Which of Piagets stages is characterized by Decentration and the ability to think logically about physical problems?

An extremely broad term that refers to pretty much anything that goes on inside your mind, including attention, perception, memory, language formation and development, reading and writing, thinking, problem solving, intelligence, creativity, imagination, expectation, intention, belief.262

1)  A basic unit of condition. The comprehension an infant has about different aspects has about different aspects of his or her world at any given moment. Piaget believed that infants develop schematic outlines (or maps) of what the world is like and maintain these outlines in their memories enabling them to organize their world into such action categories as “Things I cant touch” 264

1)  A term used by Piaget to describe the mechanism through which schemes develop as a result of adjustment to changes; such adjustment occurs through the processes of assimilation and accommodation. 264

1)  Piaget term for the actof taking in information and perception in a way that is compatible with perception in a way that is compatible with the person’s current understand of the world. 264

1)  Piagets term for the process in which a person adjusts or changes his or her cognitive structures to incorporate aspects of an experience not currently represented in them. 264

1)  Term used by Piaget to describe a hypothetical goal state achieved through an innate drive that focus a person actively to pursue cognitive adaptation. In this view, children have a natural inclination toward cognitive deployment.  Page 265

Functions of Disequilibrium

1)  The conflict that arises during disequilibrium, when cognitive structure are unable to comprehend external events, throws the child off balance, this leaves her feeling uncomfortable, and until she acquire a more sophisticated approach for accommodating new information, her equilibrium will not return. Page 265

Qualities of Piaget stage

1)  children are never observed to skip a stage, although sometimes, while leaving one person or stage and entering another, a child might exhibit cognitive aspects typical of both periods of stages. The Stages are universal, they are observed to occur in the human begins. 266

The first Piagets four periods of cognitive development is the sensorimotor period, which is characterized by a lack of fully, developed object performance. 266

1)  Term used by piaget to refer to the individual realization that objects continue to exist even though they are not presently sensed.  266

1)  With out mental sounds, images, symbols, or depictions to represent an object you would be unable to think of it, because you would have no internal way to representing it. In Other words, without object permanence “out of sight, out of mine” 266

1)  As the preoperational period sets in; the child demonstrates greater and greater use of symbolic functions. Language development increases dramatically, and imaginative play becomes more apparent as children spend much of their time engaging in make-believe. 273

1)  An Abstract idea based on grouping objects by common properties.274

1)  Immature concepts held by children in the preoperational stage. 274

1)  A type of reasoning used by per-conceptual children. In which objects are classified according to a limited and changing set of criteria. 274

- a type of reasoning used by per-conceptual children, in which inference is drawn about the relationship between two objects based on a single attribute. 275

1)  A kind of thinking common to children in the per conceptual stage, in which inanimate objects, especially those that move or appear to move, are believed to be alive. 275

1)  The latter portion of the preoperational period is called the intuitive stage because children’s beliefs are generally based on what they sense to be true rather than on what logic or rational thought would dictate… An intuitive child answers this problem by relying on his or her ability to imagine the position of beads rather than by applying any logical operations. 275

Period of Concrete operations

1)  Children in the period of concrete operation, tough, are able to use such logical rules to deal with problems. How children acquire a logical understand of the world is not clear, but they seem to do it rather alertly. 276

The principle the quantities such as mass, weight, and volume remain constant regardless of changes in the appearance of there quantities and that such changes in appearance can be undone, thereby regaining the original state by reversing any operation that had been performed. The concept of conservation encompasses the concepts of identity, decantation and reversibility. 276

1)  In Piagetian theory, a deep understanding that two objects will remain identical in some elemental way even though one of the objects may have its appearance altered in the some dramatic way. 276

In Piagetian theory, the ability, obtained during concrete operation, to understand that actions that affect objects, if reversed in sequence, will return that objects to their original state.277

1)  Term used by Piaget to describe the onset and order of different conservation abilities.  277

Besides conservation and reversibly, children in the period of concrete operations are able to engage into here their important logical operations. The first of these understanding serial position

1)  Although Preoperational children can count and relate number to certain objects, their understanding of numbers is quite limited. Before they enter the period of concrete operations, children generally have a poor grasp of the ordinal relationships among numbers.  279

1)  Piaget noted time and again that unlike children in the concrete operational period, who are still limited, adolescents and adults are able to apply logical rules to situations that violate principles of reality 279

Organismic structural approach

an approach to the understanding of cognitive development that takes as its metaphor that growing biological organism. Environmental influences of conative development are considered minor, with only extreme environmental forces having any appreciable effect on biological structure or development. 280

Mechanistic- Function Approach

-  an approach to the understanding of cognitive development that takes the machine as its metaphor. Environmental influences on cognitive development are considered major, since machines don’t change from within but must be added to from without. 280

Quantitative vs. Qualitative

3)  Skinners argued that children actually developed according to the principles of cumulative learning, that is, in an orderly and regular quantitative, not qualitative way. 282

Cumulative learning is, in an orderly and regular quantitative, not qualitative way. 282

Because you’re an adult, you’ll have no problem with the following conservation task, although a preoperational child would be hard pressed to deal with it.282

Universal discontinuous stages

3)  American learning theorist has many debates with Piaget and his followers (who were known collectively as the Geneva school, after the city of Geneva, Switzerland, where piaget lies and conducted his research).283

Brenda type the definition idk what it is  

Baillagero object permanence

3)  the apparatus used by Renée baillargeon to habituate infants in bother experimental and control groups to the actions of a moving screen. The infants were allowed to observe a screen raise up in front of them, reach its highest point at an angle of 90 degrees, and then continue on over once again to lie flat on the table top, having completed a rotation of 180 degree. Both groups of infants observed the same stimulation repeatedly until they become bored with it. 284

Meltzoff delayed imitation study-conclusion

– Andrew Meltzoff studies of delayed imitation. Meltzoff investigated the ability of 14 month old to imitate simple behaviors a full week after having seen an adult demonstrate them.  285

Schiff interpretation of non- conservation   

10)William Schiff, who conducted this because they don’t have conceptual understanding length but because they don’t understand the question “ which one is longer”286

Descriptive vs explanatory

10)Piaget’s cognitive theory has aspects of endeavor. Piaget theory is masterful. For over 50 years, piaget and his colleagues recorded the responses of thousands of children throughout the world to various cognitive tasks. 287

10)One must be careful not to generalize prematurely when dealing with specific findings. As description of a complex matter- the development of through- piglets theory is unequaled. There is no question about the accuracy of what Piaget observed as noted his finding have been confirmed repeatedly. However, explanations of why cognitive development progress as it does are not as clear. 287

Within and across domains development

·      Learning theorist- Learning theorist saw this as the creation of hundred of substrates that when lined up a graph, began to approach a steady learning carve of gradual acquisition of knowledge that leaning theorist has envisaged all along.

·      Piaget- Piaget address these concerns by considering each separate task along the Decalage, including language, as a different domain. In this way, each task was in accordance with Piaget theory in that children approached each one.

10)Piaget determined that children in the concrete operational stage were fairly good at the use of inductive logic. Inductive logic involves going from a specific experience to a general principle. On the other hand, children at this age have difficulty using deductive logic, which involves using a general principle to determine the outcome of a specific event.

abstract concepts illustrates

10)During this stage, children begin to reason logically, and organize thoughts coherently. However, they can only think about actual physical objects, and cannot handle abstract reasoning. They have difficulty understanding abstract or hypothetical concepts.

Hypothetical concepts illustrate

This stage is also characterized by a loss of egocentric thinking.

During this stage, the child has the ability to master most types of conservation experiments, and begins to understand reversibility. Conservation is the realization that quantity or amount does not change when nothing has been added or taken away from an object or a collection of objects, despite changes in form or spatial arrangement. The concrete operational stage is also characterized by the child’s ability to coordinate two dimensions of an object simultaneously, arrange structures in sequence, and transpose differences between items in a series. The child is capable of concrete problem-solving. Categorical labels such as "number" or "animal" are now available to the child

Systematic thinking- illustrate

The Formal Operational stage [ 3 ] is the final stage in Piaget's theory. It begins at approximately 11 to 12 years of age, and continues throughout adulthood, although Piaget does point out that some people may never reach this stage of cognitive development.

The formal operational stage is characterized by the ability to formulate hypotheses and systematically test them to arrive at an answer to a problem.

Pre-adolescent thinking and concrete perceptions illustrate

The following information is based on the work of Jean Piaget, a developmental biologist who devoted his life to closely observing and recording the intellectual abilities of infants, children and adolescents. Piaget concluded that human development involves a series of stages. Given below is an outline of the four stages of Piagetian development. During each of these new abilities are gained. Each stage prepares the child for the succeeding levels.

Also, A second limitation which is overcome in the concrete operational stage is the perceptual domination of one aspect of a situation. Before the stage begins, the child's perception of any situation or problem will be dominated by one aspect; this is best illustrated by the failure of pre-operational children to pass Piaget's conservation tasks (Piaget and Inhelder, 1974).

cross culture difference and formal operations

Regarding the issue of cross-cultural differences, this does cause more trouble for Piaget, but he still explicitly allows for the fact that abilities may show up at different times on different tasks, but it is the underlying mechanisms and strategies that he is concerned with.

The Formal Operational stage

is the final stage in Piaget's theory. It begins at approximately 11 to 12 years of age, and continues throughout adulthood, although Piaget does point out that some people may never reach this stage of cognitive development. The formal operational stage is characterized by the ability to formulate hypotheses and systematically test them to arrive at an answer to a problem. The individual in the formal stage is also able to think abstractly and to understand the form or structure of a mathematical problem

Notes about it all - ABSTRACT

Interrelationships among logical reasoning in the areas of proportions, probability, and correlation are reported. Age, gender, and analysis of ordering of the logical reasoning tasks were investigated in a sample of 94 students selected from the 8th, 10th, and 12th grades. A consistent grade-level increase in logical reasoning was found. No gender differences were found in performance in logical reasoning on the tasks, and the developmental relationship, which Inhelder and Piaget (1958) postulated, was shown to exist

probability and formal operations-

At the metasystematic order, ideal task completers act on systems; that is, systems are the objects of metasystematic actions. The systems are made up of formal-operational relationships. Metasystematic actions compare, contrast, transform, and synthesize systems. The products of metasystematic actions are metasystems or supersystems.

This stage was introduced by Herb Koplowitz (1982). (1) At the systematic order, ideal task completers discriminate the frameworks for relationships between variables within an integrated system of tendencies and relationships. The objects of the systematic actions are formal-operational relationships between variables. The actions include determining possible multivariate causes--outcomes that may be determined by many causes; the building of matrix representations of information in the form of tables or matrices; the multidimensional ordering of possibilities, including the acts of preference and prioritization. The actions generate systems.

most postformal research was originally directed towards an understanding of development in one domain. The common approach to much of the work on post formal stages has been to specify a performance on tasks that develop out of those described by Piaget (1950, 1952) as formal-operational or out of tasks in related domains (e.g., moral reasoning). The assumption has been made that the predecessor task performances (formal operations), are in some way necessary to the development of their successor performances and proclivities (post formal operations).

) Pre adolescent ego centrism vs. adolescent ego centrism

cording to Elkind, in conjunction with Piaget’s theory, adolescent egocentrism is to be understood in the context of ontogeny (referring to the development of an organism across its lifespan). These ontogenetic changes in egocentrism are thought to drive the development of logical and formal operational thinking. Elkind described an operation as a “mental tool whose products, series, class hierarchies, conservations, etc., are not directly derived from experience.”

Decentering (also known as Decentration) refers to the ability to consider multiple aspects of a situation. In Piaget's theory of cognitive development, the third stage is called Concrete Operational stage, where a child age 7-12 shows increased use of logic. One of the logical processes that develops is that of Decentering. For example, when asked to choose between two lollipops, a child might choose based on how one flavor is better than the other even though the other is the same size and color.
