Define Schema

• The principle that properties such as mass, volume, and number remain the same despite changes in the form of objects. (Piaget believed this to be part of concrete operational reasoning)

• Adapting our current schemas (understanding) to incorporate new information

• Interpreting our new experience in terms of our existing schemas

• A concept or framework that organizes and interprets information

Define Assimilation

• A concept or framework that organizes and interprets information

• Adapting our current schemas (understanding) to incorporate new information

• Interpreting our new experience in terms of our existing schemas

• Impairment of language, usually caused by left hemisphere damage either to Broca's area (impairing speaking) or to Wernicke's area (impairing understanding)

Define Accommodation

• A concept or framework that organizes and interprets information

• Interpreting our new experience in terms of our existing schemas

• Adapting our current schemas (understanding) to incorporate new information

• The principle that properties such as mass, volume, and number remain the same despite changes in the form of objects. (Piaget believed this to be part of concrete operational reasoning)

Define Sensorimotor stage

• In Piaget's theory, the stage (ages 2-7) at which a child learns to use language but does not yet comprehend the mental operations of concrete logic.

• In Piaget's theory, the stage(birth to 2 years) at which infants know the world mostly in terms of their sensory impressions and motor activates

• In Piaget's theory, the stage of cognitive development (ages 7-11) at which children can perform the mental operations that enables them to think logically about concrete events.

• In Piaget's theory, the stage of cognitive development (around age 12) at which people begin to think logically about abstract concepts.

Define Object permanence

• The awareness that things continue to exist when not perceived

• The principle that properties such as mass, volume, and number remain the same despite changes in the form of objects. (Piaget believed this to be part of concrete operational reasoning)

• In Vygotsky's theory, a framework that offers children temporary

• The early speech stage in which a child speaks like a telegram- using mostly nouns and verbs

Define Preoperational stage

• In Piaget's theory, the stage of cognitive development (around age 12) at which people begin to think logically about abstract concepts.

• In Piaget's theory, the stage (ages 2-7) at which a child learns to use language but does not yet comprehend the mental operations of concrete logic.

• In Piaget's theory, the stage of cognitive development (ages 7-11) at which children can perform the mental operations that enables them to think logically about concrete events.

• In Piaget's theory, the stage(birth to 2 years) at which infants know the world mostly in terms of their sensory impressions and motor activates

Define Conservation

• The principle that properties such as mass, volume, and number remain the same despite changes in the form of objects. (Piaget believed this to be part of concrete operational reasoning)

• In Piaget's theory, the preoperational child's difficulty taking another's point of view

• In Vygotsky's theory, a framework that offers children temporary

• The early speech stage in which a child speaks like a telegram- using mostly nouns and verbs

Define Egocentrism

• Impairment of language, usually caused by left hemisphere damage either to Broca's area (impairing speaking) or to Wernicke's area (impairing understanding)

• In Vygotsky's theory, a framework that offers children temporary

• In Piaget's theory, the preoperational child's difficulty taking another's point of view

• A concept or framework that organizes and interprets information

Define Concrete operational stage

• In Piaget's theory, the stage(birth to 2 years) at which infants know the world mostly in terms of their sensory impressions and motor activates

• In Piaget's theory, the stage of cognitive development (around age 12) at which people begin to think logically about abstract concepts.

• In Piaget's theory, the stage (ages 2-7) at which a child learns to use language but does not yet comprehend the mental operations of concrete logic.
