17Jean [blank_start]Piaget[blank_end] believed that representations of [blank_start]reality[blank_end] change at different stages- needed for adaptation. He wasn't interested in the amount of knowledge. Mental structures that enable individuals to interpret the world are called [blank_start]schemes[blank_end]. [blank_start]Assimilation[blank_end] is the idea that we modify new environmental information to [blank_start]fit[blank_end] into what is already known, where [blank_start]accommodation[blank_end] is the restructuring or modifying of a child's [blank_start]existing[blank_end] schemes so that new information is [blank_start]accounted[blank_end] for.
- APiaget

20The concrete operations stage is:
- AAges 0-2: senses and motion without use of symbols, object permanence and mobility allowing for knowledge acquisition.
- BAges 2-7: use of symbols, language matures, memory develops, imagination- most learning. Egocentrism, centration
- CAges 7-11: Physical properties of objects don't change even though appearance might (reversibility). Logical systematic manipulation of symbols to create objects ex. 1+1=2, 2-1=1
- D11-adult: abstract and hypothetical thinking, alternatives, logic, return to egocentric thinking.
21Egocentrism is/relates to:
- Athe inability to take other's perspectives

25Lev Vygotsky (Internalization)- the process of absorbing [blank_start]knowledge[blank_end] from the social and cultural context that has a [blank_start]major[blank_end] impact on how cognition unfolds over time.

33[blank_start]Attachment[blank_end] is intense social-emotional relationship with mother, father, or regular caregiver. Some species experience [blank_start]imprinting[blank_end] of the first moving object they see (Konrad Lorenz). John Bowlby says that humans are biologically predisposed to form attachments. He agreed with Maslow. He says attachment forms lifelong schema for relationships called [blank_start]internal working model[blank_end]. In class we watched a video portraying this, demonstrating Mary Ainsworth and the Strange Situation Test. The three main types of attachment style are secure, insecure-avoidant, and [blank_start]insecure-ambivalent/resistant[blank_end].This can be highly predictive of [blank_start]child's[blank_end] later behaviour and interactions with others.

43Lawrence [blank_start]Kohlberg[blank_end] and the theory of moral [blank_start]development[blank_end]- studied moral reasoning in [blank_start]seven[blank_end] stages. This was shaped by [blank_start]Piaget[blank_end], changing importance of consequences of [blank_start]acts[blank_end] and [blank_start]intentions[blank_end]. Moral [blank_start]dilemmas[blank_end] used to evaluate reasons for moral [blank_start]decisions[blank_end]. Children do not see morality as adults do- they are more interested in what others think.
