Psychologists study human behaviors through exploring an individual’s experiences, personality traits, and through the categorization of each into a specific or set of disorders (Hothersall, 2003). Early psychologists studying human behavior addressed its vast nature of human behavior yet failed to consider the circumstance(s) that contributed to the behavior even though they acknowledged nature versus nurture. An example of this is Jean Piaget’s cognitive theory, which examined the behavior of children but failed to fully acknowledge the impact of the adult on this behavior. Instead he theorized that children learn on their own without the intervention of older children or adults and that children are intrinsically, or internally, motivated…

All practitioners need to promote children’s learning within the guidance given by the EYFS framework by offering a balance of child led and adult led based activities. Each practitioner must observe the children and plan activities which meet the individual needs and interests. They must also follow the interests of the child; asking them what they would like to do and how they may do it etc. We must also ensure that we are providing opportunities for children to lead the activity themselves, and supporting them to do this.…

The job of a developmental scientist is an important one; they investigate and study changes or lack of change in the characteristics of children. The distinctive changes of the body, mind and personality are sorted into the physical, cognitive and psychosocial domains of development. What causes these changes to occur, do they occur in stages or are they reactions to the environment and how much influence does the person have on their own development? These are the questions that developmental scientist seek to answers. By observing how children learn, think, and socialize as guided by the learning, cognitive and contextual perspective,…

The one psychological construct that is discussed throughout two of the articles is the idea of generativity along with basic trust versus mistrust. Trust is one of the first social concepts that babies learn through feeding, sleeping and using the bathroom. The biggest thing here would be for the child to allow his or her mother to be out of their sight for a certain period of time because they are certain their parent will return back to them. Therese Benedek prefers trust to be called confidence since that a child can trust someone a lot that then turns into confidence that the child has. However the main focus in both the Eight Stages of Man reading and the Parenthood and Generativity reading is the idea of generativity.…
