Episode 1 Notes:
Psychology is the scientific study of mental processes and behavior. Wilhelm Wundt established the first psychology laboratory in 1879 in Germany, marking the beginning of psychology as a distinct field. Main subfields include developmental psychology, social psychology, and cognitive psychology.
Episode 2 Notes:
Developmental psychology focuses on physical, cognitive, and social changes across the lifespan from conception to death. Development is documented through longitudinal, cross-sectional, and sequential research methods. Both nature and nurture influence development.
Learning Objectives:
Developmental psych’s primary interest is documenting physical, cognitive & social changes across lifespan (p. 4 textbook)
Longitudinal follows same people over time; cross-sectional compares different age groups at one time; sequential observes order of acquisition (p. 6)
See cognitive development section below
Piaget’s stages are sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, formal operational (p. 34)
Contemporary views recognize individual differences, cultural influences on development (p. 38)
