| Intellectual Growth | Are those by which we get to know ourselves and our world: -Memory -Attention -Learning -Perception -Thought -Problem-solving |
| 4 Stages of Cognitive Development | 1. Sensorimotor stage(Birth-2 years) 2. Preoperational stage(2-7 years) 3. Concrete Operations stage(7-12 years) 4. Formal Operations stage(12 years upwards) |
| Sensorimotor stage | Cognition closely tied to external stimulation “Thinking is doing” (cognition consists entirely of behaviour) |
| The idea that objects do not cease to exist when they are out of sight | Object permanence |
| Birth – 3 months | Look at visual stimuli Turn head towards noise |
| Follow moving objects with eyes Stares at place where object has disappeared,but will not search for object | 3 months |
| 5 months | Grasp and manipulate objects Anticipate future position of objec |
| Searches for hidden object “A not B” effect | 8 months |
| 12 months | Will search in the last place they saw the object |
| A mental representation or set of rules that defines a particular behaviour category. It helps us to understand current and future experiences. | Schema formation |
| Assimilation | The process by which new information is modified to fit in with an existing schema |
| The process by which an existing schema is modified or changed by new experience | Accomodation |
| Representational Thought | Ability to form mental representations of others’ behaviour. Occurs towards the end of the sensorimotor period. |
| Mental representation is instrumental in? | -Imitation -Deferred imitation - A child’s ability to imitate the actions he or she has observed others perform in the past -Symbolic play -The use of words to represent objects |
| Preoperational stage | -Ability to think logically as well as symbolically -Rapid development of language ability -Object Manipulation |
| The understanding that specific properties of objects (height, weight, volume, number) remain the same despite apparent changes or arrangement of those objects. | Conservation |
| Egocentrism | A child’s belief that others see the world in precisely the same way that he or she does |
| Concrete Operations stage | -Ability to perform logical analysis -Ability to empathise with the thoughts/feelings of others -Understanding of complex cause-effect relations |
| -Abstract Reasoning -Metacognition -Dependent on exposure to principles of scientific thinking | Formal Operations stage |
