basic principles of Piagets theory
|
-children need to make sense of the world
-develop schemes initially for behavior, but eventually for mental activities |
|
scheme
|
cognative structure that organizes experiences
|
|
processes that help children deal with new information
|
organization-process of rearranging and liking together shemes
adaptation-process by which children deal with new info. |
|
assimilation vs. accomodation
|
assimilation-incorprating new experiences into existing schemes ex. calling butterfly a bird
accomodation- changing schemes based on experiences ex. correcting oneself and calling butterfly a butterfly |
|
equilibrium
|
schemes are not changing. comfortable, cognative state-assimilation used more often that accomodation
|
|
disequilibrium
|
schemes are changing rapidly, cognitive discomfort
greated use of accomodation than assimilation |
|
sensorimotor stage
|
occurs from birth to 2 years
6 substages |
|
6 substages of Piaget's sensorimotor stage
|
1-reflexive stage (birth - 1mo)
2-primary circular reactions (1-4 mos)- simple motor skills oriented towards infants own body 3- secondary circular rxns (4-8 mos)- repeat actions that affect the environmnt. 4- coordination of 2ndary circular rxns (8-12 mos)- more than 1 scheme combined 5- tertiary circular rxns (12-18 mos)- repeats action with variation 6- mental representation (18-24 mos)- internal images of absent objects and past events |
|
research disputing Piaget's theory
|
infants display understanding earlier than Piaget though.
infants develope gradually, rather than step by step. |
|
emotion
|
response of the whole organism
physiological arousal expressive behavior conscious experience |
|
Basic Emotions
|
happiness, interest, suprise, fear, anger, sadness, and disgust
-directly inferred by facial expressions -appear in the first year of life |
|
newborn global arousal states
|
-attraction to pleasant stimulation
-withdrawl from unpleasane stimulation -calm, attentive, distressed |
|
social smile
|
smile evoked by stimulus of human face
appears b/t 6 and 10 weeks |
|
stranger axiety
|
infant shows fear when stranger appears
based on: temperment past experience w/ strangers situation in which baby and stranger meet |
|
contingent responding
|
infants often match their own emotions to other's emotions
they must be able to distinguish affective expressions |
|
social referencing
|
in unfamiliar environment, infants look to parent for cues to interpret situation
starts b/t 8-10 mos helps regulate emotional experiences |
|
visual cliff experiment w/ 1 yr olds
|
when mom is smiling on other side, 74% infants cross
when mom shows fear, 0% cross |
|
attatchment
|
enduring social-emotional relationships
characterized by tendancy to seek out and maintain closeness. |
|
cupboard love theory
|
infant attatches to mom becuase she fufills his physiological needs (food, clothes)
Not True! |
|
primary object sucking theory
|
infants have a built in porpensity to relate to the human breast-attatched to mother
problem-non breast feeding children still have attatchment |
|
Primary return to the womb craving
|
infants resent their ectrusion from the womb
|
|
Bowlby's ecological theory
|
child becomes attatched to person who meets emotional needs
ensures survival -early social bx b/t infant and caregiver result of evolutionary process -infant is helpless at birth -parent develops caregiving bond -emotional bond mother feels for child |
|
infant promotes paregiver by what bx
|
make interactions pleasant
cute appearance Juvinile Features-bulging cranium, retracted chin, small nose, large eyes |
|
psychosocial implications of attatchment theory
|
-attatchment relationships are template for social relations
-provides basis for conceptualization of self and others -if needs are met, view self as worthy of love -leads to ability to self soothe |
|
strange situation
|
measures quality of attatchment
b/t 12-18 mos -involves separations and reunions w/ parent -focus on child's bx upon mother return |
|
Bx of secure attatchment in strange situation
|
infant may or may not cry
greet mom upon return seeks mom out if upset easily comforted by parent 65% in USA |
|
Bx of insecure-avoidant infant in strange situation
|
-don't appear distressed @ seperation
- physiologically distressed -ignore and avoid mom upon return -20% in USA |
|
Bx of an insecure-resistand infant in strange situation
|
-remain close to parent before departure
-display angry, resistive bx upon return -doesn't return to play -cry a lot -10% in USA |
|
Bx of insecure-disorganized infant in strange situation
|
-mix avoidant and ambivolent bx
-show confused bx -show fear, remain still, or turn in circles at mom return -5% in USA |
|
determanants of Attatchment quality
|
parent home bx-history of parents car for infant
infant conditional strategy-how they deal with parent home bx infant temperment-biological personality |
|
Parent home behaviors of the different attatchments
|
secure-responsive to child's emotional needs
avoidant-reject emotional needs ambivolent-inconsistant response to emotional needs disorganized- ? child abuse |
|
infant conditional strategy in different attatchments
|
secure- shows true emotions
avoidant-minimize emotions and use of caregiver ambivolent- maximize emotions and caregiver use disorganized- no strategy |
|
infant temperment of different attatchments
|
secure-low-high
avoidant-low, don't get upset easily ambivolent-high-gets upset very easily disorganized-low-high |
|
Later development of secure children
|
good self-esteem
good peer relationships maximize cognative abilities |
|
later development of insecure avoidant children
|
-bullying
-aggressive behavior |
|
later development of insecure ambivolent children
|
-socially withdrawn
-victimized |
|
outline of toddler language development
|
6-9 months-babble
12 months- 1 word sentence 18 months-3 word sentences 36 months-complex grammer |
|
sensitive period hypothesis
|
certain kinds of experiences are especially important at particular points in development
|
|
early baby sounds
|
2 months-cooing ah, oo show positive emotions
6 months- reduplicated babbling- babababa can't reinforce babbling to creat words even deaf children babble |
|
referencial communication
|
indicates items in environment
first seen 11-12 months |
|
proto-declaritive signal
|
gestures to call adults attention to something
|
|
proto-imperative signal
|
gestures to get an adult to do something
|
|
protoword
|
voaclization w/ constant meaning but word doesn't resemble real word.
ex lala for bird starts 10-12 months |
|
child's first word usually:
|
-important people
-moving objects -familiar actions -outcomes of familiar actions |
|
referential style vs. expressive style
|
referential-words refer to objects or events usually show this style for first word
expressive style-vocab contains larger # personal/social workds expressing social routines. ex. please more likely in Asian aultures |
|
semantics
|
meaning of words and sentences
|
|
factors influencing aquiring words
|
whole object constraint-children assume that new words apply to whole object rather than parts
-mutual exclusivity constraint- assume that each word refers to different things -taxonomic constraint-assume that the same word must refer to things that are similar -fast mapping- map a new word onto an underlying concept after just 1 encounter |
|
naming explosion
|
child goes from knowing few works to identifying everything
between 18 & 21 months may learn 50 words/week |
|
comprehension vs. production
|
comprehension-language child understands
production-words child uses comprehension first |
|
errors in early word use
|
underextension- apply word to smaller collection of objects than is typically done
overextension-apply word to wider collection of objects mismatches- infants and adults have different references |
|
why do children incure error?
|
-vague or incorrect labeling by others
-improvement in child's category development -means of communicating w/ limited vocab |
|
syntax
|
organizing words into phrases
(rules of grammar) |
|
overregularization
|
using a rule for all cases, even when it shouldn't be applied
|
|
holophrase
|
one word sentence w/ communicative intent.
Ex. 'UP' parent interprets pick me up |
|
telegraphic speech
|
2 word stage
toddlers arrange words in correct order for their language |
|
echoing
|
correctly repeat the word back to child
|
|
recasting
|
restate what child said in a different way...fill in missing words of child's sentences
|
|
expanding
|
use other descriptave words to add to the words the child is using
|
|
labeling
|
child is exposed to new things and you label them
|
|
symbolic substitutions
|
one thing symbolizes something else
replica objects-army men..increased use from 14-19 months substitute objects-object takes place of another-use around 24 months double substitutions seen at 36 months |
|
cognitive functions of pretend play
