  • Once a behaviour happens use a reinforcement or a punishment to increase or decrease the likelihood of repeated behaviour
  • Includes positive and negative reinforcement
    e.g. getting ice-cream after getting good grades Negative reinforcement = When something is removed to increase the likelihood of a behaviour happening again (can be good or bad) e.g. not having to do chores for a week after getting good grades

29
Q

What is piaget’s cognitive stages theory

A

There are 4 stages of cognitive development. He argued that younger people aren’t less intelligent than adults but they think differently. There are qualitative and quantitative ways in which humans think differently as they age.

30
Q

what are the 4 major stages is piaget’s theory

A
  • sensorimotor
  • preoperational
  • concrete operations
  • formal operations
31
Q

what age is the sensorimotor stage

A

birth - 2 years

32
Q

What age is the preoperational stage

A

2-7

33
Q

What age is concrete operations

A

7-11

34
Q

What age is formal operations stage

A

11 yrs - through adulthood

35
Q

What is bronfenbrenner’s theory

A

There is a person functioning within a complex of different systems which range from different closeness to the individual. Interaction between these different systems and how it impacts an individual.
This model explains how various environmental factors interact and influence human development across the lifespan.

  • microsystem
  • mesosystem
  • exosystem
  • macrosystem
36
Q

What is Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory

A
  • Emphasizes social interaction in development
  • Zone of proximal development
    Emphasises social interaction in development. Through social interaction children will have a higher mental function.
37
Q

what is the zone of proximal development

A

how much more an individual can develop above their own capacity

38
Q

what is potential capacity

A

ZPD + child’s own capacity With social interaction an individual can achieve more than the individual own capacity.
