The Families of Theory
Captions available
The idea
Unit one grouped theories into families: psychodynamic, from Freud, entry 0023; learning theory, entry 0041; sociocultural, from Vygotsky, entry 0032; information processing, entry 0036; and ecological, from Bronfenbrenner, entry 0046.
In practice
One toddler's tantrum explained five ways, one per family.
Where people slip
Each family asks a different question, so the course uses them together rather than choosing one winner.
