DEFINITIONS
• Growth: An increase in physical size
• Development: The acquisition of skills
and function
• Maturation: Total process in which
skills and potential emerge regardless
of practice or training
Hypothesis vs. Theory
Theory – provide frameworks, verified by
research, and can predict the sequences
in the future and can be replicated many
times.
Hypothesis- proposed explanation, that
needs to be tested. It starts the scientific
inquiry process.

Basic Issues
in Development
Continuous or discontinuous?
Continuous –gradual augmenting the
same types of skills
Discontinuous – happens in stages
(like climbing a stair case, one step at
a time, sudden changes could occur
from one step to the next).
Contexts of Development
Unique combinations
of personal and
environmental
circumstances can
result in different
paths of change

Basic Issues
Nature vs. Nurture
Nature
Hereditary
information
Received from
parents at
conception
Nurture
Physical and
social forces
Influences
biological and
psychological
development
Stability and Plasticity
Stability
Plasticity
Persistence of
Development is
individual
open to lifelong
differences
change
Lifelong patterns Change occurs
established by
based on influential
early experiences
experiences
Resilience
Ability to adapt effectively
in the face of threats to
development
Factors in resilience:
personal characteristics
warm parental relationship
social support outside family
community resources and
opportunities

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
• Do you think development is simply nature
vs nurture?
• That there is plasticity in life?
• Can someone be more resilient than
others?
• Can you give one example?

Development as a
Dynamic System
Ongoing process from conception
to death
Molded by network of influences:
biological
psychological
social
Lifespan Perspective
Development is
lifelong
multidimensional and
multidirectional
highly plastic
influenced by multiple,
interacting forces

Periods of Development
Prenatal
Conception to birth
Infancy and toddlerhood
Birth–2 years
Early childhood
2–6 years
Middle childhood
6–11 years
Adolescence
11–18 years
Early adulthood
18–40 years
Middle adulthood
40–65 years
Late adulthood
65 years–death

CATEGORY OF DEVELOPMENT
• Take three index cards or pieces of paper
• I am going to name a category you will raise up a card
• Write
– P for Physical
– S/E for Social/Emotional
– C for cognitive
• FYI, language usually has its own category but it
falls under cognitive

Influences on Development
Multiple, interacting forces:
Age-graded
History-graded- baby boomers, Generation
X, Millennial Generations
Nonnormative- not a pattern

Scientific Beginnings
Darwin
Hall, Gesell
Binet
Theory of
evolution
Normative
approach- large
numbers of people
to create trends
Mental testing
movement- testing
for educational
placement
Early Scientific Theories
Theory of evolution
Natural selection
Survival of the fittest
Normative approach
Child study movement
Development as a maturational process
Mental testing movement
First successful intelligence test
In forefront of nature–nurture controversy
PERSONALITY
• Consists of the behavior patterns that
distinguish one person from another (look at
page 33 book that compares the two theories)
• Frameworks
– Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytical theory
– Erik Erikson’s psychosocial theory
SIGMUND FREUD
Father of psychoanalysis
1856-1939
Theory of the
unconscious. The mind
is like an iceberg.
What have you heard
about Sigmund Freud?
Freud’s Three Parts
of the Personality
Id
Ego
Largest portion of the mind
Source of biological needs/desires
Conscious, rational part of personality
Emerges in early infancy
Redirects id impulses in acceptable
ways
The conscience, the “do-gooder”
Superego Develops from ages 3 to 6 through
interactions with caregivers
PERSONIFICATION OF EGO,
ID AND SUPEREGO
• Stories often personify these
characters.
• Get in groups of three to personify
each type. What cartoon character
would you give?
• Who would mediate between the
external world and conscience?
FREUD’S DEFENSE
MECHANISMS
• Defense mechanisms are techniques used
at all stages of the life cycle to help
individuals cope with the threat of anxiety.
• They are used to protect the ego.
• On a short-term basis, they may be helpful.
• Overuse or maladaptive use prevents the
individual from achieving personal growth and
satisfaction.
Erikson’s
Psychosocial Stages
Basic trust vs. mistrust
Birth–1 year
Autonomy vs. shame/doubt
1–3 years
Initiative vs. guilt
3–6 years
Industry vs. inferiority
6–11 years
Identity vs. role confusion
Adolescence
Intimacy vs. isolation
Early adulthood
Generativity vs. stagnation
Middle adulthood
Integrity vs. despair
Late adulthood
ERIKSON THEORY
• Using eight index cards, write out each
stage “Basic trust vs. mistrust”
• As I call out the age range, you will raise up
the card/piece of paper.
Behaviorism and
Social Learning Theory
Classical
conditioning
Stimulus–response
Operant
conditioning
Reinforcers and
punishments (Skinner)
Social learning
theory
Social-cognitive
approach (Bandura)
JEAN
PIAGET
Cognitive development
theory
• Children "construct" their
understanding of the world through
their active involvement and
interactions.
• Studied his 3 children to focus not on
what they knew but how they knew it.
• Described children's understanding as
their "schemas” and how they use:
– assimilation
– accommodation.
Piaget’s CognitiveDevelopmental Theory
Children actively construct knowledge
by manipulating and exploring their
world.
Mental structures adapt to better fit
with environment.
Development moves through four
broad stages.
Piaget’s Stages

ADDRESSING NEEDS
• How can a health professional address
needs?
• Why is it important to understand where
someone is at in the levels?
• Is this information applicable in life? Yes or
No. Discuss

LEARNING OUTCOMES
COMMON RESEARCH METHODS
•Describe methods commonly used in research on
human development. (pp. 21–25)
•Distinguish between correlational and
experimental research designs, noting the
strengths and limitations of each. (pp. 25–28)
•Describe designs for studying development,
noting the strengths and limitations of each. (pp.
28–31)

human development? (pp. 31–32)
46
RESEARCH DESIGNS
(SEE PAGE 28)
General Design
• Correlation (don’t alter experience and look at
relationship between variables)
• Experimental (random assignment, look at cause
and effect)
Developmental Design
• Longitudinal
• Cross-sectional
• Sequential
47
Experimental Design
Independent
Variable
Dependent
Variable
Manipulated by
experimenter
Expected to cause
changes in another
variable
Measured, but not
manipulated, by
experimenter
Expected to be
influenced by
independent variable
Random Assignment
Unbiased procedure used to assign
participants to treatment conditions
Increases chances that characteristics will be
equally distributed across conditions
© iofoto/Shutterstock
EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN
• Independent variable impact on dependent
variable
– Example: Take xyz pill (independent) on a reducing a disease (dependent).
• Randomly Assigned (Experimental Design)
– Control Group (example: doesn’t get the pill, gets a sugar pill)
– Treatment Group (example: gets xyz pill)
• Quasi-experimental (not able to do a full control
group or random assignment)
• Statistical Significance (p value less or greater to
.05)
50
General Research Designs
Correlation Design and Coefficient
Correlation Coefficent (Strength of relationship)
Correlation do not show causation but measures
influence
(positive or negative number (0-1)
Closer to 1 the stronger the relationship
1.00 is strong, .52 is moderate, and .18 is low
Direction of relationship
Positive means move in the same direction
Negative means they move in the opposite
direction
QUICK ASSESSMENT
RAISE UP A -1 OR +1
• The more I eat, the more I weigh.
• The more time I spend at the mall, the less money I have.
• The more I brush my teeth, the fewer cavities I have.
• The less I study, the poorer my grades.
Let’s look at page 27 and read the studies.
