Developmental Psychology: Foundations and Early Development mind maps

Developmental Psychology: Foundations and Early Development mind maps

These user-made maps organize topics into connected ideas. Child Psychology introduces historical views of childhood, while Motor Development covers reflexes and movement. Other maps look at gender development, language development and pretend play.

For a starting point, Child Psychology offers a way into historical perspectives. You can then compare Freud's Psychosexual Stages of Development with Erikson's Psychosocial Development, following the branches in each map to see how the stages are organized.

Study with a map

Choose a branch and explain its connection to the central topic in your own words. Then look at the map again to check what you included. The map on children raised in extreme isolation also separates study details from evaluation, giving you another way to organize your reading.

When you want to test recall, switch to a quiz on the unit page. Notes or flashcards can help when you want to study details in another format. Open a map and follow one branch to get started.
