Cognitive Development
What are the 3 components of cognitive development
Schemas, adaptation process that enable the transition from one stage to another
What are the types of schemas
Object schema, Person Schema, Social schema, Event Schema, Self Schema, Role Schema
What are the types of schemas
Object schema, Person Schema, Social schema, Event Schema, Self Schema, Role Schema
What are the Types of adoption process that enable the transition from one stage to another
Assimilation, Accomodations Equilibrium
Jean Piaget explains how a child constructs a….
Mental model of the world
Piaget Disagreed or agreed the idea that the intelligence was a fixed traits?
Disagreed
Piaget disagreed with the idea that intelligence was a fixed trait, and regarded
Cognitive Development as a process which occurs due to biological maturation and interaction with the environment.
Piaget theory focuses not only on understanding how children acquire knowledge, but also on
Understanding the nature of knowledge
This is the basic building blocks of such cognitive models, and enable us to form a mental representation of the world
Schema
These are “units” of knowledge, each relating to one aspect of the world, including objects, actions, and abstract
Schemas
It help us simplify our interactions with the world. They are mental shortcuts that can both help us and hurt us.
Schema
A schemas that help us understand and interpret inanimate objects, including what different objects are and how they work.
Object schema
It created to help us understand specific people, including the way the individual looks, the way they act, what they like and don’t like,
Person Schema
It is also called scripts, which encompass the sequence of actions and behaviors one expects during a given event.
Event Schema
A schemas that help us understand ourselves. They focus on what we know about who we are now, who we were in the past, and who we could be in the future.
Self Schema
A Schema which help us understand how to behave in different social situations.
Social Schema
A schemas which encompass our expectations of how a person in a specific social role will behave.
Role Schema
the process of applying the schemas we already possess to understand something new.
Assimilation
the process of changing an existing schema or creating a new one because new information doesn’t fit the schemas one already has.
Accomodations
to strike a balance between the use of assimilation and accommodation.
Equilibrium
What are the types of stages of cognitive development
Sensorimotor, Pre-operational, Cognitive Operational, Formal Operational
operational stage that people develop the ability to think about abstract concepts, and logically test hypotheses
Formal Operational
Operational stage that the child can work things out internally in their head (rather than physically try things out in the real world).
Concrete Operational
The main achievement during this stage is object permanence - knowing that an object still exists, even if it is hidden.
Sensorimotor
During this stage, young children can think about things symbolically. This is the ability to make one thing - a word or an object - stand for something other than itself.
Pre-operational
