Study Notes
Cognitive Development Theory
- Assimilation: incorporating new experiences into existing cognitive structures (schemas).
- Accommodation: creating new schemas to adapt to new experiences.
- Equilibration: balancing assimilation and accommodation.
- Schema: mental structures used to organize and adapt to the surrounding environment.
- Cognitive Disequilibrium: a mismatch between what is perceived and understood.
Stages of Cognitive Development
Stage 1: Sensorimotor Stage (Birth to Infancy)
- Child responds initially through reflexes (grasping, sucking, reaching).
- Focus on senses and muscle movements.
- Object permanence: understanding that things still exist even when they aren't visible.
Stage 2: Pre-Operational Stage (2-7 Years Old)
- Children can create mental representations and pretend.
- Able to use symbols, such as numbers and words.
- Key Concepts:
- Symbolic function: ability to use symbols to represent objects and events
- Egocentrism: Difficulty understanding others' perspectives.
- Centration: focusing on only one aspect of a situation.
- Characteristics:
- Irreversibility: inability to mentally reverse actions
- Animism: attributing human-like qualities to inanimate objects.
- Transductive reasoning: drawing illogical connections between events.
