Q

Why is the significance of categorical thinking implied by Object Hierarchies relevant

A

Because they mean that by ~3 kids are able to think about more than one thing, which Piaget said they couldn’t until operational stage (~5)

Q

What is ‘nativist’ versus ‘empiricist’ models of childhood understanding (of say, biology)

A

nativist is evolutionary, in the sense that we are born with a ‘biology module’

Empiricists - more a blank slate idea, and the kids understanding builds up from personal observations and info they receive

Q

According to ‘core knowledge’ theorists, systems are limited in three ways. Name them

Q

Children divide the world of objects into three categories. What are they?

A
  1. inanimate objects
