chapter 5 Flashcards
what theories are based on information processing models
cognitive theories
Jean Piaget’s main position
cognitive development in children
epistemology
the branch of philosophy concerned with the branch of knowledge acquisition
methode clinique
semi structured interviews where questions are dependent on participants’ answers
Piaget’s theoretical orientation and why
biological and evolutionary: the way children’s cognition develops is dependent on age and the physiological growth of our brains
assimilate vs accommodation
assimilation uses previously learned schemas to understand the world, while accommodation involves modifying old schemas and creating new ones
adaptation
interplay between assimilation and accommodation (there should be an equilibrium)
is imitation assimilation or accommodation and why
accommodation because their behaviors are modified by external demands and it’s only after imitation will they internalize it
intelligence is a fixed quality (T/F)
F: it is mobile
maximally adaptive behaviors is essentially a reflection of what
intelligence
age range for sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete op, and formal op
0-2/ 2-7/ 7-11/ 11-14
piaget’s implications for education
optimal difficulty in tasks, social interaction, mental and physical activities
what is object concept
understanding that the existence of objects are constant even when they’re not perceived by us
which stage has a here and now understanding of the world
sensoritmotor
intentionality
when the actions and behaviors of children are goal directed and they understand that their actions can lead to changes in the world
age and characteristic of preconceptual in the preoperational stage
2-4 yo, error of logic with transductive reasoning
what is transductive reasoning
when you correlate two particular things together and generalize it (e.g. my dog has hairs, everything that has hairs is therefore a dog)
age and characteristic of intuitive in the preoperational stage
4-7 yo, intuitive problem solving (logic is based purely on your perception), egocentrism, absence of conservation
operation definition
internalized activities that is subject to rules of logic
3 logico mathematical schemes
reversibility, identity: combining an item with an item of its inverse nulls the effects, compensation (idk what this means dawg)
conservations and seriation understanding at what stage and what does it mean
concrete operational, understanding orders by concrete logic
formal operation characteristics
abstract thinking and propositional thinking with their logic
