Introduction:
- The complexity of the world, psychological entropy, and the formation of meaning
Meaning Class One: Meaning of the Determinate Knowledge Structure
- Understand a comprehensive framework of motivational systems as the first-order solution to the problem of self-maintenance, self-propagation, and complexity. Figure 1: illustrates the function of motivational systems within a goal-directed schema.
- Discover the neurodevelopment of motivational systems and it's neuropsychological consequence on child behavior. Figure 2: Brain anatomical illustration of motivational systems within the brain's nuclei.
- Investigate the role of emotion systems and identity as a solution to the problem of motivational and emotional conflict. Figure 3: Schematic representation depicts the interrelationship between emotions and motivations within a goal-directed framework.
- Explore the intrinsic values of childhood and the neuropsychological analysis of the sensorimotor and pre-operational stages of child development. Figure 4: Beautifully illustrates the organizational hierarchy of the intrinsic values of childhood onto behavior (mind-body connection).
Meaning Class Two: Meaning of the Indeterminate Knowledge Structure
- Discover the two types of indeterminate knowledge structures. Scenario 1: child-parent interaction
- Appreciate how the indeterminate knowledge structures formulate and unfold across time within the social context in real-time scenarios. Figure 5: illustrates a behavior analysis of how intrinsic values interact within a goal-directed framework.
- Explore the neuropsychology of motherhood and fatherhood and their fundamental roles in early child development. Scenario 2: child-parent interaction
Meaning Class Three: Meaning of the Conjunction Between the Determinate and Indeterminate Knowledge Structure
- Discover the orienting complex and the meaning of exploratory behavior as the solution to uncertainty. Figure 6: shows the reworking and re-integration of the knowledge structure.
- Explore the empirical, operational definition of stimulus and reinforcement. Understand the neuropsychology of the two types of brain reward systems and their differences on child behavior. Scenario 3: child-parent interaction
- Discover the most fundamental child intervention and memory system for child development. Figure 7: illustration depicts the function of memory systems.
Final Thoughts
- Robby shares his final thoughts about the meaning systems of child development. He encourages parents and healthcare providers to pursue what is most meaningful for child development.
