| When new experiences fit into existing schemes it is called what? | assimilation |
| when schemes have to be modified as a consequence of new experiences, it is called what? | accommodation |
| What is required to benefit from experience? | assimilation |
| what allows for dealing with completely new data or experience? | accommodation |
| What is the balance between assimilation and accomodation called? | equilibrium |
| Disequilibrium occurs when there is more what? | accommodation then assimilation |
| How many times does equilibration occur in ones development? | 3 times |
| What are the 4 stages of cognitive development and what are the typical ages for each? | 1. sensorimotor period (0-2yrs) 2. peroperational period (2-7yrs) 3. concrete operational period (7-11yrs) 4. formal operational period (11yr and up) |
| Within the Sensorimotor period, what are the 4 phases that occur after and during 1 year of age? | 1. behaving intentionally (8-12mo) 2. object permanance (8-18mo) 3. experimenting (12-18mo) 4. using symbols (18-24mo) |
| The preoperational phase to Piaget's account includes these three key concepts. . . | 1. egocentrism 2. centration 3. appearance is reality |
| What experiment best demonstrates the concept of egocentrism in preoperational thinking? | the mountain experiments |
| What experiemtn best demonstrates the concept of centration in preoperational thinking? | the conservation experiemnts/problems |
| Lare gains are made in learning when students are allowed to discover what? | their own errors and inconsistencies |
| What are 3 alternate explanations(downfalls) for performance during the preoperational phase in Piaget's theory | 1. language development 2. poor memory 3. locomotor skills |
| Is Piaget's theory consistent in performance? | no |
| What is the study theat investigates the age at which children learn there is conflict between current understanding and the true nature of objects | naive physics - Piaget |
| When 4 year olds know that living things move, grow, and heal themselves, Piaget would call this. . . | naive biology |
| At what age can children differentiate between animate and inanimate objects? | 12-15mo |
| Information Processing theory involves that two things? | mental hardware and mental software |

| emotional and physical reactions to unfamiliar stimulus causes what? | orienting response |
| Habituation is the what of the reaction to a new stimulus? | lessening of the reaction |
| Are classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and imitation aspects of the information processing theory? | yes |

| at what age can children remember past events, forget them, but remember them again with cues? | 2-3mo |
| knowing that numbers differ in size and being able to tell which is greater | ordinality |
| This is when there is a name for each object counted | one to one principle |
| This is when numbered names must be counted in the same order | stable order principle |
| this is when the last number in a counting sequence denotes the number of objects | cardinality principle |
| Lev Vygotsky was intrested in cognitive development and what. . . | culture |
| Scaffolding involves giving . . . | just enough assistance |
| this is the difference between what children can do with and without help from a more experience guide | zone of proximal development |
| Vygotsky's theory of private speech states that private speech will become what? | internalized(inner speech) and then THOUGHT |
| the buliding blocks of speech | phonemes |
