Fichas del conjunto (23)
- 1What 3 themes are associated with Piaget's theory of the development of thinking?1) Discontinuity
2) Interactionism
3) Constructivism - 2What are the characteristics of Piaget's stage theory?Each stage represents a qualitatively different way of thinking. Stage are invariant and universal.
- 3What are Piaget's 4 categories?1) Sensorimotor (birth - 2)
2) Preoperational (2 - 7)
3) Concrete operational (7 - 12)
4) Formal operational (12+) - 4What are the key elements of the sensorimotor stage?Cognition is initially based on the infant's physical interactions with the world and solipsism, them begins to differentiate self from objects, recognises self as an agent of action, and finally achieves object permanence.
- 5Define object permanence.Understanding that things in the world continue to exist even when you can't sense them directly.
- 6Define solipsism.Failure to distinguish between yourself and the rest of the universe.
- 7What does the A not B task show?Infant knows that the object may exist when not seen directly, but they're still dominated by actions; rattle under cloth is understood in terms of their act of retrieving it. Perception is subordinate to action.
- 8What are the key elements of the preoperational stage?Symbolic and semi-logical thinking, cognitive limitations such as egocentrism, animistic thinking about lack conservation. Grasp of thins is largely intuitive and subjective.
- 9Define operational intelligence.The process of solving a problem by working through logical principles.
- 10Define decenter.To broaden attention to the various facets of a problem instead of fixating on just one.
- 11What does the conservation of quantity task show?The child ails to understand that changing an object/substance's appearance doesn't change its basic attributions or properties. Displays centration and lack of reversibility.

2) Inversion; it's only been poured
3) Identity; nothing was added or taken away. - 14What are the key elements of the concrete operational stage?Develops a grasp that a more objective reality is accessible. Can solve concrete problems in a logical way.
- 15What are the key elements of the formal operational stage?The adolescent can systematically reason about things that take a hypothetical form, and can solve a transitive inference problem on a purely mental level.
- 16Define transitive inference.A form of deductive reasoning that allows one to derive a relation between items that have not explicitly been compared before.
- 17What does the pendulum problem show?The adolescent is able to understand that an experiment must be carried out in a measured and systematic manner in order to make a sensible interpretation of the results.
- 18Define schemes.A mental operation that guides action or allows use to work through a problem in a principled way.
- 19Define assimilation.Applying an existing scheme to a novel task.
- 20Define accommodation.Modifying a scheme to adapt it to a new application.
- 21Define the coordination of schemes.Combining schemes to carry out an elaborate task.
- 22Define imaginary audience.A fantasy that people are watching your action with great intrigue.
