New cards

Assimilation

Fits into existing schemas: no change

4
New cards

Accommodation

Change in schema to fir new information

5
New cards

Equilibrium

Homeostasis of schemas sufficiently explaining world

6
New cards

Disequilibrium

Schema is not sufficient to explain experience

Stage 1: Sensorimotor and its stages

  1. Reflexive Stage (0-2 months): learning through automatic responses

  2. Primary Circular Reactions (2-4 months): Accidentally discover pleasurable actions in own body and repeats them

  3. Secondary Circular Reactions (4-8 months): Accidentally discover pleasurable actions outside of own body

  4. Coordination of Secondary Reactions (8-12 months): Intentionally combine actions to achieve a goal

  5. Tertiary Circular Reactions (12-18 months): Experiment with different actions to see what happens

  6. Invention of new means (18-24 months): Solve problems mentally before trial and error

Intuitive Phase (4-7 years): Speech becomes more social and child has intuitive grasp of logical concepts in some areas

New cards

Stage 3: Concrete Operations

Age: 7-11

Logical thought develops/able to perform all operations/consider physical factors/rational judgements


7-8: conservation of substance understanding develops (amt. of substance is the same even if shape changes)

9-10: conservation of area/mass understanding develops
