FMST 210 Midterm II Flashcards
MIDTERM II
Jean Piaget’s Basic Principles
- Assimilation
- Accommodation
- Eq’m
- Diseq’m
- Schemes
- Assumptions
Children are scientists
- new experiences into theory
- theories modify based on experience
- assimilate experiences into theories (search) 4 comfort
- more accommodation b/c discomfort –> replace old theories
- created thru eq’m
- move thru 4 stages
Piaget: Sentorimotor stage (birth - 2 yrs)
-Limitations ?
“think w/ eyes, ears, hands & sensory equipment”
-does not search for hidden objects
Piaget: Preoperational stage (2- 6 yrs)
-Limitations: Egocentrism, Centration, Conservation task
symbolic representation (pictures, make belief)
- Egocentrism: difficult to see in other’s POV
- Centration: tunnel vision (narrow)
- Conservation task: #’s, length, mass, l, weight, etc
Piaget: Concrete Operational Stage (7-11 yrs)
Limitation?
use mental operations to solve problems (ie. mom+dad= parents)
- Decentration (change in 1 compensated by another)
- Reversibility
Concrete thinking; NOT abstract
Piaget: Formal Operations (11+ yrs)
-define deductive reasoning
Thinking abstractly, hypothetically
- draw conclusions from facts
Criticism on Piaget (5)
- underestimates child’s cognitive competence & overestimates adolescence
- vague about change/mechanism
- simple bias
- doesn’t consider sociocultural environment
- doesn’t account variation of child’s performance
Principles before ZPD; identify the following:
- Development precedes learning
- Learning and development cannot be separated
- Learning and development ARE separated, but interactive
- Constructivism
- Behaviorism
- Gestaltism
Vygotsky - Sociocultural Perspective (2)
*Assisted discovery
- Children are products of their culture (interaction between social & cultural cannot be separated)
- Development is an apprenticeship (learn from skilled ppl, language is key)
Sociocultural P. Techniques (Peer Collaboration)
- Intersubjectively
- Guided Participation
- Mutual/shared understanding (ex. puzzle)
- Cognitive growth involve interactions w/ skilled people (ex. video games)
ZPD
Vygotsky - sociocultural p.
-Difference between what child can do ALONE and can do with HELP
ZPD Techniques:
- Scaffolding
- Private Speech
- Teaching match w/ required assistance
- talking to self = regulate behavior (inner speech/ thoughts when skilled)
What is reciprocal teaching? (4 steps)
Gain better understanding / peer collaboration
1) Q’ing
2) summarize
3) Clarify
4) Predicting
Criticism on Vygotsky (3)
- over emphasize language
- ignore biological factors
- vague about cognitive process change over t
Language Define the following terms: -phonology -morphology -schematics -syntax -pragmatics
- phonology: sounds of language
- morphology: rules/meaning
- schematics: study of words/meaning
- syntax: rules that specify combination of words in sentence
- pragmatics: how ppl. use language to communicate effectively
Phonemes ( building block of langauge)
unique sounds -> identify via: stress patterns, statistics, knowledge of how sounds are used
First step to speech (3)
First words @ age ___
Cooing (a,e,i,o,u) -> babbling -> babbling w/ pitch
1 yr
Fast Mapping
learn word meaning rapidly (don’t consider all meanings)
Grammar
- powerful cognitive skill detect in _________
- _______ context of interaction
- there is a __________
- learn ________
- environment
- communication
- critical period
- readily
How to encourage word learning? (5)
- speak w/ frequently (not AT them)
- name objects that focus child’s attention
- read books & ask open ended Q’s
- interactive (eg. sesame street) -> watch w/ adults
- bilingual child learn languages rapidly as monolingual (+) in other language skills
Broca’s area (Left frontal cortex) is active in ______.
combination of words into meaningful sentences
Using Languages to communicate (Encourage learning)
- Taking Turns
- Speaking Effectively
- Listening Well
- Taking Turns: develop patience, comprehension skills
- Speaking Effectively: adj speech (age, needs, context), understand when listener misunderstands
- Listening Well: preschoolers cannot detect ambiguities, likely to believe confusing statements due2 TRUST, implied context NOT easy to understand
*sarcasm, irony, cynicism slowly develops
Signed Language
- develop same way as spoken
- critical period for learning ASL
- gestures > spoken language
