w ith 100% Verified Correct Answ ers
1. Schema: Mental construct formed to represent elements of reality (ex: things to suck on)
2. Assimilation: When children fit something new into existing schema
3. Accomodation: Cannot assimilate something into existing Schema, so modify Schema or create new one
4. Adaptation: The combined process of assimilation and accommodation, adjusting to our environment through
interacting with it
5. Conservation: Cognitive ability to understand objects retain properties of number or amounts even when
appearance, shape, or configuration changes, around 5 years
6. Primary circular reactions: Piaget second sub stage of sensorimotor from 1-4 months, behavior
by accident that is repeated because it brings please
7. Secondary circular reactions: Piaget third sub stage of sensorimotor from around 4-8 months,
repeat rewarding behaviors but look for how they can attect the environment
8. Coordination of Reactions: Piaget sub stage of sensorimotor from 8-12 months, imitate others
ob-served behaviors, demonstrate intentional behaviors, combine schemes, associate objects with their properties
9. Tertiary circular reactions: Piaget, sensorimotor period, 12-18 months, experimenting through trial and
error
10. Early representational thought: Piaget, sensorimotor period, 18-24 months, representing
objects and events with symbols
11. Sensorimotor stage of cognitive development: Piaget, birth to 2 years, learn
through environmental input they receive through senses, motor actions, feedback from environment and

, their bodies
12. Object permanence: Understanding that unseen objects still exist, sensorimotor period around
8-9 months, search for object after it is moved or hidden
13. Preoperational stage of cognitive development: Piaget, ages 2-6 years, use objects
for pretend and make-believe play, intuitive thinking NOT following logical steps, egocentric and cannot adopt another's
point of view
14. Perinatal period: Pertaining to the period immediately before and after birth
15. Anna Freud: Founder of psychoanalytic child psychology, importance of the ego and its ability to be
trained socially
16. Samuel Kirk: Coined the term learning disability, intrinsic factors may contribute to academic
underachieve-ment
17. Jean Marc Gaspard Itard: Known as an educator of the deaf, useless attempts to restore hearing
18. Eduard Seguin: Studied the causes, as well as the training of individuals with intellectual disabilities
19. Department of Agriculture: Administers Food Stamp program
20. IDEA - Part C: Program for Infants and Toddlers with Disabilities, infants and toddlers at risk for
developmental delays are guaranteed early intervention programs
21. Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP): The IDEA Part C regulations specify the procedures
that State Lead Agencies and early intervention service providers must follow to develop, review, and revise an IFSP for each
child.
22. Scaffolding learning activities: Provide a natural way to model expectations and allow the
student to practice meeting these expectations before turning over more responsibility to the student
23. Developmental delay: Only applies to ages 0-8, a condition which represents a significant delay in
the process of development
