Psychological development

This cognitive achievement is why peek-a-boo works with babies

• Imprinting

• Representational thought

• Accomodation

• Object Permanance

A cognitive achievement that involves understanding that quantity stays the same despite the shape.

• Object permanence

• Conservation

• egocentrism

• Schema

An infant who has developed object permanence...

• is attached to specific objects, such as a blanket.
• will see all objects as being the same.
• knows that an object, such as a rattle, exists even if it is not in view.
• cries when a wanted object is taken away.

According to Piaget, children come to understand that the volume of a substance remains constant despite changes in its shape during the ________ stage.

• sensorimotor
• preoperational
• concrete operational
• formal operational

According to Piaget, during the formal operational stage people begin to:

• use abstract thinking
• adhere to social norms
• distinguish between good and bad behaviors
• become aware of the positive and negative consequences of their own behaviors

Cindy understands her world primarily by grasping and sucking easily available objects. Cindy is clearly in Piaget's ________ stage

• preoperational
• concrete operational
• sensorimotor
• formal operational

What is the first stage of Piaget's cognitive development?

• Preoperational
• Sensorimotor 
• Formal operational
• Concrete operational

Piaget study only children. He came up with 4 stages of development. The correct order of the stages was

• sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational and then formal operational.

• preoperational, concrete operational, formal operational and then sensorimotor.

• sensorimotor, concrete operational, formal operational and then preoperational.

• Preoperational, concrete operational, sensorimotor and then formal operational.

Pre-operational Stage (2-7 years)
During this stage, young children are able to think about things symbolically. This is the ability to make one thing - a word or an object - stand for something other than itself.
The infant has difficulty taking the viewpoint of others.  This is known as:

• conservation
• egocentrism
• centration
• scaffolding

At what stage do you see "egocentrism"?

• sensorimotor
• preoperational
• concrete operational
• formal operational
