TRUE OR FALSE: is it possible to measure a baby's intelligence?

FALSE. it's virtually impossible

tests assess a baby's behavior on tasks and compare it with norms

3

What is a developmental test that is designed to assess kids that are 1month-3.5 years old

Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development

5

What are the 5 developmental areas that the Bayley Scales of Infance and Toddler Development measure?

1. cognitive
2. language
3. motor
4. social-emotional
5. adaptive

7

What is an early intervention?

Systematic process of planning and providing therapeutic and educational services for families that needs help in a child's developmental needs

10

What is a standardized measurement of environmental and interaction factors believed to be associated with adequate child welfare and outcomes?

Home Observation and Measurement of the Environment (HOME)

S

1

According to Piaget, what is the stage where infants learn about themselves and their world through developing sensory and motor activity?

Sensorimotor Stage

3

When a child groups isolated behaviors and thoughts into a higher-order system, Piaget called that as:

Organization

5

Explain Piaget's Sensorimotor Stage: Coordination of Secondary Schemes

- Coordinate previously learned schemes and use learned behaviors to attain their goals
- Can anticipate events

7

What are the 6 substages of Piaget's Sensorimotor stage?

1. Use of Reflexes
2. Primary circular reactions
3. Secondary circular reactions
4. Coordination of secondary schemes
5. Tertiary circular reactions
6. Mental combinations

10

Explain Piaget's Sensorimotor Stage: Primary Circular Reactions

Infants repeat pleasurable behaviors that first occur by chance (such as thumbsucking). Activities focus
on the infant’s body rather than the effects of the
behavior on the environment.

When given a bottle, a baby who is usually breast-fed, is able to adjust his sucking to the rubber nipple.

Y

1

According to Piaget, what are actions or mental representations that can be performed on objects?

Schemes

3

What is object permanence?

A child realizes that something continues to exist even when they don't see it

5

What is the representation ability?

Ability to mentally represent objects
and actions in memory, largely through symbols such as words, numbers, and mental
pictures

example: A child pretends that a block toy is a phone.

7

Explain Piaget's Sensorimotor Stage: Use of reflex

Infants exercise their inborn reflexes and gain some control over them. They do not coordinate information from their senses. 

A baby begins sucking when her mother’s breast is in her mouth.

10

Explain Piaget's Sensorimotor Stage: Secondary Circular Reactions

Infants become more interested in the environment; they repeat actions that bring interesting results and
prolong interesting experiences. Actions are intentional but not initially goal directed.

C

1

According to Piaget, what occurs when children use their existing schemes to deal with new information?

Assimilation


Additional 2 points if you can give an example

3

What is an example of deferred imitation?

A child imitating their parent cooking by using their toys

5

What is a behavior associated to secondary circular reactions according to Piaget?

A baby pushes pieces of dry cereal over the edge of his high chair tray and watches each piece as
it falls.

7

Explain disequilibrium and equilibrium

Disequilibrium is a state of cognitive imbalance that arises when new information conflicts with existing schemas

Equilibrium refers to a state of mental balance where a child can understand new information using their existing schemas

10

What is the difference of assimilation and accommodation?

Assimilation is the process of incorporating new information into existing cognitive structures or schemas. It involves using what you already know to understand new experiences.

Accommodation is the process of modifying existing cognitive structures to accommodate new information. It involves creating new schemas or significantly changing existing ones to fit new experiences.

H

1

According to Piaget, what occurs when children adjust their schemes to take new information?

Accommodation

Additional 2 points if you can give an example

3

What is perceptual Constancy?

Allows infants to perceive that their world is stable. Size constancy and shape constancy recognizes that objects' size and shape remains constant

5

What are the 6 key developments of the sensorimotor stage?

- imitation
- object permanence
- symbolic development
- categorization
- causality
- number

7

Explain Piaget's Sensorimotor Stage: Tertiary Circular Reactions

- Purposefully vary their actions to see results
- Actively explore the world
- Trial and error in solving problems

10

Explain Piaget's Sensorimotor Stage: Mental Combinations

- Can think about events and anticipate consequences
- Learns about numbers
