Chapter 9- Early Childhood: Cognitive Development The Developing Person Through the Life Span 8e by Kathleen Stassen Berger Chapter 9- Early Childhood: Cognitive Development

Piaget and Vygotsky Piaget: Preoperational Thought Preoperational means “before (pre) logical operations (reasoning processes).” The child’s verbal ability permits symbolic thinking. Language frees the child from the limits of sensorimotor experience.

Make Believe With age, make believe gradually becomes More detached from real life conditions Less self-centered More complex Sociodramatic play

Piaget and Vygotsky Four Limitations of Preoperational Thought Centration- a young child focuses (centers) on one idea, excluding all others. Egocentrism- “self-centeredness” Focus on appearance- a thing is whatever it appears to be Static reasoning- belief that the world is unchanging Irreversibility- what is done cannot be undone

Egocentrism Failure to distinguish others’ views from one’s own. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLj0IZFLKvg

Conservation Conservation- The principle that the amount of a substance remains the same (is conserved) when its appearance changes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtLEWVu815o

Animism Belief that natural objects and phenomena are alive. Children simultaneously hold rational and magical ideas.

Vygotsky Social Learning Every aspect of children’s cognitive development is embedded in the social context. Guided participation- process by which people learn from others who guide their experiences and explorations (mentor).

Vygotsky Zone of proximal development (ZPD)-Vygotsky’s term for the skills—cognitive as well as physical—that a person can exercise only with assistance, not yet independently. Scaffolding- Temporary support that is tailored to a learner’s needs and abilities and aimed at helping the learner master the next task in a given learning process. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hx84h-i3w8U

Language as a Tool Private speech- The internal dialogue that occurs when people talk to themselves (either silently or out loud). Social mediation- Human interaction that expands and advances understanding, often through words that one person uses to explain something to another.

Theories on Child Thought Theory-theory- The idea that children attempt to explain everything they see and hear using theories Theory of mind- A person’s theory of what other people might be thinking. In order to have a theory of mind, children must realize that other people are not necessarily thinking the same thoughts that they themselves are. That realization is seldom achieved before age 4. Add Brain and Context?

Language Language is pivotal to every kind of cognition in early childhood. Early childhood is a sensitive period, the best time to master vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. The average child knows about 500 words at age 2 and more than 10,000 at age 6.

Language Fast-mapping The speedy and sometimes imprecise way in which children learn new words by tentatively placing them in mental categories according to their perceived meaning.

Language Basic Grammar Includes the structures, techniques, and rules that communicate meaning. Word order and word repetition, prefixes and suffixes, intonation and emphasis. Overregularization- The application of rules of grammar even when exceptions occur, making the language seem more “regular" than it actually is.

Early Childhood Education Child-Centered Programs Stress children’s natural inclination to learn through play rather than by following adult directions. Show the influence of Vygotsky, who thought that children learn from other children and through cultural practices that structure life.

Early Childhood Education Teacher-Directed Programs Stress academic subjects taught by a teacher to an entire class. Children learn letters, numbers, shapes, and colors, as well as how to listen to the teacher and sit quietly. Make a clear distinction between work and play. Are much less expensive, since the child/adult ratio can be higher.

Early Childhood Education Intervention Programs Project Head Start- The most widespread early-childhood education program in the United States, begun in 1965 and funded by the federal government. At first, the program was thought to be highly successful at raising children’s intelligence; ten years later, early gains were said to fade.
