Jean Piaget - correct answer ✔Four stage theory of cognitive development:
1. sensorimotor, 2. preoperational, 3. concrete operational, and 4. formal
operational. He said that the two basic processes work in tandem to achieve
cognitive growth-assimilation and accomodation
Assimilation - correct answer ✔occurs when we modify or change new
information to fit into our schemas.
Accommodation - correct answer ✔when we restructure of modify what we
already know (schemas) so that new information can fit in better.
Schema - correct answer ✔Images/ideas in head that we already know.
Includes both a category of knowledge and the process of obtaining that
knowledge. As experiences happen, this new information is used to modify,
add to, or change previously existing schemas.
Piaget's stages of cognitive development - correct answer ✔Sensorimotor,
preoperational, concrete operational, formal operational
Sensorimotor - correct answer ✔in Piaget's theory, the stage (from birth to
about 2 years of age) during which infants know the world mostly in terms of
their sensory impressions and motor activities
Sensorimotor - Reflex Acts - correct answer ✔The first month of an infant's
life where they act reflexively. (Ex. If you brush over a babies mouth with your
finger they will suck instinctively)
,Sensorimotor - Primary Circular Reactions - correct answer ✔Actions for the
babies (1-4 months) pleasurable stimulation (Ex. kicking legs, sucking thumb,
and wiggling fingers)
Sensorimotor - Secondary Circular Reactions - correct answer ✔Babies from
4-8 months repeat pleasurable actions with their own bodies and objects (Ex.
An infant shaking a rattle because they like the sound)
Sensorimotor - Co-ordinating Secondary Schemes - correct answer ✔A baby
from 8-12 months uses their acquired knowledge of actions that they like to
reach a goal (Ex. babies will move an object out of the way to reach a rattle
that they like)
Sensorimotor - Tertiary Circular Reactions - correct answer ✔Intentional
adaptations to specific situations. (Ex. can take apart AND put objects back
together - blocks and nesting cups)
Sensorimotor - Symbolic Thought - correct answer ✔Can form mental
representations of objects that are not actually present (Ex. Object
Permanence)
Preoperational - correct answer ✔in Piaget's theory, the stage (from about 2
to 6 or 7 years of age) during which a child learns to use language but does
not yet comprehend the mental operations of concrete logic
Concrete operational - correct answer ✔in Piaget's theory, the stage of
cognitive development (from about 6 or 7 to 11 years of age) during which
children gain the mental operations that enable them to think logically about
concrete events
, Formal operations - correct answer ✔in Piaget's theory, the stage of
cognitive development (normally beginning about age 11) during which people
begin to think logically about abstract concepts
Lev Vygotsky - correct answer ✔child development; investigated how culture
& interpersonal communication guide development; zone of proximal
development; play research
Zone of proximal development - correct answer ✔Learning occurs in the
zone of proximal development: the space or zone where children's learning
and development takes place at one end of the ZPD.
Scaffolding - correct answer ✔the support for learning and problem solving
that encourages independence and growth
Howard Gardner - correct answer ✔Gardner proposed the theory of multiple
intelligences. He believed that humans possess not just one but many forms
of intelligence
Gardener's Intelligences - correct answer ✔Linguistic intelligence, Logical
mathematical intelligence, Musical intelligence, Body kinesthetic intelligence,
Spacial intelligence, Interpersonal intelligence, Intrapersonal intelligence,
Naturalistic intelligence
Linguistic intelligence - correct answer ✔skills involved in the production and
use of language
Logical mathematical intelligence - correct answer ✔Number/reasoning
smart
