• Jean Piaget
• Explained how intelligence and cognitive
functioning develop in children
Child develops sense
of self as separate
Sensorimotor (birth to from the environment
2 years) and the concept of
object and
permanence
• Child slowly develops concepts that people, and objects have
permanence, even though they are no longer visible
Child develops the ability
to express self with
Preoperational (2-6yrs language, understand
old) the meaning of symbolic
gestures and begins to
classify objects
• Child focuses on one aspect at a time (centration) and thought often
seems illogical because child reason from one specific to another
Child begins to apply logic
to thinking, understand
spatiality and reversibility
Concrete operation ( 6-12
and is increasingly social
yrs old)
and able to apply
rules:however, thinking is
still concrete
• Child’s thinking is restricted to immediate and physical. School-aged
children can reason about what is but cannot hypothesize about
what may be and thus cannot think about future problems
Child learns to think
and reason in abstract
Formal operation (12- terms, further develops
15 years and above) logical thinking,
achieves cognitive
maturity

suggest a number of solutions. Ability to consider moral and political
issues from variety of perspective is present.
CBT
A-----------B----------C
(event) (belief) (emotional response)
Irrational beliefs
is the study of the interactions among behavioral, neural and endocrine, and immune
processes
The brain communicates with the immune system through autonomic nervous system and
neuroendocrine activity.
Conversely, an activated immune system generates chemical signals (cytokines) that are
perceived by the nervous system. Thus, bidirectional pathways connect the brain and the
immune system and provide the foundation for behavioral influences on immune functions.
• Pavlovian conditioning can suppress or enhance immune responses and stressful life
experiences and emotional states (e.g., depression) are generally immunosuppressive.
These effects are biologically meaningful in that they appear to be implicated in altering
the development and/or progression of immunologically mediated disease processes.
