1 Show The cognitive structures into which children organize their behaviors and knowledge are called 2 Two-year-old Miguel visits the zoo for the first time. When passing the lion cage Miguel exclaims, “Kitty!” for which of Piaget’s concepts would this be an example? 3 Piaget claimed that all of the following are true of his stages of cognitive development EXCEPT: 4 Little Raheem continually drops objects from his highchair and is fascinated by watching the objects fall. Which stage of Piaget’s sensorimotor period would Raheem likely be at? 5 At what age did Piaget say that an infant would first begin to search for completely concealed objects such as a ball covered by a blanket? 6 During which Piagetian stage do children develop the capacity to use symbols to represent objects and events? 7 Three-year-old Kecia saw a tree with droopy leaves and commented that the tree was “tired.” This is an example of Kecia’s 8 Preoperational children cannot solve conservation tasks because they focus on only one dimension of an object. This type of thought is referred to as 9 Piaget’s theory of cognitive development has been criticized for all of the following reasons EXCEPT 10 The difference between a child’s problem-solving ability when working independently and when being assisted by an adult is referred to by _______ as _______ . 11 _______ refers to mental activity and behavior through which knowledge of the world is attained and processed. 12 When the child adjusts his schemata to fit a new experience, the child is 13 Casey likes to play with blocks and he has several different kinds: square wooden ones, large waffle-like ones, and small plastic ones that easily interlock. At first Casey just referred to these objects as “my blocks.” Now, when his mom suggests he play with his blocks he replies, “Which ones?”. This response indicates that Casey has 14 Alice’s three-month-old baby, Joshua, finds sucking his fingers very pleasurable after accidentally placing his hand in his mouth one day before nap time. Joshua now prefers to suck on his fingers instead of his blue pacifier. Joshua is most likely in Piaget’s __________ period of development. 15 Ray, age 5 months, watches as Mary places his stuffed teddy bear beneath his baby blanket during a game of peek-a-boo. Mary notices however, that Ray forgets about his bear if she leaves it hidden for more than a few seconds. Ray has not yet developed 16 Piaget divides the preoperational phase into which two sub-periods? 17 In which way does formal operations NOT differ from concrete operations? 18 Unlike earlier stages of cognitive development, formal operations are influenced by 19 An older sibling is helping a younger sibling complete a puzzle. The older sibling says, “Wait. Only put one piece in at a time.” The older sibling is 20 The “zone of proximal development” is important because Which of the following sensorimotor substage is a child begin to use symbols?Early Representational Thought (18-24 months)
Children begin to develop symbols to represent events or objects in the world in the final sensorimotor substage. During this time, children begin to move towards understanding the world through mental operations rather than purely through actions.
What are the substages of the sensorimotor stage?The sensorimotor stage of development can be broken down into six additional sub-stages including simple reflexes, primary circular reactions, secondary circular reactions, coordination of reactions, tertiary circular reactions, and early symbolic thought.
Which sensorimotor Substages does an infant develop the ability to use primitive symbols?Piaget's sixth and final sensorimotor substage, which develops between 18 and 24 months of age. In this substage, the infant develops the ability to use primitive symbols.
On which stage where the child can think about things symbolically?Preoperational Stage
During this stage (toddler through age 7), young children are able to think about things symbolically. Their language use becomes more mature.
