Lecture 3C

Question 1

Process of organizing and interpreting sensory information, enabling us to recognize meaningful objects and events

Answer 1

Perception

Question 2

All mental activities associated with thinking, knowing, remember and communicating

Answer 2

Cognition

Question 3

What are the 3 fundamental processes of cognition?

Answer 3

Storing information, categorizing stored information, creating mental images of objects

Question 4

Cognition develops through a series of qualitatively distinct stages

Answer 4

Piagetian Theory

Question 5

Mental abilities (adding, subtracting, categorizing, mental rotation, separating, organize things mentally, combining, reversing)

Answer 5

Mental operations

Question 6

Giving meaning to objects, allows infants to categorize objects

Answer 6

Scheme

Question 7

Basic sucking, grasping, rooting, looking are reflexive in nature, infants driven to employ schemes, purely perceptive

Answer 7

Reflex stage

Question 8

When is the reflex stage?

Answer 8

0-1 months

Question 9

1st acquired adaptation initial responses are chance then repeated by the infant; focused on self indent external world, scheme not purely reflexive

Answer 9

Primary circular reactions

Question 10

When is the primary circular reactions phase?

Answer 10

1-4 months

Question 11

Involves baby with an object or another person, acting to reproduce effect, making interesting sights last, greater interest in environmental consequence of action

Answer 11

Secondary circular reactions

Question 12

When is the secondary circular reactions phase?

Answer 12

4-8 months

Question 13

Start applying multiple schemes to same object, start applying one scheme in service to another, actions are goal directed

Answer 13

Coordination of secondary schemes

Question 14

When is the coordination of secondary schemes?

Answer 14

8-12 months

Question 15

Take independent and varied actions to people actively discover the properties of people and objects, new means through active experimentation establish cognitive structures

Answer 15

Tertiary circular reactions

Question 16

When is the tertiary circular reactions phase?

Answer 16

12-18 months

Question 17

Establish representational abilities, form image of the world when not available to senses, mental trial and error

Answer 17

Final stage

Question 18

When is final stage?

Answer 18

18-24 months

Question 19

Knowing that objects exist as separate entities, independent of our actions and perception, recognition that self is an object among objects

Answer 19

Object concept/Permanence

Question 20

More tuned into self, fail to demonstrate visual tracking

Answer 20

Stage 1 and 2

Question 21

Beginnings of object concept, more tuned into objects, extending search for object along a trajectory, but if object is hidden, it doesn’t know it exists

Answer 21

Stage 3

Question 22

Improved object concept, actively search for hidden objects, A not B error

Answer 22

Stage 4

Question 23

Hide object in location A and B, but looks under A and won’t look under B even though they saw the person hide it under B

Answer 23

A not B error

Question 24

More complete object concept, searching where object was last seen, but when journey to hiding place is not visible infant will fail to find object

Answer 24

Stage 5

Question 25

True object concept, objects exist for infants as independent entities, exhaustively search, mentally represent objects and their displacement

Answer 25

Stage 6

Question 26

How does an infant show true object concept?

Answer 26

Exhaustively searching
