Piaget
This is Piaget's first stage of cognitive development in which children begin to explore the world through senses & motor activity.
What is the sensorimotor stage?
This parenting style is low in warmth and little to no communication between the parent and the child.
What is uninvolved (neglectful)?
This psychologist is famous for operant conditioning experiments with rats.
Who is B.F. Skinner?
This psychologist is famous for experiments with dogs and salivation.
Who is Ivan Pavlov?
What cognitive trait is being described in this example: A baby watches a toy roll behind a couch and begins searching for it, even though it is no longer visible.
Object Permanence
This parenting style is strict, rule-focused, and low in warmth.
What is authoritative?
This increases behavior by adding something desirable.
What is positive reinforcement?
The naturally occurring stimulus that triggers a reflex without learning.
What is the unconditioned stimulus?
The final stage of cognitive development involving abstract reasoning and hypothetical thinking.
What is formal operations?
This is a rapid, innate learning process occurring early in life, often studied in birds.
What is imprinting?
This decreases behavior by removing something desirable.
What is negative punishment?
Before conditioning, the bell in Pavlov’s experiment was this type of stimulus.
What is the neutral stimulus?
This theory says children actively build knowledge rather than passively receive it.
What is constructivism?
This parenting style combines high warmth with high expectations.
What is authoritative?
This increases behavior by removing something unpleasant.
What is negative reinforcement?
When the conditioned response weakens because the conditioned stimulus is no longer paired with the unconditioned stimulus.
What is extinction?
A student understands this idea that when the same amount of water is poured from a short, wide cup into a tall, skinny glass, the amount of water stays the same even though the shape changes.
What is conservation?
This parenting style is high in warmth but low in structure or discipline.
What is permissive?
An example of this would be if a student turns in all assignments on time for a week and the teacher gives the student a homework pass to encourage this behavior.
What is positive reinforcement?
After conditioning, salivating to the bell alone is called this.
What is the conditioned response?
