Study Notes
Lifespan Psychology ### Childhood Cognitive Development
- Sensorimotor Stage (0-2 years): Infants learn through sensory experiences and motor activities.
- Preoperational Stage (2-7 years): Children use symbols and language to represent the world, but thinking is still egocentric.
- Concrete Operational Stage (7-11 years): Children can think logically and solve problems using concrete objects and events.
- Formal Operational Stage (11-15 years): Adolescents develop the ability to think abstractly and reason logically.
Childhood Cognitive Development Theories
- Information Processing Theory: Children's cognitive abilities are like a computer, processing information through input, storage, and retrieval.
- Capacity and efficiency of processing increase with age.
- Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory: Children learn through social interactions and culture.
- More knowledgeable others (e.g., parents, teachers) guide children's learning and development.
Infancy Development
- Sensorimotor Development: Infants learn through sensory experiences and motor activities.
- Reflexes (e.g., sucking, grasping) are present at birth and gradually disappear.
- Object Permanence: Understanding that objects exist even when out of sight develops around 6-8 months.
Language Development
- Cooing and Babbling (6-9 months): Infants make sounds and experiment with vocalizations.
Explore the stages of cognitive development in children, from Piaget's Theory to Information Processing and Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory. Learn about infant development, including sensorimotor, language, and emotional development.
