Answer 2

cognitive development in children

Question 3

epistemology

Answer 3

the branch of philosophy concerned with the branch of knowledge acquisition

Question 4

methode clinique

Answer 4

semi structured interviews where questions are dependent on participants’ answers

Question 5

Piaget’s theoretical orientation and why

Answer 5

biological and evolutionary: the way children’s cognition develops is dependent on age and the physiological growth of our brains

Question 6

assimilate vs accommodation

Answer 6

assimilation uses previously learned schemas to understand the world, while accommodation involves modifying old schemas and creating new ones

Question 7

adaptation

Answer 7

interplay between assimilation and accommodation (there should be an equilibrium)

Question 8

is imitation assimilation or accommodation and why

Answer 8

accommodation because their behaviors are modified by external demands and it’s only after imitation will they internalize it

Question 9

intelligence is a fixed quality (T/F)

Answer 9

F: it is mobile

Question 10

maximally adaptive behaviors is essentially a reflection of what

Answer 10

intelligence

Question 11

age range for sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete op, and formal op

Answer 11

0-2/ 2-7/ 7-11/ 11-14

Question 12

piaget’s implications for education

Answer 12

optimal difficulty in tasks, social interaction, mental and physical activities

understanding that the existence of objects are constant even when they’re not perceived by us

Question 14

which stage has a here and now understanding of the world

Question 15

intentionality

Answer 15

when the actions and behaviors of children are goal directed and they understand that their actions can lead to changes in the world

Question 16

age and characteristic of preconceptual in the preoperational stage

Answer 16

2-4 yo, error of logic with transductive reasoning

Question 17

what is transductive reasoning

Answer 17

when you correlate two particular things together and generalize it (e.g. my dog has hairs, everything that has hairs is therefore a dog)

Question 18

age and characteristic of intuitive in the preoperational stage
