Piaget Basics
This theorist proposed the sensorimotor stage.
Who is Jean Piaget?
Reflexive behaviors that dominate early infancy.
What are reflexes?
Involuntary learning through association is called this.
What is classical conditioning?
Early memory tends to be this.
What is fragile or limited?
Understanding words before speaking shows this.
What is language comprehension?
Infants learn through senses and actions during this stage.
What is the sensorimotor stage?
Repeated actions that produce interesting results.
What are circular reactions?
Voluntary learning through association is called this.
What is operant conditioning?
Poor recall of early childhood is called this.
What is infantile amnesia?
Gestures support early communication.
What is true?
Piaget believed infants actively do this with knowledge.
What is construct knowledge?
Circular reactions involving the environment.
What are secondary circular reactions?
Copying others’ behavior is called this.
What is imitation?
Attention improves as infants grow older.
What is true?
Cognitive development supports language learning.
What is true?
Piaget originally believed infants lacked this ability early on.
What is object permanence?
Goal-directed behavior emerges during this period.
What is later sensorimotor development?
Infants learn best from this type of interaction.
What is social interaction?
Infants show a preference for this type of stimulus.
What is novelty?
Social interaction plays this role in language
What is an important role?
Modern research suggests Piaget did this to infant abilities.
What is underestimated them?
Mental representation allows infants to do this.
What is think about absent objects?
Learning and cognition are linked to this developmental process.
What is brain maturation?
Memory improves as this develops.
What is the brain?
Language learning reflects this interaction.
What is cognition and environment?
