Piaget- had a “universal way” of a developing child Piaget’s Stages universal …

INFORMATION PROCESSING THEORIST SAID YES TOOO!!!

cultural variation can be associated with Lev Vygotsky, where culture and our environmental context was a factor in the development of the child.

47
Q

stage-like vs. continuous change

A

the stage- like theory is associated with Piaget. Where mental structures are like the stages of a catepillar to a butterfuly,…. QUALITATIVE.

in continuous change, the idea is associated with the INFORMATION PROCESSING THEORISTS.

say children are novices, they just know less but think alike adults… QUANTITATIVE.

mental strucures like a little fish to a big fish.. progressively developing….

48
Q

Piaget’s theory of development

A
  • it is Qualitative
  • has 4 stages of development

sensory-motor period (0-2)

thinking=action; no mental representation

include: onject permanence (out of sight=out of mind)

preoperational period (2-7)

mental symbols developing, but still not logical or consistent

egocentric

& conservation (transition to concrete op)

Concrete operational period (7-11)

logical, consistent, but concrete

Formal Operational period (11 & up)

abstract logical thinking

49
Q

what changes across different stages?

A

in Sensory-motor period, (0-2) kids just suck anything and grasp… no mental representation

object permanace

in preoperational (2-7) kids can ID symbols and stuff… but can’t think logically… think about the girl in the video in class with the glass of water and the cookie.

conservational & egocentrism

Concrete operational (7-11) they understnad the 3 dimension and why water in a skinny glass is equal to the short wider glass.

Formal operational (11 & up) they think out side the box … have abstract logical thinking

50
Q

limitations of Piaget’s theory?

A

Babies in sesory-motor stage show evidence of reasoning about things they cant see. just not so good with motor skills…

children playing chess are experts in remebering more location of pieces than novice adults, but kids don’t remember as my digits as adults.

IT IS NOT UNIVERSAL AS HE SAID>..<

51
Q

Baillargeon’s findings

A

Baillargeon’s findings, he found that babies show evidence of reasoning about things they can’t see…. recall about the impossible event with the tall carrot not being seen when the building is short… so one is suppose to see the top portion of the damn carrot but we dont!!!!! and babies notice this!!!!

A

In Delache’s work suggests there are still intriguing ways that young children’s thinking differs from thinking of older kids n adults… they try n get into mini cars and sit in tiny chairs lol

In Baillargeon’s findings, he found that babies show evidence of reasoning about things they can’t see…. recall about the impossible event with the tall carrot not being seen when the building is short… so one is suppose to see the top portion of the damn carrot but we dont!!!!! and babies notice this!!!!

54
Q

Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory of learning

A

hhis theory is of children’s thinking develops in social contexts, mediated by other people, language, and toos!!!

zone of proximal development…

baby crawling,,, then pulling up,,,, then caregiver helps to raise baby up to start showing them the walk!…

baby learning how to talk… bby might say pa… n then dad say pa-pa .. helping the bby complete/ guide the bby to the finish line.

57
Q

Prenatal and newborn stages

A

zygote

embryo

fetus

rooting reflex

58
Q

hb b what is rooting reflexes ?

A

a touch of the ceeck causes the bby to turn and open their mouths like they r going to be fed… lol

59
Q

Longitudinal vs. cross-sectional research

A

Longitudinal: followin g a person through development by studying him or her at different points in time.

cross-sectional: comparing people at different ages with diferent people in the age group .

60
Q

Aging and cognitive development

A

when aging, older people do tend to be wiser… have obtain information, eperinces, and blah … winsdom !!!

However, bc of our biological deterioration, they tend to Decline in speed of processing … they don’t remember much of their younger times and their motor skills deteriorate as well.

61
Q

Nature and nurture: where do Piaget, information processing models, and Vygotsky stand on
this issue?

A

Piaget:

probably says that nature has a lot more to do with it bc of the whole qualitative aspect and the catapillar/butterfly aspect of it

Information Processing models

probably says that nurture and nature have something to do with the development of the child… first bc of the Quantitative part of it and the whole small fish growing up to a big fish

Vygotsky:

probably more into the nurture aspect of it… bc he thought one’s envronment delt a lot with one’s reasoning.

62
Q

Compare socio-emotional and cognitive development: What develops?

A

socio-emo dev deals with how we form relationships with other ppl and how emotions are felt, expressed, and understood throughout life.

cognitive developement deals with how babies and children think, leant to talk, remember and learn also how these processes change throughout the lifespan.

63

He was the kids from orphanages… that had little contact with others…

  • prewired to seek protection when in danger… (evolutionary view)
  • Caregivers was a “secure” base from which bby can explore… in NORMAL bbys/ childen … similar toERIKSON’S IDEA
  • his theory was based on PROTECTION NOT LOVE>..
  • he saw that these kids from orphanages didnt really have any of these… had a difficult time developing normally
78
Q

Mary Ainsworth

A

1st to developt 1st attchament measure..

focused on seperation and reunion of mom/chils plus strangers were introduced…

79
Q

Strange situation procedure (Ainsworth):

period of exploration, separation, reunion
Stability across time of attachment.

has 7 episodes…

P=parent, I= infant S+stranger appears

  1. P + I
  2. S
  3. I+s
  4. I+P
  5. I
  6. I+s —–
  7. I+P —–

— second seperation & reunion

she gave classifications …

secure, aoidant, resistant & disorganized/disoriented.

80
Q

Child care and attachment?

A

** Daycare**
◦ Produces better out comes bc the environment is safe and stimulating to the kids
◦ Sometimes kids become aggressive but ends ~ 3rd grade

• Hormonal differences

• NURTURE
• Parents
• Peers
• Media
• Teachers
• Once developed, children’s own gender schemas
can perpetuate stereotyped behavior

83
Q

Moral development: Kohlberg’s Stages – how does sense of morality change over time?

A

Lawrence Kohlbeg built up on this idea of Piaget
◦ Argued that adolescence is the prime time for developing a sense of morality ◦ His theory: 3 moral levels each divided into two stages

◦ Preconventional level of moral reasoning judges the morality of an action based on its consequences , particularly oneself
◦ Conventional level of moral reasoning determines tight and wrong based on social roles and society’s laws
◦ Post conventional level of moral reasoning considers that social contracts, laws, and rules can bend to uphold individual and universal rights.
• Studies shows that ppl go thought stages 1 & 2 of moral reasoning in order
• Only educated adults for, middle class, urban areas were found using post conventional level of reasoning ..
◦ Perhaps it is a cultural value and cultures with different values would not develop this same tube of moral justification

84
Q

overlapping distributions,

A

when there is like barely a difference in gender.. or even when there is… no matter what… there is always an overlapping amount btwn BOYS N GIRLS>..

85
Q

socialization

A

how adults interact with newborns.. TOY R US issue..

remember the study where adults were presented to the same bby but were either told it was a boy or girl… their description of the bby changed when they knew it was a Boy or a GIRL ..

86
Q

Peer relationships: how do peers influence our behavior, especially in adolescence?

A

• Social development for adolescence
◦ Peer relationships
▸ Have bffs that are makes and can distinguish from peer friendship from that of a romantic relationship
▸ These provide a reference to compare and evaluate a developing identity
▸ Study : grades 7-11 grade … Showed influence of closets friends on the likelyhood of binge drinking or engaging in sexual activity
▸ Peer pressure : marked by conformity of behavior … Peaks during the 9th grade
◦ Peers can influence both negatively or positively
◦ demanding parents ? Also less likely to follow peers

87
Q

Adulthood – still developing? Erikson’s stages of Intimacy and Generativity

A

• Some ppl wanna make a difference : Ericson’s **generativity **
◦ making a mark, leaving a mark … When adults feel they are largely satisfied with their lives they say this

Relationships
• Selecting a partner .. The most profound developmental task
• Many factors influences the quality of marriage
• Oh man … More likely to divorce when one of the partners went on to a point whe he/she had no respect to the other… This damage unlikely to be reparable :(
