1. Schemas/schemes 2. Adaptation 3. Stages of Cognitive Development
118
These are the building blocks of knowledge. _______ are mental organizations that individuals use to understand their environments and designate action.
Schemes (Piaget's Cognitive Theory)
119

2. Adaptation
120
They reflect the increasing sophistication of the child's thought process.
3. Stages of Cognitive Development
121
According to Piaget, the knowledge children acquire is organized into _______ (_______) or groupings of similar actions or thoughts. Over time, these _______ may change, but they provide an important base level of information about particular events, objects, and information.
schemas (scheme)
122
Jean Piaget describes two processes used by the individual in his/her attempt to adapt - _______ and ______
assimilation and accommodation.
123

Jean Piaget
124
__________ is the application of previous concepts to new concepts. For example, a child who was just learned the word "fish," shouts "fish!" upon seeing one.
Assimilation (Jean Piaget)
125
__________ happens when people encounter completely new information or when existing ideas are challenged. For example, a child knows dogs and cats. At school, he/she learns the word "animals." The child will then adjust her understanding that dogs and cats are both animals. People often have to form a new schema or alter existing mental categories to accommodate new information.
accommodation
126
In the "Stages of Cognitive Development," Piaget theorized that children progress through 4 stages and that they all do so in the same order. Enumerate
- Sensorimotor - 0-2 - Preoperational - 2-7 - Concrete Operations - 7-11 - Formal Operations - 12+
127
The child learns by doing: looking, touching, sucking. The child also has a primitive understanding of cause-and- effect relationships. Object permanence appears around 9 months.
- Sensorimotor - 0-2
128
The child uses language and symbols, including letters and numbers. Egocentrism is also evident. Conservation marks the end of the preoperational stage and the beginning of concrete operations.
- Preoperational - 2-7
129
The child demonstrates conservation, reversibility, serial ordering, and a mature understanding of cause-and- effect relationship. Thinking at this stage is still concrete.
- Concrete Operations - 7-11
130
The individual demonstrates abstract thinking at this stage is still concrete.
- Formal Operations - 12+
131
Psychologist, author, and professor, _______ ________ (1999) detailed the emergence of self-concept and asserted that the broad developmental changes observed across early childhood, later childhood, and adolescence could be interpreted within Piagetian framework.
Dr. Susan Harter
132
- Psychologist, author, and professor, Dr. Susan Harter (1999) detailed the emergence of self-concept and asserted that the broad developmental changes observed across early childhood, later childhood, and adolescence could be interpreted within _____ _____-
Piagetian framework.
133
Harter expanded her self-development concept until adulthood. The development of self-concept according to Harter is as follows:
1. Early childhood 2. Middle to later childhood 3. Adolescence 4. Emerging adults
134
The child describes the "self" in terms of concrete, observable characteristics, such as physical attributes ("I'm pretty/ugly/strong"), material possessions ("I have lots of toys"), behaviors ("I love playing with my toys"), and preferences ("I like candies").
1. Early childhood
135
The self is described in terms of trait like constructs (e.g., smart, honest, friendly, shy) that would require the type of hierarchical organizational skills characteristic of logical thought development.
2. Middle to later childhood
136
According to Harter, this is the emergence of more abstract self- definitions, such as inner thoughts, emotions, attitudes, and motives. For example, one 15-year-old girl in a study on self- conceptions described herself as follows: "What am I like as a person? Complicated! I'm sensitive, friendly, outgoing, popular, and tolerant though I can also be shy, self-conscious, even obnoxious... I'm a pretty cheerful person, especially with my friends.... At home, I'm more likely to be anxious around my parents" (Harter, 1990b, p. 352). The use of the abstract words sensitive, outgoing, cheerful, and anxious as self-portrait is consistent with Piaget's findings on the adolescent's ability to construct higher-order abstractions and the capacity for introspection (Harter, 1999).
3. Adolescence
137
The marked characteristic of "self" for emerging adults is having a vision of a "possible self." It is the "age of possibilities" (Amett, 2004a). In one Australian study (Whitty, 2002), early emerging adulthood (ages 17-22) was found to be a time of "grand dreams," of being wealthy and having a glamorous occupation, but beyond emerging adulthood (ages 28-33) the visions of a possible-self became more realistic, if still optimistic.
4. Emerging adults
138
- “The art of being wise is knowing what to overlook," cited by ______ _______ in his groundbreaking masterpiece, The Principles of Psychology, written in 1890.
William James
139
A figure commonly known as "the father of American psychology, philosopher, psychologist, and university professor, _______ _______ gave one of the earliest self-theory psychological analyses.
William James
140
- According to James (1950), the "self" has two elements: the _______ and ______
I-self and the Me-self.
141
_________ is the pure ego. It is the subjective self. It is the "self" that is aware of its own actions.
I-self
142
The I-self characteristically has four features. These are:
1. A sense of being the agent or initiator of behavior 2. A sense of being unique 3. A sense of continuity 4. A sense of awareness about being aware
143
I believe my actions have an impact; that I cause an effect in my environment.
1. A sense of being the agent or initiator of behavior
144
This is how I am different from everything in my environment; I perceive there is only one Me.
2. A sense of being unique
145
I am the same person from day to day.
3. A sense of continuity
146
I understand what is going on in me and around me; and I know I understand it.
