About Developmental Psychology: Foundations and Early Development
GoConqr OriginalWhat this page covers
The resources here follow the early part of developmental psychology. The flowchart Developmental Psychology opens with nature versus nurture (genes and heritability against environment and experience) and goes on to research methods. Other items cover prenatal development, attachment, cognitive and moral development, gender development, language, play and autism.
Where to start
Begin with the flowchart for the big picture. Then read the flashcards AP Psychology Unit 9 Vocabulary, which define early terms such as the fertilised egg and the embryo. Next, take the Developmental Quiz, which tests whether you understand Piaget's terms assimilation and accommodation beyond their everyday meaning.
Theories and key studies
- Mind maps on Erikson's Psychosocial Development and Freud's Psychosexual Stages of Development set out the stage theories.
- The mind map on Piaget's theory and the one on Piaget and Inhelder (1956) cover cognitive development, while the Samuel and Bryant Quiz lets you test that material.
- The flashcards on Kohlberg (1968) walk through aims, method, sample, procedure, results and evaluation.
- The mind map on children raised in extreme isolation looks at Koluchova (1976) and Curtiss (1977), the case of Genie.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a mind map first, then close it and take a quiz on the same topic. Questions such as the Piaget item or the attachment items in Human Growth & Development show which branches you still need to revisit. Go back to the map, fix the gap, and try again. Flashcards such as Developmental Psychology, with its strange situation questions, suit short bursts of recall.
Where it fits
This unit sits in the Developmental Psychology strand of Psychology. Most of the material is aimed at university students, with a smaller share for school students, and many items mention A-level, AP or IB courses. Choose one topic today, open a map and see how much you can recall.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the Developmental Psychology flowchart. It lays out nature versus nurture and research methods, which gives you a frame for everything else. After that, try the Developmental Quiz to check how well you understand Piaget's ideas, then move on to the mind maps on specific theorists.
What do the mind maps cover?
They cover stage theories from Freud and Erikson, Piaget's cognitive development, Kohlberg's moral development, Bronfenbrenner and Vygotsky. There are also maps on gender development, language, motor development, pretend play, autism and children raised in extreme isolation, so you can pick the topic your course is on.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr itself, so it is worth comparing a few on the same topic to see which explanation suits you.
Which levels and exams do these suit?
Most of the material suits university students and professional candidates, with a smaller share for school students. Some resources mention A-level Psychology, AP Psychology, GCSE Psychology and IB Psychology, so check the titles and excerpts against your own course before you settle on a set.
Can I save my quiz scores or make my own sets?
A free account saves your quiz scores and lets you create your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes. That is useful if you want to turn a lecture into a set of cards or rebuild a theory map in your own words.
What if my topic seems to be missing?
Look for a nearby theorist or term first, since many resources cover several ideas at once. The Lifespan Development and Human Development sets are broad, so they may include your topic. If nothing fits, you can build your own map or flashcards.
