Document Summary
Baby biographies: detailed, systematic observations of individual children. Applied developmental science: uses developmental research to promote healthy development, particularly for vulnerable children and families. Maturational theory: child development reflects a specific and prearranged scheme or plan within the body. Ethological theory: views development from an evolutionary perspective. Psychodynamic theory: holds that development is largely determined by how well people resolve certain conflicts at certain ages. Psychosocial theory: (erikson) development comprises a sequence of stages, each defined by a unique crisis or challenge. Social cognitive theory: (bandura) view that people learn by watching others. Continuity: early and later development is related but not perfectly. Active children: kids influence their own development. Connections: development in different domains is connected. Systematic observation: involves watching and recording what kids do/say. Naturalistic observation: observing kids as they behave in real-life situations. Structured observation: researcher creates setting to elicit desired behaviour. Response bias: more likely to choose the socially accepted answer.
