Nativist View of Language Development
Chomsky
innate language acquisition device (LAD)
Nurturist View of Language Development
imitation and reinforcement
Interactionist View of Language Development
inborn mechanism influenced by biological and cognitive maturation and environment
Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis
language influences how we think; speakers of different languages think differently
Piaget Cognitive Development
ideographic approach epigenesis - must master previous stage first; constructivism - develop new knowledge based on foundation of previous learning and interacting with environment; peers more important than parents; 4 Stages: 1. Sensorimotor 2. Preoperational 3. Concrete Operational 4. Formal Operations
Sensorimotor
B-2 Object Permanence; Mental Images; Separation and Stranger Anxiety; Symbolic Representation at end (language)
Preoperational
2-7
Intuitive Thinking;
Egocentrism - can’t take perspective of others;
Phenomenalistic Causality - magical thinking about temporal events causing one another;
Animism;
Irreversibility - can’t mentally undo
Centration - focus on 1 aspect of a problem at at time (mom or sis but not both; length not amount)
Concrete Operational
7-11
egocentric thought replaced with operational thought:
logical, serialize, order using more than 1 dimension, reason and follow rules and regulations;
Conservation - reversibility and decentration
Formal Operational
11+ abstract concepts; hypothetical thinking; deductive reasoning; Metacognition
Vygotsky’s Social Development Theory of Conition
cognitive development results from social interaction;
adults more influential than peers; no stages;
Zone of Proximal Development;
Scaffolding and Reciprocal Teaching
Information Processing
quantitative changes that occur smoothly, continuously and gradually over the life span
Moral Development
Piaget, Kohlber, Gilligan
Piaget’s Theory of Moral Development
linked to cognitive development and perspective taking
2 Stages:
1. Heteronomous Morality (5-10) - morality of constraint; rigid thinking, rules made up by authority, can’t be changed, must be followed w/out ?, offense deserves punishment (unless they offend)
2. Autonomous Morality (10) - morality of cooperation; flexibility, consider intent, rules are flexible, agreed upon by others, can be changed
Kohlberg’s Theory of Moral Reasoning
