Study Notes
Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development
- Decentering is the ability to consider multiple aspects of a problem simultaneously. It develops around ages 5-7.
- Conservation is the understanding that certain properties remain the same even when their appearance changes.
- Egocentrism is the inability to understand another person's perspective. Piaget's mountain task demonstrates this. It fades around age 7.
- False Belief Task assesses a child's understanding that others can hold different beliefs. Children under 4.5-5 struggle with this.
Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory
- Emphasizes the role of social interaction and culture in cognitive development.
- Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) refers to the gap between what a child can do independently and what they can achieve with assistance.
- Scaffolding is the support provided by more knowledgeable others to help children learn.
- Vygotsky believed that private speech (talking to oneself) is important for cognitive development.
Emotional Intelligence
- The ability to perceive, understand, and manage emotions in oneself and others.
- People with high emotional intelligence are better at self-regulation, have better psychological health, and stronger social well-being.
Basic Human Emotions
- Basic emotions (fear, sadness, anger, disgust, interest, happiness) are innate and universal.
- Facial expressions for these emotions are recognized across cultures.
Emotion Regulation
- The strategies we use to manage our emotions in different situations.
- It is learned early in life and caregivers play a crucial role in its development.
Synchrony
- The coordinated, rhythmic interaction between a baby and caregiver, usually initiated by the mother.
Piaget's Stages of Cognitive Development
- Concrete Operational Stage (6-12 years): Children begin to think logically about concrete events. They understand reversible relationships and can perform logical deductions.
- Compensation: Understanding that changing one property (like length) can be balanced by a change in another (like density).
Memory & Retrieval
- Retrieval is the process of accessing information from memory.
- Recognition: Identifying familiar information when it is present.
- Recall: Retrieving information from memory without the stimulus being present.
Friendship Stages
- Stage 3 (Mutual/Third-Person, 10-15 years): Friendships involve shared values, support, and perspective-taking from a third-person viewpoint.
- Stage 4 (Intimate/In-Depth/Societal, Late Teens/Adulthood): Relationships involve deep sharing, a balance of intimacy and autonomy, and considering broader societal perspectives.
Self-Concept
- A multi-dimensional construct made up of different domains of life.
- Academic Self-Concept: How children perceive their abilities in school.
Morality
- Preconventional Morality (5-9 years): Focused on avoiding punishment and getting what one wants.
- Stage 1: Punishment and Obedience: Following rules to avoid punishment.
- Stage 2: Individual Interests: Doing things for personal benefit.
- Conventional Morality (9-Adolescence): Focused on pleasing others and following societal rules.
- Stage 3: Social Approval: Seeking acceptance and approval from others.
- Stage 4: Law and Order: Following laws to maintain order and social functioning.
Heteronomous Morality (5-9 years)
- Children believe rules are absolute and come from authority figures.
- Focus on consequences rather than intent.
