Study Notes
Number Development
- The cardinality principle refers to the understanding that a set of items has a specific quantity, regardless of how they are arranged or perceived.
- The process of parallel individuation of small sets is a process by which infants quickly and accurately identify the number of items in a small set.
- Bootstrapping in number development is the process of using previous knowledge to build new understanding, such as using the concept of "one" to understand the concept of "two".
Language Learning
- The nature vs nurture debate in language learning is primarily focused on whether language is innate or acquired through experience.
- According to Skinner, language is learned through operant conditioning, where behavior is modified by its consequences.
- Chomsky's view differs from Skinner's in that Chomsky believes language is innate and that children have an innate capacity for language acquisition.
- The term used to describe the study of the rules governing the combination of sounds in language is phonology.
- The smallest unit of a word that has meaning is called a morpheme.
Cognitive Science
- The term used to describe the phenomenon where infants are able to distinguish speech sounds from different languages shortly after birth is language acquisition device.
- Neural plasticity refers to the brain's ability to reorganize itself in response to new experiences.
- The main difference between Skinner's and Chomsky's views on language learning is that Skinner believes language is acquired through experience, while Chomsky believes it is innate.
Attention
- The main difference between exogenous and endogenous attention is that exogenous attention is driven by external stimuli, while endogenous attention is driven by internal goals and expectations.
- The main difference between late selection and early selection theories of attention is that late selection theories propose that attention is focused on certain stimuli after they have been processed, while early selection theories propose that attention is focused on certain stimuli before they are processed.
Other Concepts
- Weber's Law states that the just-noticeable difference in a stimulus is proportional to the magnitude of the stimulus.
- The Xu and Spelke 2000 study showed that infants are able to understand the concept of "one" and can differentiate between one and two objects.
- The paper on infants' choice of more found that infants are able to choose the larger of two sets of objects.
