For each stage, there can be two extremes in psychological reaction - either doing too much or not enough of what is ideal. 3. An adult character type: in the first three stages this adult character type is one that is related to being fixated or stuck at that stage. If a person doesn't resolve the psychological issues that arise at that stage they will always have problems relating to those issues.

INTERVENTION: Four types of Mental Health Model consultation

1. Client centered case consultation 2. Program centered administrative consultation 3. Consultee case-centered consultation 4. Consultee centered administrative consultation 1. CLIENT CENTERED CASE CONSULTATION: The consultant functions as a specialist who assesses the client, makes a diagnosis, and makes recommendations as to how the consultee (often a teacher) might modify his or her dealings with the client (often a student). Focuses on developing a plan that will help a specific client. The primary goal is to advise the consultee regarding treatment and to develop a plan to deal with the client's difficulties. Usually the consultant meets with the consultee's client to help diagnose a problem. The consultant is responsible for assessing problem and prescribing course of action. Implementation of the consultant's recommendations is the responsibility of the consultee 2. PROGRAM CENTERED ADMINISTRATIVE CONSULTATION: This is similar to client-centered case consultation because the consultant is viewed as a specialist who is called in to study a problem and provide a set of recommendations for dealing with a problem Difference - The consultant is concerned with problems surrounding the development of a new program or some aspect of organizational functioning. Usually very rapid-paced and over quickly 3. CONSULTEE-CASE CENTERED CONSULTATION: This type of consultation is most closely identified with Caplan. Like the client-centered consultation, this is concerned with difficulties a consultee encounters with a particular client for whom he or she has responsibility. Primary goal is to remediate the shortcomings in the consultee's professional functioning that are responsible for difficulties, with client improvement a secondary goal. Thus, there is little or no direct assessment of the client CONSULTEE CENTERED ADMINISTRATIVE CONSULTATION: Goal is to improve the professional functioning of members of an administrative staff. The consultant agrees to work with the organization on a long-term basis.

They have a lack of object permanence, which means they have little or not ability to conceive things as existing outside their immediate vicinity. For example. When you place a barrier, such as a piece of wood in front of an object an infant will believe that the object is non existent. During the early stages, infants are only aware of what is immediately in front of them. They focus on what they see, what they are doing, and physical interactions with their immediate environment. -Develops object permanence, the idea that an object exists even when out of sight. -Begins to imitate others. -Child will move from reflex-only actions to goal directed actions. -Child can do reverse actions, but cannot think in reverse. -Most learning is done through the senses.

THEORY: ERIK Erickson's 8 Stages

American developmental psychologist and psychoanalyst (1902-1994) known for his theory on psychosocial development of human beings. Psycho-social theory. All people pass through stages of development; each stage has a unique developmental task or crisis that must be faced. STAGE 1. Trust vs. mistrust (Birth to 12-18 months) STAGE 2. Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (12-18 months to 3 years) STAGE 3. Initiative vs. Guilt (3 years to 5-6 years STAGE 4. Industry vs. Inferiority (5-6 years to adolescence) STAGE 5. Identity vs. role diffusion (Adolescence) STAGE 6. Intimacy vs. Isolation (Early adulthood) STAGE 7. Generativity vs. Stagnation (Middle adulthood) STAGE 8. Ego-Integrity vs. Despair (Late adulthood) According to Erik Erikson's Eight Ages of Man individuals develop in eight epigenetic stages. Each stage is marked by a major conflict. Resolving the conflict becomes the major task of each stage. Resolution of each stage, however, is different for every individual. Erikson believes that it is important to find a favorable balance between the two conflicting factors in each stage. If a stage is managed well, we carry away a certain virtue or psychosocial strength which will help us through the rest of the stages in our lives. On the other hand, if we do not do so well, we may develop maladaptations and malignancies, as well as endanger all our future development.

THEORY: Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Approach

Belief that we cannot fully understand development without considering how a person fits into each of these levels: microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, and macrosystem. MICROSYSTEM: the people and objects in an individual's immediate environment. Everyday immediate environment; homes, caregivers, friends, and teachers MESOSYSTEM: Is made up of the interrelationships between the major settings in which the person participates in (eg. between family members and between family members and school personnel). Connections between various aspects of the system; binds children to parents, students to teachers, employees to bosses, neighbors, child-care centers, play groups EXOSYSTEM involves links between a social setting in which the individual does not have an active role and the individual's immediate context. For example, a parent's or child's experience at home may be influenced by the other parent's experiences at work. The parent might receive a promotion that requires more travel, which might increase conflict with the other parent and change patterns of interaction with the child. (Social settings even though you are not directly involved.) social settings that a person may not experience firsthand but that still influence development. Societal institutions (government, community, schools, place of worship, and local media) MACROSYSTEM: Types of government, society in general, religious system, political thought, and other broad factors. consists of cultural values, laws, customs, and resources

THEORY: Carl Rogers

Believed that all people have a need for positive regard that results from an underlying wish to be loved and respected.

THEORY FREUD: Id

Freud - needs and urges

COUNSELING: Psychoanalytic Counseling

Freud's theory based on early life experiences of an individual. Unconscious motives & conflicts drive behavior. The goal is to make one aware of their unconscious desires.

THEORY FREUD STAGE 1: Oral stage: Birth - 18 months (approx.)

From birth to 1 year: the infant develops a sense of trust and comfort through his oral stimulation. Physical focus: mouth, lips tongue (sucking). Sucking is the primary source of pleasure for a newborn. Everything goes in the mouth. Sucking = food. Psychological theme: dependency. A baby is very dependent and can do little for itself. If babies needs properly fulfilled can move onto the next stage. But if not fulfilled baby will be mistrustful or over-fulfilled baby will find it hard to cope with a world that doesn't meet all of his/her demands. Adult character: highly dependent/highly independent. If baby becomes fixated at this stage Freud felt that he or she would grow to be an oral character. Mostly these people are extremely dependent and passive people who want everything done for them. However Freud also suggests that another type of oral character is the person who is highly independent and that when under stress the orally fixated person may flip from one type to the other. This exemplifies Freud's doctrine of opposites.

THEORY Carol Gilligan Level 2

Goodness as Self-Sacrifice This stage involves considering the needs of others over one's own needs. Good acts are defined as those that are done in sacrifice for the benefit of others. Women at this stage are largely defined by or dependent upon what others believe about them. Conflict may occur between taking responsibility for the self and pressure from peers or others in making decisions. During this time, women begin to examine their contexts with increasing levels of objectivity. The truth of her personhood emerges. She moves away from dependency upon others to draw guidance for her decisions and actions. The perspective shifts to one of taking account of all concerned, including the self, in making decisions. She balances well-being from this larger perspective, not just motivated by approval. Personal survival returns, but it does so in a more objective framework and in a larger, healthier context.

THEORY:JEAN Piaget theory

His view of how children's minds work and develop has been enormously influential, particularly in educational theory. His particular insight was the role of maturation (simply growing up) in children's increasing capacity to understand their world: they cannot undertake certain tasks until they are psychologically mature enough to do so. His research has spawned a great deal more, much of which has undermined the detail of his own, but like many other original investigators, his importance comes from his overall vision. He proposed that children's thinking does not develop entirely smoothly: instead, there are certain points at which it "takes off" and moves into completely new areas and capabilities. He saw these transitions as taking place at about 18 months, 7 years and 11 or 12 years. This has been taken to mean that before these ages children are not capable (no matter how bright) of understanding things in certain ways, and has been used as the basis for scheduling the school curriculum. Whether or not should be the case is a different matter.

ASSESSMENT: Criterion-Related Validity

DISORDER: INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY

Intellectual disability (intellectual developmental disorder) is a disorder with onset during the developmental period that includes both intellectual and adaptive functioning deficits in conceptual, social and practical domains. The following three criteria must be met: 1, Deficits in intellectual functions, such as reasoning, problem solving, planning, abstract thinking, judgment, academic learning, and learning from experience, confirmed by both clinical assessment and individualized, standardized intelligence testing. IQ score 70 or below. 2. Deficits in adaptive functioning that result in failure to meet developmental and socio-cultural standards for personal independence and social responsibility. Without ongoing support, the adaptive deficits limit functioning in one or more activities of daily life, such as communication, social participation, and independent living, across multiple environments, such as home, school, work and community. 3. Onset of intellectual and adaptive deficits during the developmental period.

THEORY JEAN PIAGET STAGE 3: Concrete Operations (7 to 11 years)

Intelligence is now both symbolic and logical. Acquires 'operations' = a set of general rules and strategies. The most critical part of operations is realizing 'reversibility' = both physical and mental processes can be reversed and cancelled out by others.The concrete operational child will overcome the aspects of rigidity apparent in a preoperational child. These are:lack of reversibility states appearance conservation. The tasks of concrete operations are: Seriation - putting items (such as toys) in height order. Classification - the difference between two similar items such as daisies and roses. Conservation - realising something can have same properties, even if it appears differently.It is important to realize that operations and conservations don't develop at the same time. They develop gradually and are not an 'all or nothing' phenomenon. For example, the first to develop is number conservation followed by mass conservation, area conservation, liquid conservation and finally solid volume conservation.Thinking is not abstract. It is limited to concrete phenomena and the child's own past experiences. At this time, elementary-age and preadolescent children demonstrate logical, concrete reasoning. Children's thinking becomes less egocentric and they are increasingly aware of external events. They begin to realize that one's own thoughts and feelings are unique and may not be shared by others or may not even be part of reality. -Can think logically about concrete problems. -Understands law of conservation, the idea that characteristics of an object can stay the same despite changes in the object's appearance. -Classify, seriate, and reverse thinking Seriate: putting objects in a sequential order. -Reverse thinking to help solve conservation problems -Understands past, present, and future.

ETHICS-What services do not ethically require informed parent consent.

It is ethically permissible to provide school- based consultation services regarding a child or adolescent to a student assistance team or teacher without informed parent consent as long as the resulting interventions are under the authority of the teacher and within the scope of typical classroom interventions. Parent consent is not ethically required for a school- based school psychologist to review a student's educational records, conduct classroom observations, assist in within-classroom interventions and progress monitoring, or to participate in educational screenings conducted as part of a regular program of instruction. In emergency situations or if there is reason to believe a student may pose a danger to others; is at risk for self-harm; or is in danger of injury, exploitation, or maltreatment

Kohlberg's first stage of preconventional reasoning in which moral thinking is tied to punishment.

THERAPY: consultee-centered case consultation

Like the client-centered consultation, this is concerned with difficulties a consultee encounters with a particular client for whom he or she has responsibility. Primary goal is to remediate the shortcomings in the consultee's professional functioning that are responsible for difficulties, with client improvement a secondary goal. Thus, there is little or no direct assessment of the client. Sources of consultee difficulty include: lack of knowledge; lack of skill; lack of confidence; lack of objectivity Principle methods that the consultant may use: verbal focus on the client; parables; nonverbal focus on the client; nonverbal focus on the consultation relationship

THEORY Carol Gilligan Level 3

Morality of Nonviolent Responsibility This principle of nonviolence is inclusive of both self and others. Gilligan proposed women think in greater terms of repercussions stemming from their actions and from the decisions that impact themselves and others. At this level, the individual's concern moves past what others think, giving little or no thought for how others will perceive her judgments, actions and choices. At this stage, she accepts full responsibility for her elected decisions and judgments made, accepting them as her own, independent of others. She progresses to equality with others and weighs the array of consequences and opportunities that may arise from any potential action or decision then accepts the fact of her responsibility for the outcomes. The key element in this level is minimizing hurt, to the extent possible, to self and others, with full responsibility and acceptance.

THEORY: Freud's Psychosexual Stages of Development:

Oral, Anal, Phallic, Latency, Genital A newborn baby, according to Freud, is bubbling with energy (libido; psychic energy). However, this energy is without focus or direction, which would not allow for survival. How, then, does the child develop the ability to control and direct his/her energy? Psychic energy is an important concept in Freudian psychology. The structure of the mind and development all revolve around how the individual attempts to deal with psychic energy. Raw libinal impulses provide the basic fuel that the mind runs on. But the vehicle (mind) needs to well-formed and well-tuned in order to get maximum energy.In order to understand development (and neuroses), then, we should "follow the energy" and see where it goes. As with physical energy, psychic energy cannot be created or destroyed in a big picture sense, however it may be dealt with in non-obvious ways.So, where does the infant's, then the child's, the adolescent's, and adult's energy get focused? Freud believed that as development occurs the baby begins to focus on first one object then another. As the infant's focus shifts the style and type of gratification being sought changes.

THEORY: Carol Gilligan Level 1

Orientation to Personal Survival Gilligan described this level as one oriented toward a woman's individual self-survival. The well-being of others, regardless of need, is considered of little priority. Rather, importance is placed on what is best, most practical and most logical for her. Personal Selfishness to Responsibility Toward Others. The first transition moves beyond the self. At this time, a woman comes to realize she has responsibilities not only for herself, but also for others which includes responsibility for the unborn. Gilligan specified that women begin to acknowledge that choices impact people beyond the self.

DISORDERS: Personality Disorders, Cluster A

LAW-CONSENT What services do require informed parent consent.

Parent consent is required if the consultation about a particular child or adolescent is likely to be extensive and ongoing and/or if school actions may result in a significant intrusion on student or family privacy beyond what might be expected in the course of ordinary school activities. Parents must be notified prior to the administration of school- or classroom-wide screenings for mental health problems and given the opportunity to remove their child or adolescent from participation in such screenings.

DISORDER: Social Communication Disorder DSM-5

Persistent difficulties in the social use of verbal and nonverbal communication as manifest by deficits in the following: 1) Using communication for social purposes, such as greeting and sharing information, in a manner that is appropriate for the social context; 2) Changing communication to match context or the needs of the listener, such as speaking differently in a classroom than on a playground, communicating differently to a child than to an adult, and avoiding use of overly formal language. 3) Following rules for conversation and storytelling, such as taking turns in conversation,rephrasing when misunderstood, and knowing how to use verbal and nonverbal signals to regulate interaction; 4) Understanding what is not explicitly stated (e.g. inferencing) and nonliteral or ambiguous meanings of language, for example, idioms, jokes, metaphors and multiple meanings that depend on the context for interpretation. B. Deficits result in functional limitations in effective communication, social participation, social relationships, academic achievement, or occupational performance. C. Onset in the early developmental period (but deficits may not become fully manifest until social communication demands exceed limited capacities). D. Deficits are not better explained by low abilities in the domains of word structure and grammar, or by intellectual disability, global developmental delay, Autism Spectrum Disorder, or another mental or neurologic disorder.

Conventional judgment is based on others' approval, laws of society, etc. Stage 3: good boy-nice girl orientation: good=nice (what pleases others) Stage 4: law and order orientation: laws are absolute respect authority even without reason. POSTCONVENTIONAL: judgment is based on individual conscience. Stage 5: social contract orientation: good=socially agreed-upon standards of individual rights. Stage 6: universal ethical principle orientation: abstract concepts of justice, equality, and human dignity.

THEORY JEAN PIAGET STAGE 2: Preoperational Stage (2 to 7 years)

Preoperational intelligence means the young child is capable of mental representations, but does not have a system for organizing this thinking (intuitive rather than logical thought). The child is egocentric - which is they have problems distinguishing from their own perceptions and perceptions of others. A classic example is, a preoperational child will cover their eyes so they can't see someone and think that that person can't see them either. A classic example is, a preoperational child will cover their eyes so they can't see someone and think that that person can't see them either. The child also has ridged thinking, which involves the following. Centration - a child will become completely fixed on one point, not allowing them to see the wider picture. For example, focusing only on the height of the container rather than both the height and width when determining what has the biggest volume.State - can only concentrate on what something looks like at that time. Appearance - focuses on how something appears rather than reality. Lack of Reversibility - can't reverse the steps they have taken. Doesn't realize that one set of steps can be cancelled by another set of steps. Lack of Conservation - realizing that something can have the same properties even if it appears differently. During this stage, young children are able to think about things symbolically. Their language use becomes more mature. They also develop memory and imagination, which allows them to understand the difference between past and future, and engage in make-believe. -Use of language and symbolic thought. -Has difficulty seeing another's point of view. (egocentrism) -Difficulty with past and future thinking. -Thinks through operations logically in one direction. -Operations: the ability to think out an action without performing it.

LAW-Public Law 105-17

Revision was necessary due to a continual inappropriate labeling & identification of students with disabilities within the public education system. Many minority children were being mislabeled as students with disabilities, thus resulting in a highly disproportionate number of minority children in special education services. Specifically, this act stated that a child could not be identified as having a disability solely on insufficient instruction in reading, math, or English proficiency.

THEORY: Lev Vygotsky SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT

Russian developmental psychologist (1896-1934) emphasized the role of the social environment on cognitive development and proposed the idea of zones of proximal development. Vygotsky's Theory Social Development Theory; social learning precedes development. Cognitive growth is viewed as socially mediated activity, and knowledge is constructed through interactions with "more-skilled" people and objects in culture. Cognitive development results from this dialectical process. Theories of cognitive development in which he explored the importance of culture, language development, and the use of cognitive apprenticeships in the classroom. Vygotsky's Elementary Mental Functions 1. Attention 2. Sensation 3. Perception 4. Memory

THEORY: ROBERT STERNBERG Triarchic theory of intelligence

STERNBERG THEORY OF intelligence The theory by itself was groundbreaking in that it was among One of Sternberg's very succinct definitions of intelligence states: "Intelligent behavior involves adapting to your environment, changing your environment, or selecting a better environment." the first to go against the psychometric approach to intelligence and take a more cognitive approach. The theory includes the analytical, creative and practical subtheories. Metacomponent subtheories: 1. Componential intelligence (later know as analytical intelligence) This is the traditional notion of intelligence and includes: Abstract thinking & logical reasoning Verbal & mathematical skills 2. Experiential intelligence (later know as creative intelligence) This is creative thinking which uses: Divergent thinking (generating new ideas) Ability to deal with novel situations. Sternberg splits the role of experience into two parts: novelty and automation. 3. Contextual intelligence (later know as practical intelligence) This could be termed "street smarts" and embraces. Ability to apply knowledge to the real world. Ability to shape one's environment; choose an environment. Through the three processes of adaptation, shaping, and selection, individuals create an ideal fit between themselves and their environment. This type of intelligence is often referred to as "street smarts."

ETHICS NASP: IV.3 Maintaining Public Trust by Self-Monitoring and Peer Monitoring

School psychs accept responsibility to monitor their own conduct and the conduct of other school psychologists to ensure it conforms to ethical standards. Know and apply Principles, consult experienced professionals in diff situations; attempt to solve potential ethical dilemmas seen in others through collegial prob-solving process if possible (if not, take appropriate further action - seek supervisor, state ethics committee, or file formal ethical violation complaint); informal contact made initially to address unethical behavior by non-NASP people

ETHICS NASP: III.2 Forthright Explanation of Professional Services, Roles, & Priorities

School psychs are candid about the nature and scope of their services; explain competencies/roles/assignments/relationships in understandable manner; make reasonable efforts to become integral members of client service systems to which they are assigned; communicate clearly their commitment to protecting rights and welfare of children as highest priority; make known priorities and commitments in advance of potential conflicts of interest when dealing with multiple parties; ensure announcements/ads are factual and professional, do not misrepresent things

ETHICS NASP: IV.2 Respect for Law & the Relationship of Law & Ethics

School psychs are knowledgeable of and respect laws pertinent to the practice of school psych. In choosing an appropriate course of action, they consider the relationship between law and the Principles. Try to work things out when conflicts between ethics and law, but follow law in end (as long as it doesn't violate human rights); bring about change in lawful manner (when acting as private citizens)

ETHICS NASP: III.4 Multiple Relationships & Conflicts of Interest

School psychs avoid multiple relationships and conflicts of interest that diminish their professional effectiveness. Free to pursue personal interests in private life to extent they do not compromise professional effectiveness; do not exploit clients, supervisees, or grad students through professional relationships or condone such activities; disclose financial interest; don't give/receive remuneration for referrals; avoid conflicts from providing services through school and private practice (inform parents of free services available through school; don't offer private practice services (including assessment) to students in district you are assigned; no services to parents/fam members of children in that district; don't use school materials in private practice; do not conduct private practice business during school hours; hold appropriate credentials for private practice)

ETHICS NASP: II.3 Responsible Assessment & Intervention Practices

School psychs maintain highest standard for responsible professional practices in educational and psychological assessment and direct and indirect interventions. Current behavior management/instruction considered prior to consideration of disability label; use responsible, researched-based, reliable/valid assessment methods w/ up to date normative data; psychoed assessment based on a variety of different types of info from variety of sources; assess in all areas of suspected disability; valid/fair assessments considering students background in addition to potential disabilities; appropriate use of interpreters; can make recommendations based on review of records but use representative sample of records and explain limitations of recommendations; adequate interpretation/explanation of findings; use research based interventions and consultation techniques; encourage parental support/participation in designing interventions; discuss plans w/ student

ETHICS NASP: I.2 Privacy & Confidentiality

School psychs respect right of persons to choose for themselves whether to disclose private thoughts, feelings, beliefs, & behaviors. Seek to minimize intrusions on privacy (don't seek/store/share info unnecessary for provision of services); inform clients/parents about boundaries of confidentiality from onset of services; info not released w/out consent (exceptions: harm to self/other, legal obligation); release info only for professional services on need-to-know basis; do not disclose sexual orientation, etc w/out child's consent; respect privacy about sensitive health info

ETHICS: NASP I.1 Autonomy & Self-Determination

School psychs respect right of persons to participate in decisions affecting their own welfare. Encourage parental participation (however not all services require parental consent); seek parental consent unless emergency; consent must be informed; minor's participation should be voluntary to extent feasible (parent/psych have last say if in best interest of child though); regardless of assent, must inform child; respect parent rights to object to services

ETHICS NASP: II.5 Responsible Use of Materials

School psychs respect the intellectual property rights of those who produce tests, intervention materials, scholarly works, & other materials. Maintain test security (parents can view test materials; copies made for qualified professionals upon request); do not promote use of tests/tools by unqualified users; don't duplicate materials (except instances where parents' rights may supersede those of test publishers)

ETHICS NASP: II.4 Responsible School-Based Record Keeping

School psychs safeguard privacy of records and ensure parent access to records of their own children. Discuss rights w/ parents & children; maintain records w/ sufficient detail to aid in decision making/withstand scrutiny; include only documented/relevant info from reliable sources in records; ensure parental access (but not necessarily right to copy things); ensure records not released w/out consent (unless required by law); ensure that those who shouldn't have access don't; although fine to keep "mental notes," any info used for decision making should be accessible to parents; work in collaboration w/ administration, staff to establish district policies regarding record storage/disposal

ETHICS NASP: IV.1 Promoting Healthy School, Family, & Community Environments

School psychs use expertise in psych/ed to promote school, fam, & community environments that are safe and healthy for children. Knowlegable about organization, philosophy, goals, objectives, culture, and methodologies of settings in which they provide services, develop partnerships w/ community service providers to provide seamless services to all; use professional expertise to promote beneficial changes in schools & community service systems, advocate for policies in best interests of children

ASSESSMENT: Problem with high stakes testing

Schools may attempt to inflate overall district scores by placing more children in special education, categorizing more children as limited English proficient, and retaining more students in the early grades

CASE: Debra P. v. Turlington 1983

Schools must prove that they have educated a student sufficiently before they can be given a graduation test. Case law: gave states the right to deny diploma to any student who did not pass state assessment. Can use high-stakes tests for graduation requirements (CAHSEE)

LAW: Rehabilitation Act of 1973 SECTION 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (Pub. L. No. 93-112)

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is a national law that protects qualified individuals from discrimination based on their disability. This prohibits discrimination against any qualified individuals solely on the basis of a handicapping condition. This is a civil rights law & guarantees access to a school building & to a school's curriculum. Regulations require a school district to provide a "free appropriate public education" (FAPE) to each qualified student with a disability who is in the school district's jurisdiction, regardless of the nature or severity of the disability.

Some activities and skills that are useful during this are: * Learn an implement time management skills *Engage regularly in enjoyable activities and hobbies *Establish and maintain meaningful connections with others *Pursue professional development *Monitor physical and psychological health *Seek professional support when needed (Roam the woods and collect flowers... or weeds from the pavement cracks :p)

MEMORY: Automatic Memory

Sometimes called conditioned response memory. Stimuli automatically trigger the memory for information. For example, after you hear a few words of a song you know, you may begin to sing the song. *Contains multiplication tables and decoding skills (but not comprehension skills).

THEORY Erik Erikson's Stage 2 : Autonomy vs. Shame & Doubt Early Childhood - 2 to 3 YEARS

Stage 2 - Autonomy vs. Shame & Doubt Early Childhood - 2 to 3 years. Children need to develop a sense of personal control over physical skills and a sense of independence.

Stage 7 - Generativity vs. Stagnation/Self-Absorption Middle Adulthood - 40 to 65 years. Adults need to create or nurture things that will outlast them, often by having children or creating a positive change that benefits other people. Success leads to feelings of usefulness and accomplishment, while failure results in shallow involvement in the world. -Concern, thoughts, and support for the next generation. -Positive resolution: acts of caring beyond the self -Primary event: parenting -Psychosocial strength: care

THEORY: ROBERT STERNBERG Experiential / Creative Subtheory

Sternberg's 2nd stage of his theory is his experiential subtheory. This stage deals mainly with how well a task is performed with regard to how familiar it is. Sternberg splits the role of experience into two parts: novelty and automation.

THEORY: ROBERT STERNBERG Practical / Contextual Subtheory

Sternberg's third subtheory of intelligence, called practical or contextual, "deals with the mental activity involved in attaining fit to context" (Sternberg, 1985, p. 45). Through the three processes of adaptation, shaping, and selection, individuals create an ideal fit between themselves and their environment. This type of intelligence is often referred to as "street smarts."

BEHAVIOR: Conditioned Stimulus (CS)

Stimulus that starts out neutral. Term for an initially neutral stimulus that comes to elicit a conditioned response after being associated with an unconditioned stimulus

CASE: Larry P. v. Riles (1984)

Supreme court ruled in favor of not using intelligence tests to place African American students in special education classrooms. Case was updated in the 1980s to include speech and language classroom placement. Class action suit on behalf of African American pupils placed in classes for MR. The school district was unable to convince the court that IQ tests were valid for the purpose of placing African American children in MR classes. During the second phase, the judge found that IQ tests were racially and culturally discriminatory. The judge permanently forbid the state from using standardized intelligence tests to identify African American children without permission from the court or for any special education program except state-supported gifted and talented program. Then the judge later ordered that AA children can be given IQ tests with parent consent, although the California State Department of Education continued to prohibit its use.

THEORY: JEAN Piaget

Swiss psychologist (1896-1980) showed that children actively interact with their surroundings to make sense of their world. developmental theory. All children pass through a fixed sequence of stages of cognitive development. There are certain critical development periods during which specific skills and abilities can be most easily learned. Piaget's Stages 1. Sensorimotor (0-2); 2. Preoperational (2-7); 3. Concrete Operational (7-11); 4. Formal Operational (11-15) 1896-1980; Field: cognition; Contributions: created a 4-stage theory of cognitive development, said that two basic processes work in tandem to achieve cognitive growth (assimilation and accommodation). Cognitive Developmental Theory (how the human being thinks)

ASSESSMENT: Single-Case Design

Systematic interventions to study effects with one person, often by applying and then withdrawing a treatment need at least 3 data points if there's a pattern AB: Baseline then intervention 1) Using participants as their own control 2) Repeated measurement 3) Replication 4) One variable is manipulated at a time

ASSESSMENT: Action research

Systematic observations or tests of methods conducted by teachers or schools to improve teaching and learning for their students

INTERVENTION: Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS)

Systematic, tiered model of behavioral supports designed to facilitate supportive school-wide environment that supports all students. Instead of using a patchwork of individual behavioral management plans, a continuum of positive behavior support for all students within a school is implemented in areas including the classroom and nonclassroom settings (such as hallways, restrooms).

THEORY: Semiotic function

The ability to use symbols-language, pictures, signs, or gestures-to represent actions or objects mentally.

ASSESSMENT:Deviation

The amount by which a score differs from some reference value, such as the mean, the norm or the score on another test.

ASSESSMENT: Variable Interval (VI)

The amount of time that must pass before you get. Reinforcement of a response occurs after a variable amount of time has passed. Because the animal or person cannot predict when a reward will come, responding is relatively low but steady.

THERAPY: client-centered case consultation

The consultant acts as a specialist who assesses the client, makes a diagnosis, and makes recommendations as to how the consultee might modify his or her dealings with the client. Focuses on developing a plan that will help a specific client. The primary goal is to advise the consultee regarding treatment and to develop a plan to deal with the client's difficulties. Usually the consultant meets with the client to help diagnose a problem. The consultant is responsible for assessing problem and prescribing course of action. Implementation of the consultant's recommendations is the responsibility of the consultee.

INTERVENTION: Client-centered case consultation

The consultant functions as a specialist who assesses the client, makes a diagnosis, and makes recommendations as to how the consultee (often a teacher) might modify his or her dealings with the client (often a student). Focuses on developing a plan that will help a specific client. The primary goal is to advise the consultee regarding treatment and to develop a plan to deal with the client's difficulties.

ASSESSMENT: External Validity

The extent to which results from one study with generalize to other populations, settings, and so forth

ASSESSMENT: Reliability

The extent to which the measure is consistent. Internal consistency reliability: shown across the items within the measure Test-retest reliability: reliability shown over time when the same test is given on more than one occasion to assess accuracy of learning Interrater Reliability: reliability shown across respondents or raters Alternate-Form Reliability: reliability shown across different forms of the same measure

DISORDER: ANXIETY What is the difference between General Anxiety and OCD Disorder?

The key features of General Anxiety Disorder GAD are a persistent worry about a variety of events and activities and presence of other symptoms such as muscle tension and sleep difficulties. The hallmark of OCD is the presence of specific obsessions and compulsions.

THEORY: What are the differences between Piaget and Vygotsky?

The main difference between Piaget and Vygotsky is that Piaget suggests classroom experiences should focus on already existing cognitive structures within the particular stage the child has reached, while Vygotsky argues that cognitive advances can be made through active learning. Cooperative Learning and Reciprocal Teaching methods have stemmed from Vygotsky's work

THEORY: Piaget v. Vygotsky

The main difference between Piaget and Vygotsky is that Piaget suggests classroom experiences should focus on already existing cognitive structures within the particular stage the child has reached, while Vygotsky argues that cognitive advances can be made through active learning. → Cooperative Learning and Reciprocal Teaching methods have stemmed from Vygotsky's work

MEMORY: Emotional Memory

The most powerful kind of memory. Opened through the amygdala. *The brain always gives priority to emotions- so if your emotional memory takes over, you may lose logic **Emotional memories may cause the release of stress hormones that will "change" your mind

ASSESSMENT: Variable-Ratio (VR) Schedule

The number of times that you must make the response before you are reinforced varies from trial to trial. Reinforcement occurs after some average number of responses, but the number varies from reinforcement to reinforcement. These produce extremely high, steady rates of responding, and the responses are more resistant to extinction (ex. slot machine)

DISORDER: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

The person has been exposed to a traumatic event in which both are present: experienced, witness or was confronted with an event or events that involve actual or threatened death or serious injury; A condition that sometimes develops in the aftermath of a specific stressful, traumatic event. The disorder exceeds 1 month and involves re-occurring memories of the trauma. Other symptoms includes are emotional withdrawal, intrusive memories, emotional numbing, and increased physiological arousal. After a traumatic event, symptoms are intrusive memories, avoiding emotional triggers, emotional numbness, and arousal. the person's response involves intense fear, helplessness, or horror.; recurrent and intrusive distressing recollection of the events, including images, thoughts, or preconceptions.; recurrent distressing dreams of the event; acting or feeling as if the traumatic event was recurring. - Experience fear, terror, sense of helplessness at the traumatic event - Person relives/re-experiences the event, avoids trauma related stimuli - Hyper-arousal, response concentration, irritability, restricted range of affect, dissociation, somatization

ASSESSMENT: Percentile Rank

The relative position of a test score with reference to the scores of the norm group. For example, if a raw score of 42 has a percentile rank of 70%, it means that 70% of the group obtained 42 or less.

THEORY: Social loafing

The tendency for people in a group to exert less effort when pooling their efforts toward attaining a common goal than when individually accountable.Phenomenon in which individuals take less responsibility for working when in the presence of others

THEORY FREUD: Psychoanalytic Theory

Theory developed by Freud consisting of the structural model of personality, topographical model of personality, defense mechanisms, drives, and the psychosexual stages of development. The primary driving force behind the theory is the id, ego and superego and the division of consciousness into the conscious mind, the pre/subconscious, and the unconscious. Freud's theory based on early life experiences of an individual. Unconscious motives & conflicts drive behavior. The goal is to make one aware of their unconscious desires. ***Freud believed that personality develops through a series of childhood stages in which the pleasure-seeking energies of the id become focused on certain erogenous areas. This psychosexual energy, or libido, was described as the driving force behind behavior.

Standardized testing is useful in evaluating a special needs child because:

These tests show how they stand in relation to other students. These test show what areas are their strong or weak points. These tests show their progress from one year to the next.

LAW: IDEA Individuals w/ Disabilities Education Act. Used to be the Education of the Handicapped Act (EHA. L. No. 94-142)

This act allocates funds to states that provide a free and appropriate education to all children with disabilities. IDEA Part B -In order to receive funds, each state must have developed a plan to ensure that every child with disabilities receives special education and related services in conformance with an IEP.

ASSESSMENT: Convergent validity

Two similar measures reveal the same result

LAW IDEA: Least Restrictive Environment

Under the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) of 1975 children with disabilities are to be placed in the least restrictive environment (LRE) possible. This basically means that each individual disabled child must be placed in regular classrooms as much as their disability permits. It is important to remember that LRE is a concept and not a place

In Piaget's theory, the "out-of-balance" state that occurs when a person realizes that his or her current ways of thinking are not working to solve a problem or understand a situation. Disequilibrium is when the scheme does not apply to the specific situation. This tends to make us uncomfortable and our brain will assimilate or accommodate to get back to a state of equilibrium. As a teacher, it is important to find a balance between the two because students sitting in equilibrium will be bored and not learning information. Students should be challenged occasionally with disequilibrium and then left to find their way back to equilibrium. This usually requires the help of the teacher

Resolution of each stage, however, is different for every individual. Erikson believes that it is important to find a favorable balance between the two conflicting factors in each stage. If a stage is managed well, we carry away a certain virtue or psychosocial strength which will help us through the rest of the stages in our lives. On the other hand, if we do not do so well, we may develop maladaptations and malignancies, as well as endanger all our future development.

DISORDER PROCESSING: Specific Learning Disability

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) defines a specific learning disability as "a disorder in one or more of the basic psychological processes involved in understanding or in using language, spoken or written, that may manifest itself in the imperfect ability to listen, think, speak, read, write, spell, or to do mathematical calculations." This disability category includes such conditions as perceptual disabilities, brain injury, minimal brain dysfunction, dyslexia and developmental aphasia (a type of language disorder). The DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for SLD reflect two major changes, each of which necessitated other changes: 1) one overarching category of SLD with 'specifiers' to characterize the specific manifestations of learning difficulties at the time of assessment in three major academic domains, namely reading, writing, mathematics (e.g., SLD With impairment in reading) 2) elimination of the IQ-achievement discrepancy requirement and its replacement with four criteria (A - D), all of which must be met. Criterion A refers to the key characteristics of SLD (at least one of six symptoms of learning difficulties that have persisted for at least 6 months despite the provision of extra help or targeted instruction). Criterion B refers to measurement of those characteristics (the affected academic skills are substantially and quantifiably below those expected for age and cause impairment in academic, occupational, or everyday activities, as confirmed by individually administered standardized achievement measures and comprehensive clinical assessment). Criterion C refers to age at onset of problems (during the school-age years, although may not fully manifest until young adulthood in some individuals), Criterion D specifies which disorders (Intellectual Disabilities, uncorrected auditory or visual acuity problems, other mental or neurological disorders) or adverse conditions (psychosocial adversity, lack of proficiency in the language of instruction, inadequate instruction) must be ruled out before a diagnosis of SLD can be confirmed.

THEORY: Classical Conditioning

The behavioral technique of pairing a naturally occurring stimulus and response chain with a different stimulus in order to produce a response which is not naturally occurring.A learning process in which two stimuli become associated and cause a change in behavior The process by which a neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus Two Stimuli- Bell (Neutral)->No response, Food(Meaningful)-> Salivation

the ability for students' scores on standardized tests to change over time due to various changes in uncontrolled variables. Ex. Student will score higher when healthy as opposed to having a cold. Some students may be depressed during the test, or tired, or unmotivated, or a combination of all of those. Therefore, small changes in the scoring of an individual are relatively negligible.
