oral | birth- 1/5 yrs= babies put everything in their mouth |
anal | 1/5-3 yrs= potty training |
phallic | 3-6 ys=kids start discovering their body |
latency | 6yrs-puberty=intellectual growth, socialization |
genital | puberty-old= sexual real awakening |
Erickson IDeas | challenging developmental crisis |
Ericksons stages of Development | trust vs mistrus; autonomy vs shame and doubt; initiative vs guilt; industry vs inferiority; identity vs role confusion; intimacy vs isolation; generativity vs stagnation; integrity vs despair |
trust vs mistrust | birth-1 yr: depend on parents |
autonomy vs shame and doubt | 1-3 yrs:start socializing; they do things on their own talkng exploring feeding etc |

behaviorism | grand theory of human development that studies observable behavior |
conditioning | process by which responses become linked to particular stimuli and learning takes placd |
classical conditioning | a process in which a person or animl learns to associate a neutral stimulus witha meaningful stimulus, gradually reacting to the neutral stimulus with the same response; example of the dog with the food; dog salivates with food then add the bell |
Operant Conditioning | which animals do something and experience a consequence. if the experience pleasurable they repeat it if not they stop doing such behavior |
reinforcement | consequencest that increase the likelihood that a particular action will be repeated. |
positive reinforcement | adding a stimulus presented immediatly after behaviour; probability of behaviour occuring INCREASES |
Negative reinforcement | a stimulis is removed immediatly following behaviour and behavior INCREASES |
PUnishment | used to DECREASE the future probability of behavior |
Positive Punishment | something is added after behavior to DECREASE behavior |
Negative Reinforcement | Something is removed immediatly after behaviour and behaviour is DECREASED |
social learning | humans sometimes learn not by reinforcement but by modeling; when people copy what they see others do. |
self efficcacy | the belief of some people that they are able to change themselves and effectively alter the social context. |
cognitive theory | a grand theory of human development; according to this theory our thoughtsshape our attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors |

conrete operational | 6-11yrs; logical operations. thinking is limited; understand concepts of conservation, |
formal operational | 12yrs-they can be logical about things they have never expereienced. ethics politics and social and mora issues become fascinationg. |
