ANSWERS (VERIFIED ANSWERS) ALREADY GRADED
A+
Equilibrium: - ANSWERS--Family's balance and consistency
Sensorimotor Stage (Piaget): - ANSWERS--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: - ANSWERS--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: - ANSWERS--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: - ANSWERS-the awareness that things continue to exist even when not
perceived (typically 8-9 months)
Schema and Schema development: - ANSWERS--A schema does not represent an individual
object, but a category or class of things.
Conservation: - ANSWERS--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: - ANSWERS--(Piaget), 2-6 years children cannot yet perform mental
operations nor manipulate information mentally.
Concrete Operational Stage: - ANSWERS--(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: - ANSWERS-- (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: - ANSWERS--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: - ANSWERS--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
-Schematic Stage (7-9 years old): Drawings more reflect actualy physical proportions and
colors.
-Dawing Realism Stage (9-11 years old): Drawings become increasingly representational.
-Pseudorealistic Stage (11-13 years old): Reflecting their abilities to reason
-Period of Decision stage (14+ years old): Reflecting their adolescent identity crisis
Music and Development: - ANSWERS--Music is a great aid to emotional development
-Provide opportunities for guided musical experiences
-Growing musical appreciation goes hand in and with fundamental motor and cognitive
development, and social skills needed for language and school readiness
Premathematic Learning Experiences: - ANSWERS--Preschool children do not think the same
way older people do. When it comes to problem solving, the depend upon how things look,
feel, smell, and taste. Therefore, preschool children should be given concrete objects for
problem solving
Activities Assisting Children Develop Cognitive Abilities: - ANSWERS--Young children struggle
reversing operations. They are also often egocentric, seeing everything from their point of
view. Adults can help them take others' perspectives through guessing games wherein they
must give each other clues to guess persons/ objects and dramatic role-playing activities.
