Explanation

Question 4 of 21

1

According to Chomsky, children acquire language without help. They have an innate language acquisition device.

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 5 of 21

Baillargeon believes object permanence is learned through interaction with the environment.

Select one of the following:

  • True

1

In Baillargeon's study of , children were shown expected events and unexpected events.
Expected = could through window as it was too short.
Unexpected = Carrot should have been viewable as it was to be seen through window however wasn't there .
They looked at the unexpected event so they thought it should have been there - object permanence.

Explanation

Question 7 of 21

1

A criticism of Baillargeon's study is that she didn't study new borns but claimed their behaviour was innate.

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 8 of 21

1

The information processing approach says

Select one of the following:

  • With age perception, memory and problem solving become sophisticated.

  • Language aids cognitive development.

  • Scaffolding aids learning.

Explanation

Question 9 of 21

1

In whose study were 20 children shown 7 images and asked to recall them. In this study 5 year olds did not use verbal repetition. 10 year olds did use this to aid recall. This shows with age they develop rules for problem solving.

Select one of the following:

  • Piaget

  • Flavell

  • Bee

Explanation

Question 10 of 21

1

A criticism of Flavell's study is that when the younger children were taught to use verbal repetition they all recalled at the same rate. This shows their memory doesn't become more sophisticated. Instead they develop better rules for memory recall (repetition) and so their efficiency increases.

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 11 of 21

1

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

Siegler's over lapping wave experiment. He showed children between ( 5 and 17, 1-5, 20-30 ) a balance scale with weights on either side. He moved the weights around and asked them which side ( would fall, would'nt move ).
5yrs - chose side ( with most weights, that had the most weights furthest away ).
9yrs - chose the side that had the most weights furthest away from the fulcrum.
Over 9yrs ( took into consideration, ignored ) both the number of weights and distance from the fulcrum

Explanation

Question 12 of 21

1

Siegler said we develop sets of rules for problem solving as we get older.

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 13 of 21

1

What is involved in Scaffolding?

Select one or more of the following:

  • Demonstration

  • Imitation

  • Instruction

  • Praise

  • Excess help

  • Encouragment

  • Removal of help when capable

Explanation

Question 14 of 21

1

Which study supports scaffolding

Select one of the following:

  • Connor et al and problem solving

  • Flavell and recall of images with verbal repetition

  • Piaget and three mountains

Explanation

Question 15 of 21

1

What is guided participation?

Select one of the following:

  • The use of scaffolding to teach cultural skills

  • A language acquisition device

  • Object permanence

Explanation

Question 16 of 21

1

Which study proves guided participation as a way of learning cultural skills

Select one of the following:

  • Chris and Greenfield - Mexican weaving.

  • Dasen - Australian spatial skills.

Explanation

Question 17 of 21

1

According to Vygotsky, culture affects the rate of learning. Which study supports this?

Select one of the following:

  • Connor et al - Problem solving and scaffolding.

  • Dasen - Australian spatial skills.

  • Piaget - Three mountains task

Explanation

Question 18 of 21

1

who believes language aids cognitive development ?

Select one of the following:

  • Piaget

  • Vygotsky

Explanation

Question 19 of 21

1

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

In the Behrend et al study they found that children who used ( inner speech, verbal repetition ) were ( better, worse ) at problem solving than those who didn't.

Explanation

Question 20 of 21

1

Vygotsky believed scaffolding expands the zone of proximal development. What is this?

Select one of the following:

  • The gap between what you can do alone and with help

  • The ability to see someone else's view point

  • Understanding that something can belong to a sub category that belongs to a over-all category.

1

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

Piaget and Vygotsky beliefs about cognitive development differed greatly. Piaget thought children were ( mini-scientists, mini - apprentices ) whereas Vygotsky believed they were ( mini - apprentices, mini - scientists ). Piaget believed children could only learn when ( cognitively ready, encouraged ) whereas Vygotsky believed they could be encouraged to learn through scaffolding. Piaget believed cog dev occurs at ( the same rate, at differing rates ) for everyone whereas Vygotsky believed ( culture, nature ) impacted your development. Piaget believed cog dev is essential to learn language whereas Vygotsky believed language aided cognitive development.
