Study Notes
Early Childhood Development (Ages 2-6)
- Typical annual height gain: 2-3 inches
- Typical annual weight gain: 5-7 pounds
- Factors hindering growth: malnutrition, chronic illness, lack of physical activity
- Brain development: Myelination increases, speeding neural signal transmission and improving cognitive and motor skills.
- Normal behavior: Three-year-olds may struggle to sit still for extended periods.
- Recommended dietary fat percentage: 30-35% (essential for brain development)
- Leading cause of death: Accidents (unintentional injuries)
- Piaget's preoperational thought stage: Ages 2-7; symbolic play and symbol manipulation.
- Animism (Piaget): Belief that inanimate objects possess feelings and intentions.
- Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD): Difference between independent abilities and abilities with guidance.
- Self-description (age 4): Concrete terms (physical characteristics and observable behaviors).
- Gender identity formation: Around ages 3-4.
- Baumrind's parenting styles: Authoritative, Authoritarian, Permissive, Neglectful.
- Negative effects of physical punishment: Aggression, antisocial behavior, emotional problems.
- Negative effects of excessive television: Reduced physical activity, poor academic performance, aggression.
Middle and Late Childhood (Ages 6-11)
- Physical growth rate: Slower than in preschool or adolescence.
- Learning disability diagnosis criteria: Difficulty with specific academic skills; significant discrepancy between academic performance and intelligence; not due to other factors (sensory impairments, etc.).
- Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA): Guarantees Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) in the least restrictive environment for students with disabilities.
- Piaget's Seriation: Ability to arrange objects in sequential order based on characteristics (size, shape, etc.).
- IQ calculation: (Mental Age/Chronological Age) x 100
- Self-esteem vs. self-concept: The provided text does not fully define the difference.
