Psychodynamic Approach To Cognitive Development

Example: (don’t include)
Psychoanalytic/Psychodynamic: This set of approaches derives from Freudian theory. It focuses on the unconscious mechanisms that drive human emotions and behaviors.

Different cultures also means a different strategy is being used. For example: Vygotsky referred to this theory as “tools of intellectual adaptation” because one kid might apply this tool that is beneficial for them in one way, while another kid uses the same tool in many different ways and it helps them even more. Cognitive: Jean Piaget's approached that the cognitive development is a process that happens over time from biological maturation, this is known as how the mind processes certain things (similar to a computer processor.)

The social-cognitive psychology is a “nomothetic approach” this means it is a study of mainly what is shared with others.
