Q

what evidence do we have for nurture?

A

problems with brain development - taking alcohol or drugs - environmental factors in womb effect how the baby grows

17
Q

what is the internationalist approach internationalist approach?

A

nature and nurture - complex influences on development - difficult to understand contribution

18
Q

what was Piaget’s theory of cognitive development ?

A

children don’t think like adults - children think in different ways - logically, other perspectives, abstract thoughts - brains not matured

19
Q

assimilation

A

new info added to existing schema

20
Q

accommodation

A

changing schema to match new info

21
Q

sensorimotor

A

0-2 - learn how to control bodies with sensory info - develop object permanence

22
Q

pre operational

A

2-7 - can’t think logically, no conservation, egocentric

23
Q

concrete operational

A

7-11 - less egocentric, learnt conservation, developed logical reasoning

24
Q

formal operational stage

A

11+ years - have abstract concepts

25
Q

application to education

A
  • “child centred”teaching - interesting resources - develop your own schema
  • teachers consider readiness - different stages
  • range of classroom activities
26
Q

piage’t evaluate?

A

influencial - applied to early education - teachers focusing less on rote learning and more discovery - tasks based on readiness - develop own schema

27
Q

weakness of piaget?

A

does not present all children development - thought everyone would achieve formal operational stage - some people never develop it

28
Q

naughty teddy study?

A

see if pre-operational children are unable to conserve

29
Q

how many children did they use in the naughty teddy study?

A

80 - between 4 and 6 - Scottish nursery and primary schools

30
Q

what were the two conditions for the naughty teddy study?

A

intentional moved counters, naughty teddy accidentaly did it

31
Q

what did they find out in the naughty teddy study?

A

condition one: experimenter mover counters - 13 children - said they were the same

accidental condition 50 children answered correctly and conserved

32
Q

what were the conclusions of naughty teddy study?

A

influenced behaviour of children - underestimated children’s ability to conserve

33
Q

evaluating naughty teddy study?

A

effectively countered pre existing ideas on limitation of piaget’s ideas
replicated by other researchers - similar results - not as strong as naughty teddy

30 percent children still unable to conserve in naughty teddy condition - children struggle with conservation at 7 - partially support piaget

34
Q

mountain doll study?

A

children struggle to decentre - understand the world from other perspectives

35
Q

how did he do the mountain study?

A

child in front of 3d model of mountain - doll on side - asked to pick images on what doll could see

36
Q

Which image did the children pick- doll study?

A

younger children picked their view- older picked dolls view

37
Q

why did they develop Hughes policeman study?

A

method was not clear to children - made them look more egocentric
