CHILD PSYCHOLOGY by Gianina Azcurra https://padlet.com/gianinazcurra1/g93no05yl212 An approach to different learning theories en-us 2017-08-21 17:21:08 UTC 2025-10-17 04:01:30 UTC hello@padlet.com THE MADURATIONAL THEORY gianinazcurra1 https://padlet.com/gianinazcurra1/g93no05yl212/wish/181924216 It accounts for the intelectual and physical development:
  1. -The individual goes through a process of biological and psychological development determined by TIME, and as a result certain behaviours are expected to arise.
-The individual is genetically affected by HEREDITY either when he is born or at some later stage.

  • -Concepts such as READINESS and IQ test (Intelligence quotient) have shed light on the facts that:
    1. -A child will be ready for certain behaviours or skills only after his neurological system is mature enough.
-Intelligence can be considered a genetic characteristic.

-Terms such as ASSIMILATION and ACCOMODATION describe two sides of the same process: LEARNING]]> 2017-08-21 18:06:29 UTC https://padlet.com/gianinazcurra1/g93no05yl212/wish/181931005 How does learning occur according to this theory? gianinazcurra1 https://padlet.com/gianinazcurra1/g93no05yl212/wish/181932250 Jean Piaget proposes that learning takes place on the one hand, through a process of assimilation when the child assimilates new information to fit into his own interpretation of the world. At a later stage, that same child might receive another information regarding his previous knowledge on a particular topic, and a process of accomodation will occur readapting that way of thinking into a new idea.]]> 2017-08-21 18:13:23 UTC https://padlet.com/gianinazcurra1/g93no05yl212/wish/181932250 Stages of development gianinazcurra1 https://padlet.com/gianinazcurra1/g93no05yl212/wish/181933722 -Piaget suggests that there are four universal stages of development that all children go through.
-Each child follows these stages in exactly the same order and development unfolds as a result of the biological process of growth and the development of the child's brain.]]> 2017-08-21 18:21:36 UTC https://padlet.com/gianinazcurra1/g93no05yl212/wish/181933722 THE PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY by Sigmund Freud gianinazcurra1 https://padlet.com/gianinazcurra1/g93no05yl212/wish/181937786 According to this theory, personality develops during childhood, but is deeply affected by five psychosexual stages, each characterized by a certain internal conflict:

These aspects represent different conflicts every human being might go through, and our actions are motivated by physical or biological needs.]]> 2017-08-21 19:03:34 UTC https://padlet.com/gianinazcurra1/g93no05yl212/wish/181941988 THE LEARNING THEORY gianinazcurra1 https://padlet.com/gianinazcurra1/g93no05yl212/wish/181943788 In which ways are new behaviours acquired?
-All learning, whether verbal or non-verbal takes place through the same process: habit formation
-Two explanations can be proposed, classical conditioning and operant conditioning.]]> 2017-08-21 19:13:11 UTC https://padlet.com/gianinazcurra1/g93no05yl212/wish/181943788 Classical Conditioning gianinazcurra1 https://padlet.com/gianinazcurra1/g93no05yl212/wish/181947293 -It refers to the repetition of a certain biological stimulus that will create a specific response . 
-Its main advocate is the Russian Ivan Pavlov, who conducted the following experiment:]]> 2017-08-21 19:29:13 UTC https://padlet.com/gianinazcurra1/g93no05yl212/wish/181947293 Behavioural or Operant Conditioning gianinazcurra1 https://padlet.com/gianinazcurra1/g93no05yl212/wish/181949013 -It refers to the reinforcement or punishment of a certain behaviour.
-Associations and habit formation are the results of the consequences that come after a particular behaviour takes place , and according to the behaviourist B.F.Skinner this is the best way to account for learning.]]> 2017-08-21 19:38:42 UTC https://padlet.com/gianinazcurra1/g93no05yl212/wish/181949013
