Document Summary

* self-monitoring (what do i know, what do i need to know, do i understand this?) * planning (strategize how you will help yourself to understand a concept) * self - regulation (commit to the strategy and learn the material/perform task). these steps lead to success and developing proper learning skills. Ex) self-regulating your emotions, managing your time, actually study etc. Babies can"t regulate the response of looking for a toy in the same place each time once it disappears. (object permanence) When i make a st, you make a st when i make a st, your point a nger, when i point a nger, you make a st etc . When i say night, you say moon, when i say day, you say sun! . Ex) the knock/tap task - pre-operational stage (~age 4) If i tap once, you tap twice, if i tap twice, you tap once. *** self-regulation is usually in place around age 7 ****
