4. PSYCHOLOGICAL THEORIES OF
DEVELOPMENT
PSYCHOSEXUAL THEORY OF
DEVELOPMENT
Developed by Sigmund Freud who
associated development with the sexual
activities of the child
He said that each stages of development,
one’s needs must be satisfied moderately
otherwise it will cause FIXATION

5. Psychosexual Stages of Development
1.


Prenatal – (0-1 1/2 years)
Mouth is the center of
development since
infant’s pleasure seeking
is centered on the mouth
Under gratification and
over gratification happen
when there is excessive
anticipation in satisfying
needs

6. 2. ANAL STAGE (1-3 years)

22. Moral Development
 Proposed by Lawrence Kohlberg
 Levels of morality follow a developmental
sequence that is distinctively different
from each other. Each level contains two
stages.
1. Preconventional Morality
2. Conventional Morality
3. Postconventional Morality

23. 1. PRECONVENTIONAL MORALITY
Stage 1 Punishment-obedience orientation
Behaviors are perceived to be right when
children are able to avoid punishment
brought about by their own behavior
Stage 2 Instrumental relativism orientation
The child’s basis of moral reasoning is
based on benefit

24. 2.CONVENTIONAL MORALITY
Stage 3 Good boy/nice girl Orientation

the person
It is no longer the society’s standards and
expectations that are used in making moral
judgment but it is the CONSCIENCE that
becomes the reference of the action.

27. Stages of Cognitive
Development
By: Jean Piaget

28. 1. Intelligence and cognitive functioning develop in children.
2. Human Intelligence progresses through a series of
stages based on age.
3. In his schema, he believed that biologic changes and
maturation were responsible for cognitive development.
4. Individual reach cognitive maturity by middle to late
adolescence..

30. Stages of Cognitive Development
SENSORIMOTOR (0-2 years)
Birth to two years
Function based on two aspects: sense
and motor
Infants are preoccupied with discovering
the relationships between their actions
and the consequences of these actions

31. SENSORIMOTOR
Acquisition of
OBJECT
PERMANENCE
OBJECT
PERMANENCE
 It is the awareness
that object continues
to exist even if it is not
present to the senses
OBJECT PERMANENCE

32. Preoperational Stage
(2-7 years)
The children interact with their environment
through symbols and mental representation
Egocentrism is also evident the difficulty to
take the view of others
EXAMPLE – they may asked the parent to

Their thinking is considered to be logical but
limited to something that is concrete in nature.
They have the difficulty of understanding
abstract concepts like love and faith
The child is able to acquire the concept of
conservation that is, the amount of substance
remains the same even when its shaped is
changed or when parts are divided into parts.

35. Formal Operational
The child at this stage is able to
understand concepts that are abstract in
nature going beyond from what the child is
capable of during the concrete operational
stage
They are able to make use of their
previous experiences to integrate the
solving simple and complicated problems

36.  Direction: Use the clue below to complete the crossword puzzle.
 Across:

towards the mother.

37.  Nervous system-control our body function, emotions, memory, thinking and
behavior.
 2 kinds of N.S.
 1. Central Nervous System – nerves from the back transmit message
between the body and the brain.
 2.Peripheral Nervous System - smaller nerves branch out from spinal
nerves take information from the body organs to the CNS.
 II. NEURON – nerve of strings long and thin cells. It fires when stimulated.
 3 types of neuron:
 1. affarent neuron – sensory neurons (relay messages from the sense
organ).
 2. efferent neuron – motor neuron – send signal from the brain to the glands
and muscles.
 3. interneurons – transmit message between neuron to another neuron.

38. PARTS of the BRAIN
1. HINDBRAIN rear base of the skull.
Involved the main process of life.
 cerebellum – controls posture and
balance.
 medulla - controls breath and reflexes.
Pons – a bridge bet . Spinal and brain
produced chemicals needed for sleep.

39. 2. MIDBRAIN – small part of the brain
above the pons. Collects information from
the senses and sends it upward.
Medulla,Pons, Midbrain – Brain stem
Reticular activating system – it alert the
rest of the brain to messages coming in.
