Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development explains how children's thinking and reasoning abilities evolve over time. His concept of schemas is central to understanding this process.
Piaget proposed that children develop schemas, which are mental frameworks for organizing and interpreting information. These schemas evolve through two key processes:
Definition: Schemas are categories of knowledge and the process of acquiring that knowledge.
Piaget also identified important cognitive concepts that develop during childhood:
Conservation: Understanding that quantity remains the same despite changes in appearance.
Example: A child recognizing that the amount of water remains the same when poured from a short, wide glass into a tall, narrow one.
Egocentrism: The inability of young children to see situations from others' perspectives.
Highlight: Children in the preoperational stage often engage in parallel play, playing alongside rather than with other children due to their egocentric thinking.
Piaget's stages of cognitive development outline the progression of children's thinking abilities from birth through adolescence. These stages are:
Sensorimotor Stage (0-2 years):
Preoperational Stage (2-7 years):
Concrete Operational Stage (7-11 years):
Formal Operational Stage (12-18 years):
Highlight: Piaget's theory suggests that children's cognitive abilities develop in a fixed sequence, with each stage building upon the previous one.
Criticisms of Piaget's Theory:
Noam Chomsky proposed the Language Acquisition Device (LAD) theory, which suggests that humans have an innate ability to learn language.
Key points of Chomsky language acquisition device theory:
Definition: The Language Acquisition Device (LAD) is a hypothetical brain mechanism that Chomsky proposed to explain the human capacity for acquiring language.
Criticisms of Chomsky's Theory:
Emotional Development and Attachment Theory: John Bowlby's attachment theory emphasizes the importance of early relationships with caregivers.
Highlight: Secure attachment is associated with happier and healthier children, while insecure attachment may lead to behavioral problems and difficulties with affection.
Bowlby's attachment theory criticisms include:
Schaffer and Emerson's Stages of Attachment:
Nature vs. Nurture Debate:
Theories supporting nature:
Theories supporting nurture:
Gesell's Maturation Theory:
Criticisms of Gesell's theory:
Additional Theories:
Bandura's Bobo Doll Experiment: Demonstrated how children learn aggressive behaviors through observation and imitation
Stress Diathesis Model: Explains how life events (nurture) interact with genetic vulnerability (nature) to impact mental wellbeing
Holmes-Rahe Readjustment Scale: Measures stress by identifying major stressful life events
Social Disengagement Theory: Proposes that older adults naturally withdraw from social engagement
Activity Theory: Suggests that maintaining social engagement promotes health in older adults
Highlight: The nature vs. nurture debate continues to be a central topic in developmental psychology, with most modern theories acknowledging the interplay between genetic and environmental factors in shaping human development.
