What Theories Do• developmental theories
–a systematic statement of principles and generalizations that provides a coherent framework for understanding how and why people change as they grow older•lead to pivotal hypotheses•generate discover•offer practical guidance

What Theories Do• developmental theories
– grand theories•describe universal processes and development throughout the entire life span
•offers a framework for interpreting and understanding…change and development of all individuals
•some are emergent theories – new systematic and comprehensive theories of the future

Psychoanalytic Theory• a grand theory of human development that holds that irrational, unconscious drives and motives, often originating in childhood, underlies human behavior
![Page 5: Berger ls 7e ch 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549f042b4c90512488b5329/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Psychoanalytic Theory
• Freud 1856-1936– development in the first six years hasthree stages, each characterized by sexual pleasure…•infancy – the mouth – the oral stage•early childhood – the anus – the anal stage
•preschool years – the penis – the phallic stage
•beginning of adolescence through death – latency – genital stages

Psychoanalytic Theory• Erikson – 1902-1994
– a follower of Freud, interested in • culture diversity• social change• psychological crises
– described eight developmental stages
1. Trust vs. Mistrust 2. Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt3. Initiative vs. Guilt4. Industry vs. Inferiority5. Identity vs. Role Confusion6. Intimacy vs. Isolation7. Generativity vs. Stagnation8. Integrity vs. Despair

Behaviorism Theory
• Watson 1878 – 1958•all behavior is learned•specific laws of learning apply to conditioning
![Page 9: Berger ls 7e ch 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549f042b4c90512488b5329/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Behaviorism Theory • Law of Behavior - learning theories
– …all behavior is learned step by step• conditioning
– the processes by which responses become linked to particular stimuli
• classical conditioning - respondent conditioning– a person or animal is conditioned to associate a neutral stimulus with a meaningful stimulus
• operant conditioning - instrumental conditioning– learning process by which a particular action is followed by something desired – the person will repeat the action
• reinforcement– A technique for conditioning behavior where behavior is followed by something desired
![Page 10: Berger ls 7e ch 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549f042b4c90512488b5329/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
Behaviorism Theory • Social Learning Theory– an extension of behaviorism that emphasizes the influence that other people have over a person’s behavior
• modeling– The central process of
social learning by which a person observes the actions of others and then copies them
![Page 11: Berger ls 7e ch 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549f042b4c90512488b5329/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Cognitive Theory• The third grand theory–emphasized the structure and development of thought processes
![Page 12: Berger ls 7e ch 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549f042b4c90512488b5329/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Cognitive Theory•Jean Piaget’s 4 Stages –sensorimotor–preoperational–concrete operational–formal operational
![Page 13: Berger ls 7e ch 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549f042b4c90512488b5329/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Cognitive Theory
![Page 14: Berger ls 7e ch 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549f042b4c90512488b5329/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Cognitive Theory • Cognitive equilibrium—state of mental balance.
• If threatened, how do we achieve equilibrium again?
– Assimilation: incorporate new events into existing schemas
– Accommodation: change schema
![Page 15: Berger ls 7e ch 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549f042b4c90512488b5329/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Sociocultural Theoryan emergent theory that holds that development results from the dynamic interaction between each person and the surrounding social andcultural forces
Lev Vygotsky
![Page 16: Berger ls 7e ch 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549f042b4c90512488b5329/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Sociocultural Theory• cultural variation
– adult responses are shaped by culture– society provides not only customs but also the tools and theories
• guided participation– a technique in which skilled mentors help novices lean not only by providing instruction, but also by allowing direct, shared involvement in the activity
![Page 17: Berger ls 7e ch 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549f042b4c90512488b5329/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
Sociocultural Theory•Zone of proximal development–skills, knowledge, and concepts that the learner is close to acquiring but cannot master without help
![Page 18: Berger ls 7e ch 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549f042b4c90512488b5329/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

19
Epigenetic Theory• An emergent theory of development that considers both the genetic origins of behavior (within each person and within each species) and the direct, systematic influences that environmental forces have over time on genes
![Page 20: Berger ls 7e ch 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549f042b4c90512488b5329/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Genetic Adaptation• Selective adaptation–the process by which humans and other organisms gradually adjust to their environment
–genes for the traits that are most useful will become more frequent, thus making survival of species more likely.
![Page 21: Berger ls 7e ch 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549f042b4c90512488b5329/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
What Theories Contribute• Psychoanalytic theory has made us aware of the
importance of early childhood experiences.
• Behaviorism has shown effect of the immediate environment on learning.
• Cognitive theory shows how intellectual process and thinking affect actions.
• Sociocultural theory has reminded us of the importance of culture in learning.
• Epigenetic theory reminds us of the power of genes and their interaction with the environment.

The Nature-Nurture Controversy
• Nature–The genes that people inherit
• Nurture–To all the environmental influences
![Page 23: Berger ls 7e ch 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549f042b4c90512488b5329/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
The Nature-Nurture Controversy
• Nature and Nurture Always interact–Heredity vs. Environment
How much of any characteristic,behavior, or pattern of development
isthe result of genes and how much is
the result of experience?
![Page 24: Berger ls 7e ch 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5549f042b4c90512488b5329/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Theoretical Perspectives on…
•Hyperactivity –Nature
• They are usually boys who have male relatives with the same problem
• They are overactive in every context, home as well as school
• They are often calmed by stimulants, such as Ritalin, Adderall, and even coffee
–Nurture• The rapid increase in ADHA (from 1 to 5 percent of all U.S. children within the past 50 years) cannot be genetic, since selective adaptation takes centuries
• Many environmental factors correlate with ADHD, including crowded homes, television, lead, food additives, and rigid teaching
