Development
Nature – Biological Inheritance Nurture – Environmental Experiences Optimal experiences – Individuals
take active roles in their own development
Early Experience versus Later Experience

Early vs Later Experiences Early Some psychologists believe
that unless infants experience warm, nurturing care in the first year of life, they will not develop to their full potential
early experience doctrine rests on the belief that each life is an unbroken trail on which a psychological quality can be traced back to its origin
later experience: liken development in later years to the ebb and flow of a river.
Later experience advocates argue that children are responsive to change and that sensitive caregiving is just as important later as it is earlier

Cognitive
Jean Piaget (1896-1980) Children actively construct their
cognitive world using… Schemas – concepts or frameworks that
organize information Assimilation – incorporate new info into
existing schemas Accomodation – adjust existing schemas
to incorporate new information

PiagetSwiss psychologist Jean Piaget (1926, 1977) spent over 50 years exploring how a child’s thought processes develop.
Piaget’s Stages of Cognitive DevelopmentStage Age (Years)Major Characteristics
Sensorimotor
Preoperational
Concrete operational
Formal operational

• Infant understands world through sensory and motor experiences• Achieves object permanence• Exhibits emergence of symbolic
thought• Child uses symbolic thinking in the form of
words and images to represent objects and experiences• Symbolic thinking enables child to engage in pretend play• Thinking displays egocentrism,
irreversibility, and centration• Child can think logically about concrete
events• Grasps concepts of conservation and serial
ordering• Adolescent can think more logically,
abstractly, and flexibly• Can form hypotheses and systematically
test them

Evaluating Piaget’s Theory Some cognitive abilities emerge
earlier than Piaget thought Piaget placed too much emphasis on
discrete stages and ignored individual differences
Culture and environment also influence development
![Page 8: Ap psych human development](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082723/5443a27a8d7f72f4308b52cd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Vygotsky’s Theory
the culture in which we are raised significantly affects our cognitive development• Cognitive development occurs as a consequence of
social interactions in which children work with others to jointly solve problems.
• Children’s cognitive abilities increase when they encounter information that falls within their zone of proximal development (ZPD).
• ZPD is the level at which a child can almost, but not fully, comprehend or perform a task on his or her own. When children receive information that falls within the ZPD, they can increase understanding or master a new task.

Vygotsky’s Theory
Although the performances of the two children initially working at a task without aid are similar, the second child benefits more from aid and thus has a larger zone of proximal development.Child A Child B

Socioemotional
Erik Erikson (1902-1994) Theory emphasizes lifelong
development Eight psychosocial stages of
development Each stage represents a
developmental task Crisis that must be resolved Personal competence or weakness

Erikson

Evaluating Erikson
Primary focus on case-study research
Omitted important developmental tasks
Development is a lifelong challenge

Infant Attachment
The close emotional bond between an infant and its caregiver
Typically develops during first year of life
May provide important foundation for subsequent development
Attachment intensifies at 6-7 months
![Page 14: Ap psych human development](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082723/5443a27a8d7f72f4308b52cd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Infant Attachment
Harry Harlow – Infant rhesus monkeys What matters? Nourishment or contact Choose between two surrogate “mothers”
Cold wire mother versus warm cloth mother Infants preferred cloth mother across situations
Contact comfort is critical to attachment

Infant Attachment
Mary Ainsworth – Strange Situation Procedure: Caregivers leave infant
alone with stranger, then return Secure Attachment: Use caregiver as
a base for exploration; happy when caregiver returns
Insecure Attachment: Does not care if caregiver gone

Temperament
An individual’s behavioral style or characteristic way of responding
Three clusters of temperament Easy Difficult: can cry often, irregular routines slow-to-warm-up: low activity level
Another perspective on temperament Effortful control, self-regulation, and
negative affectivity
