Q

Clincial method

Piaget studied children using the clinical method

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Clinical method not widely used today
  • Imprecise because not involve asking standardized questions

Help discover how children think about problems

24
Q

Intelligance

Study These Flashcards
A

Basic life function that helps us adapt to the environment

25
Object permanence
Fundamental understanding that objects are permanent when they are no longer visible
26
A not B error
Tendency of 8 to 12 months to search for an obejct in the place where they last found it(A) rather than in its new hiding place(B)
27
Challenges to Piaget's View of Development of Object permanence
Babies know more about object permanence than they reveal through their actions
28
Symbolic capacity
Ability to use images, words, or gestures to represent or stand for objects and experiences
29
Symbolic Thinking during preschool years
- child use wrods to refer to things - Can refer to past and future - Pretend play - Imaginary companion
30
Primary circular reactions(1-4 months)
Repeating actions that had initially happened by chance ## Footnote Eg clapping hands
31
Secondary circular reactions(4 -8months)
Derive pleasure from repeatedly performing an action ## Footnote Sucking or banging a toy
32
Coordination of secondary schemes(8 -12months)
combine secondary actions to achieve simples goals
33
Beginning of thought(18months)
Evidence of symbolic capacity, Where one object can be used to represent another
34
Struggles of preoperational thinker (>6 or 7 years)
Fooled by appearance and has difficulty with tasks that require logic
35
Centration
Tendency to center attention on single aspect of the problem | The tallness of the beaker ## Footnote Preoperational thinkers engage in centration
36
Decentration
Ability to focus on two or more dimensions of a problem at once | The fluid going back and forth between two different beakers ## Footnote Do reversible can help child understand, check their understanding Concrete operational thinkers can solve this problem correctly
37
Visual perspective taking ## Footnote Non social theory of mind task
Knowing how each person view/what they see ## Footnote Difficult for preoperational thinkers Constantly choose task/answer they can see rather than what other people see
38
Theory of Mind
Inferences on other people's perspective socially ## Footnote Two different POV of the same narrative
39
Concrete operational stage
- Focus on more than one aspect of a scheme - Able to better represent perspectives of others - Capable of logical operations - Classification skills improve
40
Seriation
Arrange items mentally along a quantifiable dimension such as length or weight
41
Transitivity
The ability to transfer gained knowledge between two elements to other elements ## Footnote Shorter to longer, Lighter to heavier
42
Classification
- Older preoperational children can group items to a number of different rules ## Footnote Class inclusion and whole-part relationship can remain challenging
43
# Abstract thought emerges in adolescence Formal-operational
Thought is more abstruct than concrete operational thought - permit systematic and scientific thinking about problems
44
# Abstract thought emerges in adolescence Hypothetical deductive reasoning
reasoning from general ideas or rules to their specific implications | Devleop an answer and test it
45
Decontextualize
Separate prior knowledge and beliefs from the demands of the task at hand ## Footnote Doesn't let previous answer affect current task
46
Pros of Formal Thought
- Prepare individual to gain a sense of identity - Think in more complex ways about moral issues - Understand other better
47
Cons of formal thought
- Questioning can lead to confusion - Rebellion against ideas - Egocentrism(Imginary audience and personal fable) ## Footnote Personal fable: uniquiness of this experience Imginary audience: Everyone is thinking about me
48
Adult cognition ## Footnote Biggest push back of paige view of being only in one stage at a time
- Use formal operations in field of expertise - use concrete operations in less familar areas
49
Post formal thought
More complex than formal operational
50
Relativistic thinking
Knowledge depends on its context and the subjective perspective of the knower
51
Dialectical thinking
Detecting paradoxes and inconsistencies among ideas and trying to reconcile them
52
Crystallized intelligence
Draws on things that one already know ## Footnote Defining words
53
Fluid intelligence
"On the fly" thinking ## Footnote Problem solving, remembering new information
54
Abilities decline with age
- Processing speed - working memory - inhibition
55
Abilites remain stable/improve with age
- implicit memory - semantic memory - emotion regulation
