Understanding of others evaluation: evolutionary approach for role taking?

A

Machiavellian intelligence

30
Q

Understanding of others evaluation: real world application?

A

Selman (2003) role taking should be used more in schools. Social Skills Training (SST) used for criminals who could lack the ability to take the role of others and therefore lack empathy.

31
Q

Understanding of others evaluation: what 5 points for evaluation?

A

Separate modules, interdependence, role taking, real world application, nature/nurture.

32
Q

Sense of self: what are the 4 topics?

A

Subjective awareness, objective self awareness, theory of mind, psychological self.

At birth can recognise warmth, at 2 can recognise limb movement.

34
Q

Sense of self: subjective self awareness - main study?

A

Barrack and Watson (1985) - 5 month olds reacted differently to a real time video of their leg movement than a pre-recorded one.

35
Q

Sense of self: subjective self awareness - evaluation

A

Mahler et al (1993) - argues they have no sense of separateness at birth.

36
Q

Sense of self: objective self awareness - rouge tests?

A 
Gallup (1970) - monkeys
Amsterdam (1972) - 16 babies. 
6-12 months = someone else
13-24 months = warily
24+ months. = recognised themselves
37
Q

Sense of self: objective self awareness - consequence of this?

A

Development of jealousy empathy etc

38
Q

Sense of self: objective self awareness - evaluation study

A

Pip et al (1992) securely attached infants develop quicker. And those in an independent society

39
Q

Sense of self: Theory of mind - 2 main studies?

A

Sally-Anne task

Dunn (1991) - show by age of 2 with comforting

40
Q

Sense of self: Theory of mind - main evaluation

A

Baron-Cohen (1985) found autistic children failed, may be linked to their social deflict

41
Q

Sense of self: Theory of mind- evaluation for determinism

A

Partner et al (1994) ToM isn’t biologically determinist as children in big families develop it quicker.

42
Q

Sense of self: psychological self - 2 main studies

A

Damon and Hart (1988) children at age 4 describe physical features
Eder (1990) gave statements and found the answers were stable showing how they understood whether they were introvert or extrovert

43
Q

Sense of self: psychological self - this develops into?

A

Self-esteem

44
Q

Sense of self: psychological self - attachment link?

A

Securely attached infants rated themselves higher

45
Q

What are the 5 stages of Piagets application to education?

A

readiness, stages of development, motivation to learn, logical thinking

46
Q

Piaget application evaluation: 1st study for readiness?

A

Bryant et al (1971) when pre-operational children practised solving problems and gradually built it up they could cope. Practice rather than readiness.

47
Q

Piaget application evaluation: 2nd study for readiness?

A

Danner and Day (1977) students aged 10 and 13 on 3 formal operational tasks and showed no improvement. however 17 year olds did; supporting biological maturation

48
Q

Piaget application evaluation: weakness of readiness studies?

A

practise doest mean they understand, could just be repeating steps but not understanding why

49
Q

Piaget application evaluation: limitations study

A

Modgil et al (1983) suggests there inst enough practise in piagetian learning as it implies they do it themselves.

50
Q

Piaget application evaluation: culture bias?

A

individualist society

51
Q

5 stages of Vygotskys education

A

collaborative learning, peer tutoring, scaffolding, motivation to learn

52
Q

What is scaffolding?

A

Wood et al (1976) a process that enables a novice to solve a problem, carry out a task, or achieve a goal which would be beyond his unassisted efforts

53
Q

Whats an MKO?

A

more knowledgable other

54
Q

Vygotsky application evaluation: 1st collaborative learning study?

A

Gokhale (1995) students who study together performed better in individual critical-thinking tasks

55
Q

Vygotsky application evaluation: 2nd collaborative learning study?

A

Salvin (1991) these peer lessons are often on top of normal lessons and so it could just be the extra hours

56
Q

Vygotsky application evaluation: scaffolding study

A

Wood and Middleton (1975) watched mothers and their 3-4 year old children build a 3D pyramid puzzle. worked best when MKO altered their responses based on the learner ‘contingent regulations’

57
Q

Education application - what are the 5 overall evaluation points

A

culture bias, assessing teaching methods, discovery learning, comparison, emotion

58
Q

Education application: study for comparison?

A

Bennett(1976) piagets theory worked better for maths, reading and english. however may be due to formal teacher focus on the core subjects. vygotskys theory means teacher need more training and understanding so it could be the application not the theory thats the problem

59
Q

Education application: emotion point?

A

SEAL introduced to UK to balance lack of emotion in theories.

60
Q

Who was the mirror neuron system discovered by and how?

A

Rizzolatti et al (1996) - recording neural activity in the motor cortex of macaque monkeys and found neurons in the F5 area in the premotor cortex became active as if the monkey was doing the action

61
Q

4 points for the mirror neuron system AO1?

A

imitation, intention, perspective taking and ToM, language acquisition

62
Q

Mirror neurons: who studied imitation?

A

Lhermitte et al (1986) people who have damage to their frontal cortex display compulsive imitation

63
Q

Mirror neurons: who studied intention?

A

Lacobini et al (2005) studied 23 ps with context, action, and intention clip of a tea party. the most frontal cortex activity was in the intention clip; they were trying to understand why

64
Q

Mirror neurons: who studied perspective taking and ToM?

A

Gallese and Goldman (1998) Mns may enable us to read mins and understand perspective. this leads to empathy and prosocial behaviour

65
Q

Mirror neurons: who studied language acquisition?

A

Binkofski et al (2000) found evidence of MNs in Broca’s area (speech production)

66
Q

Mirror neurons evaluation: 5 points for evaluation?

A

simulation theory, lack of support, myth?, evidence, real-world application

67
Q

Mirror neurons evaluation: simulation theory

A

supports ST as it suggests we experience what other are experiencing to predict their actions and feelings. Theory theory (TT) suggests we construct a theory based on the info available

68
Q

Mirror neurons evaluation: lack of support

A

Lamm et al (2007) the brain regions active when someone feels emotion and watches someone else experience emotion werent the ones identified for MNs

69
Q

Mirror neurons evaluation: myth?

A

Gopnik (2007) most research is based on animals who dont have ToM, its too simple, might not be innate and could be learned through association (Nature/Nurture)

70
Q

Mirror neurons evaluation: evidence

A

Slack (2007) 286 individual neurons in ps who did simple tasks then watched a clip of someone else doing the tasks. 34 MNs were identified to be activated by performance and observation. identified different kinds, e.g ones which become suppressed in observation; preventing us imitating it

71
Q

Mirror neurons evaluation: real-world application

A

Slack (2007) strengthening autistic children’s NM system could help them develop ToM
