Study Notes
Piaget's Stages of Cognitive Development and Theory of Children's Learning
- Piaget's stages of cognitive development: sensorimotor (0-2 years), preoperational (2-7 years), concrete operational (7-12 years), formal operational (12 and up)
- Piaget's 3 points on how children learn: actively shape their knowledge, learn on their own, intrinsically motivated
- Strengths of Piaget's theory: intuitively plausible, exceptional breadth, and applications in education
- Weaknesses of Piaget's theory: lack of scientific method, inconsistent depiction of children's thinking, underestimation of children's cognitive capabilities
- Nativist view of cognitive development: children are born with innate knowledge in domains of evolutionary importance
- Evidence for earlier object permanence: infants as young as 3.5 months old showed understanding of solid objects and gravity
- Violation-of-expectation paradigm: infants' longer looking at impossible events indicates knowledge of physical properties
- Drawbridge study results: infants as young as 3.5 months old demonstrated object permanence
- Implications of the drawbridge study: suggests innate understanding of solid objects
- Study on infants' understanding of gravity: infants as young as 3 months old showed understanding of gravity
- Study on infants' understanding of numbers: 6-month-olds showed preference for looking at displays with fewer dots
- Key findings: infants' innate understanding of physical properties, including solid objects, gravity, and basic numbers
