- ABee
- BBaillargeon
- CChomsky
2Name three nativist psychologists
- AChomsky
- BBee
- CBaillargeon
- DPiaget
- EVygotsky
3The informational processing approach. According to [blank_start]Bee,[blank_end] four ways in which information processing changes are [blank_start]Capacity[blank_end], Awareness, [blank_start]Rules[blank_end] and Efficiency
- ABee,
- BChomsky,
- CPiaget,
- DCapacity
- EDurability
- FRules
- GLearning
4According to Chomsky, children acquire language without help. They have an innate language acquisition device.
- ATrue
- BFalse
5Baillargeon believes object permanence is learned through interaction with the environment.
- ATrue
- BFalse
6In Baillargeon's study of [blank_start]object permanence[blank_end], children were shown expected events and unexpected events.
Expected = [blank_start]carrot[blank_end] could [blank_start]not be seen[blank_end] through window as it was too short.
Unexpected = Carrot should have been viewable as it was [blank_start]tall enough[blank_end] to be seen through window however wasn't there .
They looked [blank_start]longer[blank_end] at the unexpected event so they thought it should have been there - object permanence.- Aobject permanence
- Bconservation
- Csheep
- Dcarrot
- Ebird
- Fnot be seen
- Gbe seen
- Htall enough
- Itoo short
- Jlonger
- Kfor less time
7A criticism of Baillargeon's study is that she didn't study new borns but claimed their behaviour was innate.
- ATrue
- BFalse
8The information processing approach says
- AWith age perception, memory and problem solving become sophisticated.
- BLanguage aids cognitive development.
- CScaffolding aids learning.
9In 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.
- APiaget
- BFlavell
- CBee
10A 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.
- ATrue
- BFalse
11Siegler's over lapping wave experiment. He showed children between [blank_start]5 and 17[blank_end] a balance scale with weights on either side. He moved the weights around and asked them which side [blank_start]would fall[blank_end].
5yrs - chose side [blank_start]with most weights[blank_end].
9yrs - chose the side that had the most weights furthest away from the fulcrum.
Over 9yrs [blank_start]took into consideration[blank_end] both the number of weights and distance from the fulcrum- A5 and 17
- B1-5
- C20-30
- Dwould fall
- Ewould'nt move
- Fwith most weights
- Gthat had the most weights furthest away
- Htook into consideration
- Iignored
12Siegler said we develop sets of rules for problem solving as we get older.
- ATrue
- BFalse
13What is involved in Scaffolding?
- ADemonstration
- BImitation
- CInstruction
- DPraise
- EExcess help
- FEncouragment
- GRemoval of help when capable
14Which study supports scaffolding
- AConnor et al and problem solving
- BFlavell and recall of images with verbal repetition
- CPiaget and three mountains
15What is guided participation?
- AThe use of scaffolding to teach cultural skills
- BA language acquisition device
- CObject permanence
16Which study proves guided participation as a way of learning cultural skills
- AChris and Greenfield - Mexican weaving.
- BDasen - Australian spatial skills.
17According to Vygotsky, culture affects the rate of learning. Which study supports this?
- AConnor et al - Problem solving and scaffolding.
- BDasen - Australian spatial skills.
- CPiaget - Three mountains task
18who believes language aids cognitive development ?
- APiaget
- BVygotsky
19In the Behrend et al study they found that children who used [blank_start]inner speech[blank_end] were [blank_start]better[blank_end] at problem solving than those who didn't.
- Ainner speech
- Bverbal repetition
- Cbetter
- Dworse
20Vygotsky believed scaffolding expands the zone of proximal development. What is this?
- AThe gap between what you can do alone and with help
- BThe ability to see someone else's view point
- CUnderstanding that something can belong to a sub category that belongs to a over-all category.
21Piaget and Vygotsky beliefs about cognitive development differed greatly. Piaget thought children were [blank_start]mini-scientists[blank_end] whereas Vygotsky believed they were [blank_start]mini - apprentices[blank_end]. Piaget believed children could only learn when [blank_start]cognitively ready[blank_end] whereas Vygotsky believed they could be encouraged to learn through scaffolding. Piaget believed cog dev occurs at [blank_start]the same rate[blank_end] for everyone whereas Vygotsky believed [blank_start]culture[blank_end] impacted your development. Piaget believed cog dev is essential to learn language whereas Vygotsky believed language aided cognitive development.
