Question 1 4 / 4 pts
Which theorist or theory describing development do you agree with the
most? Summarize this theory and describe why you agree with it.
Your Answer:
There is not one developmental theorist or theory I particularly agree with,
but the one I find the most interesting is Freud's theory. Freud believed in
psychosexual stages from infancy to adulthood. He stated that
unsuccessful completion of a certain stage would result in a person
becoming fixated on an erogenous part of the body, which in turn leads to
the individual expressing specific personality traits.His theory makes
sense to me. For instance, in the oral stage, the infant is fixated on their
mouth, and as an adult they may become smokers because they

Question 7 6 / 10 pts
Thoroughly answer the essay question. Essays should be written in
complete sentences.
Compare and contrast Assimilation and Accommodation. In your answer,
be sure to describe each and describe how they differ from one another.
Then, give a specific example of each. Finally, give a personal example of
when you engaged in either assimilation or accommodation (be sure to
say which one that you are describing!). Note: the module video used the
example of eating food to illustrate these points. You must choose
different examples.
Your Answer:
Assimilation and accommodation both involve processing new
information. Assimilation is when you use exisiting schemes to make
sense of new information. An example of this would be when a person is
cooking and they come across a term they do not recognize in the recipe,
they use context clues to figure out the meaning. Accommodation is when
you take in new information and relate it to existing schemas. An example
of this would be when a person is in school and associates a new concept
with something they have already learned. A personal example I have of
acommodation is from learning new concepts in this class and associated
to exisitng things I have learned.
