Prenatal DevelopmentPrenatal Development
Prenatal Development
• Germinal Stage
– Conception through implantation
– Zygote divides and becomes implanted in the
uterine wall
Prenatal Development
• Embryonic Stage
– Implantation until about 8th
week
– Major organ systems are formed
– Genetic code (XX or XY) causes sex organs to
differentiate
• Y sex chromosome – testes form and
produce androgens
Prenatal Development
• Embryonic Stage
– Embryo is suspended in amniotic sac
• Nutrients and wastes are exchanged with
mother through placenta
• Embryo is connected to placenta by
umbilical cord
Prenatal Development
• Fetal Stage
– Beginning of third month until birth
– Characterized by maturation and gains in size
ChildhoodChildhood
Physical Development
• Reflexes
– Simple, unlearned, stereotypical responses
elicited by specific stimuli
• Rooting and sucking, withdrawal,
startle(moro), grasping
• Motor Development
– Brain maturation and environmental factors
Motor Development
Physical Development
• Perceptual Development
– Within days, infant can track moving light
– At 2-months prefer human face as visual stimuli
• Fixation time – measure of visual preference
– Perceive depth about time
– begin crawling
• Visual cliff experiments
VIDEO: Newborns and Infants: Sensation and
Perception
Two-Month-Olds’ Preferences for Visual Stimuli
Physical Development
• Perceptual Development
– Newborns hear normally; prefer mother’s voice
• Show no preference for father’s voice
Cognitive Development
• The way in which children mentally represent and
think about the world
– Jean Piaget – Cognitive-development theory
– Lev Vygotsky – Sociocultural theory
– Lawrence Kohlberg – Theory of moral
development
Piaget’s Cognitive-Development Theory
• Schema
– “Mental structure” in organizing knowledge
• Assimilation
– Respond to new stimuli through existing habit
• Accommodation
– Create new ways of responding to objects
Stages of Cognitive-Development Theory
• Sensorimotor Stage (0-2 years old)
– Coordination of sensory information and motor
activity
– Object Permanence
• Before 6 months of age does not mentally
represent objects
VIDEO: Sensorimotor Stage
Stages of Cognitive-Development Theory
• Preoperational Stage (2-7 years old)
– Use words and symbols to represent objects
and relationships among them
– Egocentrism
– Animism
– Artificialism
– Conservation
• Objective Responsibility
VIDEO: Preoperational Stage
Stages of Cognitive-Development Theory
• Concrete Operational Stage
– Beginning of capacity for adult logic
– Decentration
– Reversibility
• Subjective Moral Judgment
VIDEO: Piaget’s Concrete Operational Stage
Evaluation of Piaget’s Theory
• Piaget tended to underestimate children’s abilities
• Egocentrism and conservation appear to be more
continuous than Piaget thought
• Developmental sequences do not vary
Lev Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory
• Continuous theory focused on influence of
culture and children’s interactions with elders
• Zone of proximal development (ZPD)
• Scaffolding
• Children internalize explanations that
encourage skill development
Lawrence Kohlberg’s
Theory of Moral Development
• Use of “moral dilemma” story to explore
reasoning of right and wrong
• Stage theory with a specific sequence
Lawrence Kohlberg’s
Theory of Moral Development
• Preconventional Level
– Base judgment on consequences of behavior
• Stage 1 – Obedience and punishment
• Stage 2 – Good behavior allows people to
satisfy their needs
Lawrence Kohlberg’s
Theory of Moral Development
• Conventional Level
– Base judgment on conformity to conventional
standards of right and wrong
• Stage 3 – Good-boy orientation
• Stage 4 – Judgments are based on rules
that maintain social order
Lawrence Kohlberg’s
Theory of Moral Development
• Postconventional Level
– Base judgment on need to maintain social
order and personal conscience
– “I fear”
– “I am trying to be moral as much as possible”
Evaluation of Kohlberg’s
Theory of Moral Development
• Research suggests moral reasoning does follow
a sequence
• Most people do not reach postconventional
level (consistent with formal operational
thought)
• Kohlberg underestimated the influence of
social, cultural, and educational institutions and
parents
Social and Emotional Development
• Erik Erikson’s Psychosocial Development
– Eight stages that represent life crises
• Trust versus Mistrust
• Autonomy versus Shame and Doubt
• Initiative vs. Guilt
• Industry versus Inferiority

Socioemotional Development
• 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
© 2008 The McGraw-Hill
Companies, Inc.
Erikson’s Theory
First 4 Stages: Childhood
1. Trust versus mistrust
2. Autonomy versus shame and doubt
3. Initiative versus guilt
4. Industry versus inferiority

Erikson’s Theory
Attachment
• Emotional tie between one animal/person and
another specific individual
– Mary Salter Ainsworth
• Behavior that defines attachment
– Attempts to maintain contact
– Anxiety when separated
Attachment
• Strange Situation
– Method to assess infants’ response to
separations and reunions with caregivers and
a stranger
• Three Types of Attachment
– Secure attachment
– Avoidant attachment
– Ambivalent/resistant attachment
Securely Attached babies: happier, more sociable, more
cooperative, have longer attention spans, less impulsive,
liked better by peers and teachers, have fewer behavior
problems.
Avoidant attachment: infants are least distressed by their
mother’s departure. Play by themselves and ignore their
mothers when they return.
Ambivalent/resistant attachment: infants are the most
emotional showing severe signs of distress when their
mothers leave and show ambivalence upon reunion by
alternately clinging to and pushing their mother away.
Stages of Attachment
Initial-preattachment phase (0-3 m)
- Indiscriminant; but show no preference
Attachment-in-the-making phase
- 3 to 4 months of age, is characterized by
preference for familiar figures.
Clear-cut-attachment phase
-Fear of strangers – 8 to 10 months
Theoretical Views of Attachment
• Behaviorists viewed attachment as learned
behavior based on caregiver’s attention
• Harry F. Harlow
– Inborn need for contact comfort
Theoretical Views of Attachment
• Konrad Lorenz
– Ethologist – attachment is an instinct
– Critical period
– Imprinting
• Ainsworth and Bowlby
– Attachment is instinctive in humans
Parenting Styles
• Diana Baumrind’s styles of parenting
– Connection between parental behavior and
development of instrumental competence
Parenting Styles
• Diana Baumrind’s styles of parenting
– Authoritative
– Authoritarian
– Permissive
– Uninvolved
Outcomes from Parenting Styles
• Authoritative
– greatest self-reliance, self esteem, social
competence, achievement motivation
• Authoritarian
– withdrawn or aggressive
Outcomes from Parenting Styles
• Permissive
– less mature, often impulsive, moody,
aggressive
• Uninvolved
– more likely to use drugs
AdolescenceAdolescence
Physical Development
• Growth spurt
– last for 2-3 years. Grow 8-12 inches.
• Puberty
– Begins with appearance of secondary sex
characteristics
– Menarche
• Usually occurs between 11 and 14
Cognitive Development
• Piaget’s Formal Operations Stage
– Classification, logical thought, ability to
hypothesis
– Abstract thinking
– Able to deal with hypothetical situations
• Adolescent Egocentrism
– Imaginary Audience
– Personal Fable
• imaginary audience
– the belief that other people are as concerned
with our thoughts and behaviors as we are
• personal fable
– the belief that our feelings and ideas are
special and unique and that we are
invulnerable
VIDEO: Abstraction and Hypothetical Propositions
Moral Reasoning
• Kohlberg’s Postconventional Level
– Many people do not reach this level
– Judgment is based on person’s own moral
standards
– Stage 5 – Laws are made to preserve order
but exceptions can occur
– Stage 6 – Adherence to universal ethical
principles
Sex Differences and Moral Reasoning
• Kohlberg’s theory shows higher levels of moral
reasoning in boys
• Carol Gilligan argues difference is result of
socialization
– Girls make judgments based on needs of
others
– Boys make judgments based on logic
Social and Emotional Development
• “Storm and stress” or calm and joyous?
• Independence is the challenge of adolescence
• Erikson’s Psychosocial Development
– Ego Identity versus Role Diffusion
• Adolescent Sexuality
– About 50% of American teens engage in
sexual intercourse
AdulthoodAdulthood
Physical Development
• Young adulthood
– Usually height of physical prowess
• Middle adulthood
– Gradual physical decline
– Women – menopause
• Late Adulthood
– Bones become brittle – greater risk for falls
– Slower response time
Cognitive Development
• Creativity can be evidenced throughout lifetime
• Memory functioning declines with age
– Crystallized intelligence
– Fluid intelligence
• Tasks that require speed and visual spatial
skills decline
• crystallized intelligence
– one’s lifetime of intellectual achievement, as
shown largely through vocabulary and
knowledge of world affairs
• fluid intelligence
– mental flexibility as shown in learning rapidly
to solve new kinds of problems
Alzheimer’s Disease
• Progressive form of mental deterioration
– Affects 1% of people at age 60; 50% past
age 85
– It is a disease, not a normal progression
Social and Emotional Development
• Great variety based on cultural expectations
and individual behavior patterns
• Trends
– More optimistic than previous generation
– Grow psychologically healthier as they
advance to middle age
Young Adulthood
• Pursuit of ‘Dream’
– Blueprint for life
Erikson’s Psychosocial Development
• Young adulthood
– Intimacy versus Isolation
• Middle adulthood
– Generativity versus Stagnation
– Midlife transition – Midlife crisis
• Late adulthood
– Ego integrity versus Despair
