Before child development was a concept preformationist was the
theory that prevailed regarding children (Cole et al., 2018). Before the
late 20th century, children were thought of only as adults in tiny
bodies whose needs, desires and emotions were like those of adults
(Cole et al., 2018). Children were dressed in clothing that resembled
miniature adult clothes and were not given toys or the freedom to
explore their childish wants. Their development was never a theory to
be researched until William Preyer and others began to question the
development of children, and thus the study of child development
began (Cole et al., 2018). The importance of studying child
development is to give insight into how they eventually become
adults. This happens through many stages of development. These
insights can be used to help guide children through these stages of
development. Albert Bandura’s social learning theory gives interesting
insights into how children develop by observing those around them.
Child development is the sequence of changes or stages that occur in a
child’s life starting at birth until maturity (Cole et al., 2018). These
changes include the physical, cognitive, emotional, language and
social developments that occur during a child’s life. Infants aren’t
born knowing how to walk, talk or emote. Child development is the
study that shows how infants get from crying based on instinctual
needs to children that can walk, communicate, and show a full range
of emotions. In the early 20th century, it was believed that children
were born with inherent adult processes that were dormant until
triggered (Cole et al., 2018). Child development theorists have since
proven that is not the case. Children learn and grow based on their
biological properties and their environment.
Child development is studied so that parents, clinicians, teachers, and
others have a better understanding of how a child changes as they
grow and how to support those changes in a positive way. Questions
surrounding what drives development, how much influence does
environment have on development, what makes children different
from one another along with what stages of development trigger what
types of changes and many others, are theorized in the study of child
development. Insights into why children behave in certain ways,
abnormal behavior, motivation, cultural understanding, and many
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
other questions are studied. The answers or hypotheses to all are
important in learning how children develop and how they eventually
learn to be adults.
The theory of child development that most interests me is Bandura’s
social learning theory. Social learning theory posits that personality
traits and behaviors are learned by observation of those in our
environment. It breaks from the idea that all behaviors and traits are
conditioned (Cherry, 2020). Observation can be visual or auditory.
Watching others interact or just listening to them can influence
development.
The concept of modeling or learning behaviors from peers is
interesting to me. Children learn new skills and behaviors from those
around them. They take these new behaviors and incorporate them
into their own live and test out the consequences associated with them.
Bandura’s concept of modeling lends a lot to the development of
gender roles (Cole et al., 2018). Behavior modification is also
something that I find intriguing and dangerous if used by those with
bad intentions. Bandura and his colleagues believed that personality
traits are learned from observation of those around us and therefore
could be unlearned (Cole et al., 2018). This idea has potential in many
different aspects of development like fear avoidance, aggression etc.
The application of behavior modification could be invaluable to
understanding and reversing abnormal and unwanted traits.
Child development was widely ignored until the late 20th century
when theorists began to question if children really were tiny adults.
The desire to understand how they function, and change led to a
burgeoning field of study that has shaped how children are viewed and
how they are raised. It is important to understand the developmental
stages associated with children so that they can be given the
opportunity to learn and grow in environments that will feed their
development. Understanding how children develop helps create more
well-rounded adults.

development. Insights into why children behave in certain ways,
abnormal behavior, motivation, cultural understanding, and many
other questions are studied. The answers or hypotheses to all are
important in learning how children develop and how they eventually
learn to be adults.
The theory of child development that most interests me is Bandura’s
social learning theory. Social learning theory posits that personality
traits and behaviors are learned by observation of those in our
environment. It breaks from the idea that all behaviors and traits are
conditioned (Cherry, 2020). Observation can be visual or auditory.
Watching others interact or just listening to them can influence
development.
The concept of modeling or learning behaviors from peers is
interesting to me. Children learn new skills and behaviors from those
around them. They take these new behaviors and incorporate them
into their own live and test out the consequences associated with them.
Bandura’s concept of modeling lends a lot to the development of
gender roles (Cole et al., 2018). Behavior modification is also
something that I find intriguing and dangerous if used by those with
bad intentions. Bandura and his colleagues believed that personality
traits are learned from observation of those around us and therefore
could be unlearned (Cole et al., 2018). This idea has potential in many
different aspects of development like fear avoidance, aggression etc.
The application of behavior modification could be invaluable to
understanding and reversing abnormal and unwanted traits.
Child development was widely ignored until the late 20th century
when theorists began to question if children really were tiny adults.
The desire to understand how they function, and change led to a
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
burgeoning field of study that has shaped how children are viewed and
how they are raised. It is important to understand the developmental
stages associated with children so that they can be given the
opportunity to learn and grow in environments that will feed their
development. Understanding how children develop helps create more
well-rounded adults.
Child development is the sequence of changes or stages that occur in a
child’s life starting at birth until maturity (Cole et al., 2018). These
changes include the physical, cognitive, emotional, language and
social developments that occur during a child’s life. Infants aren’t
born knowing how to walk, talk or emote. Child development is the
study that shows how infants get from crying based on instinctual
needs to children that can walk, communicate, and show a full range
of emotions. In the early 20th century, it was believed that children
were born with inherent adult processes that were dormant until
triggered (Cole et al., 2018). Child development theorists have since
proven that is not the case. Children learn and grow based on their
biological properties and their environment.
Child development is studied so that parents, clinicians, teachers, and
others have a better understanding of how a child changes as they
grow and how to support those changes in a positive way. Questions
surrounding what drives development, how much influence does
environment have on development, what makes children different
from one another along with what stages of development trigger what
types of changes and many others, are theorized in the study of child
development. Insights into why children behave in certain ways,

social developments that occur during a child’s life. Infants aren’t
born knowing how to walk, talk or emote. Child development is the
study that shows how infants get from crying based on instinctual
needs to children that can walk, communicate, and show a full range
of emotions. In the early 20th century, it was believed that children
were born with inherent adult processes that were dormant until
triggered (Cole et al., 2018). Child development theorists have since
proven that is not the case. Children learn and grow based on their
biological properties and their environment.
Child development is studied so that parents, clinicians, teachers, and
others have a better understanding of how a child changes as they
grow and how to support those changes in a positive way. Questions
surrounding what drives development, how much influence does
environment have on development, what makes children different
from one another along with what stages of development trigger what
types of changes and many others, are theorized in the study of child
development. Insights into why children behave in certain ways,
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
abnormal behavior, motivation, cultural understanding, and many
other questions are studied. The answers or hypotheses to all are
important in learning how children develop and how they eventually
learn to be adults.
The theory of child development that most interests me is Bandura’s
social learning theory. Social learning theory posits that personality
traits and behaviors are learned by observation of those in our
environment. It breaks from the idea that all behaviors and traits are
conditioned (Cherry, 2020). Observation can be visual or auditory.
Watching others interact or just listening to them can influence
development.
The concept of modeling or learning behaviors from peers is
interesting to me. Children learn new skills and behaviors from those
around them. They take these new behaviors and incorporate them
into their own live and test out the consequences associated with them.
Bandura’s concept of modeling lends a lot to the development of
gender roles (Cole et al., 2018). Behavior modification is also
something that I find intriguing and dangerous if used by those with
bad intentions. Bandura and his colleagues believed that personality
traits are learned from observation of those around us and therefore
could be unlearned (Cole et al., 2018). This idea has potential in many
different aspects of development like fear avoidance, aggression etc.
The application of behavior modification could be invaluable to
understanding and reversing abnormal and unwanted traits.
Child development was widely ignored until the late 20th century
when theorists began to question if children really were tiny adults.
The desire to understand how they function, and change led to a
burgeoning field of study that has shaped how children are viewed and
how they are raised. It is important to understand the developmental
stages associated with children so that they can be given the
opportunity to learn and grow in environments that will feed their
development. Understanding how children develop helps create more
well-rounded adults.

Child development was widely ignored until the late 20th century
when theorists began to question if children really were tiny adults.
The desire to understand how they function, and change led to a
burgeoning field of study that has shaped how children are viewed and
how they are raised. It is important to understand the developmental
stages associated with children so that they can be given the
opportunity to learn and grow in environments that will feed their
development. Understanding how children develop helps create more
well-rounded adults.
Child development is the sequence of changes or stages that occur in a
child’s life starting at birth until maturity (Cole et al., 2018). These
changes include the physical, cognitive, emotional, language and
social developments that occur during a child’s life. Infants aren’t
born knowing how to walk, talk or emote. Child development is the
study that shows how infants get from crying based on instinctual
needs to children that can walk, communicate, and show a full range
of emotions. In the early 20th century, it was believed that children
were born with inherent adult processes that were dormant until
triggered (Cole et al., 2018). Child development theorists have since
proven that is not the case. Children learn and grow based on their
biological properties and their environment.
Child development is studied so that parents, clinicians, teachers, and
others have a better understanding of how a child changes as they
grow and how to support those changes in a positive way. Questions
surrounding what drives development, how much influence does
environment have on development, what makes children different
from one another along with what stages of development trigger what
types of changes and many others, are theorized in the study of child
development. Insights into why children behave in certain ways,
abnormal behavior, motivation, cultural understanding, and many
other questions are studied. The answers or hypotheses to all are
important in learning how children develop and how they eventually
learn to be adults.
The theory of child development that most interests me is Bandura’s
social learning theory. Social learning theory posits that personality
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
traits and behaviors are learned by observation of those in our
environment. It breaks from the idea that all behaviors and traits are
conditioned (Cherry, 2020). Observation can be visual or auditory.
Watching others interact or just listening to them can influence
development.
The concept of modeling or learning behaviors from peers is
interesting to me. Children learn new skills and behaviors from those
around them. They take these new behaviors and incorporate them
into their own live and test out the consequences associated with them.
Bandura’s concept of modeling lends a lot to the development of
gender roles (Cole et al., 2018). Behavior modification is also
something that I find intriguing and dangerous if used by those with
bad intentions. Bandura and his colleagues believed that personality
traits are learned from observation of those around us and therefore
could be unlearned (Cole et al., 2018). This idea has potential in many

The theory of child development that most interests me is Bandura’s
social learning theory. Social learning theory posits that personality
traits and behaviors are learned by observation of those in our
environment. It breaks from the idea that all behaviors and traits are
conditioned (Cherry, 2020). Observation can be visual or auditory.
Watching others interact or just listening to them can influence
development.
The concept of modeling or learning behaviors from peers is
interesting to me. Children learn new skills and behaviors from those
around them. They take these new behaviors and incorporate them
into their own live and test out the consequences associated with them.
Bandura’s concept of modeling lends a lot to the development of
gender roles (Cole et al., 2018). Behavior modification is also
something that I find intriguing and dangerous if used by those with
bad intentions. Bandura and his colleagues believed that personality
traits are learned from observation of those around us and therefore
could be unlearned (Cole et al., 2018). This idea has potential in many
different aspects of development like fear avoidance, aggression etc.
The application of behavior modification could be invaluable to
understanding and reversing abnormal and unwanted traits.
Child development was widely ignored until the late 20th century
when theorists began to question if children really were tiny adults.
The desire to understand how they function, and change led to a
burgeoning field of study that has shaped how children are viewed and
how they are raised. It is important to understand the developmental
stages associated with children so that they can be given the
opportunity to learn and grow in environments that will feed their
development. Understanding how children develop helps create more
well-rounded adults.

Child development is the sequence of changes or stages that occur in a
child’s life starting at birth until maturity (Cole et al., 2018). These
changes include the physical, cognitive, emotional, language and
social developments that occur during a child’s life. Infants aren’t
born knowing how to walk, talk or emote. Child development is the
study that shows how infants get from crying based on instinctual
needs to children that can walk, communicate, and show a full range
of emotions. In the early 20th century, it was believed that children
were born with inherent adult processes that were dormant until
triggered (Cole et al., 2018). Child development theorists have since
proven that is not the case. Children learn and grow based on their
biological properties and their environment.
Child development is studied so that parents, clinicians, teachers, and
others have a better understanding of how a child changes as they
grow and how to support those changes in a positive way. Questions
surrounding what drives development, how much influence does
environment have on development, what makes children different
from one another along with what stages of development trigger what
types of changes and many others, are theorized in the study of child
development. Insights into why children behave in certain ways,
abnormal behavior, motivation, cultural understanding, and many
other questions are studied. The answers or hypotheses to all are
important in learning how children develop and how they eventually
learn to be adults.

triggered (Cole et al., 2018). Child development theorists have since
proven that is not the case. Children learn and grow based on their
biological properties and their environment.
Child development is studied so that parents, clinicians, teachers, and
others have a better understanding of how a child changes as they
grow and how to support those changes in a positive way. Questions
surrounding what drives development, how much influence does
environment have on development, what makes children different
from one another along with what stages of development trigger what
types of changes and many others, are theorized in the study of child
development. Insights into why children behave in certain ways,
abnormal behavior, motivation, cultural understanding, and many
other questions are studied. The answers or hypotheses to all are
important in learning how children develop and how they eventually
learn to be adults.

The theory of child development that most interests me is Bandura’s
social learning theory. Social learning theory posits that personality
traits and behaviors are learned by observation of those in our
environment. It breaks from the idea that all behaviors and traits are
conditioned (Cherry, 2020). Observation can be visual or auditory.
Watching others interact or just listening to them can influence
development.
The concept of modeling or learning behaviors from peers is
interesting to me. Children learn new skills and behaviors from those
around them. They take these new behaviors and incorporate them
into their own live and test out the consequences associated with them.
Bandura’s concept of modeling lends a lot to the development of
gender roles (Cole et al., 2018). Behavior modification is also
something that I find intriguing and dangerous if used by those with
bad intentions. Bandura and his colleagues believed that personality
traits are learned from observation of those around us and therefore
could be unlearned (Cole et al., 2018). This idea has potential in many
different aspects of development like fear avoidance, aggression etc.
The application of behavior modification could be invaluable to
understanding and reversing abnormal and unwanted traits.
Child development was widely ignored until the late 20th century
when theorists began to question if children really were tiny adults.
The desire to understand how they function, and change led to a
burgeoning field of study that has shaped how children are viewed and
how they are raised. It is important to understand the developmental
stages associated with children so that they can be given the
opportunity to learn and grow in environments that will feed their
development. Understanding how children develop helps create more
well-rounded adults.
Child development is the sequence of changes or stages that occur in a
child’s life starting at birth until maturity (Cole et al., 2018). These
changes include the physical, cognitive, emotional, language and
social developments that occur during a child’s life. Infants aren’t
born knowing how to walk, talk or emote. Child development is the
study that shows how infants get from crying based on instinctual
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
needs to children that can walk, communicate, and show a full range
of emotions. In the early 20th century, it was believed that children
were born with inherent adult processes that were dormant until

burgeoning field of study that has shaped how children are viewed and
how they are raised. It is important to understand the developmental
stages associated with children so that they can be given the
opportunity to learn and grow in environments that will feed their
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
development. Understanding how children develop helps create more
well-rounded adults.
Child development is the sequence of changes or stages that occur in a
child’s life starting at birth until maturity (Cole et al., 2018). These
changes include the physical, cognitive, emotional, language and
social developments that occur during a child’s life. Infants aren’t
born knowing how to walk, talk or emote. Child development is the
study that shows how infants get from crying based on instinctual
needs to children that can walk, communicate, and show a full range
of emotions. In the early 20th century, it was believed that children
were born with inherent adult processes that were dormant until
triggered (Cole et al., 2018). Child development theorists have since
proven that is not the case. Children learn and grow based on their
biological properties and their environment.
Child development is studied so that parents, clinicians, teachers, and
others have a better understanding of how a child changes as they
grow and how to support those changes in a positive way. Questions
surrounding what drives development, how much influence does
environment have on development, what makes children different
from one another along with what stages of development trigger what
types of changes and many others, are theorized in the study of child
development. Insights into why children behave in certain ways,
abnormal behavior, motivation, cultural understanding, and many
other questions are studied. The answers or hypotheses to all are
important in learning how children develop and how they eventually
learn to be adults.
The theory of child development that most interests me is Bandura’s
social learning theory. Social learning theory posits that personality
traits and behaviors are learned by observation of those in our
environment. It breaks from the idea that all behaviors and traits are
conditioned (Cherry, 2020). Observation can be visual or auditory.
Watching others interact or just listening to them can influence
development.
The concept of modeling or learning behaviors from peers is
interesting to me. Children learn new skills and behaviors from those
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
around them. They take these new behaviors and incorporate them
into their own live and test out the consequences associated with them.
Bandura’s concept of modeling lends a lot to the development of
gender roles (Cole et al., 2018). Behavior modification is also
something that I find intriguing and dangerous if used by those with
bad intentions. Bandura and his colleagues believed that personality
traits are learned from observation of those around us and therefore
could be unlearned (Cole et al., 2018). This idea has potential in many
different aspects of development like fear avoidance, aggression etc.
The application of behavior modification could be invaluable to
understanding and reversing abnormal and unwanted traits.

The concept of modeling or learning behaviors from peers is
interesting to me. Children learn new skills and behaviors from those
around them. They take these new behaviors and incorporate them
into their own live and test out the consequences associated with them.
Bandura’s concept of modeling lends a lot to the development of
gender roles (Cole et al., 2018). Behavior modification is also
something that I find intriguing and dangerous if used by those with
bad intentions. Bandura and his colleagues believed that personality
traits are learned from observation of those around us and therefore
could be unlearned (Cole et al., 2018). This idea has potential in many
different aspects of development like fear avoidance, aggression etc.
The application of behavior modification could be invaluable to
understanding and reversing abnormal and unwanted traits.
Child development was widely ignored until the late 20th century
when theorists began to question if children really were tiny adults.
The desire to understand how they function, and change led to a
burgeoning field of study that has shaped how children are viewed and
how they are raised. It is important to understand the developmental
stages associated with children so that they can be given the
opportunity to learn and grow in environments that will feed their
development. Understanding how children develop helps create more
well-rounded adults.
Child development is the sequence of changes or stages that occur in a
child’s life starting at birth until maturity (Cole et al., 2018). These
changes include the physical, cognitive, emotional, language and
social developments that occur during a child’s life. Infants aren’t
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
born knowing how to walk, talk or emote. Child development is the
study that shows how infants get from crying based on instinctual
needs to children that can walk, communicate, and show a full range
of emotions. In the early 20th century, it was believed that children
were born with inherent adult processes that were dormant until
triggered (Cole et al., 2018). Child development theorists have since
proven that is not the case. Children learn and grow based on their
biological properties and their environment.
Child development is studied so that parents, clinicians, teachers, and
others have a better understanding of how a child changes as they
grow and how to support those changes in a positive way. Questions
surrounding what drives development, how much influence does
environment have on development, what makes children different
from one another along with what stages of development trigger what
types of changes and many others, are theorized in the study of child
development. Insights into why children behave in certain ways,
abnormal behavior, motivation, cultural understanding, and many
other questions are studied. The answers or hypotheses to all are
important in learning how children develop and how they eventually
learn to be adults.
The theory of child development that most interests me is Bandura’s
social learning theory. Social learning theory posits that personality
traits and behaviors are learned by observation of those in our
environment. It breaks from the idea that all behaviors and traits are
conditioned (Cherry, 2020). Observation can be visual or auditory.
Watching others interact or just listening to them can influence
development.

surrounding what drives development, how much influence does
environment have on development, what makes children different
from one another along with what stages of development trigger what
types of changes and many others, are theorized in the study of child
development. Insights into why children behave in certain ways,
abnormal behavior, motivation, cultural understanding, and many
other questions are studied. The answers or hypotheses to all are
important in learning how children develop and how they eventually
learn to be adults.
The theory of child development that most interests me is Bandura’s
social learning theory. Social learning theory posits that personality
traits and behaviors are learned by observation of those in our
environment. It breaks from the idea that all behaviors and traits are
conditioned (Cherry, 2020). Observation can be visual or auditory.
Watching others interact or just listening to them can influence
development.

The concept of modeling or learning behaviors from peers is
interesting to me. Children learn new skills and behaviors from those
around them. They take these new behaviors and incorporate them
into their own live and test out the consequences associated with them.
Bandura’s concept of modeling lends a lot to the development of
gender roles (Cole et al., 2018). Behavior modification is also
something that I find intriguing and dangerous if used by those with
bad intentions. Bandura and his colleagues believed that personality
traits are learned from observation of those around us and therefore
could be unlearned (Cole et al., 2018). This idea has potential in many
different aspects of development like fear avoidance, aggression etc.
The application of behavior modification could be invaluable to
understanding and reversing abnormal and unwanted traits.
Child development was widely ignored until the late 20th century
when theorists began to question if children really were tiny adults.
The desire to understand how they function, and change led to a
burgeoning field of study that has shaped how children are viewed and
how they are raised. It is important to understand the developmental
stages associated with children so that they can be given the
opportunity to learn and grow in environments that will feed their
development. Understanding how children develop helps create more
well-rounded adults.
Child development is the sequence of changes or stages that occur in a
child’s life starting at birth until maturity (Cole et al., 2018). These
changes include the physical, cognitive, emotional, language and
social developments that occur during a child’s life. Infants aren’t
born knowing how to walk, talk or emote. Child development is the
study that shows how infants get from crying based on instinctual
needs to children that can walk, communicate, and show a full range
of emotions. In the early 20th century, it was believed that children
were born with inherent adult processes that were dormant until
triggered (Cole et al., 2018). Child development theorists have since
proven that is not the case. Children learn and grow based on their
biological properties and their environment.

child’s life starting at birth until maturity (Cole et al., 2018). These
changes include the physical, cognitive, emotional, language and
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
social developments that occur during a child’s life. Infants aren’t
born knowing how to walk, talk or emote. Child development is the
study that shows how infants get from crying based on instinctual
needs to children that can walk, communicate, and show a full range
of emotions. In the early 20th century, it was believed that children
were born with inherent adult processes that were dormant until
triggered (Cole et al., 2018). Child development theorists have since
proven that is not the case. Children learn and grow based on their
biological properties and their environment.
Child development is studied so that parents, clinicians, teachers, and
others have a better understanding of how a child changes as they
grow and how to support those changes in a positive way. Questions
surrounding what drives development, how much influence does
environment have on development, what makes children different
from one another along with what stages of development trigger what
types of changes and many others, are theorized in the study of child
development. Insights into why children behave in certain ways,
abnormal behavior, motivation, cultural understanding, and many
other questions are studied. The answers or hypotheses to all are
important in learning how children develop and how they eventually
learn to be adults.
The theory of child development that most interests me is Bandura’s
social learning theory. Social learning theory posits that personality
traits and behaviors are learned by observation of those in our
environment. It breaks from the idea that all behaviors and traits are
conditioned (Cherry, 2020). Observation can be visual or auditory.
Watching others interact or just listening to them can influence
development.
The concept of modeling or learning behaviors from peers is
interesting to me. Children learn new skills and behaviors from those
around them. They take these new behaviors and incorporate them
into their own live and test out the consequences associated with them.
Bandura’s concept of modeling lends a lot to the development of
gender roles (Cole et al., 2018). Behavior modification is also
something that I find intriguing and dangerous if used by those with
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
bad intentions. Bandura and his colleagues believed that personality
traits are learned from observation of those around us and therefore
could be unlearned (Cole et al., 2018). This idea has potential in many
different aspects of development like fear avoidance, aggression etc.
The application of behavior modification could be invaluable to
understanding and reversing abnormal and unwanted traits.
Child development was widely ignored until the late 20th century
when theorists began to question if children really were tiny adults.
The desire to understand how they function, and change led to a
burgeoning field of study that has shaped how children are viewed and
how they are raised. It is important to understand the developmental
stages associated with children so that they can be given the
opportunity to learn and grow in environments that will feed their
development. Understanding how children develop helps create more
well-rounded adults.
