Q

Clear-cut attachment (phase 3 of attachment)

A
  • 6-8 months to 18 months-2 years
  • baby begins to display separation anxiety or become upset when caregiver leaves (does not always occur, this depends on infant temperament and situation)

Q

Formation of reciprocal relationship (phase 4 of attachment)

A
  • 18 months to 2 years and on

Q

What is an internal working model?

A

Internal working mode - a set of expectations about the availability of attachment figures and their likelihood of providing support in times of stress. It becomes a vital part of personality, serving as a guide for all future close relationships
* with age, children revise and expand their internal working model as their cognitive, emotional, and social capacities increase and as they interact with parents and form close bonds with adults/siblings/friends

Q

What are Erikson’s Psychosocial stages for each of the periods we have been studying? What are the conflicts associated with each?

A
  1. Basic Trust v. Mistrust (birth - 1 year) - from warm, responsive care, infants gains a sense of trust, or confidence, that the world is good. Mistrust occurs if infants are neglects or handled harshly, baby will protect themselves by withdrawing from ppl and things around her
  2. Autonomy v. Shame and Doubt (1-3 years) - parents can foster autonomy by permitting reasonable free choice and not forcing or shaming the child. Success leads to feelings of autonomy and independence, while failure leads to feelings of shame & doubt, this can happen if parents are too under/over controlling or set the bar too high
  3. Initiative v. Guilt (3 to 6 years) - Initiative — a sense of ambition and responsibility — develops when parents support their child’s sense of purpose. If parents demand too much self-control, children experience excessive guilt

Q

What are Thomas and Chess’s temperament classifications?

A
  1. The easy child (40% of the sample) -
    Quickly establishes regular routines in infancy, is generally cheerful, and adapts easily to new experiences
  2. The Difficult Child (10% of the sample) - is irregular in daily routines, is slow to accept new experiences, and tends to react negatively and intensely
    - is also at high risk for adjustment problems — both anxious withdrawal and aggressive behavior in early and middle childhood
  3. The slow-to-warm-up child (15% of the sample) is inactive, shows mild/low-key reactions to environment stimuli, is negative in mood, and adjusts slowly to new experiences
    - show excessive fearfulness and slow, constricted behavior in the late preschools years when expected to respond actively and quickly

Q

How are secondary emotions different from primary emotions?

A

Primary emotions (or basics emotions) - happiness, interest, surprise, fear, anger, sadness, and disgust — are universal in humans and have a long evolutionary history of promoting survival (happiness, anger, sadness, and fear are the four basic emotions)

Secondary emotions (self-consciousness emotions or societal emotions) - appear in month 18-24 months, they involve injury to or enhancement of our sense of self
- shame, embarrassment, guilt, envy, pride
- these emotions are guided by adults, adults let child know when to feel shame, guilt, embarrassment, etc

Q

What theory of attachment recognizes the infant’s emotional tie to caregiver as an evolved response that promotes survival?

A

The Ethological Theory of Attachment

Q

Describe the three mountain task

A
  • Each mountain is distinguished by its color and by its summit. One has a red cross, another a small house, and the third a snow-capped peak. Children at the preoperational stage respond egocentrically. They cannot select a picture that shows the mountains from the doll’s perspective. Instead, they simply choose the photo that reflects their own vantage point
  • the most convincing demonstration of egocentrism
32
Q

Define conservation

A

Conservation refers to the idea that certain physical characteristics of objects remain the same, even when they’re outward appearance changes
* when you poor water in a tall/slim glass into a short/wide glass, the amount of water still remains the same
* children have a difficult time with this idea

33
Q

According to Piaget, what are the limitations of pre-operational thought?

A
  • the most fundamental deficiency of preoperatiinal thought is egocentrism (failure to distinguish others symbolic viewpoints from one’s own)
  • inability to conserve
  • centration (focusing on one aspect of a situation, neglecting other important features)
  • irreversibility (an inability to mentally go through a series of steps in a problem and then reverse direction, returning to starting point)
34
Q

What is egocentric speech?

A
  • now called private speech
  • self-directed speech that children use to plan and guide their behavior
  • When a child talks to themselves, usually well engaged in an activity or event, without attempting to communicate with others
35
Q

What is Vygotskys view in private speech?

A

Vigotsky disagreed with Piaget on private speech. He believes that children speak to themselves for self-guidance. As they get older the speech is internalized as silent, “inner speech”
* vigotsky refers to egocentric speech as private speech
* children who freely use private speech during a challenging activity or more attentive and involved and perform better than their less talkative age mates

36
Q

Scaffolding

A

Scaffolding refers to adjusting the support offered during a teaching session to fit the child’s current level of performance
* when the child has little notion of how to proceed, the adult uses direct instruction, breaking the task into manageable units and suggesting strategies. As the child’s competence increases, effective scaffolders gradually and sensitively, withdraw support, turning over responsibility to the child.

37
Q

Guided participation

A
  • a broader concept than scaffolding
  • shared endeavors between more expert and less expert participants, without specifying the precise features of communication, thereby allowing for variations across situations and cultures
38
Q

Zone of proximal development

A
  • Area where a person who is trying to learn something can accomplish it without the help of a mentor
  • make-believe play is a unique broadly influential zone of proximal development in which children try out a wide variety of challenging activities and acquire many new competencies
  • Private speech is also important to zone of proximal development
39
Q

What does the information processing approach focus on during early childhood?

A

Information processing focuses on cognitive operations and mental strategies that children use to transform stimuli flowing into their mental system
* attention
* memory
* theory of Mind (tested with false belief test)
* emerging literacy
* mathematical

40
Q

Recognition VS recall memory

A

Recognition: ability to tell whether he stimulus is the same or as similar to one they have seen before (4 and 5 year olds perform nearly perfectly)
Recall: generating a mental image of an absent stimulus
Recall is poorer than recognition in young children

41
Q

What is script?

A

General descriptions of what occurs in when it occurs any particular situation, used to organize and interpret routine experiences
* scripps help children, organize and interpret routine experiences
* scripts can be used to predict what will happen in the future
* children rely on scripts and make believe play, and when listening to and telling stories
* script support children’s planning by helping them represent sequences of actions that lead to desired goals

42
Q

* by asking deep rooted questions rather than just repetitive ones

43
Q

Define metacognition?

45
Q

What are child centered preschools all about?

A

In child centered programs, teachers provide activities from which children select, and much learning takes place through play

In contrast, in academic preschools, teachers, structure, children’s learning, teaching letters, numbers, colors, shapes, and other academic skills through formal lessons, often using repetition and drill

46
Q

Overextension of regular grammatical rules to words that are exceptions
Examples:
“My car BREAKED” or “We each got two FOOTS”

47
Q

Define pragmatics

A

The practical, social side of language, concerned with how to engage in effective and appropriate communication

48
Q

What are recasts and expansions?

A

Adults generally provide indirect feedback about grammar by using two strategies, often in combination.
1: Recasts - restructuring in accurate speech into correct form
2. Expansions - elaborating on children’s speech, increasing its complexity
Example: child says “red car” and you say “big red car”

49
Q

What are false belief tests? How are they done?

A

A way to assess a child’s ability to understand that others may have different beliefs and perspectives than themselves
* unmarked bandaid box test

50
Q

Guided participation vs scaffolding

A

Guided participation is when we assist our students as they perform adult like activities. Scaffolding is when adults and other more competent individuals provide some form of guidance or structure that enables children to perform tasks at their zone of proximal development.

51
Q

What is the negative outcome of early childhood (according to Erickson)?

A

For Erickson, the negative outcome of early childhood is an overly strict conscience, or super ego, that causes children to feel too much guilt because they have been threatened, criticize, and punished excessively by adults

* elaborate parent-child conversations about personally experienced events that focus on children’s thoughts, feelings, and subjective experiences play an especially important role in early self-concept

53
Q

What is an important motivator of prosocial behavior?

A

Empathy serves as a motivator if prosocial behavior or altruistic behavior (actions that benefit another person without any expected reward for the self)

54
Q

Associative VS cooperative VS parallel play

A

Mildred Parten concluded that social development proceeds in a three-step sequence

No social activity: unoccupied, onlooker behavior, solitary play

Parallel play: child plays near other children with similar materials but does not try to influence their behavior

Social Interaction:
1. Associative play: children engage in separate activities but exchange toys and comment on one another’s behavior

  1. Cooperative play: a more advanced type of interaction, children orient toward a common goal, such as acting out a make-believe theme
55
Q

Describe children’s friendships in early childhood…

A

Friendship does not yet have a long-term, enduring quality based on mutual trust
* Nevertheless, friendships can be remarkably stable as long as peers remain in same social group
* Interactions between friends are especially positive, reflecting greater support and intimacy than do other peer relationships
* friendships change frequently

56
Q

What do various theories say about the development of moral behaviors?

A

All theories of moral development recognize that conscience begins to take shape in early childhood. And most agree that at first, the child’s morality is externally controlled by adults and gradually becomes regulated by inner standards.

Freud Psychoanalytic Theory: stresses emotional side of conscience development — in particular, identification and guilt as motivators of good conduct
* children obey superego to avoid guilt, a painful emotion that arises each time they misbehave
* in his theory, fear of punishment and loss of parental love motivate conscience behavior

Social Learning Theory: moral behavior is acquired through modeling
* helpful or generous models at a young age increases young children’s prosocial responses

Cognitive Developmental Perspective: emphasizes thinking — children’s ability to reason about justice and fairness
* children as active thinkers about social rules

57
Q

What do we know about frequent and harsh punishment?

A
  • Frequent punishment promotes immediate compliance but not lasting changes in behavior
  • harsh punishment can lead to the development of serious lasting problems such as depression, aggressions, antisocial behavior, poor academic performance in childhood. And depression, alcohol abuse, criminality, health issues, and family violence in adulthood
  • it models aggression
  • induces sense of being threatened which leads children to focus on own distress rather than responding sympathetically to others
  • causes children to avoid punitive parent
  • can spiral into serious abuse
  • can transfer to next generation
  • is elevated among less educated, economically disadvantaged parents and conflict ridden marriages as well as parents with mental health problems
58
Q

What are strategies of positive discipline?
