CHD 2220 Exam 2 FSU ACTUAL UPDATED QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
schemes organized ways of making sense of experiences; how you see and make sense of
the world
equilibrium when the child is not changing much (more assimilation than accommodation), a
state of cognitive balance. (Ex: a child sees a new dog breed and knows it's a dog
immediately)
, disequilibrium rapid cognitive change, cognitive discomfort or imbalance(shift from assimilation
to accommodation). New information doesn't fit existing schemas. Motivated
person to adapt schemas through accommodation (Ex: same child sees a cat for
the first time and calls it a dog)
object permanence the knowledge that objects continue to exist when they are out of sight
- kids can find a hidden object in the first location it was hidden (ex: toy under
blanket they'll realize it's there under blanket and not just disappeared)
zone of proximal development refers to the range of tasks the child cannot do alone but can do with help of a
more skilled partner. "Sweet spot"
scaffolding guidance and support while adjusting the level of support offered to fit the child's
current performance
- as the child's competence increases the adult steps back allowing the child to
take more responsibility
underextension applying words too narrowly (only their dog is a dog)
overextension applying words too broadly (all motor vehicles are cars)
according to the short video clip we watched in class - play along with children, set them up to play
what 2 things can/should adults do to support children's - then leave and let the child play themselves
play?
assimilation in building schemes use current schemes to interpret external world
accommodation in building schemes creating new schemes and adjusting old ones to better fit the environment
adaptation building schemes through direct interaction w environment
Piaget's sensorimotor substages - reflexive schemes
- primary circular reactions
- secondary circular reactions
- coordination of secondary circular reactions
- tertiary circular reactions
- mental representation
reflexive schemes stage birth-1 month
newborn reflexes
primary circular reactions stage 1-4 months (Body habits)
- simple motor habits centered around the infant's own body
- limited anticipation of events
secondary circular reactions stage 4-8 months (object focus)
actions aimed at repeating interesting effects in the surrounding world
- imitation of familiar behaviors
