Q

Coordination of secondary circular rxns (8-12) months

A

Intentional, goal directed behavior, combo of schemes to solve problems
Object permanence = understanding that object will continue to exist when they are out of sight
AB search errors= infants 18-12 months look for an object only in hiding place A, when the object is moved from hiding place A to B
Babies look longer at seemingly impossible events, violation of expectation procedure, carrot going behind screen, similar to block on train

Q

Substage 6 Mental Representation (18 months - 2 yrs)

A

Internal images of absent objects and past events (displaced reference)
A toddler can solve problems, through symbolic means, instead of trial and error, permits make believe play
Deferred Imitation
Ability to copy behavior of models who are not present
Semiotic Function
Using something to stand for something else, doll = baby, Piaget did not think babies could imitate, yet a study disproved, ppl started doing this thing, got close to there face, open mouth, stuck tongue out

play, language development
Centration = only focus on one aspect of problem, not multiple, conservation problem, pouring water
Irreversibility = don’t understand you can pour tall narrow glass back into wider, same amount
Egocentrism - babies and kids see themselves as center of universe, peek a boo
Animism = attribute life like characteristics to inanimate objects, “bad table

Q

Vgotsky’s Social Constructivist Approach (1934 - 1986)

A

Social and historical context is important, contextual theory
Child engaged in activity,, in context at the “unity of study”
Emphasis on schools (montessori schools)
Biology reigns supreme in infancy but then individuals experience sociogenesis
Thought is co- constructed (socially mediated)
Social referencing = face adult makes when a kid is injured

24
The Sapir Whorf Hypothesis
language influences our thought, in english we don’t put gender on nouns, in spanish you do, studies show those who grew up on gendered words impact perceptions
25
Productive Expressive Language Development
= crying birth, when hunger, pain, tried, cooing (2-4 months) breahty vowel sounds of sharp contrast, as profreses coos become social, Babbling (4+ months) breathy, harsh, consonants, repetitive, Expressive Jargon (end of 1+) same phonemes, none of morphemes, sometimes have pragmatics down really well, first word (around 13 months) holophrase: when the word has meaning, one word w alot of meaning, two word utterances (18-24 months) telegraphic speech and word spurt “daddy home”
26
Language vs Communication
novel/creative flexible can be used in different ways, animal communication, mating, potential threat, arbitrary, words are constructed over time, displace (talk about future/past), interpersonal, we talk differently to kids certain friends, structure, syntax, semantic, phonemes= basic sounds of language, Morphemes = roots of words, prefixes, suffixes
27
Pantanese/child directed speech-
you are talking to a child, loud, slower, repetition, speech for babies, research shows pantase facilities language development
28
Overregularization
= making language more predictable than it is, “yesterday I run so fast, I runned” applying past tense they have heard
29
Overextension/underextension -
over= kids take a word and use it too widely, daddy is every guy, under = using a word too narrowly, dog = only there dog
30
Behavioral Perspective -
environmental influences, operant conditioning, imitation, parents supporting language, doesn’t do it all all
31
Nativist perspective
= biologically, primed to learn language, chomosky = universal grammar, LAD (language acquisition) born with universal grammar rules, Lennerburg (critical period hyp), believed critical period from infancy to puberty, easier to learn language
32
WUG experiment
= made up nonsense words, asked them to make plural or possessive, clever because they had never heard these word, mean that they have abstracted how to do endings, not just memorization
33
Sign Language research
= found very similar patterns of development, one sign utterances, than 2, couple of differences, signs emerged earlier first word, signs are 100% visible but you can’t see what goes into make a word, hand motor skills also advanced
34
Apes and Language
complex systems of communication, not all human characteristics, couple raised baby ape as child, ape learned 4 words, tried to teach ape sign language, larened 129 signs, based on chimp babies, Koko the ape = largest vocab
35
Temperament
seed of personality - biologically driven which interact with environment - NY longitudional study - easy child, difficult, slow to warm up child - the goodness of fit model - does difficult equal bad
36
9 qualities of temperament
extent/level of motor activity rythmicity, degree of regularity the response to a new object, or perosn adaptability threshold of sensitivty to stimulus intensity of a response general mood/disposition degree of a child’s distractibility 9 child’s attention span
37
Easy Kids
happy, friendly, predictable, don’t mind change
38
Difficult Child
cranky, intense, react with intensity, don’t like change, NOT adaptable
39
Slow to warm up child
in the middle, take them some time, generally adaptable when given time
40
The Goodnes of Fit model
looked at parents expectations, working parents, difficult babies harder to care for, in these scenarios lower SES, moms working in home don’t care as much thomas and Chess = goodness of fit model NOT about individual characteristics, bt about how parent fits with kids, how they fit with parent and fmailies
41
Study Example
medically diagnosed disabilities followed 2nd = 6th grade goodness of fit measure = list of all the naughty behavior kdis do,mothers check what kids did 2nd instrument - how much naughty behavior bothered them, oftne chose ones the kids didn’t do found good and bad fit parent, kid match by 6th grade kids with bade fit- lowest scores, control - bad fit, learning disabilities, good fit, learning disabilties bad fit
42
Masai Effect
in Africa traveled from water hole to water hold classifed babies group traveled off then met up months latter severe drought, people, livestock, babies suffered the babies that lived/survived was the difficult babies parents had to placate babies, so recieved more food, attention
43
Cupboard theories of attacthcment
A Frued = babies attach, because oral fixation is satsified by being fed Behavorism = we form associations, babies asociate full tummies with parents
44
Harlow’s work with infant monkeys
raised them in isolation to NOT get sick, turned out, monkeys acting in unusal ways, rock, self destructive behaviors, started studyign monkeys gave monkeys fake moms (1 soft comforting, 1 feeder monkey) soft comforting monkey was the one they ran to DESTROYED CUPBOARD THEORIES
45
Tejada, Dunbar, Monetero study
hand massages and mod, folks with hand massages, mood improved dramatically
46
tiffany field- infant massage
preterm babies who get infant massage, develop faster, led to weight gain
47
Development of atactchment
human are predisposed to attatchment, when parents behave predictably trust is made preattactchment phase (birth - 6 wks) attatchmetn in the making (6-6 months) recognizes parents, want to be held, NOT ALONE, smell mom if breast Clear Cut attachtmetn (6- 24 months) learn alongside parents, parents are reference pt object permanence at 7 months Formation of Recirpocal Relationships (18-24 months) trust, parents leave with babysitter, they will come back decline in seperation anxiety
48
Spitz “failure to thrive”
studied orphanages one orphanage, 8 babies to a caregiver feed them by propping up a bottle no cuddling or played with draped cribs so they couldn’t see each other babies with moms who gave birth fed, but babies with mom babies in family home, demonstrated failure to thrive, NO physical medical explanation, not developing simply because of lack of contact comfort
49
Skeel Longitudinal Study
lots of babies, of DQ scores low, did not get placed for adoption started transferring babeis to insitution, did not get placed for adoption started transferring babies to insitution for women with cognitive deficits, able to visit insitiutiton, DQ scores were well above average suprising because IQ scores are mnalleable kids followed for 21 years, transferred, showed jumps in IQ remained
50
The strange situation
introduction into lab playroom parent and baby alone stranger enters tries to engage with baby parent leave, baby with stranger parent returns, stranger departs parent leaves baby alone reunion
51
Avoidant Attachment
(about 20%) don’t do as much social referencing engages with stranger reunion not as happy not attachment/problematic baby could have attachment disorder
51
Secure Attachment
best outcome about 65% baby uses parent as social referencing- baby shows stranger anxiety, baby will be comofrted when baby falls looks to parent for rxn
52
Disorganized - disoriented (2%)
kids enter playroom don’t settle in when you pick them up, go ridged dazed expression on there face
53
Resistant/Anxious Ambivalent Attachment
(13%0 babies don’t settle in play room cry when parents leaves reunion - push parent away clingy don’t settle in
54
What about daycare?
research is mixed some suggest higher rates of insecure attachment others do not quality of daycare is an issue, attachment problems, untrained staff, high turnover Parenting attentionality - more of this distracted parenting, with kids but on phones.
55
What makes a good quality daycare?
A 5 factors - people like there jobs, clean, ratio of kids - babies, age appropriate toys, structure activities
56
Daycare Research
social development (externalizing behaviors) cognitive development - advanced in high quality daycares physical development (kids get sick more, OM, flue, cold, covid, problematic in daycares bigger than 6) one study showed possible higher cortisol levels because of stress
57
Attachment disorders
Why? - deprivation, neglect, abuse, congenital issue Treatment? assessment to see issue solution, encourage caregiver to provide predictability, have parents engage with baby during alert - activity, making sure babies adress kids medical NEEDS, cleanliness, if congenital, early remediation.
58
Erikson
trust vs mistrust - trust, parents respond when baby needs them, predictable = trust autonomy vs shame and doubt, beginning sense of autonomy initiative vs guilt industry vs inferiority
59
Theory of Mind
understanding of our mental states understanding of others mental states tested with fasle belief tasks tested with smarties test a kid given smartie box, asked what is in the box, pencils in box, researcher asks kids what they think is in the box says “pencils” though they always kknew it was pencils idea that what they know know you know- piaget called this egocentrism kids with austism struggle with this
60
Immunizations
by the time children go to school recieve, between 25-30 vaccines ny vaccinations about 73% US average about 73& some parents are frightened about possible side effects
61
Detheria Tetnus (DTP)
bacterial infection, 1/2 people die, young and elderly, tetenus = muscle spasm. from soil
62
IPV
polio, feared, paralysis/death in kids, families quarentiened
63
MMR
measles, rash, aches, pains, flu - like, 1/1,000 develop brain sweling die, airborne, mumps - 200,000 cases a year 20-30 die, inflammation on jaw glands, infect testicles, sterile Rubella - outbreaks in 60s, teratogenic, 30,000 kids effected
64
HIB
flu, can be serious in kids, complication - meningitis, declined, 98%
65
Hepititus B
infection of liver, transmitted from bodily fludids, sex, mom to baby, needles, infected ifnants, chronic liver, cancer
66
Hepatitis A
impacts liver, transmitted from fecal oral, sometimes reasturants
67
Flu
see it every year, CDC tries to predict what will be dominat in winter, 140,000 hospitalizations, complications = dehydration, phenomena
68
Chickenpox
herpes virus, previously viewed as not a big deal, itchy goes dormant, unitl immune system compromised - shingles,
69
Phnemoccal
bacteria spread by coughing and sneezing, leads to phenomena, OM rates dropped
70
What would happen if more U.S parents chose not to vaccinate?
currently with 75% vaccinated we have herd immunity 13-20k cases of polio 3-4 million cases of measles 20k cases of invasive HIB 150-260k cases of pnemoccal
71
Autism and vaccinations
many parents suggest there is a link between MMR vaccine and autsim, to date medical reserarch has shown NO link
72
Taylor, 1999, Autism Study
no step up diagnosis prior/after MMR vaccine developmental regression NOT clustered in the months after vaccination
73
Wakefield 1998-
published a study of 8 kids who developed Autism after MMR vaccine, he had wanted to promote his own vaccination, study was not correct, license retracted 2010, used to prove anti vax parents points, study retracted, he lost his license in 2010
74
Vaccine Hesitancy
cognitive dissonance - unable to distinguish what info is reliable, when you look up info on internet, So much info,
75
Dunning Kruger Effect
knowledgeable, person thinks they know everything, non experts think they are experts
76
Survivorship Bias -
you look at ppl that survived, those who didn’t invisible, Illusory correlations- perceiving that a relationship exists between variables, “phantoms:, relationships that don’t really exist, absolutely fine got vaxxed, then symptoms to Autism
77
Omission Bias -
aking risk of disease over risk of getting vaxxed, one reason because when you go to get vax, get list of side effects potentially
78
Neglect probability
tendency to completely disregard probability, when making a decision vaccinated, but still getting covid -> don’t work
79
Vaccine Hesitancy Post covid- he et al (2022),
252 participants, found increased childhood vaccine hesitancy, increased anxiety about vaccines, but didn’t result in a decreased attempt to vaccinate, household income = higher than 50k-90k dollars, decreased childhood vaccine hesitancy.
80
Cognitive Development in Early Childhood -
Piaget focused on pre operations, believing you could look at drawings to assess development.
81
Hogbart and Brooks
raised their child with no representational images, no TV, images, etc, tested their kid, kid had no trouble identifying pictures.
82
Hagen’s theory -
no development, cultures and individuals use any of the three equally valid systems, metric, Affine, projective
83
The last supper
= projective system - you can see convergence
84
Piaget’s theory of drawing
3 stages of development, Synthetic incapacity = on simple relationships shown, things aren’t synthetically relationship, early tadpole
85
Intellectual Realism -
draw what they know rather than what they see, legs in back, not hidden for depth, show them all
86
Visual Realism
pretty, accurate with perspective and depth seen
87
Hagen vs piaget
hagen would say there does not appear to be development BUT there do not appear distinct phases, there is a wide range of individual differences in drawings
88
Emotional and Social learning play
play involved cognitive and social development,
88
Unoccupied play
play mat, kicking feet, rattles, hand eye coordination, Babies Solitary Play - bounce ball, put toys in bucket, puzzle, rocking teddy bear, NOT capable of of playing with another kids, don’t want to share,
89
Onlooker play
like to watch older kids, play but won’t engage in younger sibling, watching older sibling play
90
Parallel Play
doing/playing together, share a common goal
91
Sensorimotor pLay Function play
mostly unoccupied play,
92
Constructive play
building something, legos,
93
social Play
any play happening, with other ppl interacting, Dramatic Play has a theme, inspired by media.
94
Games
board games, rules, structures, winner and loser
95
Sexually Differentiated Biology
there are not really two discrete biological boxes, sexual differentiation is messy, binary sex is constructed, movement from the terms “biological sex” to “sex traits:
96
“Biological sex isn’t simple”
ppl try to make it simple, has multiple layers, layers may all be consistent but sometimes they are not
97
Fausto sterling 2012 -
chromosomal sex, gonadal sex, ovaries, testes, neither, both, Hormonal sex = estrogen related hormones, androgen, both produced by both, Internal reproductive sex, brain sex.
98
External Structures
parallel structures/development, when a child is born and even before, we often look at the genitals for info about their possible sex we are, as a culture a kind of obsessed with kids genitals
99
Sexual differentiation of body
the fetus is “unsexed” in early development, all fetuses have primordial gonads and wolfian duct systems mullerian ducts become the female reproductive tract wolfian ducts become the female reproductive tract in absence of SRY, ovaries develop around 6 week
100
Multiple Paths
many kids are born intersex about 1 in 1500 kids are intersex if baby isn’t having trouble peeing, you can do nothing
101
Congenital Adrenal Hyperlasia
in some situations, females genetically fetuses are exposed to androgens parents generally favor early reassignment
102
Spatial Ability in CAH
different spatial abilites, mental rotation -historically men tend to do better ppl who identify as men spatial ability in one hemisphere ppl who identify as women spatial ability is bilateral can find more kids upset with surgery than happy
103
Androgen insensitivity syndrome
x linked recessive condition XY chromosomes body is immune to androgens develop testes, but body doesn’t react normally if everything looks fine don’t do extensive testing at puberty doesn’t menstruate because they have testes inside, could become cancerous identify as female tend to femine
104
5 alpha reductase
feminized phenotype at birth, and appearance of testicles around puberty 18 cases, 16 socialized as boys, easily went against idea of gender neutrality suggested biology trumps, socialization
104
Sex chromosome conditions - turner’s syndrome
alot of pregnancies spontaneously terminate not identified at birht, 100k females, a bit of webbing between neck and shoulders don’t typically develop secondary sex conditions either, unless get hormones
105
Turner syndrome and Gender issues
“tuner” nuerocognitive phenotype, unable to spatially organize/do spatial tasks
106
Sex chromosome conditions - klinefeller’s syndrome
XX and Y often people go unidentified in cognitive abilities reading difficulties, lower verbal IQ extra chromosome, changes = female body fat distributions, fat deposits on legs, butt, chest, if gender development male very unwelcome.
107
Gender identity
knowledgable of being female, male, bi, neither
108
Gender identity disorder/dysphoria
attiude, behaviors beliefs, assigned to each gender based on reproductive sex
109
Gender stereotypes
women are like this, males are like this - letting kids choose there own gender, not assigning pronouns
110
Issues with gender binary
big issues, transgender people face, staggering levels of bullying.
111
Psychoanalytic - Freud Phallic Stage
oedipal conflict = boys are sexually attracted to there mothers fear that father will find out, castrate, Electra Conflict = angry with mothers, envious of dads penis, unknown reason suppress desire with father and gender identity
112
Social Learning Gender typing
social learning = we learn in the context of others Reinforcement = parent reinforce gender, way more acceptance with girls violating than boys, ex = tomboy Modeling = learning from tv, toys, parents, etc
113
Cognitive Development Kohlberg
Kohlberg believed children go through the following stages in the understanding of gender Gender Identity = first established but don’t understand is permanent gender stability = gender is not variable, going to hang around, thrown off by halloween Gender constancy = gender permanence, get the idea gender is stable and permanent (5-7 years old), kids get us vs them, in 1st- 2nd grade, girls play with girls, boys play with boys
114
Gender Schema
combines social learning and cognitive developmental children learn through imitation (role models) reinforcement and punishment, BUT children also use this info to construct gender schema
115
The development of gender typing - environmental factors
family, school, peers, society, media, books, movies, tv, toys, school structure, authority figures, present rigid roles
116
The development of gender typing - children and toy play
can a toy impact children’s idea about gender Ditmar et al (2006) idea pushed that appearance matters for female gender roles, does barbie make girls want to be thing 5-8 yr olds exposed to barbies or Emmy (size 16 doll), or NO doll gave a measure of body esteem, youngest girls exposed to Barbie exposed most desire for thinner Barbie results - baby like face on adult proportions
117
Gender and Children’s environment
Rheingold and cook (1975) - examined rooms of 48 boys and 48 girls, all under 6 - girls had more dolls, doll houses, domestic toys (kitchen, cleaning), floral motifs, ruffles/lace bedding Boys = more educational toys, artistic materials, decorated with animals - boys and grisl growing up in different ways greatly influence them
117
Sexual Scripts - gagnon and Simon
sexual scripts start constructing as a kid - what relationships are like, seen in Disney, disney most popular halloween costume
118
Blakemore and Centers (2005)
had undergrads rate kids toys, strongly masculine, masculine, non gendered, strongly feminine 4 sets and then studied had 700 undergraduates rate toys on developmental qualtieis toys strongly feminine = nurturing, domestic skills, physical attractivnesss Masculine toys = violent, competitive said that kids being raised in different environments, encouraged on different pathways
119
Pomerlau - Bolduc, Macluit and Cosette
method physical/environmental 12- girls and boys compared toys, clothing, rooms boys = more veichles, sports, red clothes, blue, white, blue bedding Girls - had pink clothes, domestic toys, yellow bedding Asked who decorates/picks out clothes? answer was female relatives, early on girls/boys different environments Older kids (randall) 2007 same thing girls = more pictures of themselves Boys = construction sets said that social media heavily influenced
120
Childhood Obesity
18.5% of Am. children meet criteria for childhood obesity 80% of obese kids will remain obese adults
121
Biological - childhood obesity
genetic -“obesogenic” environment available high calorie food limited physical activity parents nervous to let kids run alone/safety kids spend more time in front of screens (including schools) most of it is sedentary
122
Food Deserts
no reasonably priced food within walking area fresh produce really pricey, doesn’t keep well
123
Environmental factors on childhood obesity
unhealthy eating behavior kids very picky must offer 30-40x externality hypothesis - suggests overweight individuals more likely, convinced to eat from external factors sedentary behavior TV (screen time) time spent in front of a TV
124
Schajter
developed externality hypothesis ppl who are obese more susceptible to visual cues restaurants venting into the streets food tv commercials
125
TV programming and Food
center for science in the public interest (2009) flemming - millici and Harri’s (200*0 used Nielsen data and compared 2008-2012 it increased dramatically for AA kids over white
126
Kids and Body Image
showed kids body silouttes had to choose which bodies they most wanted to look like girl.boy body options (skinny - fat) conclusions = kids judge each other by appearance especially in preschool, nore pressure on girls researchers rated preschoolers on attractivness researcher asked who they want to be friends with 3-4 year olds girls attractivness mattered boys did not care DATA - girls wanting to have thinner bodies, in both male and female
127
Healthy at every size
shifting question how to make kids healthy instead of thin also shifting towards family oriented programs, because kid’s can’t
128
4th grade study on body image
subjects 817 4th graders, who were divided African Americans and white AA tend to have more body positivity
129
Tantangelo and Ricciardelli (2017)
did interviews 8-10 years olds, boys and girls did focus groups, 16 boys/girls in each group Themes appearance related comparisons most common with girls for boys, they found watching shows were inspiring, comparisons about sports/stregth when girls were doing media comparisons, made them really feel badly, negative body images 2nd study boys comparisons about body functions girsl appearances were related to body images girls offered role models, who were pretty boys offered role models who inspired them
130
Fluid Intelligence
things you can’t be taught, speed of processing game where it flashes, red, ellow, green have to remember the order
130
Crystalized intelligence
who painted Mona Lisa Things that can be taught you can keep learning new stuff your whole life doing crossword puzzles, wordle, keeps our memory sharp

132
IQ tests terrible uses
assessed who could be let in from, Ellis island used delibratly used by army, discovered many soliders had reading issues, gave pictorals determines who should be on the frontline, and who should be an officer taking IQ tests - labeled a number, verbal scale, and non verable scale
132
IQ is it destiny
one of old celebrities has highest IQ ever but she uses her big IQ to help people solve puzzles
133
The IQ controversy
controversy that som epart of IQ may be biologically driven previously just assumed that biology is destiny
134
Hernstein and Murray - 1994
argued that IQ biologically based the reason for AA low IQ is because of biology led people to cut funding for school programs, like head start
135
Jensen 1985
influenced politicians along the way
136
Hernstein and Murray
wrote a book called bell curve when you give IQ test you get a bell curve curve is biologically based the people at the top of hte curve become CEO, a presidents folks at the bottom, end up, needing social support programs cut, because kids with lower IQ scores can’t be helped did cherry picking
137
Scarr and Weinburg, 1983
kids who had been adopted had above average IQ, test means that is actually test of middle class whitness
138
Shirley Brice Heath 1989
white/ AA moms reading book to children realized white moms reading books like and IQ test, How many Bananas? What color is this white AA moms related what was happening in real life

140
Sternburg’s Triarchic Theory of Intelligence
consists of 3 sub-theories Compoenetial/analytical subtheory Experiential Subtheory (creative) Contextual subtheory
141
Compoenetial/analytical subtheory
metacognitiion our knowledge of o ur own intelligence better at remembering faces/names better at essay tests over MC easily distracted, knowing your own capabilities, taking it into account when trying to solve problems
142
Experiential Subtheory (creative)
A novelty of task = when we face a task we’ve never seen before - dealing with compelty new task - truck stuck under bride, decide to deflate tires Automatization of a task - stroop test - colors/reading word - people really fast at reading because of automatization - cognitive processing freed up space so we can automate more
143
Contextual subtheory
adapting - adapting to bigger classes in college, instead of small in HS, new ways to study, etc - Shaping - shape your environment, you study 9-10 pm, then I can play my video games - Selecting- something that fits them, selecting a new college
144
Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligence
at the start a little bit of biology mainstream view if your smart your smart, Gardner believed all abilities are independent Linguisitc, logico-mathmatical intellignece, musical intelligence, spatial intelligence, bodily kinesthetic, interpersonal intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence, Naturalists
145
Linguistic Intelligence
verbal intelligence word, language, writing, into things live poetry, don’t mind giving presentations like to read, like to be read to gravitate towards debate club explains things well good at word play, puns
146
Logico Mathematical Intelligence
good understanding of Piaget STEM good at problem solving, reasoning, recognizing patterns, think about numbers, relationships, engaged in empirical research, science fair scientist, mathematician, engineer
147
Musical Intelligence
like to sing babies like to dance manifest in young children baby “dancing: hear music that other pepople don’t hear music teacher, conductor, musician
148
Spatial Intelligence
good at visual spatial draw early will us the whole sand box drawn to artistic expression use whole paper like maps, charts artist, architect, engineer

Intrapersonal Intelligence
-goo dat being aware of there own personal feelings - people are very in touch with own reasons, reflection - understand why they are motivated - sometimes people will see them as daydreaming - introspective writer, philosopher, type of scientist
151
Divergent thinking
creative solutions, would want this with some type of cancer, unique solutions
152
Naturalistic Intelligence
very interested in natural world in tune with nature, very interested, exploring environment, thrive in outdoors dinosaur kids biologist, conservationist, believes biological for everything
153
Convergent thinking
thinking one way this is needed with broken bones
154
Mastery oriented Attributions
focus on process, learning for learning, sake not focused on grades, rewards, tends to believe you can try harder
155
Performance Oriented attribution
focus on outcomes, like grades, do something well, not something they can change, critique of our school system we focus on this, token economy, plastic coins with different values
156
Learned Helplessness
based dog learning task, placed in a skinner box yolked together if they hop over the wall environment changes, floor of cage would give electrical shock only matters if dog A jumps and drags B separated into a new boxes Dog A learnes moving lever fixes problem Dog B lays down because nothing it does matters parents can contribute to this with conversations concern with performance oriented tasks
157
Sociometric Status (Peer Acceptance)
nomination method” who do you want to play with, sit with, go over to there house game up with popular, controversial, neglected, rejected Popular kids = lots and lots of likes, want to sit with them Rejected Kids = lots of dislikes Controversial Kids = get likes and dislikes, sometimes class clow Neglected Kids = don’t get mentioned, NO likes or dislikes, forgotten Average Children = get some likes and dislikes but not many
