Answer 6

TRUE

Question 7

Enumerate the Four Stages of Piaget’s Cognitive Development

Answer 7

SENSORIMOTOR
PRE-OPERATIONAL
CONCRETE OPERATIONAL
FORMAL OPERATIONAL

Question 8

• 0 to 24 months
• This stage focuses on the prominence of the senses and movement of the muscle which the infant can learn about himself and the world.
• Object Permanence

Answer 8

SENSORIMOTOR

Question 9

• 2 to 7 years old
• Intelligence at this stage is both intuitive and egocentric.
• The child can make mental representations and closer to the use of symbols.
• Language, memory and imagination are being developed.
• Symbolic Function

Answer 9

PRE-OPERATIONAL

Question 10

• 7 to 11 years old
• The child has the ability to think logically but only with the help of concrete objects
• Operational Thought

Answer 10

CONCRETE OPERATIONAL

Question 11

• Adolescence to Adulthood
• The child can solve abstract problems and can make hypotheses
• His thinking becomes more logical
• Abstract Concepts

Answer 11

FORMAL OPERATIONAL

Question 12

This is the ability of the child to know that an object still exists even when out of sight. This ability is attained in the sensory motor stage.

Answer 12

OBJECT PERMANENCE

Question 13

This is the ability to represent objects and events. A symbol is a thing that represents something else. A drawing, a written word, or a spoken word comes to be.

Answer 13

SYMBOLIC FUNCTION

Question 14

This is the tendency of the child to only see his point of view and assume that everyone also has his same point of view. The child cannot take the perspective of others.

Answer 14

EGOCENTRISM

Question 15

This refers to the tendency of the child to only focus on one aspect of a thing or event and exclude other aspects. For example, when a child is presented with two identical glasses with the same amount of water, the child will say they have the same amount of water.

Answer 15

CENTRATION

Question 16

Pre-operational children still have the inability to reverse their thinking. They can understand that 2 + 3 is 5, but cannot understand that 5-3 is 2.

Answer 16

IRREVERSIBILITY

Question 17

This is the tendency of children to attribute human-like traits or characteristics to inanimate objects.

Answer 17

ANIMISM

Question 18

This refers to the pre-operational child’s type of reasoning that is neither inductive nor deductive, Reasoning appears to be from particular to particular i.e., if A causes B, then B causes A. for example, since mommy comes home everyday around six o’clock in the evening, when asked why it is already night, the child will say, “because my mom is already home.”

Answer 18

TRANSDUCTIVE REASONING

Question 19

This refers to the ability of the child to perceive the different features of objects and situations. No longer is the child focused or limited to one aspect or dimension. This allows the child to be more logical when dealing with concrete objects and situations.

Answer 19

DECENTERING

Question 20

During the stage of concrete operations, the child can now follow that certain operations can be done in reverse.

Answer 20

REVERSIBILITY

Question 21

This is the ability to know the certain properties of objects like number, mass, volume, or area do not change even if there is a change in appearance.

Answer 21

CONSERVATION

Question 22

This is the ability to come up with different hypotheses about a problem and to gather and weigh data in order to make a final decision or judgement. This can be done in the absence of concrete objects. The individuals can now deal with “what it” questions.

Answer 22

HYPOTHETICAL REASONING

Question 23

This is the ability to perceive the relationship in one instance and then use their relationship to narrow down possible answers in another similar situation or problem. The individual in the formal operations stage can make an analogy.

Answer 23

ANALOGICAL REASONING

Question 24

This is the ability to think logically by applying a general rule to a particular instance or situation.

Answer 24

DEDUCTIVE REASONING

Question 25

What are the four (4) Basic Cognitive Concepts?

Answer 25

SCHEMA
ASSIMILATION
ACCOMODATION
EQUILIBRATION

Question 26

refers to the cognitive structures where individuals establish ways to understand or make meaning about something. Also, it is a means of adapting to and organizing their environment intellectually.

Answer 26

SCHEMA

Question 27

It is using an existing schema and applying it to a new situation or object. It is a process where individuals fit new experiences into the previously created structure.

Answer 27

ASSIMILATION

Question 28

It is the changing approaches when an existing schema doesn’t work in a particular situation. It is a process of creating a new schema which is somehow different from the previous ones.

Answer 28

ACCOMODATION

Question 29

The driving force that moves all development forward. It is how people understand how the world works and find order and structure.

Answer 29

EQUILIBRATION
