Unit 6 – Developmental Psychology
Topic 6.1
How have views on the impact of early experiences on lifelong development evolved over time?
From believing that early experiences critically define our future selves to recognizing ongoing plasticity throughout life.
We now believe that only our earliest memories shape us permanently, whereas earlier it was thought all experiences were important.
The impact of early experiences on lifelong development is considered more or less static overtime with no significant changes in perception.
Earlier we believed childhood events had no impact on adult life but now consider them crucial for lifelong development.
