Charles Spearman and Edward Thorndike made significant contributions to the field of educational psychology. Spearman proposed the two-factor theory of intelligence, which suggests that intelligence has both a general factor ("g") as well as specific factors ("s"). Thorndike conducted experiments with cats in puzzle boxes which led to his laws of learning - the law of effect, the law of exercise, and the law of readiness. These theories and laws help educators better understand how students learn and how to design effective instruction based on individual differences.
Erik Erikson proposed eight stages of psychosocial development that occur throughout the lifespan. Each stage is characterized by a conflict between positive and negative outcomes. For example, the first stage occurs in infancy and the conflict is between trust versus mistrust, depending on whether an infant's needs are reliably met. Erikson believed that how these conflicts are resolved at each stage influences personality development. The document provides details on Erikson's theory and the conflicts that characterize each of the eight stages of development.
Erickson’s psychosocial theory (psychology)Gifty Hillary
Erik Erikson developed an eight stage theory of psychosocial development, in which success or failure to resolve conflicts at each life stage influences personality development. The stages span from infancy to late adulthood and include conflicts involving trust vs mistrust in infancy, autonomy vs shame and doubt in early childhood, identity vs role confusion in adolescence, and ego integrity vs despair in late adulthood. Erikson believed that successful resolution of the conflicts at each stage leads to healthy development and the ability to move on to the next stage.

The document discusses gender and cultural differences in children's development and interactions. It explores how girls and boys interact differently, with girls interacting in a more caring way while boys are more competitive. The differences may result from family values and cultural beliefs. Understanding these differences can help teachers be more effective in reaching all students. The document also examines social beliefs and stereotypes about gender differences in areas like skills, behaviors, and expectations. Various theories are presented to explain gender typing and the development of gender roles based on biological and social influences.

This document discusses psychosocial development in middle childhood. It covers topics like self-concept development, self-esteem, emotional development, peer relationships, and family relationships. Regarding self-concept, children develop more balanced views of themselves that integrate various aspects of their identity. Their self-esteem is influenced by parenting styles, academic performance, and physical appearance. Emotionally, children learn self-regulation and can experience pride and guilt. Peer relationships become important as children form stable friendships and can understand other perspectives. Siblings provide companionship but rivalry may increase as parents compare children. Resilience comes from personal characteristics, supportive families and schools, and mentors outside the family.

The document discusses several concepts related to the Filipino personality and character, including bahala na, lakas ng loob, and pakikibaka. Bahala na refers to a determination to face uncertainty, seen as an expression of courage and acceptance of consequences. Lakas ng loob is an inner strength and resource for change that is valued in Filipino culture. Pakikibaka involves joining resistance and struggle in the face of injustice and exploitation, as reflected in songs about war and the difficulties of understanding conflict between people.
This document discusses various aspects of late adulthood, including physical, cognitive, and social development. Physically, aging affects the skin, hair, senses, brain, and other organs. Cognitive abilities like processing speed and fluid intelligence decline with age, while crystallized intelligence remains intact or increases. Socially, retirement adjustment and changes in relationships are developmental tasks. Death and dying also become more salient concerns in late life. Overall, late adulthood involves navigating physical, mental, and social changes that come with aging.
Piaget's theory of cognitive development in adolescence is discussed. During this stage, there is an explosion of new physical skills and hormonal changes transforming the body. Emotionally, adolescents develop mutual understanding, loyalty and intimacy but also experience problems like anger and depression. Cognitively, they become more self-conscious and capable of hypothetical-deductive reasoning, which allows for abstract thinking and idealism when considering possibilities. Through decision making, adolescents build confidence by learning from successes and failures.
Schaie's lifespan cognitive theory proposes 7 stages of adult cognitive development:
1. The acquisitive stage from childhood to adolescence focuses on acquiring knowledge for its own sake.
2. The achieving stage from ages 20-30s uses knowledge to pursue career and family goals.
3. The responsible stage from 30s-40s focuses on solving practical professional and personal situations.
4. The executive stage from 40s-50s takes a broader perspective including concerns about society and politics.
5. The reintegrative stage from 50s-60s focuses on personally meaningful tasks.
Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development identifies eight stages through which people progress from infancy to late adulthood. During adolescence (ages 13-18), the central concern is identity development as teens search for who they are and their place in the world. Key tasks include distinguishing themselves from childhood, gaining peer acceptance, developing competence, and making commitments to beliefs and activities. Psychosocial development continues into young adulthood as people choose careers, pursue independence, form intimate relationships, and establish personal values and philosophies.
Erik Erikson's psychosocial development theory proposes that social and emotional development occurs through eight stages across the lifespan. Each stage presents a psychosocial crisis that focuses on developing certain virtues. For example, infants work on developing hope by resolving the trust vs mistrust crisis through bonding with caregivers. Subsequent crises center around autonomy, initiative, industry, identity, intimacy, generativity and integrity. Successful completion of each stage helps with a healthy personality and prepares individuals for future stages. The document provides an overview of Erikson's eight stages of psychosocial development.
Erik Erikson proposed an 8-stage theory of psychosocial development across the lifespan. Each stage is characterized by a developmental crisis between two opposing psychosocial attitudes. Successful completion of each stage results in a healthy personality and the acquisition of basic virtues. The stages include trust vs mistrust in infancy, autonomy vs shame and doubt in early childhood, initiative vs guilt in play age children, industry vs inferiority in school-aged children, identity vs role confusion in adolescence, intimacy vs isolation in young adults, generativity vs stagnation in adulthood, and ego integrity vs despair in late adulthood.
When working with individuals in the LGBT community, social workers must acknowledge how societal oppression and discrimination impact clients. To provide culturally competent care, social workers should understand the psychosocial stressors facing the LGBT community, such as discriminatory policies, violence, and mental health issues stemming from higher rates of bullying, abuse, and isolation. As advocates, managers, and educators, social workers are positioned to assess these influences, facilitate discussions around policy reform, and utilize treatment approaches that are sensitive to LGBT experiences and needs.
1) Edward Lee Thorndike was an American psychologist who pioneered research in human and animal learning through experiments using puzzle boxes with cats.
2) He developed the law of effect, which states that behaviors followed by satisfying consequences become strengthened through repeated experiences.
3) Thorndike's theory of connectionism represented the original stimulus-response framework of behavioral psychology, where learning occurs through associations forming between stimuli and responses that are strengthened or weakened based on experiences.
1) Edward Lee Thorndike was an American psychologist known for establishing the law of effect and pioneering the field of educational psychology.
2) Through experiments with cats in puzzle boxes, Thorndike determined that learning is strengthened when responses are rewarded and weakened when responses are punished, establishing his law of effect.
3) Thorndike spent his career at Columbia University studying human learning, education, and mental testing, and his work significantly influenced the field of behavioral psychology and education.
The theory of personality traits aims to be scientific but has limitations in its data collection and analysis. Early theorists collected subjective self-report data from individuals whose personalities aligned with their theories, rather than a diverse sample. While the biological approach attempted an explanation through concepts like temperament, the evidence for specific temperaments was not well established. Overall, the trait theory provides a starting point but has room for improvement in its scientific methodology.

Chapter 1 Introduction to Social Psychology.pptxqulbabbas4
Social psychology seeks to understand individual behavior and thought in social situations. It studies how individuals are influenced by real, imagined or implied others. Social psychology employs the scientific method to test ideas about human social behavior. As a science, it aims to describe, predict, determine causality, and explain social phenomena. Some key principles are that behavior is purposive, influenced by both disposition and situation, and interpreted and shaped by culture.
Standardized testing for public school systems has been controversial. While IQ testing was originally intended to identify learning disabilities, it is now used to measure student intelligence and determine school funding. Critics argue that intelligence is too complex to quantify with numbers and that standardized tests do not consider important factors like culture or a student's environment. The document discusses the origins of IQ testing and debates around using testing to measure intelligence.

The document discusses issues with cultural bias in IQ tests. It begins by using an analogy of giving different animals the same test of climbing a tree, which would clearly favor some over others. It then provides background on the origins of IQ tests in 1904 when Alfred Binet created the first intelligence test to help identify students struggling in France. The test was later expanded by Lewis Terman into the Stanford-Binet intelligence test used in the US. However, the document notes that IQ tests may be culturally biased as they often reflect the cultural experiences of their creators rather than being a fair assessment of intelligence across different cultures.
The document discusses various sources of knowledge and which source is most important. It outlines several ways knowledge can be acquired, including sensory perception, logical reasoning, deductive and inductive reasoning, authority, traditions, experience, naturalistic inquiry, trial and error, intuition, learning, and the scientific approach. Sensory perception and logical reasoning are described as two important sources. The document also defines research, explaining that it is a systematic inquiry using scientific methods. It outlines several key characteristics of research and different types of research including basic, applied, problem-oriented, problem-solving, qualitative, and quantitative research.

Howard Gardner proposed the theory of multiple intelligences, which described intelligence as consisting of eight specific abilities rather than a single ability. These include spatial, linguistic, logical-mathematical, bodily-kinaesthetic, musical, intrapersonal, interpersonal and naturalistic intelligences. Charles Spearman developed his theory of general intelligence ("g") through statistical analysis showing that individuals who perform well on one type of cognitive test tend to perform well on others. While Spearman believed intelligence could be measured by IQ tests, Gardner felt it could not be defined by one measure. Both theories were initially criticized for lacking empirical evidence but succeeded in broadening the definition of intelligence and influencing modern theories.

Edward Lee Thorndike was an American psychologist known for developing the theory of connectionism. Some key aspects of his theory include:
1) Learning is based on forming associations between stimuli and responses through processes like trial and error.
2) The strength of associations is strengthened or weakened based on the Law of Effect - whether the response results in satisfaction or annoyance.
3) His classic experiment involved a cat trapped in a puzzle box that learned to escape through trial and error, demonstrating his theories of learning.
B.F. Skinner was an influential American psychologist who developed the theory of behaviorism. Behaviorism views human behavior as responses to environmental stimuli and is learned through reinforcement or punishment. Skinner argued that behavior is shaped by consequences and that understanding behavior means examining relationships between actions and their effects. Key aspects of Skinner's theory included operant conditioning, the use of reinforcement to increase behaviors, and the view that language is learned through parental positive reinforcement of children's vocalizations. While behaviorism was influential, Skinner's theories were also criticized for overgeneralizing from limited experiments and not explaining more complex behaviors.
The sociocultural perspective emphasizes the important role that mentors like parents and teachers play in shaping child development. Lev Vygotsky's work in the early 20th century established the foundation of sociocultural theory, which views cognitive development as occurring through social interactions within cultural contexts. According to Vygotsky, language acquisition stems from social interactions and guided learning aided by those in more knowledgeable positions. He asserted that culture influences cognitive development and that skills are acquired in a child's zone of proximal development through collaboration. Vygotsky's theories on language development, inner speech, private speech, and the role of culture revolutionized the field.
Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) was developed by Albert Bandura in the 1960s as an expansion of Social Learning Theory. SCT posits that learning occurs through dynamic interactions between personal factors, environmental influences, and individual behavior. Key concepts of SCT include reciprocal determinism in which behavior is influenced by cognitive and external social factors, observational learning by which individuals can learn new behaviors through observing others, and self-efficacy which refers to one's confidence in their own abilities. SCT emphasizes the importance of cognitive processes and social experiences in learning and behavior.
Having a solid research topic provides focus and helps identify important areas to explore and analyze, while setting manageable limits. The document discusses the importance of research topics and introduces several potential education-focused topics, such as studying teachers' coping mechanisms during the pandemic, the benefits of asynchronous learning, how students apply critical thinking online, and parents' perspectives on homeschooling. Suggested topics also focus on interventions for students with learning disabilities during the pandemic and the effects of social media and television on children's language development and education.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

3. INTRODUCTION
Educational psychology involves the
study of how people learn, including
teaching methods, instructional
processes, and individual differences
in learning. The goal is to understand
how people learn and retain new
information.
4. INTRODUCTION
This branch of
psychology involves not just
the learning process of early
childhood and adolescence
but includes the social,
emotional, and cognitive
processes that are involved
in learning throughout the
entire lifespan.
The field of educational
psychology incorporates a
number of other disciplines,
including developmental
psychology, behavioral
psychology, and cognitive
psychology.
6. ALL ABOUT CHARLES
SPEARMAN
Charles E. Spearman was a British
psychologist, who was born on September
10, 1863, in London, England. He is the
pioneer of a popular statistical method
‘factor analysis’ and is also known for his
work on ‘Spearman’s rank correlation
coefficient’ and his ‘two-factor theory of
intelligence.’
7. ALL ABOUT CHARLES
SPEARMAN
He wanted to study philosophy, but later, he realized
that the advancement to the concepts of philosophy
can only be done through psychology, which
eventually motivated him to study psychology. In
1904, he published his paper on ‘factor analysis of
intelligence’ and developed his two-factor theory of
intelligence. He completed his PhD at Leipzig
University, Germany, where he worked with the
‘Experimental Psychology’ founder ‘Wilhelm Wundt.’
Later, he worked as a professor in the University
College, London, and he died on September 17,
1945.
9. TWO-FACTOR
THEORY
Charles Edward Spearman proposed his two-factor theory of
intelligence in 1904. He was the first who introduced the concept of
general intelligence called the ”g” factor. To develop his theory, he
analyzed different mental aptitude and cognitive tests given by the
participants. He noticed that the scores of the same participants
were almost similar in every test. Those who had a good score in
one aptitude test had also scored well in other aptitude tests, and
those who performed badly in one test also performed similarly in
other tests, which represents that there exists a factor that is
common to all the intellectual and cognitive abilities of the person.
10. TWO-FACTOR THEORY MODEL
Spearman stated that various mental
traits are not independent of each
other, and there exists a common
factor in all the cognitive abilities of the
person, he called this common factor a
general factor or ”g” factor. He
proposed that intelligence consists of
two factors, i.e., the ”g” factor (general
ability) and the ”s” factor (specific
ability), where the ”g” factor is involved
in every general mental ability task of
the person, and the ”s” factor is
responsible for only the specific
intellectual abilities of the person.
11. According to Spearman, every
individual is born with a different level
of the ”g” factor, and the greater the
”g” factor, the greater are the
chances that the person will succeed
in various aspects of life, whereas
the ”s” factor is not inborn, people
acquire this factor through
experiences and from their
surrounding environment
The ”g” factor is shared with
every other cognitive or
intellectual activity of the
person, but the ”s” factor is
not shared with different
intellectual activities, it’s
specific to a particular
activity.
12. CHARACTERISTICS OF “G” FACTOR
It is general mental
energy
It is universal inborn
ability
The amount of “g”
differs from every
individual
Greater the “g” in
individual, the greater
the probabilty he will
succeed in life
13. Components of General Intelligence
1. Knowledge
2. Quantitative
Reasoning
3. Fluid
Reasoning
4. Visual-Spatial
Reasoning
5. Working Memory
14. CHARACTERISTICS OF “S” FACTOR
Individuals differ in
the amount of “S”
ability
It is learned and
acquired in the
environment
It varies from activity
to activity in the same
individual
15. Spearman’s two-factor theory can be applied in the education sector to analyze the
intellectual abilities of children. As we have discussed in this article, every person
possesses different levels of “g” and “s” factors. The students need different degrees
of “g” and “s” factors to perform well in different academic subjects. For example, the
student’s performance in mathematics could be due to his general intelligence and
his specific numerical abilities, i.e., g+s1. Similarly, in literature, it may be because of
g+s2 factors, and in science, it may be because of g+s3, and so on. Since the “g”
factor is common in all specific activities, the performance of the student in
academics can be analyzed through their “g” factor. The “g” factor of the students
can be checked through a variety of intelligence quotient tests that have a high “g”
factor correlation.

17. ALL ABOUT EDWARD
THORNDIKE
Edward Thorndike was an influential psychologist
who is often referred to as the founder of modern
educational psychology. He was perhaps best-known
for his famous puzzle box experiments with cats
which led to the development of his law of effect.
Thorndike was elected president of the American
Psychological Association in 1912 and became one
of the very first psychologists to be admitted to the
National Academy of Sciences in 1917. Today,
Thorndike is perhaps best remembered for his
famous animal experiments and for the law of effect.
18. ALL ABOUT EDWARD
THORNDIKE
Thorndike graduated from Wesleyan University in
1895. He studied animal behavior with William
James at Harvard University (1895–97) and
with James McKeen Cattell at Columbia University,
where he received his Ph.D. (1898) and where he
spent most of his career. He first proposed his two
behavioral laws, the law of effect and the law of
exercise, in his doctoral dissertation, which was
published in 1911 as Animal Intelligence. He
regarded adaptive changes in animal behaviors
as analogous to human learning and suggested that
behavioral associations (connections) could be
predicted by application of the two laws.
19.
20. THORNDIKE’S PUZZLE BOX
Thorndike felt that the
learning was a matter of
creating associations
between stimuli and
response and no
speculation about mind
was necessary or useful.
Through long, extensive
research with these
animals, he constructed
device called puzzle
box.
The puzzle box was
approximately 20 inches long,
15 inches wide and 11 inches
tall. The box had a door that
was pulled open by a weight
attached to a string that ran
over a pulley and was attached
to the door. The string attached
to the door led to a lever or
button inside the box. When the
animal pressed the bar or
pulled the lever, the string
attached to the door would
cause the weight to lift and the
door to open.
21. At first, cat put in the cage
explored restlessly, but did
not know how to escape.
Eventually, they stepped on
the foot switch and the trap
door opened. On succeeding
trials, they operated the
switch faster.
THORNDIKE’S PUZZLE BOX
22. Thorndike concluded that all animals
learn, solely by trial and error or
reward and punishment. He used the
cat’s behavior in the puzzle box to
describe what happens when all the
beings learn together.
“All learning involves the formation of
connection and connections were
strengthened according to law of effect.
Intelligence is the ability to form connections
and humans are the most evolved animal
because they form more connections than any
other being.”
24. Law of READINESS
The law of readiness describes those situations in
which the person, who learns either invites the
object of his/her learning or rejects it. Readiness
means a preparation of action. If a person is not
prepared to learn, then learning cannot be instilled
in him/her.
Readiness includes all those preparatory adjustments
which immediately precede the activity. Reminding the
learner of his/her part experiences, the understanding of
new things, diverting attention towards the subject to be
learned changing the environment to suit the learning are
all included in readiness. The readiness creates a mental
set for learning.
25. In Thorndike’s view the law of readiness is active in
three following conditions:
When conduction unit is
prepared to go into
action, its work is quite
satisfactory because
nothing is done to alter
its working.
The inactivity of a
conduction unit
and any reaction
may arise in
connection with
that deficiency.
When a conduction unit
is forced to act
while it is not
prepared to do so,
its behavior is of a
nature calculated to
excite anger.
26. Law of EXERCISE
The second important law has two aspects. It
is based on law of use and disuse. The law of
use states, “When a modifiable connection is
made between a situation and a response, that
connection’s strength is being increased”.
Similarly, the law of disuse states, “when a
modifiable connection is not made between a
situation and response over a length of time, the
connection’s strength is decreased.”
27. The repeated application of an activity fixes it firmly in the
mind, While on the other hand, the relation is weakened
through continuous disuse. Drill and Practice helps in
increasing efficiency and durability of learning.
According to Thorndike’s S-R bond theory, the
connections are strengthened with trial and practice.
Whenever, there is an appropriate situation, the activity
which is firmly entrenched, might take place. It is the
experience that whenever any action is repeated, it
becomes easy and prompts. Learning and relearning
helps in mastering the activity.
Law of EXERCISE
28. The meaning of the law of effect is the
effect of learning. The trial or steps
leading to satisfaction stamps in the
bond or connection. Satisfying states
lead to consolidation and strengthening
of connection, whereas dissatisfaction
annoyance or pain lead to the
weakening or stamping out of the
connection.
Law of EFFECT
29. Success brings with it satisfaction and along with it
a strengthening of the relation of the experiences.
Failure increases dissatisfaction and the absence
of the relation among the experiences Weakens
them.
The success can be compared to reward and
failure to punishment. And the desire to repeat
Success or avoid failure as the inevitable
antecedents
Law of EFFECT
30. In two factor theory, performance
by the student are determined by
the G and S factor
The total intelligence of an
individual is the sum total of G
and S factors
The performance of a particular
task depends on the G factor
(general ability) and the
particular S factor (specific
ability)
KEY
TAKEAWAYS
31. In theories of learning, Law of Readiness
states that when an animal is ready to learn,
it is more likely to do so. A satisfied situation
is achieved if an animal is ready to learn
and can do so. If it is ready to learn and not
able to do so or is not ready to learn and
forced to do so, an annoying situation will
be achieved.
In law of effect, suggests that stimuli that
occur because of a response can increase
(or decrease) the likelihood of making the
response again. A satisfying stimulus is one
which an animal chooses to maintain or
does nothing to avoid. This behavior is
'stamped in'. An annoying stimulus is one
that an animal will attempt to end or avoid
altogether.
In law of exercise, This suggests that by
exercising frequently and vigorously, bonds
between stimuli and responses are
strengthened. Thorndike later repealed this
law showing that repetition does not cause
learning.
KEY
TAKEAWAYS
32. SUMMARY
One of the contributors in Educational Psychology is Charles
Spearman and Edward Thorndike. They both have created laws of learning
and theory about intelligence to help understand the behavior of the
students better. Through this, educators could formulate a better and
suitable academic program and activities for all types of students. Charles
Spearman’s two factor theory suggests that every individual is born with a
different level of the ”g” factor, and the greater the ”g” factor, the greater are
the chances that the person will succeed in various aspects of life, whereas
the ”s” factor is not inborn, people acquire this factor through experiences
and from their surrounding environment. This theory is beneficial for the
educators to create tasks and activities that could cater all the needs of the
students based on their g and s factors. In addition, Edward Thorndike’s
learning theories had built a great benefit to the education as his
experiments helps understand every student’s behavior better. The law of
readiness, exercise, and effect can help the educators in formulating the
best teaching strategies for their class.
