Document Summary
Chapter 5: cognitive development during the first three years. Behaviorist: mechanics of learning; how behavior changes with experience. Babies are born with the ability to learn. Classical conditioning: responding to a stimulus, and then being able to anticipate (predict) the stimulus (e. g. , blinking before a flash) a child could blink before the flash of a camera goes off next time . Operant conditioning: reinforcement and punishment: increasing or decreasing the likelihood of a behavior. E. g. complementing when your child after eating out behaves increases the likelihood they"ll behave next time. Psychometric: measuring quantitative differences in abilities (measuring cognition in some ways) Iq tests: measure factors that make up intelligence. The results predict future (school) performance, there are different iq tests for different stages of life. Bayley scales of infant and toddler development: measures current development (what"s going on right now), not future functioning. Helps for early detection of emotional disturbances and sensory,
