Introduction Cognitive & Physical Development in Middle Childhood Introduction In the Concrete Operational Stage: 7 - 11 Years Old Children continue into elementary school; they develop the ability to represent ideas and events more flexibly and logically. Children at this age understand concepts such as past, present, and future, giving them the ability to plan and work toward goals. Additionally, they can process complex ideas such as addition and subtraction and cause-and-effect relationships. This involves mastering the use of logic in concrete ways. The child can use logic to solve problems tied to their own direct experience but has trouble solving hypothetical problems or considering more abstract problems. The child uses inductive reasoning, which is a logical process in which multiple premises believed to be true are combined to obtain a specific conclusion. Subject Learnin Obj. Introduction Cognitive & Physical Development in Middle Childhood Introduction Metacognition Refers to the knowledge we have about our own thinking and our ability to use this awareness to regulate our own cognitive processes. Children in this developmental stage also have a better understanding of how well they are performing a task, and the level of difficulty of a task. Subject Learning Obj.

For compensated for by changes in another example, they can methodically arrange a quality (width). Consequently, there is the series of different-sized sticks in order by length, while younger children approach a same amount of water in each container, similar task in a haphazard way. although one is taller and narrower and the other is shorter and wider. Subject Learning Obj.

This means that changes in other dimensions too if one understands that a dog is a (such as the width of the glass). This mammal, and that a boxer is a dog, allows for conservation to occur. then a boxer must be a mammal. Title Page Reporters Introduction Cognitive Cognitive & Physical Development in Middle Childhood Information Processing Cognitive Skills Children differ in their memory abilities, and these differences predict both their readiness for school and academic performance in school. Language Development Vocabulary: One of the reasons that children can classify objects in so many ways is that they have acquired a vocabulary to do so. Grammar and Flexibility: Older children are also able to learn new rules of grammar with more flexibility. Communication Disorders Fluency disorders, Articulation disorder, and Voice disorders Physical Development in Middle Childhood Title Page Reporters Introduction Cognitive Physical Cognitive & Physical Development in Middle Childhood Brain Development Title Page Reporters Introduction Cognitive Physical Growth & Skills Cognitive & Physical Development in Middle Childhood Growth Rates and Motor Skills Rates of growth generally slow during middle childhood. Typically, a child will gain about 5-7 pounds a year and grow about 2 inches per year. Many girls and boys experience a prepubescent growth, but this growth tends to happen earlier in girls (around age 9-10) than it does in boys (around age 11-12). Because of this, girls are often taller than boys at the end of middle childhood. Title Page Reporters Introduction Cognitive Physical Growth & Skills Cognitive & Physical Development in Middle Childhood Growth Rates and Motor Skills Rates of growth generally slow during middle childhood.

Children in middle childhood tend to slim down and gain muscle strength and lung capacity making it possible to engage in strenuous physical activity for long periods of time. Title Page Reporters Introduction Cognitive Physical Growth & Skills Cognitive & Physical Development in Middle Childhood Growth Rates and Motor Skills Rates of growth generally slow during middle childhood.

Children of this age tend to sharpen their abilities to perform both gross motor skills and fine motor skills (finger and hand skills).  Growth & Subject Learning Obj.
