Question

As you think back over developmental psycholgy, what was the most valuable aspect of
the class? What was the least valuable? (250 words).

Answer 1

Most valuable aspect of developmental psychology is Piaget’s theory of cognitive development

The SENSORIMOTOR STAGE (BIRTH TO 2 YEARS OLD)

The infant constructs a comprehension of himself or herself and reality (and how things work) through associations with nature. It can separate amongst itself and different objects. Learning happens by means of assimilation (the association of data and retaining it into existing schema) and settlement (when an object can't be absorbed and the schemata must be adjusted to incorporate the object.

PREOPERATIONAL STAGE (AGES 2 TO 4)

The youngster isn't yet ready to conceptualize dynamically and needs concrete physical circumstances. Objects are ordered in basic courses, particularly by imperative highlights.

CONCRETE OPERATIONS (AGES 7 TO 11)

As physical experience collects, accomodation is expanded. The youngster starts to think uniquely and conceptualize, making logical structures that clarify his or her physical experiences.

FORMAL OPERATIONS (BEGINNING AT AGES 11 TO 15)

Cognition achieves its last shape. By this stage, the individual never again requires concrete objects to make levelheaded judgements. He or she is fit for deductive and theoretical thinking. His or her capacity for dynamic reasoning is fundamentally the same as a grown-up.

Least valuable part was that A great part of the research in developmental psychology utilizes children as members, who may have issues understanding the undertaking, may get exhausted, and might be more inclined to request attributes. This implies the outcomes we get from such research may not be a genuine impression of what children are able to do. There are likewise more ethical issues when utilizing children as members. This can be found in Freud's research on Little Hans, where his father's driving inquiries may have impacted his answers.
