🔵 HUMAN DEVELOPMENT THEORIES: COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS
MAIN BRANCHES
🟣 PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORIES
Core Focus → Unconscious processes, early experiences
1A. Freud's Psychosexual Theory
Focus → Pleasure urges + bodily stages
Key Concepts → Id (pleasure), Ego (reality), Superego (morals)
Stages → Oral | Anal | Phallic | Latency | Genital
1B. Erikson's Psychosocial Theory
Focus → Social/cultural influences across lifespan
Key Idea → Psychosocial crises shape development
Stages → Trust/Mistrust | Autonomy/Shame | Initiative/Guilt | Industry/Inferiority | Identity/Confusion | Intimacy/Isolation | Generativity/Stagnation | Integrity/Despair
🟢 COGNITIVE THEORIES
Core Focus → Thought processes, mental structures
2A. Piaget's Cognitive Developmental Theory
Focus → Active construction of understanding
Key Processes → Schemas | Assimilation | Accommodation | Equilibration
Stages → Sensorimotor | Preoperational | Concrete Operational | Formal Operational
2B. Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory
Focus → Social interaction + culture
Key Concepts → Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) | Scaffolding | Language as tool
2C. Information-Processing Theory
Focus → Encode/store/retrieve info (computer analogy)
Key Concepts → Attention | Memory | Problem-Solving | Processing Speed | Metacognition
🟠BEHAVIORAL & SOCIAL COGNITIVE THEORIES
Core Focus → Observable behavior, environment
3A. Skinner's Operant Conditioning
Focus → Behavior shaped by consequences
Key Concepts → Reinforcement (±) | Punishment (±) | Shaping | Extinction
3B. Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory
Focus → Observational learning + cognition
Key Concepts → Modeling | Self-Efficacy | Reciprocal Determinism
🔴 ETHOLOGICAL THEORIES
Core Focus → Biology, evolution, innate behavior
4A. Lorenz's Imprinting Theory
Focus → Rapid learning in critical period
Key Concepts → Imprinting | Critical Period
4B. Bowlby's Attachment Theory
Focus → Caregiver-infant bond
Key Concepts → Attachment Types (Secure/Avoidant/Resistant/Disorganized) | Internal Working Models | Sensitive Period
🔵 ECOLOGICAL THEORY
Core Focus → Interconnected environmental systems

Key Systems → Microsystem | Mesosystem | Exosystem | Macrosystem | Chronosystem
