  1. Introduction to Psychology Class 7: Developmental Psychology Myers: 104-114, 117-123, 129-132, 134-135 June 21, 2006

  2. Overview • Physical development • Cognitive development - Stages - Morality - Language • Psychosocial development - Attachment - Parenting - Love

  3. Piaget’s stages Sensorimotor stage Preoperational stage Concrete Operational stage Formal Operational stage

  4. Sensorimotor stage (0-2 years) • Sensations(sensori)and actions(motor) • Object permanence at 8 months

  5. Preoperational stage (2-6 years) • Represent things with words, symbols, images • Lack logical reasoning, more intuitive • Egocentrism • Language development • Theory of Mind “Cut it up into a LOT of slices, Mom. I’m really hungry!”

  6. Concrete operational stage (7-11 years) • Conservation • Think logically • Classify into sets and subsets • Do simple math

  7. Formal operational stage (12+ years) • Abstract reasoning • Higher order math • If-then thought • Idealistic thought • Young scientists

  8. Morality Should Heinz have done that? A woman was near death from a special kind of cancer. There was one drug that the doctors thought might save her. It was a form of radium that a druggist in town had recently discovered. The drug was expensive to make, but the druggist was charging ten times what the drug cost him to make. He paid $200 for the radium and charged $2,000 for the drug. The sick woman's husband, Heinz, went to everyone he knew to borrow the money, but he could only get together about $ 1,000. He told the druggist that his wife was dying and asked him to sell it cheaper or let him pay later. But the druggist said: "No, I discovered the drug and I'm going to make money from it." Heinz got desperate and broke into the man's store to steal the drug-for his wife.

  9. Language Development • Babbling stage (4 months) • One-word stage (1 year) • Two-word stage, telegraphic speech (2 years) • Rapid development into complete sentences (2+ years) What is over-regularization?

  10. Attachment Infants in a “Strange Situation” (Ainsworth) Secure Anxious-Ambivalent Dismissing-Avoidant Fearful-Avoidant

  11. Attachment styles in adults (Hazan & Shaver) • SECURE"I find it relatively easy to get close to others and am comfortable depending on them and having them depend on me. I don't worry about being abandoned or about someone getting too close to me." • AVOIDANT"I am somewhat uncomfortable being close to others; I find it difficult to trust them completely, difficult to allow myself to depend on them. I am nervous when anyone gets too close, and often, others want me to be more intimate than I feel comfortable being." • ANXIOUS-AMBIVALENT"I find that others are reluctant to get as close as I would like. I often worry that my partner doesn't really love me or won't want to stay with me. I want to get very close to my partner, and this sometimes scares people away."

  12. Parenting Four basic styles (Baumrind) RESPONSIVE Low High DEMANDING Low High AUTHORITARIAN AUTHORITATIVE DISENGAGED PERMISSIVE

  13. Love Triangular Theory of Love (Sternberg)
