Well-Being?” (two contrasting viewpoints) and highlight what you find interesting. Come up with two discussion questions for the class. Be reflective of your own experience with your father, too. • Think of your happy/crappy 

  15. 3 Big Qs Bio/Psycho/Social Lifespan Development! Bio/Psycho/Social Adolescence Adulthood & Death Pre-Natal, Infancy & Childhood We are here Social Bio Psycho Attachment (Harlow’s Monkey Study) Stranger Anxiety (Mary Ainsworth) Attachment Deprivation -Daycare; Father Absence Vygotsky 3 Parenting Styles (Mod 9) Conception! Zygote/Embryo/Fetus Teratogens Reflexes/Abilities Maturation Brain Developmet Infantile Amnesia (Mods 8-9) (Cognitive Development) Jean Piaget Schemas (assimilation/accommodation) 4 Stages!! (Mod 9)

  16. Social Development • Up until about a year, infants do not mind strange people (maybe because everyone is strange to them). • At about 8-12 months , infants develop stranger anxiety.

  17. Attachment • The most important social construct an infant must develop is attachment (a bond with a caregiver).

  18. Factors of Attachment • Body Contact • Familiarity

  19. Body Contact • It was first assumed that infants became attached to those who satisfied their need for nourishment. Then this guy came along……..

  20. Harry Harlow • Harry showed that monkeys needed touch to form attachment. Click the monkey to see a video of Harlow’s experiment.

  21. Factors of Attachment • Body Contact • Familiarity

  22. Familiarity • Critical Periods: the optimal period shortly after birth when an organism’s exposure to certain stimuli or experiences produce proper development. • Those who are deprived of touch have trouble forming attachment when they are older.—Remember Genie! Click on the monkey to see what a baby monkey does when he HAS attachment and imagine what it is l ike when he does not (like above).

  23. Familiarity • Lorenz discovered that some animals form attachment through imprinting.

  24. Types of Attachment • Mary Ainsworth’s Strange Situation. Click picture to see clip of Ainsworth’s experiment.

  25. Secure Attachment Predicts Social Competence

  26. Self - Concept • A sense of one’s identity and self-worth.

  27. Dad’s Matter Too • Men are not just mobile sperm banks!!!! • Paternal separation puts children at increased risk for various psychological and social pathologies.

  28. Daycare

  29. Parenting Styles • Authoritarian Parents • Permissive Parents • Authoritative Parents

  30. Parenting Styles Reflection: Bring to class! • How would you characterize the style of parenting under which you were raised? • What specific behavioral effects of you upbringing can you identify in yourself? • How about your parents’ upbringing? How would they (or you) characterize the style of parenting used by their parents (your grandparents?) • Now think creatively about who you might have been had you been raised by other parents. Prepare two brief descriptions of how you might have developed, one for each of the two remaining styles of parenting.
