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.
