Document Summary

Erikson"s psychosocial stages: basic trust v. mistrust, birth 1 year, autonomy v. shame and doubt, 1 3 years. Intimacy v. isolation: emerging adulthood, generativity v. stagnation, adulthood. Behaviorism & social learning: classical conditioning, stimulus response, operant conditioning, reinforces and punishments, social cognitive approach, modeling self-efficacy. Limitations of behaviorism and social learning theory: too narrow a view of important environmental influences, underestimates children"s contributions, bandura"s work is unique in that it grants children an active role in their own learning, bobo the doll. Infants think by acting on the world: as a result, they invent ways of solving sensorimotor problems, preschoolers use symbols, develop language and make- believe play, thinking still lacks the logic of later stages. 11 years on: reasoning becomes logical and better organized, thinking is not yet abstract, abstract thinking enables use of hypotheses, inferences, adolescents no longer rely on real-world circumstances for logic problems.
