Firstly, I have to say that it was really great conference… Rrof. Alan told all his notes properly and answered audience’s questions with patient. He explained his ideas regarding issue giving nice examples. I am just really sorry to forget my sweet D90 at home. I couldn’t take any photo from the conference… Next conference I am going to bring it and took some photos to share it on my blog. If my Darling hears this, he is going to kill me J =)
In the beginning of the conference, Prof. Diana started to the conference with introducing Prof. Alan’s life, works, and so on… Mainly, He wrote 7 books and he was a professor institution of child development, University of Minnesota. Diana said he is retired now. After giving a little information about him, Prof. Alan started his saying two words that are “merci beaucoup” and “merhaba” J He mentioned regarding about his journey of Istanbul. He said that Istanbul is fantastic and amazing city. He seemed satisfied by journey of Istanbul.
Actually, I am not going to give a new conference you now J just write and share some notes from the conference. Everybody who would like to read those notes can share it with somebody…
One of his arguments was about child’s reactions to the events. He says we have 5 possible explanations for different reactions.
1. Gender
2. Temperament
3. Cognitive deficits
4. Brain dysfunction
5. Experiential History
Mainly he says two different children have two different reactions to the same event according to these possible explanations. They are quite important explanations. Early experiences of child have a special importance. Entire history of the person and circumstances has a great influence on behavior. Our behavior shapes based on past experiences. We can predict our future behavior in terms of past experiences. Major life events are significant for people such as getting marry, having children and so on…
After that he mentioned a bit about attachment issue in infants. I have noted that quality of attachment depends on earlier quality of care. There are 5 attachment relationships as you see below:
The attachment relationship
1. Relationship between infant and caregiver
2. All infants become attached
3. Differences in attachment qualities
4. Based in patterning of care
5. The organization of attachment behavior
Well, we can ask this question ourselves. How attachment supports development? There 5 ways again…
1. The motivational base
2. The attitudinal base
3. The instrumental base
4. The emotional base
5. The relational base
We finish up the conference with student’s great questions. I couldn’t take note them, I enjoyed with listening questions and answers… I have just remember that Prof. Alan gave this answer for questions, There is no magical explanation for all questions hehe J)))))
Huge thanks Prof. Alan Sroufe for coming to Bilgi University… J
