Test 2 “Infant’s cognitive development” Chapter 3
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is Piaget’s Theory on Infant’s Cognitive Development? | Children actively construct schemas (ideas) for interpreting their experiences. Equilibrium -> Disequilibrium ->Adaption or Assimilation (not developing) -> Accommodation (Adjust schemas to match new reality) -> New Equilibrium |
Piaget’s Stages of Cognitive Development- Sensorimotor (0-2 years) When we are infants we? | -“Think” with SENSES (pre-representational) -Explore with MOTOR capabilities -Innate reflexes give way to intentional investigations |
Circular Reactions (Piagets Substages) -Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Circular Reactions? | Primary:1-4 months (self-focused exploration) Secondary:4-12 months (object focused) 8 months: Intentional, goal-oriented behavior Tertiary:1-2 years (flexible exploration) 18 months: Symbolic capacity-move from pre-representational to representationa |
Thinking in the Sensorimotor System: -Representation? | Representation: Object Permanence (8 months is where we start to see representation) Deferred imitation (Imitate a sequence of behaviors that they saw someone do) Make-believe play, and Means-end behavior (mental problem solving-age 2= begins to develop |
Critiquing Piaget’s sensorimotor infants | Piaget underestimated infants; -e.g., object permanence by 4 months? Piaget overemphasized STAGES; -e.g., Cognitive development is gradual |
Post-Piaget: Social Cognition | -Infants are tuned in to learning through other people, and about other people -Infants learn through others: -Looking & attention (joint attention) -Emotions -Behaviors |
Emerging Language- “Endpoint of Infancy” | -Cooing (1-2 months) & Babbling (3-4 months) -Gestures: Declarative (point to receive attention) and Imperative (do this for me) -First words (holophrase-12 months) -Telegraphic speech (around 18 months) “put together 2 words at same time" |
How do we soak up language? >Social-Interactionsit View: | -Biologically “programmed” e.g., phoneme perception -Motivated to communicate e.g., turn-taking -Surrounded by language e.g., infant-directed speech |
