✔✔Adaptation Process (2 of 3 components of Piagets theory) - ✔✔The transition from
one stage to another
-Equilibrium
-Assimilation

✔✔sensorimotor stage (Stage 1: 0-2 years) - ✔✔-Infant interacts with the world
primarily through the senses and actions he or she can perform on objects. They don't
have the ability yet to represent objects or people to themselves mentally.
-world is based upon what the infant can see and act upon at the moment.
✔✔circular reaction (1 of 3 stages of sensorimotor) - ✔✔an infant's repetition of a
reflexive action that results in a pleasurable experience
✔✔object permanence (2 of 3 stages of sensorimotor) - ✔✔Infants do not know that An
object exist if they cannot, see, feel, hear, smell, or tasted.
3later as memory abilities improve infants begin to develop object permanence
✔✔Symbolic thought and Language Development (3of 3 stages of sensorimotor) -
✔✔They can start separating reality and imagination, symbols, words to represent ideas
Both a social and mental skill involves physical development.
✔✔preoperational stage (Stage 2: 2-6 years) - ✔✔The child can now represent things to

categorize in groups.

substances.
-at one point during manufacturing the substance used is not fibrous state.
Cellulosic: Rayon, triacetate and acetate
Non-cellulosic: 20 with generic names
✔✔Filament Yarns - ✔✔Are made by twisting together several strands of fiber
-fabric made from these yarn has a smooth lustrous surface.
✔✔spun yarns - ✔✔Produced by twisting many stable fibers together
-fabrics made from these have a fuzzy surface
✔✔Single ply yarns - ✔✔Most fabrics are made from these
✔✔primary colors - ✔✔red, yellow, blue, cant be made by mixing ither colors together
✔✔secondary colors - ✔✔orange, green, violet, they are made by mixing equal parts of
any 2 primary colors
✔✔Teritary - ✔✔-Are those between the secondary and primary colors on the CW.
-Essential role in harmony
-one primary and one secondary
Ex: yellow-green, blue-green
✔✔Hue - ✔✔The basic color identity or the specific name of a color such as red, blue or
green
-does not imply color purity
✔✔Value - ✔✔-The lightness or darkness of a color in reaction to Black or White.
-Value of the color depends on the amount of light the color reflects
-white added=tint, black added= shade
✔✔Tones - ✔✔Formed by adding both black and white to a hue. A tone can also be
formed by adding some if the colors direct compliment.
✔✔Intensity of color - ✔✔-The degree of brightness, dullness,strength, or weakness of
a color.
-describes the degree of purity or strength

✔✔warm colors - ✔✔red, orange, yellow
-They give a feeling of activity and movement.
Aka advancing colors because they make objects appear closer or larger.
✔✔Formal balance - ✔✔-When a design is exactly the same on both sides, orderly
feeling
-Symmetrical balance, equal weight on equal sides of central, identical objects
✔✔informal balance - ✔✔asymmetrical, placing different but equivalent designs in
wither side of a central point

way the space is divided.
-space relationships
