⩥ Development is Multideminsional.
Answer: Development has biological, cognitive, and socioemotional
dimensions.
Even within a dimension, there are many components. For example,
attention, memory, abstract thinking, speed of processing information,
and social intelligence are just a few of the components of the cognitive
dimension. No matter what your age might be, your body, mind,
emotions, and relationships are changing and affecting each other.
⩥ Development is plastic.
Answer: Plasticity means the capacity for change.
⩥ Development is Lifelong.
Answer: In the life-span perspective, early adulthood is not the endpoint
of development; rather, no age period dominates development.
,Researchers increasingly study the experiences and psychological
orientations of adults at different points in their lives.
⩥ Development is Multidisciplinary.
Answer: Psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists, neuroscientists,
and medical researchers all share an interest in unlocking the mysteries
of development through the life span.
⩥ Development is Contextual.
Answer: All development occurs within a context, or setting.
Contexts include families, schools, peer groups, churches, cities,
neighborhoods, university laboratories, countries, and so on. Each of
these settings is influenced by historical, economic, social, and cultural
factors.
⩥ Nature vs. Nurture.
Answer: "Nature" refers to genetic factors involved in development
(heredity)
"Nurture" refers to environmental factors and experiences involved in
development
⩥ Continuity vs. Discontinuity.
, Answer: "Continuity" theory says that development is a gradual,
continuous process.
"Discontinuity" theory says that development occurs in a series of
distinct stages.
⩥ Stability vs. Change.
Answer: Debate about whether we become older renditions of our early
experience (stability) or whether we develop into someone different
from who we were at an earlier point in development (change).
⩥ Frued's Psychosexual Theory of development.
Answer: Theory that as children grow up, their focus of pleasure and
sexual impulses shifts from the mouth to the anus and eventually to the
genitals. As a result, we go through five stages of psychosexual
development: oral, anal, phallic, latency, and genital. Our adult
personality is determined by the way we resolve conflicts between
sources of pleasure at each stage and the demands of reality.
⩥ Erik Erikson's stages of Psychosocial development.
Answer: Pyschosocial theory that proposes eight stages of human
development. Each stage consists of a unique developmental task that
confronts individuals with a crisis that must be resolved.
