A. Sigmund Freud: Psycho-Analytical Approach B. Jean Piaget: Cognitive Development

 Human development occurs in three stages:  THE ID-THE EGO-THE SUPEREGO

Includes all of the individuals basic biological needs that demand immediate gratification. (I really want that car)

The rational, reality-oriented component of the personality. Imposes restrictions on the pleasure seeking drives of the id. (It would take a lot of money to buy the car…how could I get it?)

(The Conscience) The moral and ethical aspects of the personality. (I guess I will have to wait to buy the car)

ID A newborn child’s personality is all id. (Self-gratification) EGO Channels the desires of the id to more advantageous direction of the individual SUPEREGO - First seen as recognition of parental control. - Later as a reflection of values and moral of the larger society.

 Believed that children learn in 4 distinct levels of congnitive development. Children MUST go through each stage before moving on to the next.

 How people obtain, process, and use information…  BASICALLY: HOW DO WE THINK

 Cannot use language, so children depend solely on sensory contact and immediate action.  EGOCENTRIC- Believe they are at the center of everything.  “Object Permanence”- Cover an object, child thinks it is gone…peek-a-boo.

 Begin to use words as mental symbols to form mental images.(ie. Know what a dog is without seeing it)  Limited ability to use logic.  Don’t understand objects changing shapes, yet keeping properties.

 Can draw their own conclusions about likely physical consequences.

 Involved in highly abstract thought.  Can think about the future and evaluate different options or courses of action.  More “sophisticated” thought.
