Document Summary
Lecture 10: higher-order cognition: problem solving and reasoning. Paradigm: presenting a scale model or picture and testing whether children are able to map spaces by using the information in the model or picture to guide their actions: early competence: Paradigms: tower of hanoi (3 disks: goal: to move the disks from the left to the right. The bigger ones cannot sit on smaller ones: early competence: 3- and 4-year olds can solve simplified problems: analogical reasoning formal analogy; reasoning based on relational similarity and it involves relational mapping of what one knows about the relations among some elements. Paradigms: (a:b::c:d a is to b as c is to d) or metaphor comprehension: need to find the matches for the relation to match a and b.
