Document Summary

Module 10. 2 infancy and childhood: cognitive and emotional. The cognitive changes that occur during infancy and childhood. The importance of attachment and the different styles of attachment. The concept of scaffolding and the zone of proximal development to understand how to best promote learning. Cognitive experience is based on direct, sensory experience with the world as well as motor movements that allow infants to interact with the world. Object permanence is the significant development milestone of this stage. Preoperational (2-7 years) thinking moves beyond the immediate appearance of objects. the child understands physical conservation and that symbols, language, and drawings can be used to represent ideas. The ability to perform mental transformations on objects that are physically present emerges. The capacity for abstract and hypothetical thinking develops. Usually, after 2 years of age they attempt to reach behind the barrier -> meaning that they do have object permanence.
