Unit 4 Project
Developmental Stages Chart Using the charts on milestones of development found
in our text along with other unit material, create a chart of your own. This chart needs to combine some landmarks in each of the following stages from birth to three years of age:
physical and motor development psychosocial development cognitive development
![Page 3: Infant Psychosocial and Cognitive Development](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56812cb1550346895d91650f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Unit 4 Project cont…. When creating your chart, choose a reasonable
sampling from each area; these could be milestones of development that strike you as most meaningful.
Expected developmental milestones are based on the idea that children tend to follow similar developmental patterns.
When doing this activity, keep in mind that current thinking about expected patterns of growth and development tells us that multiple biological and environmental influences affect both the sequence and timing of motor skills.
In addition, include a one-paragraph analysis addressing the fact that individuals develop at varying rates.

Psychosocial (Social and Emotional) Development Milestones
Birth to Age 1 Shows trust and attachment to
primary caregiver Recognizes familiar voices Shows feelings Responds positively to family members or
caregivers May suffer from separation anxiety or stranger
anxiety Enjoys social games (such as peek-a-boo)

Question:
What are some ways to promote social and emotional development in infants?
![Page 9: Infant Psychosocial and Cognitive Development](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56812cb1550346895d91650f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Promoting Psychosocial (Social and Emotional) Development in Infants
Be nurturing and responsive to their needs to ensure healthy attachments develop
Be empathetic and accepting of the infant’s needs
Provide predictable care for the infant Provide opportunities for exercise and play
in social environments Talk, sing, read to and play with infants

Psychosocial Theories
Erickson’s Theory of Psychosocial Development
Attachment TheorySocial Learning Theory
![Page 11: Infant Psychosocial and Cognitive Development](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56812cb1550346895d91650f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Erikson’s Theory of Psychosocial Development
According to Erikson, the shaping of the self is marked by: The search for identity The individual’s relationships The role of culture The passage through developmental
stages (which begin at birth)
![Page 12: Infant Psychosocial and Cognitive Development](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56812cb1550346895d91650f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Erikson’s Theory: Infancy Stage
Trust vs. Mistrust (Birth to age 1) Infants develop trust when:
They encounter nurturing, warm, and predictable interactions with their caregivers Their needs (physical and emotional) are met
Infants develop mistrust when caregivers neglect, reject, or fail to respond to infants
![Page 13: Infant Psychosocial and Cognitive Development](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56812cb1550346895d91650f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Question:
Based on Erikson’s theory, how can we help infants develop trust?
![Page 14: Infant Psychosocial and Cognitive Development](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56812cb1550346895d91650f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Attachment Theory
Infants form loving, emotional attachments with parents
John Bowlby is a psychiatrist who studied attachment. He focused his studies on children who were raised in institutions.
![Page 15: Infant Psychosocial and Cognitive Development](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56812cb1550346895d91650f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Attachment Theory:Findings of John Bowlby:
Infants who had formed strong relationships with their mothers and were separated from their mothers for extended periods of time developed resistance to close relationships
Children raised in institutions were unable to form lasting relationships with others In these institutions, all of their physical needs
were met, however they were not necessarily cared for in a nurturing and affectionate manner.

Question:
What does attachment theory tell us about the emotional needs of infants?
![Page 17: Infant Psychosocial and Cognitive Development](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56812cb1550346895d91650f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Social Learning Theory:
Role models shape the development of human beings
Socialization is a process that influences the behaviors, values, interactions, etc.
An infant’s development depends on their social interactions and environment
![Page 18: Infant Psychosocial and Cognitive Development](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56812cb1550346895d91650f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Question:
What are the implications of social learning theory on our interactions with infants?

Cognitive and Language Development Milestones
Birth to Age 1 Communicates through crying, cooing,
whimpering, and facial expressions Smiles and laughs Uses gestures to communicate (waving,
clapping, baby signs) Produces vowel sounds with some
consonants Produces words (closer to 1 year old) Looks at books and interacts with toys
![Page 22: Infant Psychosocial and Cognitive Development](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56812cb1550346895d91650f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Question:
What are some ways to promote language and cognitive development in infants?
![Page 23: Infant Psychosocial and Cognitive Development](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56812cb1550346895d91650f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Promoting Cognitive and Language Development in Infants
Birth to Age 1 Talk, sing, read to, tell stories, and play
with infants Provide lots of interaction Provide age-appropriate toys Use child-directed speech Create a safe environment in which
infant can explore Provide stimulating experiences (but
avoid over-stimulation)

Cognitive Development: Piaget’s Theory
Cognitive development results because we are constantly trying to make sense of the world.
Four factors influence our cognitive development—biological maturation, activity, social experience, and equilibration (our effort to organize information and fit it into our knowledge schemes)
Cognitive development takes place in stages
![Page 26: Infant Psychosocial and Cognitive Development](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56812cb1550346895d91650f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Piaget’s Theory:The Infant’s Stage of Development Sensorimotor Stage (0-2 years)
0-1 month: reflexes develop with sensory experiences and human interactions
1-4 months: motor activity becomes purposeful and intentional
4-8 months: infants develop simple cause and effect understanding (Ex: if they hit water in the tub, it will splash)
8-12 months: infants develop object permanence (they know that an object exists even if they cannot see or touch it)
12-24 months: infants develop symbolic representations (thinking before acting, imagination)
![Page 27: Infant Psychosocial and Cognitive Development](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56812cb1550346895d91650f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Question:
How can we promote cognitive development in the sensorimotor stage?
![Page 28: Infant Psychosocial and Cognitive Development](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56812cb1550346895d91650f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Cognitive Development: Information Processing Theory
Cognitive development is based on inputs, throughputs, and outputs Inputs: Infant gathers information
though their senses Throughputs: Infants process the new
information by comparing it to other information already stored
Outputs: Infants respond to new information through motor and verbal responses
![Page 29: Infant Psychosocial and Cognitive Development](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56812cb1550346895d91650f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Question:
Based on this theory, what types of activities or interactions would support the cognitive development of infants?
![Page 30: Infant Psychosocial and Cognitive Development](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56812cb1550346895d91650f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Cognitive Development: Social Interactionist Theory
Infants learn new information through: Observations of others Imitating others Social situations
![Page 31: Infant Psychosocial and Cognitive Development](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56812cb1550346895d91650f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Question:
In your opinion, does nature (biological and genetic influences) or nurture (social and environmental influences) have a greater effect on cognitive development? Why?
![Page 32: Infant Psychosocial and Cognitive Development](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56812cb1550346895d91650f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Cognitive Development: Contextualistic Theory
Development in all domains (not only cognitive) is a result of reciprocal influences: The child influences the environment as
he/she develops and the environment influences the child as he/she develops
Child development is an interactive process between the child and his/her social and cultural influences
![Page 33: Infant Psychosocial and Cognitive Development](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56812cb1550346895d91650f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
