Total: _____________ /50
of developmental changes from the
p a s t a n d B e y o n d . . . ! ”
From Birth to death, from Piaget
to Kübler-Ross, we have looked
at the many milestones and
slippery stages of human
development. Now it’s time to
apply all these theories to YOUR
LIFE. That’s right! Your Life!
Muster up some old
photographs of yourself from
birth to present. (Please make
copies of these rather than use
the originals.) Use these to
represent your own stages of
development. You will explain
each concept of development
by giving examples from your
life. Find pictures from
magazines or the internet that
will represent your later years.
Create a scrapbook or any type
of graphical description of your
life during and the psychological
stages discussed. This will
cover from BIRTH to DEATH.
Example: picture of yourself at 2
weeks old with a caption saying
“Me – two weeks old – Infancy – I
can’t walk yet, but I have many
reflexes such as the rooting
reflex. This is when someone
touches my cheek or near my
mouth, causing me I turn my head
and open my mouth.”
Required Periods and
Concepts to Cover
1. Physical Development –
a) Infant reflexes, critical
stages
b) Motor Development in Infancy
– from 4-16 months, and infants
motor development proceeds in
an orderly sequence
c) Puberty – adolescent growth
spurt, what happens?
d) Middle age – Changes in
body
e) Old age – Changes in Health
f) Finally, the gruesome question,
how will you die? Will you die
from one of the most prevalent
chronic diseases discussed in
class? Evaluate your
habits regarding health and
look at heredity for your
answer.
This Is Your Life!
2. Social Development –
a) Attachment, Stranger Anxiety
b) Konrad Lorenz – Imprinting
c) Harry Harlow – Contact Comfort
d) Parenting styles – Which
ones? relationship with parents
f) James Marcia’s – Identity formation –
four categories, which ones are you?
g) Erik Erikson’s Eight Stages of
Development (Incorporate throughout
your life).
h) Various concepts: Generativity, & Empty
Nest Syndrome
i) Aging and adjustment – ego integrity,
techniques of a long & healthy life.
i) Elizabeth Kübler Ross’ five stages of
dying.
3. Cognitive Development –
a) Jean Piaget’s theory of Cognitive
Development – four stages.
b) Lawrence Kohlberg – explained 3 levels
of moral development
c) Old age – Memory and keys to maintaining
memory. Or will you suffer from senility?
No, you may not die at birth and be done
with the project. For the case of the
assignment it probably would be nice if
everyone will live until at LEAST their 70s –
remember the average American lives to
be about 78.7 years old. Look at your
family history (nature) and the way you live
your life (nurture) for clues on how you may
DIE. Please don’t kill yourself off early.
The Timeline
You will present your photo album on the
last day of class.
Things To Do List:
• Create a or scrapbook
• Look at what we have covered in class
as far as the developmental stages and
theories. Most of these have been
covered in the PPTs we’ve used in class.
Think about examples to use on your
“This is Your Life” book. List the items on
a separate sheet of paper.
• Find old and current pictures of yourself.
• Find pictures that might resemble how
you might look in the future. Pictures of
your mom could be great resources or
you can find pictures from magazines
and the internet. (You know I absolutely
would use the one we saw last week with
the older women walking in the parade
with the “swimsuit” t-shirts if I were
creating this scrapbook for me!)
