Document Summary
No human infant can survive without intensive, long-term care by other people. Learn how to behave based on how others respond to our behaviour. We learn how to interpret ourselves according to how others treat us. We interpret other people by analogy to ourselves. All contextualized by social interaction and human society. Freud"s and erikson"s theories are driven by biological maturation. Stress continuity of individual differences, emphasizing that children"s early experiences have major impact on subsequent development. Interaction of nature and nurture arises in the biological underpinnings of developmental stages and how they interact with child"s experiences. Freud"s theories now form the basis for research in modern attachment theory and his thoughts on our mental life are fundamental to modern cognitive psychology and brain science. It has been found that children as young as 3 have implicit racial biases, even though they might not know it shows that non-racist people can unconsciously exhibit racial biases.
