Prenatal Development Occurs
in Three Stages • Zygote stage (lasts two weeks):
• Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)
• Fetal stage (lasts from week 9 until birth)
![Page 3: Chapter 3 Human Development. Prenatal Development Occurs in Three Stages Zygote stage (lasts two weeks): Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4b5503460f94b3ff90/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Prenatal Development Occurs
in Three Stages • Zygote stage (lasts two weeks):
– The sperm fertilizes the egg and forms a new cell—the zygote.
– The zygote travels down the fallopian tubes to embed itself in the wall of the uterus.
![Page 4: Chapter 3 Human Development. Prenatal Development Occurs in Three Stages Zygote stage (lasts two weeks): Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4b5503460f94b3ff90/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Prenatal Development Occurs
in Three Stages • Embryonic stage (lasts from week
3 to week 8):
• When the zygote embeds itself in the uterine wall, this living tissue is called an embryo.
![Page 5: Chapter 3 Human Development. Prenatal Development Occurs in Three Stages Zygote stage (lasts two weeks): Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4b5503460f94b3ff90/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Prenatal Development Occurs
in Three Stages
Fetal stage (lasts from week 9 until birth):
• The last and longest stage in prenatal development in which tremendous growth occurs.
![Page 6: Chapter 3 Human Development. Prenatal Development Occurs in Three Stages Zygote stage (lasts two weeks): Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4b5503460f94b3ff90/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The Fetus Can Be Harmed by Parental and Environmental
Factors
– Parental age and maternal nutrition• The ages of both the mother and the
father can affect prenatal development.
– Harmful environmental agents• Teratogens: In Greek this word means
“monster maker”—any disease, drug, or other noxious agent.
![Page 7: Chapter 3 Human Development. Prenatal Development Occurs in Three Stages Zygote stage (lasts two weeks): Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4b5503460f94b3ff90/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
A Child’s Brain Grows at an Immense Rate
The brain of an 8-month-old human fetus:• Has more than twice as many neurons as an
adult brain (Kolb, 1989).• Produces new neurons at a rate of hundreds of
thousands per minute.
• Early neural development results in the brain’s weight ballooning.
• Most added mass is due to the growth of new dendrites and the myelin sheath around axons.

Neural Network Growth During Infancy
![Page 9: Chapter 3 Human Development. Prenatal Development Occurs in Three Stages Zygote stage (lasts two weeks): Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4b5503460f94b3ff90/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Physical Growth and Motor Development Occur Together
• During year 1 the body almost triples in weight and increases in length by about one-third.
• In North America, infants:• Lift their heads at 2 months,• Sit up without support at 6 months, and• Walk by the end of the first year.
![Page 10: Chapter 3 Human Development. Prenatal Development Occurs in Three Stages Zygote stage (lasts two weeks): Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4b5503460f94b3ff90/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Physical Growth and Motor Development Occur TogetherNewborns have a number of reflexes.
– A reflex is an automatic, involuntary response to sensory stimuli.
![Page 11: Chapter 3 Human Development. Prenatal Development Occurs in Three Stages Zygote stage (lasts two weeks): Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4b5503460f94b3ff90/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Attachment
• Attachment: the strong emotional bond a young child forms with its primary caregiver – An important ingredient in developing
attachment is receiving contact comfort.
![Page 12: Chapter 3 Human Development. Prenatal Development Occurs in Three Stages Zygote stage (lasts two weeks): Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4b5503460f94b3ff90/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Attachment
• Attachment bonds develop in stages:- 3–6 months: Clear preference for primary
caregivers but do not become upset when separated from them
- 7–9 months: An attachment bond forms toward a specific caregiver, and children become extremely upset following separation (separation anxiety). Children develop a fear of strangers (stranger anxiety).
![Page 13: Chapter 3 Human Development. Prenatal Development Occurs in Three Stages Zygote stage (lasts two weeks): Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4b5503460f94b3ff90/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Attachment– Individual differences in attachment style
develop as infants interact with their parents
• Secure attachment: belief that one is worthy of others’ love and that people are trustworthy
• Insecure attachment: belief that one is unworthy of others’ love and that people are untrustworthy
• Securely attached children find it easier to form satisfying relationships with others than those with insecure attachment.
![Page 14: Chapter 3 Human Development. Prenatal Development Occurs in Three Stages Zygote stage (lasts two weeks): Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4b5503460f94b3ff90/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Influences on Attachment Style – Parenting style
• Parents who are responsive to their children’s emotional needs and provide sufficient contact comfort tend to foster secure attachment.
– Temperament • Infants with an easygoing temperament often
foster positive parental reactions and these children tend to develop a secure attachment, while children with a difficult temperament may foster negative parental reactions and develop an insecure attachment.
– Culture• Collectivist cultures are more likely to foster
secure attachment than individualist cultures.
![Page 15: Chapter 3 Human Development. Prenatal Development Occurs in Three Stages Zygote stage (lasts two weeks): Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4b5503460f94b3ff90/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Possible Causes of Children’s Attachment Style
![Page 16: Chapter 3 Human Development. Prenatal Development Occurs in Three Stages Zygote stage (lasts two weeks): Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4b5503460f94b3ff90/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Children Can Handle Parental Separation Under Certain
Conditions • Day care and attachment
– A number of studies have found children who are in full-time daycare to tend toward less secure attachment.
– However, meta-analytic research found no overall differences in attachment between children who stayed home and those who attended day care.
![Page 17: Chapter 3 Human Development. Prenatal Development Occurs in Three Stages Zygote stage (lasts two weeks): Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4b5503460f94b3ff90/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Children Can Handle Parental Separation Under Certain
Conditions • Divorce is a better predictor of adult
function than attachment
– A 23-year longitudinal study of more than 17,000 British infants found that parental divorce had a moderate, long-term negative impact on the mental health of about 12 percent of the children after they grew up.
![Page 18: Chapter 3 Human Development. Prenatal Development Occurs in Three Stages Zygote stage (lasts two weeks): Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4b5503460f94b3ff90/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Self-Concept Is the Primary Social Achievement of Childhood
• Self-concept: the “theory” or “story” a person constructs about herself or himself through social interaction.
• Self-awareness: a psychological state where an individual takes himself or herself as an object of attention. Once self-awareness develops at 18 months, a child begins to develop a self-concept.
![Page 19: Chapter 3 Human Development. Prenatal Development Occurs in Three Stages Zygote stage (lasts two weeks): Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4b5503460f94b3ff90/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Self-esteem
• Self-esteem stability:
– Is relatively low during childhood,– – Increases throughout adolescence
and young adulthood, and
– Declines during midlife and old age.
![Page 20: Chapter 3 Human Development. Prenatal Development Occurs in Three Stages Zygote stage (lasts two weeks): Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4b5503460f94b3ff90/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Children Learn the “Right Way” to Think about Gender
• Gender is constantly changing and being redefined. – Behaviors or interests considered
masculine in one culture may be defined as feminine in others.
![Page 21: Chapter 3 Human Development. Prenatal Development Occurs in Three Stages Zygote stage (lasts two weeks): Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4b5503460f94b3ff90/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Children Learn the “Right Way” to Think about Gender
Gender identity: the knowledge that one is a male or a female and the internalization of this fact into the self-concept
– Shortly after children develop self-awareness they begin to develop their gender identity.
– – Gender identity is one of the basic elements
in self-concept.
![Page 22: Chapter 3 Human Development. Prenatal Development Occurs in Three Stages Zygote stage (lasts two weeks): Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4b5503460f94b3ff90/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Erikson’s Stages
• Developing a sense of trust versus mistrust is the crisis of the first psychosocial stage (birth to 1 year)
• Developing a sense of autonomy versus shame and doubt is the crisis of the second psychosocial stage (1–2 years)
• Developing a sense of initiative versus guilt is the crisis of the third psychosocial stage (3–5 years)
![Page 23: Chapter 3 Human Development. Prenatal Development Occurs in Three Stages Zygote stage (lasts two weeks): Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4b5503460f94b3ff90/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Erikson’s Stages• Developing a sense of industry vs.
inferiority is the crisis of the fourth stage (6-12 years)
• Developing a sense of identity versus role confusion is the crisis of the fifth stage (13–18 years)
![Page 24: Chapter 3 Human Development. Prenatal Development Occurs in Three Stages Zygote stage (lasts two weeks): Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4b5503460f94b3ff90/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Erikson’s Stages
• Developing a sense of intimacy versus isolation is the crisis of the sixth stage (19–45 years)
• Developing a sense of generativity versus stagnation is the crisis of the seventh stage (46–65 years)
• Developing a sense of integrity versus despair is the crisis of the eighth and last stage (66 years and up)
![Page 25: Chapter 3 Human Development. Prenatal Development Occurs in Three Stages Zygote stage (lasts two weeks): Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4b5503460f94b3ff90/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development - Four Stages
• Jean Piaget contended that cognitive development occurs as children organize their structures of knowledge to adapt to their environment.
• A schema is an organized cluster of knowledge that people use to understand and interpret information.
![Page 26: Chapter 3 Human Development. Prenatal Development Occurs in Three Stages Zygote stage (lasts two weeks): Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4b5503460f94b3ff90/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development - Four Stages
• Acquisition of knowledge occurs through the complementary processes of assimilation and accommodation.
– Assimilation: the process of absorbing new information into existing schemas
– Accommodation: the process of changing existing schemas to absorb new information
![Page 27: Chapter 3 Human Development. Prenatal Development Occurs in Three Stages Zygote stage (lasts two weeks): Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4b5503460f94b3ff90/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Piaget’s Stages • Sensorimotor stage (birth–2 years):
– experience the world through actions (grasping, looking, touching, and sucking) • One of the major accomplishments at this stage is
the development of object permanence.
• Preoperational stage (2–6 years):– represent things with words and images
but having no logical reasoning
![Page 28: Chapter 3 Human Development. Prenatal Development Occurs in Three Stages Zygote stage (lasts two weeks): Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4b5503460f94b3ff90/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Piaget’s Stages • Concrete operational stage (7–11
years):– think logically about concrete events;
understanding concrete analogies and performing arithmetic operations
• Formal operational stage (12 years–adulthood): – develop abstract reasoning
![Page 29: Chapter 3 Human Development. Prenatal Development Occurs in Three Stages Zygote stage (lasts two weeks): Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4b5503460f94b3ff90/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Some of Piaget’s Conclusions Have Been Questioned
• Development may be less “stagelike” than he proposed.
• Children may achieve capabilities earlier than he thought.
• All adults may not reach formal operational thought.
![Page 34: Chapter 3 Human Development. Prenatal Development Occurs in Three Stages Zygote stage (lasts two weeks): Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4b5503460f94b3ff90/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Evaluating Piaget• Despite criticisms, most developmental
psychologists agree that Piaget has generally outlined:– An accurate view of many of the significant
changes that occur in mental functioning with increasing childhood maturation; and
– That children are not passive creatures merely being molded by environmental forces, but that they are actively involved in their own cognitive growth.
![Page 35: Chapter 3 Human Development. Prenatal Development Occurs in Three Stages Zygote stage (lasts two weeks): Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4b5503460f94b3ff90/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Vygotsky’s Theory of Cognitive Development
• Private speech and internalization According to Vygotsky, learning occurs
through the social instrument of language.- Children listen to people, observe their actions, and
then internalize this knowledge and make it their own through private speech.
• Zone of proximal development In assessing cognitive development,
Vygotsky maintained that you need to identify children’s zone of proximal development (ZPD). - The ZPD is the cognitive range between what a child
can do on her or his own and what the child can do with the help of adults or more-skilled children.

The Information-Processing Approach
• The information-processing approach contends that a number of important changes occur in children’s information-processing system that directly affect their ability to learn.
• The increase in information-processing speed appears to be due to the maturation of the brain.
![Page 37: Chapter 3 Human Development. Prenatal Development Occurs in Three Stages Zygote stage (lasts two weeks): Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4b5503460f94b3ff90/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Adolescence
• Adolescence, as a stage in life, is a relatively recent phenomenon. – Most societies have always viewed young
people as needing instruction and time to develop.
– In North American culture, the length of the adolescent period has gradually increased over the past 40 years, partly due to our society’s emphasis on attending college.

Heightened Self-Consciousness Is a Hallmark of Adolescence
• imaginary audience: belief that other people are constantly focused on their thoughts, feelings, and behavior.
• personal fable: the tendency for teenagers to believe that no one has ever felt or thought as they do.
• Despite these self-focused tendencies, in most areas of their lives, adolescents are as well adjusted as children and adults.
![Page 40: Chapter 3 Human Development. Prenatal Development Occurs in Three Stages Zygote stage (lasts two weeks): Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4b5503460f94b3ff90/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Parenting and Job Responsibilities Often Provide Conflicts
• Most adults devote tremendous time and effort to pursuing careers and/or raising children. Despite a historical shift toward gender equity:
– Women are much more likely than men to receive mixed societal messages concerning their ability to juggle these dual responsibilities.
– Women’s fear of conflict between occupational and family goals is less of an issue among Black women than White women.
![Page 41: Chapter 3 Human Development. Prenatal Development Occurs in Three Stages Zygote stage (lasts two weeks): Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4b5503460f94b3ff90/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Parenting and Job Responsibilities Often Provide Conflicts
• Modern society has failed to adequately encourage men to expand their responsibilities within the household.
• When families have actively involved and caring fathers, everyone benefits.

Certain Intellectual Abilities Increase While Others Decrease as
We Age
• Despite the physical toll of aging, mental skills remain fully functional throughout most of adult life.
• Around the age of 65, some adults experience a slight decline in certain intellectual abilities.
![Page 43: Chapter 3 Human Development. Prenatal Development Occurs in Three Stages Zygote stage (lasts two weeks): Embryonic stage (lasts from week 3 to week 8)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4b5503460f94b3ff90/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Certain Intellectual Abilities Increase While Others Decrease as
We Age
• Older adults’ reduced neural processing speed does not adversely affect their ability to:
– Reason through everyday problems, – Understand mathematical concepts,
or – Learn new information.
