Age doesn"t explain why we see changes (why are things changing over time), friendships change over time-the reason why we choose our friends. Theories-set of statements that describe, explain and predict behaviour. The psychodynamic perspective-development occurs through resolution of conflicts in a series of stages-how to resolve conflict. Bandura (observation of what someone is doing to the doll) children copying adults. The cognitive-developmental perspective-jean piaget-children actively construct knowledge through manipulation and exploration-we learn more by doing then rather watching someone do-actively doing something and passively watching someone do something. The contextual perspective-urie bronfenbrenner"s ecological theory (gobstopper theory), different microsystems in how a child acts (child is the centre of the candy)-the indirectly affect the child (mat leave of the mother) Macrosystem exosystem mesosystem microsystem the individual. Each layer affects each other; it is a two-way streak-transactional. Four issues that differentiate theories of child development.
