Q

What are the four development stages of piaget’s?

A
  1. Sensorimotor- From birth to 2 years. Infants learn about their environment and develop early schemas which are concepts. By using all their senses to physically explore the world.
  2. pre-operational- form 2 to 7 years. children begin to control their environment by using symbolic behaviour including representational words and drawing and pretend play, but they are not able to think logically.
  3. concrete operational- from 7 to 11 children begin to use practical recourses to help them understand the world, such as counters for mathematics. They classify, categories and use logic to understand things they see.
  4. Formal operation- from 11 up to 18 years. Young people have the capacity for abstract thought, rational thought and problem solving
40
Q

What is piaget’s schematic development theory?

A

Accommodation: the child’s understanding (schema) changes to take account of the new experience.

Researched on his children, Piaget underestimated children’s abilities
Most children possess abilities at an earlier age then he believed

50
Q

What are some of the criticisms of Chomsky?
