You must address both Part One and Part Two of the template. Complete this template by replacing the bracketed text with the relevant information. Part One: Theories at a Glance Table After reviewing the example row, complete the table below to prepare you to complete Project Two. Identify the appropriate perspective(s) that best relate to each theorist by inserting an X under the appropriate perspective column. It is possible that some theorists may apply more than one perspective. Identify the primary theoretical concept(s) of each theorist and provide a brief explanation of the perspective–theorist alignment you identified. Theorist Biological Perspectiv e Indicate with an ‘X’ if present in the theory. Psychologic al Perspective Indicate with an ‘X’ if present in the theory. Social Perspectiv e Indicate with an ‘X’ if present in the theory. Primary Theoretical Concept(s) or Theme and Explanation Sigmund Freud (example row) X X Primary Concepts: Psychosexual development, conflicts, neuroses Explanation: Freud's insights on unconscious processes is linked to the biological perspective. For example, different brain systems (i.e., hippocampus, amygdala, sensory cortex) impact memory, emotion, and sensation, all of which can influence our perception. In addition, Freud's focus on conflicts and neuroses is linked to the psychological perspective. For example, unresolved trauma can manifest in phobias, compulsions, and unintentional expressions. Erik Erikson X X Is a eight-stage theory of psychosocial development describes growth and change throughout life, focusing on social interaction and conflicts that arise during different stages of development. His eight-stage theory of human development described this process from infancy through death. During each stage, people are faced with a developmental conflict that impacts later functioning and further growth. Maria Montessori X X X child-centered educational approach based on scientific observations of children from birth to adulthood. It is an approach that values the human spirit and the development of the whole child— physical, social, emotional, cognitive.
Jean Piaget X His cognitive theory seeks to describe and explain the development of thought processes and mental states. It also looks at how these thought processes influence the way we understand and interact with the world. Lev Vygotsky X He believed that social interaction plays a critical role in children's learning. Imitation, guided learning, and collaborative learning all play a critical part in his theory. Aaron Beck X He believed that thoughts, feelings, and behavior were all linked together. When the person acts poorly, they have negative outcomes to situations which causes them to have more negative thoughts. John Watson X Watson's behaviorist theory focused not on the internal emotional and psychological conditions of people, but rather on their external and outward behaviors. He believed that a person's physical responses provided the only insight into internal actions. B. F. Skinner X X B.F. Skinner is based upon the idea that learning is a function of change in overt behavior. Changes in behavior are the result of an individual's response to events that occur in the environment. Mary Ainsworth X X Attachment theory holds that infants need a 'secure' attachment to thrive, while anxious attachments can lead to problems. Albert Bandura X Social learning theory, proposed by Albert Bandura, emphasizes the importance of observing, modelling, and imitating the behaviors, attitudes, and emotional reactions of others. Social learning theory considers how both environmental and cognitive factors interact to influence human learning and behavior. Kurt Fischer X X X dynamic skill theory is a comprehensive theory of human development that not only illustrates mechanisms of development and a developmental sequence, but also considers the impact of contextual and interpersonal factors on learning. UrieBronfenbren ner X X X He believed that a person's development was affected by everything in their surrounding environment. He divided the person's environment into five different levels: the microsystem, the mesosystem,
the exosystem, the macrosystem, and the chronosystem Part Two: Short-Response Questions Identify a theorist from the Theories at a Glance table, summarize their theory, and explain the aspects of that theory that relate to one of the three perspectives : biological, psychological, or social. Support your answer with a credible source. In our learning about different theorists I found Jean Piaget most interesting. He was a Swiss psychologist and genetic epistemologist that is famously known for his theory of cognitive development that looked at childhood development. Piaget theorized that children think much differently than adults especially during play. He created constructivist theory that theorized that people constructed their ideas from experience throughout childhood. Piaget's theory is biological and psychological, focusing on cognitive development.

Select another theorist from the Theories at a Glance table and explain how their theory applies to your own learning development and lived experience. One theorists that I can say applied to my own learning development was Lev Vygotsky. He believed that social interaction and imitation is a be factor in child development. I can say I agree with this from playing baseball, golf, gymnastics and swimming as a child/adolescent. You learn how to play sports and do other physical skills though direct imitation or guided learning with an instructor. Without this learning to play a sport is almost impossible.
