Study Notes
Piaget's Cognitive Development Theory
- Deferred imitation typically emerges around 18-24 months of age.
- Categorization is based on the development of symbolic thought and the ability to group objects based on shared characteristics.
- Complexity of plans and activities increases significantly in the second year of life.
- Cognitive operations and strategies that aid in goal achievement are termed "intellectual operations."
Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory
- Children think about mental activities and determine appropriate actions through private speech, which aids self-regulation and problem-solving.
- Cognitive capacities are first acquired from interactions with adults and more knowledgeable peers.
- The range of capability a child can reach with guidance is referred to as the "Zone of Proximal Development."
- Adjusting support to match a learner's current performance level is known as "scaffolding."
Piaget's Sensorimotor Stages
- The stage occurring between 8 and 12 months is the "Coordination of Secondary Circular Reactions" stage.
- Infants typically exhibit reflexive schemes around 0-1 month of age.
- The main characteristic of the tertiary circular reactions stage (12-18 months) is the active exploration and experimentation with the environment.
- The mental combinations stage occurs between 18-24 months and is defined by the ability to engage in problem solving and symbolic thinking.
- Infants show motor habits centered around their own body between 4-8 months.
- The Coordination of Secondary Circular Reactions stage is characterized by the intentional combination of schemes to achieve specific goals.
