According to Piaget, magical thinking is the belief of which?
a. Thoughts are all powerful.
b. God is an imaginary friend.
c. Events have cause and effect.
d. If the skin is broken, the insides will come out. - ANSWER: ANS: A
, Because of their egocentrism and transductive reasoning, preschoolers believe that
thoughts are all powerful. Believing God is an imaginary friend is an example of
concrete thinking in a preschoolers spiritual development. Cause-and-effect implies
logical thought, not magical thinking. Believing that if the skin is broken, the insides
will come out is an example of concrete thinking in development of body image.
In terms of cognitive development, the 5-year-old child would be expected to:
a. Use magical thinking.
b. Think abstractly.
c. Understand conservation of matter.
d. Be able to comprehend another person's perspective. - ANSWER: A
Magical thinking is believing that thoughts can cause events. Abstract thought does
not develop until school-age years. The concept of conservation is the cognitive task
of school-age children ages 5 to 7 years. Five-year-olds cannot understand another's
perspective.
What is descriptive of the preschooler's understanding of time?
a. Has no understanding of time
b. Associates time with events
c. Can tell time on a clock
d. Uses terms like "yesterday" appropriately - ANSWER: B
In a preschooler's understanding, time has a relation with events such as, "We'll go
outside after lunch." Preschoolers develop an abstract sense of time at age 3 years.
Children can tell time on a clock at age 7 years. Children do not fully understand use
of time-oriented words until age 6 years.
The nurse is caring for a hospitalized 4-year-old boy, Ryan. His parents tell the nurse
that they will be back to visit at 6 PM. When Ryan asks the nurse when his parents
are coming, the nurse's best response is:
a. "They will be here soon."
b. "They will come after dinner."
c. "Let me show you on the clock when 6 PM is."
d. "I will tell you every time I see you how much longer it will be." - ANSWER: B
A 4-year-old understands time in relation to events such as meals. Children perceive
"soon" as a very short time. The nurse may lose the child's trust if his parents do not
return in the time he perceives as "soon." Children cannot read or use a clock for
practical purposes until age 7 years. This answer assumes that the child understands
the concept of hours and minutes, which is not developed until age 5 or 6 years.
