Q

this stage is the development of Objective Permanence (memory)

Study These Flashcards
A

Sensorimotor stage

22
in this stage of development, infants construct an understanding of the world by coordinating sensory experiences and motor actions
sensorimotor stage
22
in this stage, infants progress from reflexive, instinctual actions at birth to the beginning of problem solving and symbolic abilities toward the end of the stage
sensorimotor stage
22
this is where they realize that objects exist even if they are out of sight
object permanence
23
this stage is for birth to 2 years old or the infancy
sensorimotor stage
23
the child is more capable of more complex mental representations compared to the previous stage
preoperational stage
23
this stage is for 2-7 years old or the toddler and early childhood
preoperational stage
23
this period of DEVELOPING LAGUAGE AND CONCEPTS
preoperational stage
23
this stage begins when the child starts to USE SYMBOLS AND LANGUAGE
preoperational stage
23
preoperational stage is divided into 2 sub-stages which are:
preconceptual stage and intuitive stage
24
this substage of preoperational stage is the INCREASED USE OF VERBAL REPRESENTATION but the SPEECH IS EGOCENTRIC.
preconceptual stage
24
this substage of preoperational stage is SPEECH BECOMES MORE SOCIAL, LESS EGOCENTRIC.
intuitive stage
24
this substage of preoperational stage is where the child USES SYMBOLS TO STAND FOR ACTIONS
preconceptual stage
24
what are the key features of the preoperational stage
1. egocentrism 2. animism 3. concentration
24
this substage of preoperational stage is where the child base their knowledge on WHAT THEY FEEL OR SENSE TO BE TRUE, yet they cannot explain the underlying principles behind what they feel or sense
intuitive stage
25
the process of concentrating on one limited aspect of a stimulus and ignoring the other aspects and it is noticed in conservation
concentration
25
the child's thought and communications are typically egocentric
egocentrism
26
the egocentrism is well explained by Piaget as _____
three mountain task
27
treating inanimate objects as living ones
animism
28
is the knowledge that quantity is unrelated to the arrangement and physical appearance of objects. children of this age (2-7) are unaware of this.
conservation
29
this stage is for 7 to 12 years old or childhood and early adolescence
concrete operational stage
29
this stage is characterized by the APPROPRIATE USE OF LOGIC
concrete operational stage
30
what are the 8 important processes during the concrete operational stage:
1. seriation 2. transitivity 3. classification 4. decentering 5. reversibility 6. conservation 7. elimination of egocentrism 8. performs operation
30
in this concrete operational stage is the ABILITY TO SORT THINGS OR OBJECTS in an order according to size, shape, or any other characteristics
seriation
31
in this concrete operational stage is the ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE LOGICAL RELATIONSHIPS among elements in a serial order
transitivity
32
in this concrete operational stage is the ABILITY TO GROUP OBJECTS together on the basis of common features
classification
33
in this concrete operational stage is the ABILITY TO TAKE MULTIPLE ASPECTS of a situation into account
decentring
34
in this concrete operational stage is the child understands that NUMBERS OR OBJECTS CAN BE CHANGED, THEN RETURNED TO ORIGINAL STATE
reversibility
35
in this concrete operational stage is the UNDERSTANDING THAT THE QUANTITY, LENGTH OR NUMBER OF ITEMS IS unrelated to the arrangement or appearance of the object or item
conservation
36
in this concrete operational stage is the ABILITY TO VIEW THINGS FROM ANOTHER'S PERSPECTIVE
elimination of egocentrism
37
in this concrete operational stage is the child performs combining, separating, multiplying, repeating, dividing etc.
performs operations
38
the stage where the thought becomes increasinngly FLEXIBLE and ABSTRACT
formal operational stage
39
the stage where the ability to systematically solve a problem in LOGICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL WAY
formal operational stage
40
the stage that understands that nothing is absolute; everything is relative
formal operational stage
41
the stage that the rules of any game or social system are developed by a man by mutual agreement and hance could be changed or modified.
formal operational stage
42
the stage that the child's way of thinking is at its MOST ADVANCED, although the knowledge it has to work with, will change
