COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATION TEST
COMPLETE QUESTIONS WITH ACCURATE
SOLUTIONS
●● Sensorimotor Stage (Piaget):
Answer: -Birth-2 years old, Infants learn through environmental input
they receive through their senses; motor actions they engage in; and
through feedback they receive from their bodies and the environment
about their actions
●● Sensorimotor Stage (Piaget), First 3 substages:
Answer: -From birth to 1 month old, infant learns to comprehend their
environment through their inborn reflexes such as sucking or looking
around.
-From 1-4 months old, babies begin to coordinate their physical
sensations with new schemas they form to represent elements of reality.
-From 4-8 months (Secondary Circular Reactions), children repeat
rewarding actions but now they are focused on things in the environment
that they can affect
●● Last 3 substages of Sensorimotor stage:
Answer: -From 8-12 month (Coordination of Reactions): having begun
repeating actions purposefully to achieve environmental effects during
,the previous substage and further explore their surroundings. Frequently
imitate others
-(Tertiary Circular Reactions), 12-18 months, children begin to
experiment through rial and error.
-(Early Representational Thought) 18-24 months, children begin
representing objects and events with symbols
●● Object Permanence:
Answer: the awareness that things continue to exist even when not
perceived (typically 8-9 months)
●● Schema and Schema development:
Answer: -A schema does not represent an individual object, but a
category or class of things.
●● Conservation:
Answer: -The cognitive ability to understand that objects or substances
retain their properties of numbers or amounts even when their
appearance, shape or configuration changes. ex: liquid volume
experiment
●● Preoperational Stage:
Answer: -(Piaget), 2-6 years children cannot yet perform mental
operations nor manipulate information mentally.
, ●● Concrete Operational Stage:
Answer: -(Piaget) 6-7 years, children begin to think logically using
cause and effect to things they can see, feel or manipulate physically.
However, they still struggle to think abstractly.
●● Preoperational Stage Continued:
Answer: - (Piaget), children between 2-6 have begun using objects to
represent other things through exploration of pretend/make-beleive play.
-Piaget termed pre operational children "egocentric" in that they literally
cannot adopt another point of view even concretely
●● Animism:
Answer: -Develops in pre operational stage
-Assigning human beliefs, qualities, feelings and actions to inanimate
objects
-Related to egocentrism in regard to everything revolving around oneself
●● Stages of Growth and Development in Art:
Answer: -Six stages
-Scribble Stage (age 2-4): uncontrolled scribble, controlled scribble,
naming scribble to indicate representation
-Preschematic Stage (4-6 years old): Children begin to develop a visual
schema
