Set 6- Piaget's Cognitive Behavioral Theory
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development | Key Ideas- Children actively build knowledge by interacting with their environment through senses and movement. |
| Piaget's Theory Stage 1 occurs at ages | birth to 2 years |
| Stage 1-Sensorimotor | Children develop object permanence during this stage |
| Object permanence | realizing objects still exist even when they cannot be seen |
| Stage 1-Sensorimotor | During this Piaget stage, thinking is based on interactions not reasoning |
| Piaget's Theory Stage 2 occurs at ages | ages 2 to 7 years |
| Piaget's Theory Stage 2 states | Key Ideas- Children develop symbolic thinking but have limited logic. Use pretend language and pretend play. |
| Stage 2-Preoperational | Piaget's Theory Stage in which thinking is egocentric |
| Preoperational | Piaget's Theory Stage 2 is known as |
| Centration | Focusing on one feature at a time |
| Stage 2-Preoperational | Centration occurs in this stage |
| Concrete Operational | Piaget's Theory Stage 3 is known as |
| ages 7-11 | Piaget's Theory Stage 3 occurs at ages |
| During Piaget's Theory Stage 3 | Key Ideas- Think logically about concrete objects, understand conservation, classify and organize information. Thinking is still not abstract or hypothetical |
| Piaget's Theory Stage 4 is known as | Formal Operational |
| around age 12 | Piaget's Theory Stage 4 occurs around ages |
| During Piaget's Theory Stage 4 | Key Ideas-Abstract and hypothetical reasoning, thinking about the future, solve complex problems, develop metacognition |
| Metacognition | The ability to think or regulate one's own thinking |
| Schema | Mental frameworks for understanding the world |
| Assimilation | Adding new information to an existing schema |
| Accommodation | Changing schema when new information doesn't fit |
| Equilibrium | Balancing assimilation and accommodation to learn |
| Reason's for Piaget's Theory in the classroom | Students must be developmentally ready for certain concepts. Teachers must match instruction to cognitive readiness. |
| Stage 3- Concrete Operational | Hands-on learning is critical at this Piaget Stage |
| Smart People Can Fly- Sensorimotor, Preoperational, Concrete Operational, Formal Operational | Mnemonic for Piaget's Stages |
| Object Permancence | Object permanence describes a child's ability to know that objects continue to exist even though they can no longer be seen or heard |
| Egocentrism | the tendency to view the world only from your own perspective and to have difficulty understanding or considering the viewpoints, feelings, or needs of others. |
| Reversibility | the ability to understand that actions can be reversed, returning an object or situation to its original state. |
