20
Q

How many children participated in the “three mountain task” Piaget and Inhelder (1956)

21
Q

What are some ways the child was questioned in the “three mountain task” experiment

Study These Flashcards
A

-place the shapes to show what their view was
-place the shapes to show what the doll could view
-from the pictures, pick what they could see
-from pictures, pick what the doll could see
-Pick the doll and place it to see what the child sees

Q

-a wooden doll
-the three mountain with the largest being grey with a white top, the second largest having a cross and a path with the colour brown, the smallest being green with a house
-10 Pictures of different viewpoints
-three cards that showed the colour of the mountains

23
Q

what did the results for 4-6.5 ages tell in Piaget’s study (1956)
*mention stage

Study These Flashcards
A

Pre operational stage
they picked pictures and placed the cards based on their own view point even if asked about the doll’s.

24
Q

what did Piaget conclude in his study.

Study These Flashcards
A

Children up to 7 years old were egocentric as they could not see from a view point other than their own.
Older children (7+) were not egocentric

25
What are the weaknesses of Piaget's study
-Lacks generalisability- all participating children were from Switzerland -Criticism from other studies as this scenario wasn't "realistic" (Helen broke)
26
What is mindset
These are a set of beliefs that someone has that helps them respond to a situation
27
the two types of mindset are....
Fixed mindset- believing your abilities are fixed and unchangeable Growth mindset- Believing practice and effort can improve your abilities
28
What did Dweck believe about this theory on development and teachers
-children can develop a fixed mindset in something they can't do -Growth teachers see children improve with perseverance -teachers can see children who have a particular ability.
29
other than this theory having research evidence, name one other strength of Dwecks theory
-practical applications teachers giving tasks based on their efforts allowing them to improve.
30
Person praise VS Process praise
Person- praising the persons ability Process- Praising the persons efforts/ actions
31
what was the aim for Gunderson et al (2013) *hint 3 aims
there were 3 aims: -whether children are affected by the different parental praises -parents give more person praise to girls than boys and vice versa -to see whether the two praises affect the children motivational frameworks later on
32
Why was this study criticised eithical wise (Gunderson et al)
They were deceived- told that this was a child development study but it was based on the different praises.
33
what was the conclusions in Gundersons study
-close relationship of process praise with incremental motivational framework -partial support as person praise didn't necessarily lead to entity motivational framework -boys received more process praise than girls -girls tend to attribute failure to ability more than boys.
34
what did Willingham believe about learning styles
- he believed they don't really exist - Instead the students should be taught using the best method based on the content they were being taught in.
35
Why does factual knowledge come before skill according to Willingham
-knowledge frees up space in the working memory -Knowledge can help development of skills, problem solving and reasoning. -when someone already understands a concept (previous knowledge), it leaves them more processing power.
36
strategies to support development for cognitive development and social development
Cognitive development: -remembering the Childs abilities -considering factors other than developmental -using good problems Social development: -encouraging self regulation -to help children stop impulsive behaviour
37
define development of morality
This is the Childs growing understanding of what is right and wrong.
38
Piaget STILL believes just like cognitive development has stages, so does morality. List all 3 of them WITH their ages
1) pre- moral stage (3-4 years) 2)Heteronomous morality stage (4-6 years) 3)Autonomous morality stage (6-7years)
39
Heteronomous stage VS Autonomous stage
heteronomous- -believes rules cant be broken -Moral realism -bad behaviour = bad punishments Autonomous- -believes can be broken and can get away with it -moral relativism -wrongdoers can miss punishments
40
what occurs in the pre- moral stage
Children here hold no moral judgements
41
Kholberg suggested morality has 3 different levels what are the stages involved in each of them.
Level 1 pre-conventional morality -stage 1: child obeys and avoids punishments stage 2: Rewards and self interests Level 2 conventional morality stage 3: being seen as 'good' conforming to rules stage 4: Being authority figures which is a duty Level 3 post conventional morality stage 5:every individual has a social contract that contains their moral beliefs, everyone is subject to their own moral differences Stage 6: Moral principles are universal that must be followed by every individual
42
What did Damon believe about development on the Moral self *hint influences
Mention how it Is influenced by environment and social influences based on your: -biology -social experiences -intellectual development
43
weaknesses about Damons theory on Moral self
