Psychology Chapter 3
- 1. CHAPTER 3 The Voyage Through the Life Span
- 2. Learning Outcomes • Explain prenatal development and the role that sex hormones play. • Explain the physical, cognitive, moral, social, and emotional development of children. Learning Outcomes
- 3. Learning Outcomes • Explain the physical, cognitive, moral, social and emotional development of adolescents. • Explain the physical, cognitive, moral, social, and emotional development of adults. Learning Outcomes
- 4. Truth or Fiction? Your heart started beating when you were only one-fifth of an inch long and weighed a fraction of an ounce. Prior to 6 months, or so, of age, “out of sight” is literally “out of mind.”
- 5. Truth or Fiction? The architect Frank Lloyd Wright designed New York’s innovative spiral-shaped Guggenheim Museum when he was 65 years old. Alzheimer’s disease is a normal part of aging.
- 7. Prenatal Development • Germinal Stage – Conception through implantation – Zygote divides and becomes implanted in the uterine wall
- 8. Prenatal Development • Embryonic Stage – Implantation until about 8th week – Major organ systems are formed – Genetic code (XX or XY) causes sex organs to differentiate • Y sex chromosome – testes form and produce androgens
- 9. Prenatal Development • Embryonic Stage – Embryo is suspended in amniotic sac • Nutrients and wastes are exchanged with mother through placenta • Embryo is connected to placenta by umbilical cord
- 10. Prenatal Development • Fetal Stage – Beginning of third month until birth – Characterized by maturation and gains in size
- 13. Physical Development • Reflexes – Simple, unlearned, stereotypical responses elicited by specific stimuli • Rooting and sucking, withdrawal, startle(moro), grasping • Motor Development – Brain maturation and environmental factors
- 15. Physical Development • Perceptual Development – Within days, infant can track moving light – At 2-months prefer human face as visual stimuli • Fixation time – measure of visual preference – Perceive depth about time – begin crawling • Visual cliff experiments
- 16. VIDEO: Newborns and Infants: Sensation and Perception
- 17. Two-Month-Olds’ Preferences for Visual Stimuli
- 18. Physical Development • Perceptual Development – Newborns hear normally; prefer mother’s voice • Show no preference for father’s voice
- 19. Cognitive Development • The way in which children mentally represent and think about the world – Jean Piaget – Cognitive-development theory – Lev Vygotsky – Sociocultural theory – Lawrence Kohlberg – Theory of moral development
- 20. Piaget’s Cognitive-Development Theory • Schema – “Mental structure” in organizing knowledge • Assimilation – Respond to new stimuli through existing habit • Accommodation – Create new ways of responding to objects
- 21. Stages of Cognitive-Development Theory • Sensorimotor Stage (0-2 years old) – Coordination of sensory information and motor activity – Object Permanence • Before 6 months of age does not mentally represent objects
- 23. Stages of Cognitive-Development Theory • Preoperational Stage (2-7 years old) – Use words and symbols to represent objects and relationships among them – Egocentrism – Animism – Artificialism – Conservation • Objective Responsibility
- 25. Stages of Cognitive-Development Theory • Concrete Operational Stage – Beginning of capacity for adult logic – Decentration – Reversibility • Subjective Moral Judgment
- 26. VIDEO: Piaget’s Concrete Operational Stage
- 27. Evaluation of Piaget’s Theory • Piaget tended to underestimate children’s abilities • Egocentrism and conservation appear to be more continuous than Piaget thought • Developmental sequences do not vary
- 28. Lev Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory • Continuous theory focused on influence of culture and children’s interactions with elders • Zone of proximal development (ZPD) • Scaffolding • Children internalize explanations that encourage skill development
- 29. Lawrence Kohlberg’s Theory of Moral Development • Use of “moral dilemma” story to explore reasoning of right and wrong • Stage theory with a specific sequence
- 30. Lawrence Kohlberg’s Theory of Moral Development • Preconventional Level – Base judgment on consequences of behavior • Stage 1 – Obedience and punishment • Stage 2 – Good behavior allows people to satisfy their needs
- 31. Lawrence Kohlberg’s Theory of Moral Development • Conventional Level – Base judgment on conformity to conventional standards of right and wrong • Stage 3 – Good-boy orientation • Stage 4 – Judgments are based on rules that maintain social order
- 33. Lawrence Kohlberg’s Theory of Moral Development • Postconventional Level – Base judgment on need to maintain social order and personal conscience – “I fear” – “I am trying to be moral as much as possible”
- 34. Evaluation of Kohlberg’s Theory of Moral Development • Research suggests moral reasoning does follow a sequence • Most people do not reach postconventional level (consistent with formal operational thought) • Kohlberg underestimated the influence of social, cultural, and educational institutions and parents
- 35. Social and Emotional Development • Erik Erikson’s Psychosocial Development – Eight stages that represent life crises • Trust versus Mistrust • Autonomy versus Shame and Doubt • Initiative vs. Guilt • Industry versus Inferiority
- 37. © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Socioemotional Development • Erik Erikson (1902-1994) • Theory emphasizes lifelong development • Eight psychosocial stages of development • Each stage represents a developmental task – Crisis that must be resolved – Personal competence or weakness
- 38. © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Erikson’s Theory First 4 Stages: Childhood 1. Trust versus mistrust 2. Autonomy versus shame and doubt 3. Initiative versus guilt 4. Industry versus inferiority
- 39. © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Erikson’s Theory
- 40. Attachment • Emotional tie between one animal/person and another specific individual – Mary Salter Ainsworth • Behavior that defines attachment – Attempts to maintain contact – Anxiety when separated
- 41. Attachment • Strange Situation – Method to assess infants’ response to separations and reunions with caregivers and a stranger • Three Types of Attachment – Secure attachment – Avoidant attachment – Ambivalent/resistant attachment
- 42. Securely Attached babies: happier, more sociable, more cooperative, have longer attention spans, less impulsive, liked better by peers and teachers, have fewer behavior problems. Avoidant attachment: infants are least distressed by their mother’s departure. Play by themselves and ignore their mothers when they return. Ambivalent/resistant attachment: infants are the most emotional showing severe signs of distress when their mothers leave and show ambivalence upon reunion by alternately clinging to and pushing their mother away.
- 43. Stages of Attachment Initial-preattachment phase (0-3 m) - Indiscriminant; but show no preference Attachment-in-the-making phase - 3 to 4 months of age, is characterized by preference for familiar figures. Clear-cut-attachment phase -Fear of strangers – 8 to 10 months
- 44. Theoretical Views of Attachment • Behaviorists viewed attachment as learned behavior based on caregiver’s attention • Harry F. Harlow – Inborn need for contact comfort
- 45. Theoretical Views of Attachment • Konrad Lorenz – Ethologist – attachment is an instinct – Critical period – Imprinting • Ainsworth and Bowlby – Attachment is instinctive in humans
- 46. Parenting Styles • Diana Baumrind’s styles of parenting – Connection between parental behavior and development of instrumental competence
- 47. Parenting Styles • Diana Baumrind’s styles of parenting – Authoritative – Authoritarian – Permissive – Uninvolved
- 48. Outcomes from Parenting Styles • Authoritative – greatest self-reliance, self esteem, social competence, achievement motivation • Authoritarian – withdrawn or aggressive
- 49. Outcomes from Parenting Styles • Permissive – less mature, often impulsive, moody, aggressive • Uninvolved – more likely to use drugs
- 51. Physical Development • Growth spurt – last for 2-3 years. Grow 8-12 inches. • Puberty – Begins with appearance of secondary sex characteristics – Menarche • Usually occurs between 11 and 14
- 52. Cognitive Development • Piaget’s Formal Operations Stage – Classification, logical thought, ability to hypothesis – Abstract thinking – Able to deal with hypothetical situations • Adolescent Egocentrism – Imaginary Audience – Personal Fable
- 53. • imaginary audience – the belief that other people are as concerned with our thoughts and behaviors as we are • personal fable – the belief that our feelings and ideas are special and unique and that we are invulnerable
- 54. VIDEO: Abstraction and Hypothetical Propositions
- 55. Moral Reasoning • Kohlberg’s Postconventional Level – Many people do not reach this level – Judgment is based on person’s own moral standards – Stage 5 – Laws are made to preserve order but exceptions can occur – Stage 6 – Adherence to universal ethical principles
- 56. Sex Differences and Moral Reasoning • Kohlberg’s theory shows higher levels of moral reasoning in boys • Carol Gilligan argues difference is result of socialization – Girls make judgments based on needs of others – Boys make judgments based on logic
- 57. Social and Emotional Development • “Storm and stress” or calm and joyous? • Independence is the challenge of adolescence • Erikson’s Psychosocial Development – Ego Identity versus Role Diffusion • Adolescent Sexuality – About 50% of American teens engage in sexual intercourse
- 59. Physical Development • Young adulthood – Usually height of physical prowess • Middle adulthood – Gradual physical decline – Women – menopause • Late Adulthood – Bones become brittle – greater risk for falls – Slower response time
- 61. Cognitive Development • Creativity can be evidenced throughout lifetime • Memory functioning declines with age – Crystallized intelligence – Fluid intelligence • Tasks that require speed and visual spatial skills decline
- 62. • crystallized intelligence – one’s lifetime of intellectual achievement, as shown largely through vocabulary and knowledge of world affairs • fluid intelligence – mental flexibility as shown in learning rapidly to solve new kinds of problems
- 63. Alzheimer’s Disease • Progressive form of mental deterioration – Affects 1% of people at age 60; 50% past age 85 – It is a disease, not a normal progression
- 64. Social and Emotional Development • Great variety based on cultural expectations and individual behavior patterns • Trends – More optimistic than previous generation – Grow psychologically healthier as they advance to middle age
- 65. Young Adulthood • Pursuit of ‘Dream’ – Blueprint for life
- 66. Erikson’s Psychosocial Development • Young adulthood – Intimacy versus Isolation • Middle adulthood – Generativity versus Stagnation – Midlife transition – Midlife crisis • Late adulthood – Ego integrity versus Despair

- LO1 Explain prenatal development and the role that sex hormones play
- zygote – a fertilized ovum (egg cell) germinal stage – the first stage of prenatal development, during which the dividing mass of cells has not become implanted in the uterine wall amniotic sac – a sac within the uterus that contains the embryo or fetus
- Truth or Fiction? Your heart started beating when you were only one-fifth of an inch long and weighed a fraction of an ounce. TRUE During the fourth week, a primitive heart begins to beat and pump blood—in an organism that is one-fifth of an inch long.
- amniotic sac – a sac within the uterus that contains the embryo or fetus placenta – a membrane that permits the exchange of nutrients and waste products between the mother and her developing child but does not allow the maternal and fetal bloodstreams to mix umbilical cord – a tube between the mother and her developing child through which nutrients and waste product are conducted
- LO2 Explain the physical, cognitive, moral, social, and emotional development of children.

- Truth or Fiction? Prior to 6 months or so of age, “out of sight” is literally “out of mind.” TRUE For most infants younger than 6 months, objects are not yet represented mentally. sensorimotor stage – the first of Piaget’s stages of cognitive development, characterized by coordination of sensory information and motor activity, early exploration of the environment, and lack of language object permanence – recognition that objects removed from sight still exist, as demonstrated in young children by continued pursuit
- preoperational stage – the second of Piaget’s stages, characterized by illogical use of words and symbols, spotty logic, and egocentrism egocentrism – according to Piaget, the assumption that others view the world as one does oneself conservation – according to Piaget, recognition that basic properties of substances such as weight and mass remain the same when superficial features change objective responsibility – according to Piaget, the assignment of blame according to the amount of damage done rather than the motives of the actor Animism – The belief that inanimate objects move because of will or spirit Artificialism – The belief that natural objects have been created by human beings
- concrete operational stage – Piaget’s third stage, characterized by logical thought concerning tangible objects, conservation, and subjective morality decentration – simultaneous focusing on more than one dimension of a problem, so that flexible, reversible thought becomes possible subjective moral judgment – according to Piaget, moral judgment that is based on the motives of the perpetrator Reversibility – Recognition that processes can be undone
- zone of proximal development – Vygotsky’s term for the situation in which a child carries out tasks with the help of someone who is more skilled, frequently an adult who represents the culture in which the child develops. scaffolding – Vygotsky’s term for temporary cognitive structures or methods of solving problems that help the child as he or she learns to function independently
- preconventional level – according to Kohlberg, a period during which moral judgments are based largely on expectation of rewards or punishment
- conventional level – according to Kohlberg, a period during which moral judgments largely reflect social conventions; a “law and order” approach to morality
- These are the first three stages of Erikson’s theory representing the years of infancy through childhood trust versus mistrust – Erikson’s first stage of psychosocial development, during which children do—or do not—come to trust that primary caregivers and the environment will meet their needs.
- attachment – the enduring affectional tie that binds one person to another
- contact comfort – a hypothesized primary drive to seek physical comfort through contact with another
- ethologist – a scientist who studies the characteristic behavior patterns of species of animals critical period – a period of time when an instinctive response can be elicited by a particular stimulus imprinting – a process occurring during a critical period in the development of an organism, in which that organism responds to a stimulus in a manner that will afterward be difficult to modify
- Instrumental competence is the ability to manipulate the environment to achieve one’s goals. Four aspects of parental behavior - 1) Strictness; 2) Demands for child to achieve intellectual, emotional and social maturity; 3) Communication ability; 4) Warmth and involvement
- authoritative parents – parents who are strict and warm; authoritative parents demand mature behavior but use reason rather than force in discipline authoritarian parents – parents who are rigid in their rules and who demand obedience for the sake of obedience permissive parents – parents who impose few, if any, rules and who do not supervise their children closely uninvolved parents – parents who generally leave their children to themselves Outcomes from parenting: Authoritative – children have greatest self-reliance, self-esteem, social competence, and achievement motivation Authoritarian – children are withdrawn or aggressive and usually do not do as well in school as children of authoritative parents Permissive – children seem to be less mature and are often impulsive, moody, and aggressive Uninvolved – children tend to be more likely to hang out with crowds who “party” a good deal and use drugs
- Outcomes from parenting: Authoritative – children have greatest self-reliance, self-esteem, social competence, and achievement motivation Authoritarian – children are withdrawn or aggressive and usually do not do as well in school as children of authoritative parents
- Outcomes from parenting: Permissive – children seem to be less mature and are often impulsive, moody, and aggressive Uninvolved – children tend to be more likely to hang out with crowds who “party” a good deal and use drugs
- LO3 Explain the physical, cognitive, moral, social and emotional development of adolescents.
- adolescence – the period of life bounded by puberty and the assumption of adult responsibilities puberty – the period of physical development during which sexual reproduction first becomes possible secondary sex characteristics – characteristics that distinguish the sexes, such as distribution of body hair and depth of voice, but that are not directly involved in reproduction menarche – the beginning of menstruation
- formal operational stage – Piaget’s fourth stage, characterized by abstract logical thought and deduction from principles imaginary audience – an aspect of adolescent egocentrism; the belief that other people are as concerned with our thoughts and behaviors as we are personal fable – another aspect of adolescent egocentrism; the belief that our feelings and ideas are special and unique and that we are invulnerable
- postconventional level – according to Kohlberg, a period during which moral judgments are derived from moral principles and people look to themselves to set moral standards
- ego identity – Erikson’s term for a firm sense of who one is and what one stands for role diffusion – Erikson’s term for lack of clarity in one’s life roles (due to failure to develop ego identity)
- LO4 Explain the physical, cognitive, moral, social, and emotional development of adults.
- menopause – the cessation of menstruation

- Truth or Fiction? Alzheimer’s disease is a normal part of aging. FALSE. Alzheimer’s disease is not a normal part of aging. Although connected with aging, it is a disease rather than a normal progression. Alzheimer’s disease – a progressive form of mental deterioration characterized by loss of memory, language, problem solving, and other cognitive functions
- dream – in this usage, Levinson’s term for the overriding drive of youth to become someone important, to leave one’s mark on history
- intimacy versus isolation – Erikson’s life crisis of young adulthood, which is characterized by the task of developing abiding intimate relationships generativity versus stagnation – Erikson’s term for the crisis of middle adulthood, characterized by the task of being productive and contributing to younger generations midlife crisis – a crisis experienced by many people during the midlife transition when they realize that life may be more than halfway over and they reassess their achievements in terms of their dreams ego integrity versus despair – Erikson’s term for the crisis of late adulthood, characterized by the task of maintaining one’s sense of identity despite physical deterioration
