25
piaget's four stages s/p/co/fo
sensorimotor (0-2) pre-operational (2-7) concrete operational (7-11) formal operational (11-)
26
reflexive schemes (0-6 weeks, sensorimotor)
newborn reflexes basis of sensorimotor intelligence, ex; sucking and grasping reflexes
27
primary circular reactions (1-4 months, sensori)
first learned adaptations, change behavior in response to demands and start doing shit on purpose, body focused actions. circular: actions are motivated by a need and then continue
28
secondary circular reactions (4-8 months, sensori)
actions are repeated that affect the environment, imitated actions are practiced
29
coordination of secondary circular reactions (8-12 months, sensori)
intentional, goal-oriented behavior, combining schemes to solve problems, action sequences physical causality: causal actions one object exerts on another through contact (ex; biting during breastfeeding) object permanence AB search errors: babies looks for an object only in hiding place A. Eventually they look to B, since they know it still must exist. hotly debated
30
violation of expectation tests (coordination of secondary circular reactions)
baby views a 'magical' event (ex; carrots) and kids as young as 2 months look longer at the magical event, indicating they know it shouldn't be happening/isn't possible logically.
31
tertiary circular reactions (12-18 months, sensori)
infant repeats actions with variation and explores their environment (dropping shit), experimentation leads to object permanence
32
mental combination (internalize schemes, 18-2 years, sensori)
mental representatives (internal images of absent objects and past events), make believe play, deferred imitation (ability to copy behavior of a model who isn't present, ex; ollie cursing), inferred imitation
33
displaced reference
realizing words can be used to cue images of things that physically present, 1 year
34
video deficit effect
poorer performance after watching a video than a live demonstration, ends around 2.5 years of age
35
core knowledge perspective
babies are born with core domains of thoughts/innate knowledge (physical, linguistic, psychological, numerical (3,2)), which is helpful to early rapid development
36
information processing occurs in 5 steps sr/stm/wm/ce/lt
sensory register: where info enters and is briefly stored short-term memory: retain attended-to information working memory: # of items that can be help in mind while being monitored/manipulated central executive: system that directs the flow of information long-term memory: permanent knowledge base, must be worked on.
37
automatic processes are:
well learned, take up no space in working memory and other things can be done simultaneously. ex; breathing
38
executive function
cognitive operations that let us achieve goals in cognitively challenging situations. measures of it in childhood can predict social outcomes like self control and academic performance
39
recognition vs. recall
noticing when a stimulus is identical/similar to a previous one remembering something that is not present
40
infantile amnesia
when self awareness increases, then amnesia drops. also involved with verbal memory
41
autobiographial memory
can recall personally meaningful one-time events from both recent and distant past
42
infant directed speech is typically: (3) hp/s/e
high pitched, short/clear sentences, exaggerated expressions
43
Bayley
cognitive language, motor, social emotional, adaptive behavior measures to conclude the infant's intelligence--DQ, developmental quotients, NOT IQs
44
HOME
home observation for measurement of the environment; checklist to gather info about the quality of a child's home life based on observation and parental interview
45
nativist theory of language vs. interactionist
it's etched into the brain. have a Language Acquisition Device, a universal understanding of grammar shared by kids inner capacity + environment
46
cooing vs. babbling
cooing: vowels with a pleasant 'oo', 2 months babbling: repeating consonant-vowel combinations, 6 months
47
joint attention
baby attends to the same object/event as their caregiver
48
under-extension vs. overextension in language development
under: kid uses words too narrowly (ex; only the stuffed animal is 'dog') over: kid uses words too broadly (ex; trucks and buses are 'car)
49
telegraphic speech
kid uses high content words, 2 at a time, and omit smaller, less important ones
50
referential vs. expressive style
r: toddlers' vocab is of words that refer to objects e: toddlers' vocab is of words that refer to social formulas and pronouns
51
centration (preop)
when problem solving, they focus on one aspect of a problem only
52
irreversibility (preop)
don't understand that logic is reversible
53
egocentrism (preop)
think of themselves as the center of the world, but not narcissism
54
intuitive reasoning (preop)
going with your gut, allows imagination to flourish
55
animism (preop)
giving lifelike attributes to inanimate objects (ex; teddy in the laundry)
56
semiotic function (preop)
use one thing to stand for something else
57
three mountains task (piaget)
put kids in front of a diorama with three distinct mountains. they move a teddy bear around at the other three angles and ask the kid what teddy is seeing. 3 year olds pick the photo of what they see, but as they get older they get better. can't yet coordinate spacial reasoning
58
conservation
taking something and changing appearance without changing value. only understood in concrete operational onwards.
59
concrete operational (piaget, 7-11 years)
kids understand logical reasoning, but only for things immediately in front of them conservation develops, coordination of spacial systems develops, decentration, reversibility, seriation, classification
60
seriation (concrete op)
to put things in order (ex; biggest to smallest)
61
classification (concop)
to classify things and understand you can classify things in multiple ways (ex; cats vs. animals)
62
formal operational (12+ years, piaget)
thinking logically like a scientist. hypothetical/propositional reasoning, reflective thinking. LIMITATIONS: imaginary audience (egocentrism spikes again and kids want to fit in bc they think eveyone's staring at them, bullying), personal fable (kids have an inner storyline of what they're doing, movie star mentality)
63
piaget's critiques
bias: scientific thinking is the ultimate and only way to think underestimated children (imitation and object permanence) overestimated children (logical tasks, can vary into adulthood, ex; cup task with 30/1000 men and 300/1000 women) favor males.
64
vygotsky's social constructionist approach
context is CRITICAL, we rely on social interactions with more skilled playmates, etc. sociogenesis: the presence and co-construction of out thoughts by others, we are socially mediated
65
vygotsky's 4 levels of development p/h/o/m
phylogenetic: how did we become human? historical: what tools did we have, and how did they influence us? ontogenetic: individual development--who was there when we grew up? microgenesis: development of an individual skill
66
ZPD (zone of proximal development)
what you can do alone vs. what you can do with help. NOT doing it for them, a NUDGE.
67
scaffolding and ZPD
the help you recieve
68
according to Vygotsky, language and ___________ are linked. Our language shapes our __________!
cognition, thought
69
according to Vygotsky, the ________ is more important than the product.
process
70
miller et. al (numbers)
chinese vs. american number naming systems. tested 3-5 year old kids. at 3 no difference, at 4 difference, at 5 it widens. 94/92 could count to 10 48/74 could count to 20 due to a lack of predictability in english.
71
vygotsky believes that motivation is enhanced by working with _______, _____________, and that ______________ learning is important.
others, apprenticeships, collaborative
72
vygotsky critiques
ZPD is ambiguous operational definitions suck ass
