Document Summary
General: primary cognitive tasks are to coordinate sensory inputs and motor skills, develop problem-solving skills, symbolic problem solving, develop imitation. Preoperational (2-7y: develop symbolic function and representational insight, better understanding of phonemes, pretend play. Formal operational (11-12y: start to form identity, start to consider themselves without boundaries (what is possible in my life outside of my own home?, understand others" perspectives, weigh alternatives, question others. Piaget would say yes, but others say no b/c lack of education may create boundaries . Later piaget says yes, but only forms when the child is interested in the topic/subject. Key terms: reflexive reflective, primary secondary tertiary circular reactions. Imitation: object permanence, a-not-b error, dual representation, animism, egocentrism, lack of conservation, lack of decentration, lack of reversibility, mental seriation, transitivity, hypothetico-deductive reasoning. Development over relatively brief periods (bring child into lab every day for one week to see when they are going to crawl)
