    Study Notes

    Vocabulary Development

    • Children's vocabulary expands from approximately 200 words at age 2 to around 2000 words by age 7.

    Cognitive Development Stages

    • Preoperational Stage: Children learn through pretense and play but do not yet engage in logical thinking.
    • Concrete Operational Stage: Logical thinking begins, but thoughts may be rigid and inflexible.
    • Animistic Thinking: Children at this stage believe inanimate objects, like toys, have feelings and emotions.
    • Theory of Mind Development: Marks the beginning of children's ability to consider how others might think and feel.
    • Egocentric Thought Stage: Concepts are more imaginative and centered around themselves.

    Piaget's Stages and Age Milestones

    • Formal Operational Stage: Typically begins around age 12, characterized by abstract thinking.
    • Visual Problem Solving: Children start solving visual problems more effectively than verbal ones during the Concrete Operational Stage.
    • Conservation Concept: Realization that objects maintain their properties even when their appearance changes.
    • Increased Logic and Abstract Understanding: Occurs during the Formal Operational Stage, enhancing deductive reasoning.

    Self-Understanding and Social Awareness

    • Children realize their thoughts are unique around age 4 to 5, recognizing that others share their own thoughts, feelings, and opinions.
    • Introspection and contemplation about their roles in society arise during the Concrete Operational Stage.
    • Transition from imaginative learning to rule-based learning happens when experimentation gives way to structured rules in the Concrete Operational Stage.
    • The shift from imagination to factual understanding characterizes the Concrete Operational Stage.
