Question 1 4 / 4 pts Which theorist or theory describing development do you agree with the most? Summarize this theory and describe why you agree with it. Your Answer: There is not one developmental theorist or theory I particularly agree with, but the one I find the most interesting is Freud's theory. Freud believed in psychosexual stages from infancy to adulthood. He stated that unsuccessful completion of a certain stage would result in a person becoming fixated on an erogenous part of the body, which in turn leads to the individual expressing specific personality traits.His theory makes sense to me. For instance, in the oral stage, the infant is fixated on their mouth, and as an adult they may become smokers because they continually seek pleasure to the mouth.6/11/22, 1:21 PM 2/15 fixated Your Answer: fixated Freud believed that unsuccessful completion of a psychosexual stage would result in a person becoming on an erogenous part of the body.

Compare and contrast Assimilation and Accommodation. In your answer, be sure to describe each and describe how they differ from one another. Then, give a specific example of each. Finally, give a personal example of when you engaged in either assimilation or accommodation (be sure to say which one that you are describing!). Note: the module video used the example of eating food to illustrate these points. You must choose different examples. Your Answer: Assimilation and accommodation both involve processing new information. Assimilation is when you use exisiting schemes to make sense of new information. An example of this would be when a person is cooking and they come across a term they do not recognize in the recipe, they use context clues to figure out the meaning. Accommodation is when you take in new information and relate it to existing schemas. An example of this would be when a person is in school and associates a new concept with something they have already learned. A personal example I have of acommodation is from learning new concepts in this class and associated to exisitng things I have learned. Correct!
