A

By age 2, toddlers recognize themselves as individuals—state their own name, identify self in mirror, and distinguish and label other children in pictures as children of their own age, also recognize abilities (I’m fast, I’m good at puzzles)

Q

Separation-individuation process

A

Mahler’s term for child’s psychological separation from the caregiver and growing awareness of being an individual
– Based on the basic trust the child has developed. When trust is present, the child can attain autonomy and yet still feel secure
– when autonomy is forced on a child too early or when bids for independence are confronted with resistance, self- reliance is compromised and can lead to problems

Q

Friendship

A

•Reciprocal or Mutual (vs. Unilateral): if it is a friendship we both have to acknowledge it
•Voluntary: decide to be your friend
•Based on positive feelings: it shouldn’t be based on conflict but we still have conflict in our peer relationships (it’s important to teach us how to do deal with it)
•Shared experiences
•Friends are friends because they like each other & want to spend time together.
–There is an emotional connection not simply shared interests.
Rubin, 2002

•Friendship formation requires 6 elements:
–Common ground activity
–Clear communication
–Exchange of information
–Resolution of conflicts
–Self disclosure of feelings
–Reciprocity

Q

Friendship Quality

A

•Friendships differ on:
–Content (e.g., do they engage in prosocial behavior)

–Affective Substrates (e.g., supportive and secure or conflictual and insecure)
Hartup, 1996
•Good quality friendships are negatively correlated with children’s endorsement of revenge, avoidance, & blaming as social goals & strategies during peer interactions (Rose & Asher, 1999)

IQ

A

Intelligence Quotient: A method of quantifying my performance on an intelligence test.
•First intelligence test by Binet, then revised as the Stanford-Binet.
•Wechsler scales now more widely used.
I.Q.=Mental Age/Chronological Age X 100
•Stability of IQ increases with age, probably reflecting relatively stable influences of both genes and environment.
•By elementary school years, intelligence tests seem to measure relatively stable aspects of cognitive functioning
•As children grow older, IQ tests become increasingly good predictors of adult IQ

91
Q

Shrinking Room Study (DeLoache et al., 1997)

A

symbolic condition: hide toy, then have mini version of room, toy hidden in same place in replica, there is a symbol that this represents the room but it’s not the actual room, I have to hold the real image in my mind while I go look for toy in mini version
other condition: told there is a shrinking machine, “i shrunk the room”, able to find toy when room is “shrunk” because it’s the same room in their mind
if it’s a map of the room they have more difficulty because they have to hold two images in their mind. Limited information processing capacity makes it difficult to keep two representations active at the same time. Limited cognitive flexibility makes it difficult for the toddlers to mentally represent a single entity in 2 different ways

92
Q

Underextension

A

Children use words to refer to a smaller group than the word actually names.

She took the candy out of the box and put it in the top drawer of the bureau where he kept his socks. The little boy came back. He was hungry and went to get his candy.”

–Where do you think the little boy will look?
–3 year olds often respond as if the boy never left the room and has the same information that they do.
–5 year olds are able to say that boy will look in the box on the table since he understands that the boy who left the room has a false belief about the location of the cand

105
