what is the cerebellum responsible for

coordination

New cards
17

what does the frontal lobe do

concentration,planing,problem solving,motor control speach and smell

New cards
18

body awarness,taste,touch and pressure

New cards
19

what does the temporal lobe do

hearing and facial recognition

New cards
20

New cards
21

define animism

the belief that object are alive

New cards
22

define object permanence

knowing that something exists even when its out of sight

New cards
23

define sensory

New cards
24

what is symbolic play

a form of play in which the child uses objects as representations of other things.

New cards
25

concrete thinking

‌Concrete thinking is a more literal form of thinking that focuses on the physical world

New cards
26

centration

focusing on one feature of a situation and ignoring relevant information

New cards
27

what is decrentraion

development where a child slowly moves away from an egocentric world to a world shared with others.

New cards
28

Abstract thinking

Abstract thinking is the ability to understand concepts that are real, such as freedom or vulnerability, but which are not directly tied to concrete physical objects and experiences.

New cards
29

Morality

principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behaviour.

New cards
30

ways to help sensorimotor (0-2 years)

children need to be treated as individuals

stimulate them using colours,textures,tastes,sights,sounds,smell

to build schema’s

New cards
31

example of ways to help them

singing songs like the abc’s

New cards
32

how to help pre operational development (2-7)

by doing things and gaining experience

this is called discovery learning

they also need to be encouraged to do things themselves

New cards
33

example of ways to help them

models,objects and visuals with shirt instuctions

New cards
34

how to help concrete operational development (7-12)

to focus on multiple aspects of an issue assuming they can underst and different veiwpoints

New cards
35

how to help the formal operational stage

dicussing abstract concepts and complicated questions

New cards
36

what age group are people when they are at the sensory motive stage

0-2 years old

New cards
37

what do children do they they are at the sensory motive stage

Infants explore the world using their senses. They learn through smell, hearing and touch. At 6 months, they develop object permanence and often repeat actions such as dropping items.

New cards
38

what age group are people when they are at the pre operational stage

(2-7)

New cards
39

what do children do they they are at the pre operational stage

Symbolic stage:children experience animism and act egocentric .Intuitive stage:Intuitive Stage is when children use reasoning to understand the world. Children can only focus on one aspect of a situation. This is known as Centration. There is also Irriversibility which they learn to understand.it is at this stage when they start to decentrate

New cards
40

what age group are people when they are at the pre operational stage

7-12

New cards
41

what do children do they they are at the Concrete operational stage

Children can apply rules and strategies to aid.their understanding and thinking.Abilities in this stage include:Seriation: Sorting objects, such as into sizeClassification: Naming and identifying objectsReversibility: can reverse actionsConversion: Understanding quantity and length stay the same.concentration: Taking multiple views

New cards
42

what do children do they they are at the formal operational stage

Children’s thinking has more control. They can understand abstract though, understand time and how it’s changed and can examine consequences.

New cards
43

what age group are people when they are at the formal operational stage

11-12 years old

New cards
44

what were the two aim of piagets study

the extent to which children could take on other peoples point of veiw

childrens overall system of putting together a number of veiws of what they see

New cards
45

describe piaget precedure

Procedure: 100 participants took part between the ages of 4-12

4 – 6.5 years = 21 children

6.5 – 8 years = 30 children

8 – 9.5 years = 33 children

9.5 – 12 years = 16

Materials:

A model of three mountains including a house, red cross, snow and a path 10 pictures the three mountains from different positions Pieces of card in the shape of mountains to represent the mountains A wooden doll

  1. Place the shapes to show how the mountain looked for them and the doll

  2. Pick out of 10 pictures what they could see and the doll could see

  3. Choose a picture and position the doll to see that view

New cards
46

what were piagets results

4-6.5 could not place the doll where the veiw matches the picture

7-9 can uderstand other veiwpoints

9-10 fully understand

New cards
47

state three conclusions

children that were 0-7 years old were egocentric

older children were not and were able to understand other veiwpoints and construct mentl representions

this provided evidence for his his theory of three stages of development

New cards
48

strengths and weaknesses of piagets study

Weaknesses

Validity: Piaget’s study did not have a realistic task. Children were asked to look at mountains so the study lacks mundane realism.

Validity: Piaget used qualitative data. Participants may give socially desirable responses which reduces the validity.

Generalisability: Piaget did not have a range of cultures. He only used Swiss children.

Strengths

Validity: Piaget provided a lot of detail about children’s development. We know when children stop being egocentric.

Reliability: Piaget used careful controls in his study. The same mountain was used every time.

Validity: Piaget used qualitative data. Data is in detail and from the individual which makes it valid.

Validity: Children were from Switzerland and familiar with mountain scenery so the task is argued to be a natural task.

New cards
49

what is a schema

association besed on an experience

New cards
50

what is equilibrium

when a childs schemas work for them (mental balance)

New cards
51

what is assimilation

incorporating new ideas to schemas

New cards
52

what is an accomodation

when a schema stops working and needs to be changed(recognition)
