Q

Principles of Piaget’s Theory

A
  1. Schemas: Categories of experience (i.e. Boy has learned schema of cat)
  2. Assimilation: Incorporate new experiences into existing schemas (i.e. Boy sees cub and calls it cat; sister corrects him)
  3. Accommodation: Change schemas based on experience (i.e. Boy accommodates new schema of cub)
  4. Object Permanence: Object is still there if not seen or heard (i.e. Baby understands mom does not disappear when playing peek-a-boo)
21
Q

Piaget’s Sensorimotor Stage (0-2 yrs)

A
  1. Reflexes (0-1m)
  2. Learn to adapt (1-4m): Coordinate 2 actions
  3. Make interesting events (4-8m): Repeat pleasing actions
  4. Use means to achieve ends (8-12m): More purposeful actions
  5. Experimenting (12-18m): Old actions on other objects
  6. Mental representation: Think before/without action (make-believe, play jokes, known consequences)
22
Q

Memory

A

Leaves = confused
Returns = dazed/doesn't know to laugh or cry
31
