I also learned what the eclectic perspective is. It is the
approach taken by most developmentalists, in which they apply aspects of each
of the various theories of development rather than adhering exclusively to one
theory. Instead of just adopting one theories of development, developmentalists
can use more than one or all of them because no single theory can explain the
behavior of humans as they go through life. Theories are needed to suggest hypotheses,
investigations, and answers that objective research and empirical can replace untested
and personal assumptions. Also, social learning theory recognizes that people
learn by the observation of others. Cognitive theorists believe that thoughts
and beliefs powerfully affect attitudes, actions, and perceptions. Piaget
proposed four age-related periods of cognition, propelled by an active search
for cognitive equilibrium and I learned that information processing focuses
cognitive theories.
