Jean Piaget correct answers Cognitive Development Theorist
Sensorimotor Stagge correct answers Piaget's Cognitive Development Theory. Birth - 2 years
Goal: Object Permanence. Infant focuses on physical sensations and on learning to coordinate
their body. Learns about the world through their senses and moving and exploring their
environment.
object permanence correct answers Piaget - Sensorimotor stage. the understanding the
permanence of objects and that they will still exist even if they can't be seen. Infants will search
for the objects when they disappear. Requires the ability to form a mental representation
(schema) of the object. Starts around 8 months
Preoperational stage correct answers Piaget - Cognitive Development Theory. 2 to 7 years. Goal
- symbolic thought. At the beginning of this stage, the child does not use operations, so the
thinking is influenced by the way things appear rather than logical reasoning. Child is egocentric
and assumes other people see the world as he does. As the stage develops, egocentrism declines
and children enjoy participation of others - let's play pretend becomes important. Children think
of things symbolically during this stage
Concrete Operational Stage correct answers Piaget's Cognitive Development Theory. Ages 7-11
years. Goal - logical thought. The child can now use operations (a set of logical rules) so she can
conserve quantities. She realizes that people see the world in a different way than she does
(decentering) and has improved in inclusion tasks. Still difficulties with abstract thinking
Formal Operational Stage correct answers Piaget's Cognitive Development Theory. Ages 12+
Adolescence to adulthood. Goal - scientific reasoning. Now gain the ability to think in an
abstract manner, the ability to combine and classify items in a more sophisticated way and the
capacity for higher-order reasoning. Able to think systematically and reason about what might be
as well as what is.
, Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development correct answers 4 Stages - Sensorimotor Stage,
Preoperational Stage, Concrete Operational Stage, Formal Operational Stage. Theory regards the
changes in cognitive development that occur as we move from infancy to adulthood. A child's
cognitive development is not just about acquiring knowledge, the child has to develop or
construct a mental model of the world. Each child goes through the stages in the same order, the
child's development is determined by biological maturation and interaction with the
environment.
Self Recognition correct answers the child recognizes that other people are separate from them.
Sensorimotor Stage (Piaget)
conservation correct answers understanding that although things may change in appearance,
certain properties remain the same. Something stays the same in quantity even though its
appearance changes. (Piaget - Concrete Operational Stage)
Egocentric correct answers child assumes that other people sees the world as he does (Piaget -
Preoperational Stage)
Thinking symbolically correct answers the ability to make one thing, such as a word or an object,
stand for something other than itself
Animism correct answers the tendency for the child to think that a non-living object (such as
toys) have life and feelings like a person's (Piaget - Preoperational Stage)
Operations correct answers a set of logical rules. More sophisticated mental structures which
allow us to combine schemas in a logical (reasonable) way. (Piaget - Concrete Operational
Stage)
Decentring correct answers realizing that people see the world in a different way than you do
(Piaget - Concrete Operational Stage)
