    Study Notes

    Child Development and Piaget's Stages of Cognitive Development

    • The acquisition of skills such as walking is influenced by cultural and child-rearing practices, with differences in baby-carrying, exercise, and parental expectations affecting motor development.
    • Standard tests for infant skills may not accurately reflect natural activity, as test settings can be odd and performance and motivation may vary.
    • According to Jean Jacques Rousseau and William James, babies are born capable of learning and experience the world as a "blooming, buzzing confusion."
    • Piaget's observations of his own children, Laurent and Jacqueline, were viewed as indicative of important changes in an infant's cognitive development, progressing through six substages in the first 2 years.
    • Piaget developed concepts such as schemas, assimilation, accommodation, organization, equilibrium, and equilibration to explain how children construct their knowledge of the world.
    • Schemas, which are actions or mental representations that organize knowledge, include behavioral schemas in infancy and mental schemas in childhood.
    • Assimilation occurs when children use existing schemas to deal with new information, while accommodation occurs when they adjust their schemas to account for new experiences.
    • Children cognitively organize their experiences by grouping isolated behaviors and thoughts into a higher-order system, with continual refinement being an inherent part of development.
    • Equilibration, involving cognitive conflict or disequilibrium, leads children to assimilate and accommodate, eventually developing fundamentally different organizations of their schemas.
    • Piaget's stages of cognitive development include the sensorimotor period, which involves the coordination of sensory input and motor responses and the development of object permanence.
    • In Piaget's stages, infants younger than 8-12 months lack the perceptual-cognitive ability for selective imitation, with facial imitation being particularly challenging.
    • Meltzoff and Moore's study indicated that infants aged 12-21 days produced significantly more matching responses to a modelled gesture when viewing it, supporting the idea that neonatal imitation is a developmental milestone.
