ILTS Early Childhood
Education (206) Exam
Equilibrium: - ✔✔✔ANSWER--Family's balance and consistency
Sensorimotor Stage (Piaget): - ✔✔✔ANSWER--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: - ✔✔✔ANSWER--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: - ✔✔✔ANSWER--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: - ✔✔✔ANSWER-the awareness that things continue to exist
even when not perceived (typically 8-9 months)
Schema and Schema development: - ✔✔✔ANSWER--A schema does not
represent an individual object, but a category or class of things.
Conservation: - ✔✔✔ANSWER--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: - ✔✔✔ANSWER--(Piaget), 2-6 years children cannot yet
perform mental operations nor manipulate information mentally.
Concrete Operational Stage: - ✔✔✔ANSWER--(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: - ✔✔✔ANSWER-- (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: - ✔✔✔ANSWER--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: - ✔✔✔ANSWER--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: - ✔✔✔ANSWER--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: - ✔✔✔ANSWER--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: - ✔✔✔ANSWER--
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.
