Q

Consequences of malnutrition

A
  • damages brain, affecting attention span and learning: quiet, express little interest, very lethargic to conserve energy

Q

Stages of brain development

A
  1. Zygote: neural plate folds into lobe, produces neurons at 10 weeks
  2. 28 weeks: virtually contains all neurons it will ever have
  3. Synaptic pruning soon after, at 1 year synapses peak
  4. Axons and dendrites form
    - neuroplasticity important for development
    - stimulus, experience, required for specialization

Q

Sensorimotor period

A

0-2yo

  1. Adapting to and exploring environment: 1-4mo experience modify reflexes. 8mo onset of deliberate behavior. Using an action to achieve a goal. 12 mo active experimenters
  2. Understanding object or object permanence: 8+mo limited understanding, 18 mo full understanding
  3. Using symbols: talking and gestures, pretend play. 18mo.
26
Q

Preoperational thinking

A

2-6yo

  1. Egocentrism: child believes that all people see the world as s/he does
  2. Centration: child focuses on one aspect of a problem or situation but ignores other relevant aspects
  3. Appearance as reality: child assumes that an object is what it appears to be
27
Q

Problems with piaget’s theory

A
  1. Underestimates cognitive competency of children and overestimates that of adolescents
  2. Vague concerning processes of change
  3. Does not account for variablility in children’s performances
  4. Undervalues the influence of sociocultural environment on cognitive development
28
Q

Core knowledge hypothesis

A

Infants are born with rudimentaryy knowledge of the world, which is elaborated based on experiences

29
Q

Mental hardware

A

Mental and neural structures that are built in and allow the mined to operate

30
Q

Mental software

A

Mental programs that are the basis for performing particular tasks

31
Q

Attention

A

Processes that determine which information is processed further by an individual

32
Q

Orienting response

A

An individual views a strong or unfamiliarr stimulus, and changes in heart rate and brain-wave activity occcur

33
Q

Habituation

A

Becoming unresponsive to a stimulus that is presented repeatedly

34
Q

Classical conditioning

A

Neutral stimulus elicits a response that was originally produced by another stimulus

35
Q

Operant conditioning

A

Focuses on the relation between the consequences of behavior and the likelihood that the behavior will recur

36
Q

Memory

A
  1. Events from past are remembered (days)
  2. Over time, the event is no longer recalled (weeks)
  3. Cue prompts memory
37
Q

Autobiographical memory

A

Refers to people’s memory of significant events and experiences of their own lives

  • sense of self
  • language skills
  • basic memory skills
  • *forced recall but no leading. Open ended questions
38
Q

Learning number skills

A
  1. One-to-one: there must be one number name for each object (123a)
  2. Stable order principle: number names must be counted in same order consistently (though not always correct) (1256)
  3. Cardinality principle: last number denotes the number of objects and is said louder and repeated (124FOUR)
39
Q

Zone of proximal development

A

The difference between what children can do with assistance and what they can do alone
