Plans for April 26 By the end of the period you should be able to Briefly explain who Piaget is Identify the ages and names of his first two stages Briefly explain the focus of each stage Explain what object permanence is how you know a child has attained it.

Read Cognitive Development The link is on my website Who is Piaget? What is he know for? After you read continue with the power point

Piaget Cognitive Development

Copy these notes

Piaget Terms to know Schemes- Mental patterns that guide behavior/an organized cognitive list Assimilation- using old methods to deal with new situations Accommodation- changing methods to adjust to new situations

Centration- focusing only on one aspect of a situation Reversibility- objects can be changed and then returned to the original state

Read the sensorimotor and preoperational stages Link is on my website- Piaget reading 2 Write one sentence in packet to explain the sensorimotor stage and one to explain the preoperational stage

Copy Notes Sensorimotor and Preoperational stages You need to be able to name the stage, identify the age and briefly explain what goes on during the stage

Sensory Motor Birth - age 2

Sensory Motor Characteristic a.learning is done through exploring with their senses -touch, taste, hear… -children who cannot use one of their senses compensate by highly developing another sense

b.children begin to understand that objects are not part of themselves c.thinking is displayed in action

Developmental Achievements Object permanence a.understanding that things still exist even if they cannot see them b.usually occurs at 8 months c.you know they have obtained it if they look for things when you hide them

Object permanence Watch this video JVhjS0&playnext=1&list=PL5B4A3359FFD3DE48http:// JVhjS0&playnext=1&list=PL5B4A3359FFD3DE48 Link for this video is on my website

Pre-Op 2-7

Preoperational Stage Characteristics- a.Egocentric-can only think of things based on their experiences- cannot see another’s point of view

Example of egocentricism Watch this video FgsIbh0http:// FgsIbh0 Link is on my website

Pre-op continued b.Animism- inanimate objects are capable of actions or lifelike qualities Ex- the sidewalk made me fall my stuffed animal is sad

Arificialism Things that happen in nature are created by humans example- the gods are bowling

apply what you know As a table, come up with 2 examples of animism and one example of artificialism - write them in on the side of your outline

Pre-op continued preoperational kids are not very good at thinking things out so they ask lots of questions. They have a tough time understanding what if

Developmental achievement a.Language b.Use of symbols to represent things -understanding a picture of an apple represents a real apple and can represent the letter A c. readiness for operational thought operational thought means being able to do things mentally (without concrete objects)

Assignment for Wednesday Find a toy that would be appropriate for a kid in the sensorimotor stage- Find a picture of the toy Write down the name of the toy Explain how it is used Why would this be a good toy for a sensory motor kid?

Concrete Operations Ages 7- adolescence (11) 1.Characteristics a.Use of simple logic b.Use of simple mental representations -they no longer need to use their fingers to do simple math or show how old they are

Developmental Achievements a.Conservation-matter doesn’t increase or decrease because of the change in form Conservation of Liquid- the amount of liquid doesn’t change if it changes form ( moves to a taller glass) Conservation of number- The amount doesn’t change if things get spaced out

Lack of Conservation of Liquid =autoplay&list=PL5B4A3359FFD3DE48&index=21&play next=2

a.Reversibility- math operations can be undone b.Class inclusion/Heirarchy- understanding the hierarchical nature of classifications ( red flowers and yellow flowers are all flowers) c.Seriation- arranging objects according to size

Formal Operations 1.Characteristics a. abstract thinking- what might happen? b.Concrete objects are not needed c.Everyone doesn’t achieve this
