Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition01:24

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

A revisionist approach to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has brought new insights that challenge and reinterpret his established ideas. Piaget proposed that the formal operational stage, emerging in adolescence, represents the culmination of cognitive maturity. During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are themselves.
Critical Thinking01:19

Critical Thinking

Critical thinking involves reflective and productive thinking and the evaluation of evidence. Critical thinkers seek to understand the deeper meaning of ideas, question assumptions, and make independent decisions about what to believe or do. Scientists, for instance, are often critical thinkers. Critical thinking also requires humility about what we know and don't know and the motivation to look beyond the obvious. It is essential for effective problem-solving.

Principles of Development01:31

Principles of Development

Physical development during the prenatal period and early childhood follows two major directional principles: cephalocaudal and proximodistal development. These general patterns happen simultaneously and help explain changes in body proportions and the gradual development of motor skills.Cephalocaudal DevelopmentThe cephalocaudal principle describes development from the head downward toward the lower body. During prenatal development, the head and brain structures develop rapidly before many...

Principles of the Life-Span Developmental Approach: Part 1

Paul B. Baltes and colleagues described several key principles of development across the lifespan. The first four emphasize that development is continuous and complex. It is shaped by experience, interacting influences, changing abilities, and the relationship between biology and culture. Together, these principles show why development is more complex than a simple sequence of age-related changes.Development is LifelongDevelopment begins early and continues throughout life, with experiences at...

Principles of the Life-Span Developmental Approach: Part 2

Paul B. Baltes and colleagues described several key principles of lifespan development to explain how individuals change from childhood through late adulthood. These principles focus on the allocation of personal resources, the capacity for change, and the influence of historical and cultural environments. They show that development can change but is also limited by individual and environmental conditions.Development Involves Changing Resource AllocationsAcross the lifespan, individuals...
Introduction to Nuclear Reprogramming01:14

Introduction to Nuclear Reprogramming

Nuclear reprogramming is the process of switching gene expression of one cell type to that of another cell type, usually from a differentiated cell state to an undifferentiated cell state. Differentiation occurs during processes such as development and morphogenesis, tissue regeneration, and malignancy. Cells can also be artificially induced to reprogram their gene expression by techniques such as nuclear transfer, induced pluripotency, and cell fusion. Such techniques have many applications in...
