| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Theory of Mind | Piaget = problematic b/c it comb. 2 distinct cognitive skills = conservation (logic) and theory of mind (overcoming egocentrism) |
| Theory of Mind - Evidence | Cookie Jar Study = child watches another child hide cookie jar from mom -Findings: 3yr old says mom will look for jar where it is hidden -4/5 yr olds say mom will look for jar where it was originally |
| Theory of Mind - Conclusion | logical and theory of mind are distinct. preschoolers aquire theory of mind BEFORE they can conserve. appearance/reality, false belief, cookie jar not correlated with aquistion of logical thinking. |
| Information Processing - Claim | -Efficiency of processing information (operational efficiency) predicts cognitive skill better than thinking of mastering conservation tasks |
| Information Processing - Evidence | -chip tapping = working mem -reading comp = verbal wroking mem |
| Infromation processing - Conclusion | -abnility to hold more information in ones working memory explains not only why conservation occurs but why some ppl are better at learning scool related tasks like reading better. education tests measuring working mem so kids with learning disabbilites.. |
