Document Summary
Cognitive development ( all the mental processes that are involved in knowing, thinking and remembering. Developmental psychologist are focused on knowing how all those things unfold ) Little scientists ( he thought that they would move by their curiosity, to come up with research questions [ex. why is this like this? ] and come up a hypothesis & testing it ) Learn on their own ( don"t need their parents ) Schemas: concepts for frameworks that organize info ( helps you. Assimilation: incorporate new info into existing schemas( how are make sense of the world with some type of structure ) frameworks get organized how we add more information to them ) Accommodation: adjust schemas to fit new info ( the schema doesn"t quite fit to everything we come in contact with, so we adjust it ) Stage theorists propose that development occurs in a progression of age-related, qualitative shifts.
