Cognitive Development flashcards

Using Cognitive Development flashcards

Start with Cognitive Foundations for a deck covering stages, mental structures and terms such as assimilation and accommodation. If you are working on Piaget's methods and ideas, the deck on the Piaget topic poses questions about the clinical method and cognitive equilibrium.

For study-based revision, Samuel and Bryant includes cards on the aim, conservation tasks and results. Symbolic Understanding asks about pictorial competence and a picture false belief task. You can also explore the deck on theory of mind in autism for definitions and false belief tests.

Build a revision routine

Work through a small group of cards and try to answer each prompt before checking it. Return to terms or questions you find difficult, then choose another deck on the same topic for a different set of prompts.

When you want a visual overview, switch to a mind map on the Cognitive Development unit page. A quiz can give you another way to check your recall. Choose a deck that fits the topic you are revising.
