Document Summary
Physical- how do we grow physically as human beings: height, weight, etc, how our brain changes and grows over time, motor development. Perceptual- the 5 senses: vision and hearing are the core ones, and then taste, smell, and touch, 2. Our thought processes (internal) how we think about the world. How we solve problems how we navigate our world when we experience obstacles: 3. As motor skills emerge and kids become more independent, we become more than just a nurturer, but also a discipliner. 2 different ways to look at development: general development what do children do on average, what is normal across children, does not give predictive power, ex. Individual differences: focuses on the unique characteristics that make up a person"s life, how one person is different, looks at genetic personality, socioeconomic status, parenting styles, etc. and their impact. Holistic theories of development: behaviorism, watson, pavlov, skinner, focuses on the environment.
