• Assimilation. CORRECT ANSWER: occurs when we modify or change new
information to fit into our schemas.
• Accommodation. CORRECT ANSWER: when we restructure of modify what we
already know (schemas) so that new information can fit in better.
• Schema. CORRECT ANSWER: Images/ideas in head that we already know.
Includes both a category of knowledge and the process of obtaining that
knowledge. As experiences happen, this new information is used to modify, add to,
or change previously existing schemas.
• Piaget's stages of cognitive development. CORRECT ANSWER: Sensorimotor,
preoperational, concrete operational, formal operational
• Sensorimotor. CORRECT ANSWER: in Piaget's theory, the stage (from birth to
about 2 years of age) during which infants know the world mostly in terms of their
sensory impressions and motor activities
• Sensorimotor - Reflex Acts. CORRECT ANSWER: The first month of an infant's
life where they act reflexively. (Ex. If you brush over a babies mouth with your
finger they will suck instinctively)
• Sensorimotor - Primary Circular Reactions. CORRECT ANSWER: Actions for
the babies (1-4 months) pleasurable stimulation (Ex. kicking legs, sucking thumb,
and wiggling fingers)
,• Sensorimotor - Secondary Circular Reactions. CORRECT ANSWER: Babies
from 4-8 months repeat pleasurable actions with their own bodies and objects (Ex.
An infant shaking a rattle because they like the sound)
• Sensorimotor - Co-ordinating Secondary Schemes. CORRECT ANSWER: A
baby from 8-12 months uses their acquired knowledge of actions that they like to
reach a goal (Ex. babies will move an object out of the way to reach a rattle that
they like)
• Sensorimotor - Tertiary Circular Reactions. CORRECT ANSWER: Intentional
adaptations to specific situations. (Ex. can take apart AND put objects back
together - blocks and nesting cups)
• Sensorimotor - Symbolic Thought. CORRECT ANSWER: Can form mental
representations of objects that are not actually present (Ex. Object Permanence)
• Preoperational. CORRECT ANSWER: in Piaget's theory, the stage (from about 2
to 6 or 7 years of age) during which a child learns to use language but does not yet
comprehend the mental operations of concrete logic
• Concrete operational. CORRECT ANSWER: in Piaget's theory, the stage of
cognitive development (from about 6 or 7 to 11 years of age) during which
children gain the mental operations that enable them to think logically about
concrete events
• Formal operations. CORRECT ANSWER: in Piaget's theory, the stage of
cognitive development (normally beginning about age 11) during which people
begin to think logically about abstract concepts
, • Lev Vygotsky. CORRECT ANSWER: child development; investigated how
culture & interpersonal communication guide development; zone of proximal
development; play research
• Zone of proximal development. CORRECT ANSWER: Learning occurs in the
zone of proximal development: the space or zone where children's learning and
development takes place at one end of the ZPD.
• Scaffolding. CORRECT ANSWER: the support for learning and problem solving
that encourages independence and growth
• Howard Gardner. CORRECT ANSWER: Gardner proposed the theory of
multiple intelligences. He believed that humans possess not just one but many
forms of intelligence
• Gardener's Intelligences. CORRECT ANSWER: Linguistic intelligence, Logical
mathematical intelligence, Musical intelligence, Body kinesthetic intelligence,
Spacial intelligence, Interpersonal intelligence, Intrapersonal intelligence,
Naturalistic intelligence
• Linguistic intelligence. CORRECT ANSWER: skills involved in the production
and use of language
• Logical mathematical intelligence. CORRECT ANSWER: Number/reasoning
smart
• Musical intelligence. CORRECT ANSWER: Children possess a higher degree of
musical intelligence use his ability to perform compose or appreciate patterns in
music
