Study Notes
Cognitive Development
- Cognitive development refers to the process by which children and adolescents acquire, process, and use information to adapt to their environment.
- Major theories:
-
Piaget's Theory: Children progress through four stages of cognitive development:
- Sensorimotor (0-2 years): Learning through senses and motor activities.
- Preoperational (2-7 years): Egocentric thinking, using symbols and language.
- Concrete Operational (7-11 years): Logical thinking, understanding cause-and-effect relationships.
- Formal Operational (11-15 years): Abstract thinking, problem-solving, and logical reasoning.
- Vygotsky's Theory: Emphasizes the role of social interaction and culture in shaping cognitive development.
- Information Processing Theory: Compares the human brain to a computer, highlighting the processes of input, processing, and output.

Piaget's Theory: Children progress through four stages of cognitive development:
Social Learning Theory
- Social Learning Theory proposes that people learn new behaviors and attitudes by observing and imitating others.
- Key components:
- Observation: Learning through observing others' behaviors and their consequences.
- Imitation: Replicating the observed behaviors.
- Reinforcement: The consequences of the behavior, such as rewards or punishments, influence the likelihood of imitation.
- Modeling: The process of observing and imitating others' behaviors.
- Albert Bandura's Bobo Doll Experiment (1961) demonstrated the power of social learning in shaping aggressive behavior.
Language Development
- Language development is the process by which children acquire the ability to understand and use language.
- Stages of language development:
- Pre-linguistic stage (0-6 months): Cooing, babbling, and making vowel sounds.
- Babbling stage (6-9 months): Imitating sounds and experimenting with language.
- One-word stage (9-12 months): Using single words to communicate.
- Two-word stage (12-18 months): Combining two words to form simple sentences.
- Telegraphic speech (18-24 months): Using short sentences with a focus on content words.
- Theories of language development:
- Behaviorist Theory: Language is acquired through imitation and reinforcement.
- Nativist Theory: Humans are born with an innate ability to acquire language.
- Interactionist Theory: Language development is a result of the interaction between the child's innate abilities and the environment.
