II. Cognitive development I. Describe: General sequence II. Explanations: Natural biases, innate expectations, socio-cultural input, language

Describe: General Sequence

1. Infants have primary concepts.

-Object concepts
-Number concepts
-Person concepts

Object Permanence

Objects exist even when not in view

For Piaget, conceptual understanding emerges from sensorimotor development

For 2 substages, infants actions involve their own body.
--Reflexes
--Primary circular reactions: repeating actions that are pleasurable (i.e., thumb sucking)

Substages 3, 4, 5 and then substage 6 (18-24 mod):
--Representational thought
---Object permanence, language, pretend play

Baillargeon's Procedure

Habituate to passing car

younger children focus exclusively on one dimension ( the height of liquid or length of chips).

Older children coordinate the vertical dimension and the circumference of the container (or length of the row and 1:1 correspondence.)

Results:
Infants in both groups looked longer at the incorrect outcome:
--Infants in the 1+1 group looked longer at 1
--Infants in the 2-1 group looked longer at 2
--In control 1+1 condition, infants also looked longer at 3

Wynn concludes:
--> Infants possess numerical concepts.

Implications

Contra piaget, it is unlikely that basic number concepts develop late.

Although actions on objects do become progressively coordinated, infants understand much about the solidity, permanence and number of

    K201 Lecture portion

    According to Michael Porter all firms and businesses engage in one of the four competitive strategies, those four strategies are: Lower cost across the industry, Lowest cost within an industry segment, Better product/service across the industry and Better product /service within an industry segment. Among the four competitive strategies aTiM engages in focusing within the industry segment by offering a specific type of product within the framework of art. For example, aTiM does not provide products/services for all types of artwork but focuses on ceramics, textiles and photography. aTiM also serves the Bloomington area supporting those artist from within the community and not across the country making their consumer base and artist base segmented from the rest of the art industry nationwide. This business strategy helps aTiM focus in developing their artists’ skills in order to make artwork that dominates this particular market both in a sense of the type of art that is produced as well to where the art is sold. If aTiM selects a cost strategy rather than a differentiation strategy, they would have to lower the cost of the artwork they are currently selling. However, doing so will greatly damage the revenue source for aTiM.. In addition, differentiating their services does not only have to refer to customers but also artist. Whether the artist is local or is from out of town, once aTiM provides best services for artwork promotion, low service rates will lead to a higher rate of artworks sold with more and more artist wanting to join the aTiM team, resulting in high profit margins for aTiM. With more artists wanting to team up with aTiM they will then have the ability to spend less on paying their artists, lowering their overall costs.…

    CD virtual child critical thinking questions

    Starting at 8 months my child has already gone through the first 3 sub stages of Piaget’s six sub stages of the sensorimotor stage. Simple reflexes was demonstrated while feeding, first habits and primary circular reactions where shown when studying things while looking at them and not touching. Secondary circular reactions happened when playing with toys like a rattle. Coordination of secondary circular reactions were seen when you would try to find a toy that was hidden, and even if the spot was changed would still look and find it under another toy. An example of the tertiary circular reactions was when in the bath he would push his toys under water and watch how the further he pushed down the higher they would pop back up. For the beginnings of thought he now seems interested in dancing or singing along to music, and will respond to it. Information processing approach I can categorize the finding of the hidden toy as the encoding, storage and retrieval, because initially he could not find it, then could find it but not if you changed the location, and then finally could find it no matter where you hid it.…

    Nvq Level 3

    While the sequences are common amongst most children what often changes is the rate in which they develop the skills. It is important to monitor a child's sequence and rate of development in order for us to determine the kind of help he/she will need and of whom they will need to be referred too. From the birth of a child to the moment the child starts to talk, the child will go through different stages of development and at different rates. At first a baby will start to learn simple reflexes by exploring new objects through the means of touching and seeing, over an average period of six weeks. At the end of the six weeks, or sooner or later depending on the baby (this is an example of rate of development), the baby's hands…

    Piaget's Stages Of Cognitive Analysis

    By the age of 2, the child should have completed the first stage, the sensorimotor period. The child should have mastered the concept of object permanence (i.e., an object doesn’t cease to exist just because it cannot be seen). In addition, the child should exhibit some form of reasoning. Movements and thoughts are no longer carried out by the entire body. As a result, thinking and movements should become more complex.…

    Piaget's Theory Of Cognitive Development Essay

    Symbolic thought, or the ability to visualize things that are not actually present, occurs in the sixth substage. This development begins the transition to the preoperational stage of cognitive development in Piaget’s theory. Piaget demonstrated the development of all these skills in the sensorimotor stage with the “Blanket and Ball Study” in 1963, where a ball is shown to the child and then hidden with a blanket. It is then taken out from under the blanket by Piaget and placed in a different location (Freud et al). Piaget deduced that before 8 months the baby made no attempt at searching and had no conception of object permanence. He found that between the ages of eight and twelve months they can perform the simple search, but if they have to retrieve it from a new area they will be unsuccessful. Between 12 and 18 months, Piaget found that both tasks of retrieving the ball are completed correctly and the child has developed the object’s…
