Document Summary
Nature vs nurture: nature is what your born with, nurture is environment. Stability/change: what stays the same or what changes. Start by defining each and end with forming an example. Assimilate: thinking a cat is a dog, interpret new experiences in terms of existing schemas. Sensorimotor stage: from birth to two, learn by taking in everything through senses, object permanence, stranger anxiety. Preoperational: 2-6 or 7, pretend play-use bananas as a phone, egocentrism: what are piaget"s four stages and what do they attempt to outline? can"t put yourself in someone else"s shoes. Piaget lets us have a road map, these aren"t so absolute, but have framework. Concrete operational stage: 7-11, conservation, mathematical equations, thinking logically about concrete events. Formal operational: can now think abstract, after 12, morality, values. Preoperational: 2, 7,9: stranger anxiety, potential for mature moral reasoning, egocentrism, mathematical transformation, theory of mind. Kohlbert"s don"t want people to think you are a bad person, all about social.
