Development: GCSE Psychology

Описание: In this GCSE Psychology Development video, we’re exploring how our brains and thinking abilities grow from infancy all the way through to adolescence. We’ll cover early brain development and see how key structures like the brain stem, thalamus, cerebellum, and cortex mature over time, shaping everything from our reflexes to our decision-making skills.

Next, we’ll dive into Piaget’s stage theory, looking at how children move from the sensorimotor stage to formal operations. We’ll also explore concepts of assimilation and accommodation, plus real-life applications of Piaget’s ideas in education. Finally, we’ll cover Dweck’s Mindset Theory of learning, differences between fixed and growth mindsets, and the role of praise and self-efficacy in boosting academic performance.
