*Qualitative* changes
*Transmission* of physical and psychological *characteristics* from parents to their children *through genes*.
All *external conditions* that affect development.
The time from *conception to birth*.
It is a time of *tremendous growth* - from a single cell to an organism complete with *brain and behavioral capabilities*, produced in approximately *9-month period*.
The *process of development* starts at *conception*.
• Human beings starts as a *single celled organism*, the *zygote (fertilized ovum)* divides into many more cells which by the end of the second week it will be formed as the embryo.
• The *second stage*, the new organism quickly *develops a heart, nervous system, stomach, esophagus and ovaries or testes*.

Results in *deafness, cataract, mental deficiency or heart
disease* in the baby.
*Syphilis, malaria, small pox, chicken pox and mumps* are ______________ caused by agents *small enough to pass through placenta*, can result in *deformities or defects*.

Increase *fetal heartbeat*.
Effects of __________________ may affect the *mentality of the child*.
__________________ of the mother can *influence an unborn child*.
______________ such as *methadone* easily *crosses the placenta barrier* and may *impede the fetus normal development* (premature or small).

From *birth to 18 months of age*.
*Children think* as a result of *coordination of sensory input and motor responses*.
*Intelligence is non-verbal or non-symbolic*. Infants *lack object permanence*.

• Proposed a *theory of human development* which was made up of *five psychosexual stages*.
• He believed that there are *certain erogenous zones (pleasure areas)* in the body to which the person's activity is *directed at a certain age*.
• *Major conflicts arise at each stage* and *fixation* occurs when the person is *unable to successfully resolve* these conflicts. Specially, *fixation is seen to be a tendency to psychologically stay at a particular stage* of development even as *one chronologically gets older*.
• *Oral* Stage
• *Phallic* Stage
• *Anal* Stage
• *Latent* Stage
• *Genital* Stage
Birth to *1 year erogenous zone: mouth*
• ______________ *fixation or under gratification* might result in a *passive, gullible, immature, manipulative and dependent personality*.
