Study Notes
Verbal Development
- Language is a structured system of sound patterns that carry socially standardized meanings.
- Comprises three components: phonology (sound organization), semantics (meaning association), and syntax (rules for sentence formation).
- Cognitive processes parallel language components: category systems (phonology), meaning recognition (semantics), and interrelationships among categories (syntax).
Stages of Language Acquisition
- Early communication includes non-verbal cues like gazing and pointing.
- Infants initially use crying to communicate needs (e.g., hunger or distress, around 1 month).
- First words typically emerge at 10-15 months, often simple sounds (e.g., "ma," "dada").
- By 18-22 months, children begin to form two-word sentences (e.g., "not fix," "all gone").
- After 24 months, telegraphic speech develops, consisting of essential information (e.g., "car broke down").
Intelligence
- Intelligence can be variably defined, leading to confusion in understanding and measurement.
- Wechsler’s definition emphasizes the capacity to act purposefully and think rationally.
- Various intelligence theories include:
- Psychomotor models
- Spearman's g and h factors
- Crystallized vs. fluid intelligence
- Thurstone’s primary mental abilities
- Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences
- Sternberg’s triarchic theory
- Unitary theory (historical perspective).
- Intelligence is influenced by both heredity and environment, with sociological studies highlighting this relationship.
- Key facts about intelligence:
- Intelligence distribution remains unconfirmed.
- Individual differences are notable.
- Intelligence evolves with age and varies by sex and cultural background.
- Objective assessment exists but measurement remains contentious.
Motivation
- Motivation is defined as the mental state that directs thoughts, feelings, and actions toward goals.
- Activating forces for motivation include needs, drives, and motives.
- Needs give rise to drives, directing activities toward goal fulfillment. Biological needs lead to biological drives (e.g., hunger), while social needs lead to socio-psychological drives (e.g., approval).
- Various psychological perspectives on motivation:
- Behaviorists focus on drive reduction theory, linking stimulation to drive and resultant motivation.
- Freud emphasizes innate life instincts as motivation sources.
- Adler highlights social urges and security motives as key motivational drives.
- Cognitive psychologists stress the importance of cognitive factors in motivation.
- Maslow proposed a hierarchy of needs, where lower-order needs must be met before higher-order needs (self-actualization) can motivate behavior.
Strategies for Motivating Students
- Use praise judiciously, ensuring it aligns with student effort.
- Involve students in setting class learning goals that reflect their interests.
- Present materials in engaging and diverse ways for better understanding.
- Teach effective strategies that help students meet learning objectives.
- Vary classroom settings and facilitate peer evaluations to enhance learning opportunities.
- Encourage curiosity by highlighting contradictions and fostering problem-solving groups.
- Adapt to students’ differing abilities and set achievable performance standards.
- Minimize comparisons among students, ensuring constructive criticism is private and supportive.
