• Maturation – natural growth or
change that unfolds in a fixed
sequence according to one’s
hereditary endowment

• Are you a manager? The
following short test consists of
four short questions which test
your intelligence and the result
tells you, whether you are truly a
manager or a child.
• The questions are easy (the

MATURATION PRICIPLES
1) Learning depends upon the
biological basis being present
as well as the opportunity to
practice
2) Chronological age and
maturational age although
related are not synonymous
3) Although overall maturational
development is forward and
continuous, plateaus and
regression in the child’s
MATURATION PRICIPLES
1) The more biologically mature a
child is, the easier for him to
learn a given task
2) The child usually gives signals
indicating maturational
readiness for a given task
3) The child’s maturational
development progresses from
general to specific behavior

the union of a cell formed from
sperm and an a sperm and an
ovum ovum
 PRENATAL
DEVELOPMENT
• Germinal Stage – the stage of
prenatal development that spans
the period from fertilization to
implantation

DEVELOPMENT
• Embryonic Stage – stage of
prenatal development from
implantation through about the
eight week of pregnancy during
which the major organ systems
begin to form

organism from the 14th day after
fertilization until the end of the
second month after conception

provides for the exchange of
nutrients and waste materials
between mother and fetus
 PRENATAL
DEVELOPMENT
 PRENATAL
DEVELOPMENT

recognition that objects continue to
exist even if they have disappeared
from sight
 PIAGET’S COGNITIVE
THEORY
• Preoperational Stage
• the second stage of cognitive
development, during which children
begin to use symbols to represent
things that are not present

• Symbolic representation – a term
referring to the use of words to
represent objects and describe
experiences

development, during which
children’s thinking is no longer
dominated by visual appearances
• 7 – 11
• Becomes less egocentric
• Conservation is developed
• Can perform simple logical
operations but only when tried to

 PIAGET’S COGNITIVE
THEORY
• If A is greater than B and B is
greater than C, is A greater than
C?
 PIAGET’S COGNITIVE
THEORY

Children will probably see a group of playing dolphins. But adults see usually something
else. It's called Message of Love from the Dolphins (by Sandro Del-Prete).
 PIAGET’S COGNITIVE
THEORY
• Formal Operational Stage
• The fourth stage in cognitive
development when abstract
thinking first appears
• Begins at 11 or 12
• Ability to think logically about
abstract ideas
• Generate hypotheses
• Think deductively
• Yet not all children, nor all adults,
 PIAGET’S COGNITIVE
THEORY
• She-goat, Wolf and Cabbage
– A farmer is returning from market, where he
bought a she-goat, a wolf and cabbage. On the
way home he must cross a river. His boat is
little, allowing him to take only one of the three
things. He can't keep the she-goat and the
cabbage together (because the she-goat would
eat it), nor the she-goat with the wolf (because
the she-goat would be eaten).
How shall the farmer get everything on the
other side (without any harm)?
 PIAGET’S COGNITIVE
THEORY

solution
Take the she-goat to the other side. Go back, take cabbage, unload it on the
other side where you load the she-goat, go back and unload it. Take the wolf
to the other side where you unload it. Go back for the she-goat.
 PIAGET’S COGNITIVE
THEORY
• The Man in the Elevator
• A man lives on the tenth floor of a
building. Every morning he takes the
elevator down to the lobby and leaves
the building. In the evening, he gets into
the elevator, and, if there is someone
else in the elevator - or if it was raining
that day - he goes back to his floor
directly. Otherwise, he goes to the
seventh floor and walks up three flights
of stairs to his apartment. Can you
explain why?
PIAGET’S COGNITIVE
THEORY
• The man is of
short stature. He
can't reach the
upper elevator
buttons, but he can
ask people to push
them for him. He
can also push them
with his umbrella.
 PSYCHOSOCIAL
DEVELOPMENT
• Erik Homburger
Erikson (June 15,
1902 – May 12,
1994) was a
German-American
developmental psychologist
and psychoanalyst
known for his
theory on social development
of human beings.
 ERIKSON’S
PSYCHOSOCIAL
DEVELOPMENT
• Trust versus Mistrust
• Developing a basic sense of trust in
the caregiver and the environment
• Birth to 1 yr
• Autonomy versus Shame and
Doubt
• Children learn to exercise will, to
make choices and to control
themselves, or they become
uncertain and doubt that they can
do things by themselves
 ERIKSON’S
PSYCHOSOCIAL
DEVELOPMENT
• Initiative versus Guilt
• Children learn to initiate activities
and enjoy their accomplishments,
acquiring direction and purpose. Or,
if not allowed, they feel guilty for
their attempts at independence.
• 3 – 6 yrs
 ERIKSON’S
PSYCHOSOCIAL
DEVELOPMENT
• Industry versus Inferiority
• Children develop a sense of
industry and curiosity and are
eager to learn – or they feel inferior
and lose interest in the tasks before
them
• 6 – puberty (12) yrs
 FOUNDATIONS OF
SOCIAL BEHAVIOR
• Imitation – child becomes a part
of the social group by imitating
others
• Shyness – child can distinguish
between familiar people and
stranger
• Dependency – the more the child
is cared for by one person, the
more dependent he becomes on
that person
PARENTING STYLES
 FOUNDATIONS OF
SOCIAL BEHAVIOR
• Acceptance of Authority – child
learns to conform to the request
of those who are in authority
• Rivalry – depends on the
associations with other children
• Attention Seeking – child tries to
get the attention of adults by
crying, grabbing or hitting them
and doing forbidden things.
 FOUNDATIONS OF
SOCIAL BEHAVIOR
• Social Cooperation – child tends
to participate in group activities
or gatherings
• Resistant Behavior – unless the
child is given opportunities to be
dependent, resistant behavior
will lead to negativism.
 PARENTING STYLES
• Authoritarian Parents – firm,
punitive, and unsympathetic
parents who value obedience
from the child and authority for
themselves
• Authoritative Parents – parents
who reason with the child,
encourage give and take, and
are firm but understanding
(democratic)

development at which
individuals become
physiologically capable of
reproducing

• Secondary Sex Characteristics –
physical characteristics that
differentiate males and females
but not directly involve

physical characteristics, such as
the gonads, that differentiate
males and females and play a
direct role in reproduction

KOHLBERG’S STAGES OF
MORAL REASONING
• Lawrence Kohlberg (October 25,
1927 – January 19, 1987) was an American
psychologist, who served as a professor at
the University of Chicago, as well as
Harvard University. Known for his research
in moral education, reasoning, and
development, he developed
stages of moral development.
 KOHLBERG’S STAGES OF
MORAL REASONING
• In Europe, a woman was near death from a special
kind of cancer. There was one drug that the doctors
thought might save her. It was a form of radium that a
druggist in the same town had recently discovered.
The drug was expensive to make, but the druggist was
charging ten times what the drug cost him to make.
He paid $200 for the radium and charged $2,000 for a
small dose of the drug. The sick woman's husband,
Heinz, went to everyone he knew to borrow the
money, but he could only get together about $ 1,000
which is half of what it cost. He told the druggist that
his wife was dying and asked him to sell it cheaper or
let him pay later. But the druggist said: "No, I
discovered the drug and I'm going to make money
from it." So Heinz got desperate and broke into the
KOHLBERG’S STAGES OF
MORAL REASONING
• Preconventional Level
– Moral reasoning is based on the
consequences of behavior
• Stage 1 : obedience and
punishment orientation
• Good behavior is that which avoids
punishment by external authority

• Stage 2 : instrumental purpose

intention
• A behavior is good when it serves the
KOHLBERG’S STAGES OF
MORAL REASONING
• Conventional Level
– Moral reasoning is based on conformity
with conventional rules
• Stage 3 : “Good boy-good girl”
• Conformity with rules to impress others

• Stage 4 : Authority or Law-and-

Order Orientation
• Obeying rules and laws because they
needed to maintain social order
KOHLBERG’S STAGES OF
MORAL REASONING
• Postconventional Level
– Moral reasoning is based on one’s
personal moral standards or principles
• Stage 5 : Social Contract
Orientation
• Viewing rules and laws as based on
mutual agreement in the service of the
common good
• Stage 6 : Universal Ethical Principle
Orientation
• Adopting an internal moral code based
on universal values that takes
KOHLBERG’S STAGES OF
MORAL REASONING
 ADOLESCENCE
• Hotel Bill
• Three people check into a hotel. They pay
$30 to the manager and go to their room.
The manager finds out that the room rate
is $25 and gives $5 to the bellboy to
return. On the way to the room the bellboy
reasons that $5 would be difficult to share
among three people so he pockets $2 and
gives $1 to each person. Now each person
paid $10 and got back $1. So they paid $9
each, totalling $27. The bellboy has $2,
totalling $29.
 ADOLESCENCE
• Identity crisis – in Erickson’s
theory, a stressful period of
serious soul-searching and self-
examination of issues relating to
personal values and one’s
direction in life
• Ego Identity – in Erickson’s
theory, the attainment of a
psychological sense of knowing
oneself and one’s direction in
 ADOLESCENCE
• Role Diffusion – in Erickson’s
model, a lack of direction or
aimlessness with respect to
one’s role in life or public
identity
• Peer Relationships – “fitting in”
or belonging comes to a play an
even greater role in determining
their self-esteem and emotional
adjustment
 ADOLESCENT
FRIENDSHIP
• Equality
• Friendship requires equality.
• It's easy to be friends with individuals
whom we're told are our equals.
• Confusing Friends and Lovers
• Sometimes a man or a woman refers to
the woman or man she's having a
sexual relationship with as her "friend."
• This communicates lack of commitment.
 ADOLESCENT LOVE
• Anima and Animus
• You feel passionate love when you meet
an individual who reflects the hidden,
contrasexual elements of your
personality.
• Projection
• You project additional personality
elements onto the person. You imagine
your future life together.
• Fear of intimacy
• Unrequited love

 FIRST DATE QUIZ
• 1. What to do on the perfect first date:
• a)  Candlelight dinner for two
0 points
Sorry, but not the best first date choice. A difficult setting for feeling comfortable and getting better
acquainted.

b)  Lunch or cup of coffee

5 points
Great idea. Without getting overly flashy or romantic, you're providing the opportunity to get to
know each other. There will be lots of time to talk, get to know each other's likes and dislikes, etc.
Both people can feel comfortable in a low pressure situation that promotes conversation.

c)  Secluded lookout above the city

0 points
Sorry, but definitely not a first, second or third date choice. You're likely to appear to be coming on
too strong, or your date might not be comfortable being alone in a secluded place with someone
they don't know well yet.

d)  Rock concert
1 point
Sorry, but again, definitely not the best first date choice. Too expensive, too little opportunity to
communicate.

e)  Movie
3 points
Good choice, but not the best - a movie is a good neutral date location, but doesn't provide much of
an opportunity for conversation. If you're going to do the movie route, then be sure to grab that cup
of coffee afterwards.
 FIRST DATE QUIZ
• 2. The first words out of your mouth are:
a)  "Oh. You're here."
0 points
Heh, oops, you might as well end it now, smooth talker.

b)  "You look great! I love that shirt."

5 points
Perfect. A simple "you look great" is always good, but complimenting a specific piece
of clothing or feature adds sincerity.

c)  "Damnnnn, you look sexy!"

0 points
No, please no.

d)  "Um, are you going to wear that?"

1 point
Appropriate only if they are in a swimsuit and you�re going snow skiing�

e)  "What's up?"
1 point
Not great - but better than a blank stare.
 FIRST DATE QUIZ
• 3. The perfect movie for your perfect first date:
a)  Seed of Chucky
0 points
Um, a horror movie for a first date? Noooo ....

b)  Motorcycle Diaries (or any foreign language film with subtitles)

2 points
Not bad, but you may come off as trying too hard to impress with a foreign language film. They can
be great, but save it for a future date.

c)  Spongebob Squarepants - the Movie

1 point
Cute, unless you wear your Spongebob t-shirt and baseball cap, and bring your Spogebob cup for
soda. If that's the case, -5 points

d)  Ocean's Eleven (or Twelve)

5 points
Good neutral movies are the best here. Avoid the chick flick or the hacker slasher, even thrillers can
be too much for some people. There are usually many movies out there that appeal to both sexes.

e)  Farenheit 911
1 point
Only if you met at an Anti-Bush rally. (Best to leave the old standard subject matter taboos alone -
no sex, religion, or politics)
 FIRST DATE QUIZ
• 4. The 'conversation-lull-during-the-date' solution on your date:
a)  Say nothing. It'll take care of itself
1 point
It might take care of itself, but short lulls can lead to long lulls, which can be date killers. Try to re-
start the conversation.

b)  Go to the bathroom

1 points
Yes, this escape provides the terminally desperate with time to think of something to talk about, but
if you can think on your feet, all the better. Don't risk the chance of your date thinking you're
uncomfortable with him or her.

c)  Tell a joke
3 point
Not bad, if it's a cute, appropriate joke. Avoid the tasteless (dirty or racy, or racist). A clever, short
joke can restart things. Follow up with a topic of conversation.

d)  Move in for the first kiss

0 points
Don't even think about it. If you do it - it'll be a kiss of death to your potential relationship.

e)  Pretend your cell phone's ringing

1 point
If you're totally at a loss for words. You can check it, as if it vibrated. Maybe you'll get a brilliant
flash for a conversation topic - or smarter yet - you'll remember one of the topics that you planned
AHEAD OF TIME to bring up on your the date!!!
 FIRST DATE QUIZ
• 5. The bill arrives for coffee or lunch or dessert.
a)  Grab the bill and absolutely INSIST on paying it
1 point
Nice gesture, but too pushy. You don't want your date to feel like they owe you something. If they
want to pay for half, or absolutely insist on paying it all, let them, but say you'll get it next time.

b)  Pretend the bill isn't there.

0 points
No one likes a cheapskate. Your date noticed the bill arriving, and you should have, too.

c)  Pick it up, reach for your wallet, and say "Dutch, right?" (meaning split the bill)
0 points
Don't assume they want to pay for half. Again, you may come off as being cheap.

d)  Reach for it, but agree to go 'Dutch' if your date offers to pay.
4 points
Good. It's classy to offer to pay but graciously accept their contribution.

e)  Put your pet roach on a plate, call the waiter and insist that you won't pay
0 points
Are you kidding? (This is a great way to get rid of a date...)
 FIRST DATE QUIZ
• 6. The dinner, movie, coffe, lunch is over, the bill is paid. You:
• a)  Ask your date if they want to take a walk (weather providing)
2 point
Not a bad choice, but if it's a first date, a late night walk might still not be the best choice, unless
you've known the person for a long time.

b)  Ask your date if they want a piece of gum.

1 point
Nice, but may be taken the wrong way. They might think you're implying that they �need' it.

c)  Ask your date, "your place, or mine?"

0 points
You're a sleezebag on wheels.
This approach usually only works in the movies, and if it were to work on your date, they're
probably not boyfriend / girlfriend material.

d)  Say "I've had a nice time."

0 points
This non-commital statement will drive your date crazy whiel they wonder if you ever want to see
them again.

e)  Say, "I really had fun, maybe we can come back and try the hot fudge brownie
sometime."
5 points
This tells your date that you did have a good time, you enjoyed being with them

• 7. You and your date both see a $50 bill next to the cashier ...
• a)  Say to your date, "Coffee is on me!"
1 point
Funny, but not very honest. Cheap, too! At least offer to take them bowling.

b)  Pick it up, and stuff it in your pocket, without saying a word.

0 points
Again, not the honest approach, and your date will know that you're not trustworthy...

c)  Tell your date "I saw it first!" and jump on it!

0 points
You're once again a certified sleezebag on wheels.

d)  Pick it up and hand it to the cashier, telling them "someone must have dropped this."
5 points
Good idea. You may even get to keep the money if no one claims it and the cashier is honest. Either
way, you�re character will shine through for your date.

e)  Pick it up and promise to split it with your date.

0 points
If your date agrees, you deserve each other.
