G. Stanley Hall (1844-1924)
• founder and president of the American Psychological Association

individual recapitulates the development of the species through evolution. Our development mirrors
species development.
• rejected the common notion that masturbation caused insanity or death
• opposed to the co-education of males and females because the separation of the sexes sublimates
sexual feelings allowing them to be re-directed into social progress
• females are necessary for the evolution of the human species, so their adolescence should include
training for motherhood
• girls are more into imitative tasks and lack boys intense desire to know, be, do something
distinctive that develops and emphasizes his individuality
• the laboratory setting either confuses or strains a girl
Jean Piaget
Sensorimotor Stage (birth - 2 years) the child's grasp of the world occurs through and is limited by
the development of perceptual and motor systems, and their association. They have newborn reflexes
and that is about it.
Preoperational Stage (2/3 - 7 years) the child acquires and learns house langauge, and begins
understanding how the world works.
Concrete Operations Stage (7 - 12 years) the child learns to interact with tangible concepts and
objects.
Formal operations stage (13+) the child can work with abstract concepts and ideas
Conservation: a child who is pre-conservational will not understand that a liquid poured from a
short, white container into a tall, narrow container contains the same volume.
Object Permanence without object permanence, a young child will believe that something has gone
out of view has ceased to exist.
Formal Operations: mathematics, where symbols are used to represent concepts.
