 INTRODUCT
ION
● Theories of development provide a framework for thinking about human

growth, development, and learning.

● It also provides a comprehensive view of the primary theoretical models

of human development including those from the biological,

psychoanalytic, behavioral, and cognitive developmental perspectives.

DEVELOPMENTAL THEORIES
Developmental theories provide a set of guiding principles and
concepts that describe and explain human development. Some
developmental theories focus on the formation of a specific quality,
such as Kohlberg’s Theory of Moral Development. Other
developmental theories focus on growth that happens throughout

the lifespan, such as Erikson’s Psycho-Social Theory of Development

 Did you know?
Erikson's Psychosocial Developmental
Theory

Erik Erikson was an important figure in the

fields of psychoanalytic and psychological
development. He was also the famous coiner of the
popular phrase “identity crisis”. Central to much of
his work was his theory on psychosocial
development. As it became known, Erikson’s
Psychosocial Developmental Theory produced a
framework for organizing human growth, through
all stages of life, into eight distinct stages. Key to
the outcomes of the child stages as well as those

afterward are the principles of social interaction

and experience.
 Did you know?
Bowlby's Attachment Theory

John Bowlby was another groundbreaking

psychologist and theorist in matters of development.
He also crafted one of the earliest known child
development theories which still sees prominent use
and citation today. In Bowlby’s Attachment Theory,
he asserted that much of child development is based
on the innate need of children to form attachments.
These attachments may involve any number of
people, places, or things and ultimately have a
substantial effect on onward development patterns
SLIDESMANIA

throughout life.
 Did you know?
Freud's Psychosexual Developmental Theory

According to Encyclopedia Britannica, Sigmund Freud

“may justly be called the most influential intellectual
legislator of his age.” While creating the modern field of
psychoanalytics, Freud also went on to make many other
significant contributions to the sciences including the
assertion of multiple, important theories. Freud’s
Psychosexual Developmental Theory was one of these
important products in which Freud explained that child
experiences, experienced at different ages in childhood,
directly go on to dictate personality and behavior
patterns in the later adult. This general theory has since
SLIDESMANIA

birthed virtually countless studies, disciplines, and other

academic and business establishments.
 Did you know?
Bandura's Social Learning Theory

Albert Bandura’s Social Learning Theory is

commonly relied upon today across many
industries and professions. This theory states
that while much child learning and
development does come from direct
experience, much also comes from modeling
and simple observations. Bandura himself is
another important and very pioneering figure
in psychology who is currently the Professor
SLIDESMANIA

Emeritus at Stanford University.

 Did you know?
Piaget's Cognitive Developmental Theory.

Piaget’s Cognitive Developmental Theory

states that children, quite simply, think
differently than adults. While this may seem
obvious to some, this was a revolutionary
theory that went on to provide the foundations
for several other theories to come. Essentially,
this theory divided the child life into four
separate categories, or stages, each of which
carries its own important qualities and
SLIDESMANIA

vulnerabilities. Jean Piaget, the theory’s author

was a notable psychologist and scientist of his
time.
 02
GRAND THEORIES
Grand theories are those comprehensive
ideas often proposed by major thinkers
such as Sigmund Freud, Erik Erikson and
Jean Piaget
SLIDESMANIA
 03
MINITHEORIES
Mini theories describe a small, very specific aspect of
development. A mini theory might explain fairly narrow
behaviours, such as how self-esteem is formed or early
childhood socializations. These theories are often rooted in
the idea established by grand theories, but they do not seek
to describe and explain the whole of human behaviour and
SLIDESMANIA

growth
 04
EMERGENT THEORIES
Emergent theories are those that have been created relatively
recently and are often formed by systematically combining various
mini-theories. These theories draw on research and ideas from
different disciplines but are not yet as broad or far-reaching as grand
theories. The sociocultural theory proposed by Lev Vygotsky is a
good example of an emergent theory of development.
