Set 1
During this stage infants are able to discover certain cause and effect relations, even predict events within a short time span.
Sensorimotor stage
What is egocentrism in the context of the pre-operational stage?
Egocentrism refers to a child's inability to consider another person's perspective.
Areas in which Piaget’s work had an enormous impact on
Education and developmental psychology
During these ages, boys gain prestige by being physically aggressive, good at sports, daring, attention-getting, and friendly with other males; and girls give importance to being well-behaved and courteous, friendly, optimistic, and having sense of humor.
Concrete Operational stage
What are some typical concerns and developments during middle adolescence (14-16 years) ?
They start to develop their own code of ethics by considering what they believe is right. This period also involves thinking about different possibilities and forming their identity (Who am I?), as well as considering future goals (What do I want?)
During this stage individuals are capable of creating plans to get solutions and test them to any problem.
Formal operation stage
This is the stage of the transition from the use of concrete operations to the application of formal operation in reasoning.
Adolescence
It is the concept we use to explain how infants can replicate actions and think symbolically:
Deferred imitation
Piaget’s research indicates that this ability gradually evolves until it is finally acquired at about age 7 or 8
Seriation.
why do children in the pre-operational stage struggle with conservation?
Children in the pre-operational stage struggle with conservation because they focus more on the appearance of objects rather than their actual properties, which remain the same even when their physical appearance changes.
