Describe this theory and explain how it best represents your own viewpoint about human development. Provide at least 2 examples from real life situations to prove how this theory represents your own viewpoint of human development. Tell how your theory supports one of the following themes in developmental psychology: continuity vs. discontinuity; universal vs. context dependent development (culture, vs. society); nature vs. nurture.

Now compare and contrast 2 theorists within the developmental theory you have chosen. e.g. *Psychodynamic - Freud and Erikson *Social Learning- Bandura (compare him to a Behaviorist) *Behaviorism - Pavlov, Watson, Skinner *Cognitive - Skinner, Piaget, Vygotsky *Ecological- Bronfenbrenner, Bowlby
