DEVELOPMENT OF COGNITION AND LANGUAGE

DEVELOPMENT OF COGNITION AND LANGUAGE

1. Intelligence

   • Heredity and environment influence
   • Gardener's theory of multiple intelligences
   • Sternberg's Triarchic theory of intelligence
     • Componential element
     • Experential element
     • Contextual element

2. Piagetian approach of cognitive development

   • Concrete Operational Children (7-11)
     • Spatial relationship and causality
     • Categorization
       • Seriation
       • Transitive inferences
       • Class inclusion
     • Reasoning
       • Inductive (operational stage)
       • Deductive (adolescence)
     • Conservation
       • Identity
       • Reversibility
         • Inversion
         • Consensation
     • Numbers and mathematics
       • They can resolve simple problems
       • 6-7 can add
       • 7-9 substraction
       • 7 fractions

3. Information-processing approach

   • Cognitive inhibition
   • Selective attention
   • Inhibitory control
   • Cognitive flexibility.
   • Working memory
   • Improvement
     • Selective attention
     • Working memory span
     • Metamemory
     • Mnemonics

4. Language

   • Vocabulary, grammar and syntax
   • Pragmatics
   • Becoming literate
     • Reading and writing
     • Metacognition

5. Introduction

   • Developmental milestones: some children sooner than others
   • Development as a process is continuous and relatively orderly
   • Learning, experience and social interaction all contribute.
   • Development is affected by both heredity and environment
