Ticket 2 Part B

Introduction

Jean Piaget is a French psychologist known to develop the most influential theory of cognitive development. He designed a way for children to react to their environment in a learning fashion. This is known as schemas, or “basic units of knowledge used to organize past experiences and serve as a basis for understanding new ones.” (For The Young Child, 1.)

Intro

ASSIMILATION

&

ACCOMMODATION

There are 2 complementary processes in “schema”:

Assimilation

Assimilation

This is a process in which you learn by connecting with things you have already know or have done.

Accommodation

Or “Equilibrium” -This a continually changing process to accommodate to learning new things.

Accommodation

Four stages of cognitive development according to Piaget’s Theory:

Sensorimotor Stage (Infancy):

The 6 sub stages with Motor Activity, and physical activity

Pre-operational Stage (Toddler & Early Childhood):

The 2 substages with use of language, imagination, and symbols.

Concrete Operational Stage (Elementary & Early Adolescence):

There are 7 types of conversations. All of the conversations are systematic and concrete.

Formal Operational Stage (Adolescence & Adulthood):

This stage is abstract and conceptual.

Assimilation

INFANCY

Infancy

Born:

Baby uses senses to discover the world around them. Example: (sounds/ colors recognized).

6 Months:

Imitation stage, and distinguishes objects to be real or not. Eventually recognizes their names by 4 months.

9 Months:

Recognizes gestures, and understands “no” and “yes”.

12 Months:

Speak up to 2 or 4 words, Separation anxiety away from parents. Understand eventually 10-50 words by 18 months.

Toddlerhood

Toddlerhood

  • Sensorimotor stage of Piaget’s Theory.

  • Safety is parents main concern

  • Discipline with use of “please” and “thank you”.

  • Love and trust emotional understanding is built.

Preschool

  • Ages 3-6 are at the “pre operational” stage of Piaget’s Cognitive Development Theory.

School Age

School Age

Cognitive Transition

The ability to think more advanced. Seen in 5 ways:

Cognitive Transition

Adolescence become better at deciphering what is real vs. child’s “hear and now”.

1

  • Adolescence can think about abstract ideas.

  • Comprehending puns, metaphors, and analogies.

2

Adolescence process of thinking, and meta cognition.

3

4

  • Adolescence can think about abstract ideas.

  • Comprehending puns, metaphors, and analogies.

5

Common Problems

  • Cognitive impairment (autism)

  • “The National Institutes of Mental Health describes learning disabilities as a disorder that affects people’s ability to either interpret what they see and hear or to link information from different parts of the brain.” (Common Problems, 5).

Parental Concerns

  • Heredity intellectual parent concerns.
