Suppressing Development
Monkeys raised in isolation fail to develop normal monkey skills.
They show acute maladjustment when placed with normal monkeys.
Cases of child neglect have supplied comparable data.
Despite a normal biological heritage, infants who were unattended and unstimulated in orphanages failed to develop normally.

Accelerating Development
Two reasons to doubt claims about accelerating the development of infants and young children:– In most societies, nearly all infants receive
adequate stimulation to achieve normal development.
– Children cannot develop faster than their physiological development will permit.

Stimulus Response (S-R) Theory
Proposes a simple model of learning in which humans play only a passive role.
Maintains that behavior is a response to external stimuli.
Humans whatever behavior has been reinforced by their environment in the past.

Stimulus Response (S-R) Theory
Example: Language Dismisses the idea that people acquire
grammatical rules while learning to talk. Instead, it postulates that we acquire
language word by word and sentence by sentence as we repeat what we hear.

Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Stages
Piaget was convinced that the human mind develops on the basis of cognitive structures.
He administered IQ tests to youngsters and found consistent patterns of wrong answers to open-ended questions.

Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Stages
Piaget concluded that the children were applying the same, but incorrect, rule to a problem.
Piaget set out to discover basic rules of reasoning and the ages at which normal children acquire them.

Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Stages
Cognitive development passes through four fundamental stages:
1. sensorimotor
2. preoperational
3. concrete operational
4. formal operational
![Page 10: Chapter 6 Socialization and Social Roles. Chapter Outline Human Development Cognitive Development Emotional Development Culture and Personality](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649dff5503460f94ae7079/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Sensorimotor stage
Begins at birth and lasts until around two years.
Infants discover and develop their senses and their motor skills.
A major discovery during this stage is that objects continue to exist even when they are out of sight.
![Page 11: Chapter 6 Socialization and Social Roles. Chapter Outline Human Development Cognitive Development Emotional Development Culture and Personality](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649dff5503460f94ae7079/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Preoperational Stage
Begins at about age 2 and ends at about 7. Earliest years of this period are devoted to
language learning. The other major task during this stage is to
learn to take the role of the other. Until they pass through this stage, children
cannot solve problems that require them to put themselves in someone else’s place.

Concrete Operational Stage
Begins at about 7 and ends at about 12 (although many people never progress beyond this stage).
Children develop a logical principles that permit them to deal with the concrete world.
One principle is the rule of conservation, which states that a given amount of material does not increase or decrease when its shape is changed.
![Page 13: Chapter 6 Socialization and Social Roles. Chapter Outline Human Development Cognitive Development Emotional Development Culture and Personality](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649dff5503460f94ae7079/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Formal Operational Stage
Generally begins at about age 12. At this stage, people can formulate and
manipulate theories and deduce from these theories that certain things are likely to be true or false.
With this comes the ability to ask “What if ?” Researchers have concluded that perhaps
half of all adults do not reach this stage of cognitive development and are limited to literal interpretations of the world.

Chomsky: Three Key Aspects of Language
Language does not consist of a set of learned words and sentences stored in a mental “hard drive”.
Children develop complex programs or grammars rapidly and at a very young age.
Infants learn one language as easily as another.
![Page 15: Chapter 6 Socialization and Social Roles. Chapter Outline Human Development Cognitive Development Emotional Development Culture and Personality](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649dff5503460f94ae7079/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Chomsky: Universal Grammar
Chomsky dismissed the seemingly immense variety in human languages as “superficial”.
The same underlying principles are observed in each language.
Universal Grammar is an instinctive awareness of nouns and verbs and how they can be combined.
When infants begin to observe the world and hear language, they instinctively distinguish between things and actions relating to things.

Personality
Personality is a consistent pattern of thoughts, feelings, and actions.
No two people ever have identical biographies, and therefore, no two people ever have the same personality.

Melvin Kohn: OccupationalRoles and Socialization
People with self-directed personalities are more likely to obtain jobs with opportunity for individual initiative.
Less self-directed people gravitate toward structured, more supervised occupations.
People in highly structured jobs become less self-directed, people in less-structured jobs become more self-directed.

Sex-role Socialization
Most societies have sharp distinctions between male and female roles.
To the extent that a culture defines gender roles as distinctly different, parents will raise boys and girls so they will be different.
These boys and girls will grow up wanting to be different, believing these differences in sex roles are not only normal but necessary.
