The last activity that we did was taking ten Q tips and made three attached squares and her assignment was to make a 4th enclosed box without adding an additional items. Once I told her to start she immediately started moving the Q tips around trying to create another box. After trying for a few minutes she then say there is no way to add another box. Throughout these activities and questions Kimora is within the stage she should be according to Piaget’s Stages of Cognitive Development. She is nine-years- old and falls in the category of Concrete Operational both by Piaget’s standards and the tests performed throughout this case study. Like Piaget Erikson also has a theory on how children develop and this is called Erikson’s Psychosocial

    • Case Study Of Jean Piaget's Cognitive Development
      explanatory essay
      Jean Piaget proposed four major periods of cognitive development the sensorimotor stage (birth- 2 years), the preoperational stage (ages 2-7), the concrete operational stage (7-11), and the formal operational stage (ages 11- adulthood). He called these stages invariant sequence and believed that all children went through all these stages in the exact order without skipping one. The ages in these stages are only average ages some children progress differently. The point of this message is that humans

      • Explains that jean piaget proposed four major periods of cognitive development: the sensorimotor stage (birth- 2 years), the preoperational phase (ages 2-7), the concrete operational stage (7-11), and the formal operating stage.
      • Explains that ahmad is a six-year-old first grader who lives at home with his mother edwina and 2 older brothers a.j. and tre in an apartment in meridian, ms.
      • Explains how they lined up two sets of quarters on a table in front of ahmad and asked him which set had the most.
      • Explains how ahmad believed that the second row of quarters had the most. he instead focused on the amount of space between each quarter. preoperational children do not fail to conserve length because of centration, misleading perceptual information, or immature cognitive operations
      • Explains how they tried reversibility with ahmad. children should be able to tell an answer even if you reverse a certain problem around.
      • Explains how they used piaget's preoperational stage egocentric, where children believe that everyone sees the world the same way that they do.
      • Opines that the case study experiment has taught them a lot about the way children should develop throughout their lives.

      analytical essay
      Quiz 2 Question 1 - Piaget’s Cognitive Theory Examine how Piaget’s theory applies as we begin to understand that Julie goes through the phases of Piaget’s cognitive theory to explain the child’s behavior. Piaget believed that children do not just intake information to grow and mature, but a unique shift in observation of the world (Lecture notes 8). Piaget believed that children conceptualize a children’s intellectual growth (learning) from a biological perspective (Goldstein & Naglieri, 2011).

      • Analyzes how piaget's cognitive theory applies to julie, who goes through three phases: sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operations, and formal operational.
      • Explains that julia fully experiences the first stage because she has learned that object and separate and distinct and attached the names and words to different objects. julie has developed her language skills to understand how to solve problems and learn from their peers.
      • Analyzes how concepts of self-efficacy can help with the understanding of the child and the self efficiency level that she fall under. efficacy relates to how people feel, think, and motivate achievement and behavior
      • Analyzes how julie's behavior is related to the milestones of middle childhood. julie is a twelve-year-old vietnamese girl who lives in an urban neighborhood in southern california.
      • Explains that kohlberg's theory of moral development applies to julia’s behaviors. he identified that moral reasoning comes in more stages and does not develop fully until after ages ten to eleven.
      • Explains that the post-conventional stage is when children and adults choose their moral standards to guide their lives. the contractual legalistic orientation phase occurs when people understand the difference between legality and morality in human rights.
      • Explains that peer relationships differ from gender-specific behavioral styles and social-cognitive styles. girls interact in dyads more often than boys, while girls spend more time in social conversations.

      Piaget 's cognitive development stage theory According to Piaget’s cognitive development stage theory, people attain different levels of cognitive functioning at different stages of their lives. During adolescence, people develop the ability to think beyond what is real in the present and think to the possibilities of the future (Ashford & LeCroy, 2013 p. 429). They can reflect on abstract concepts. Piaget’s referred to this thought process as formal operational thought. Adolescents develop the

    • Jean Piaget's Sensorimotor Stage Of Cognitive Development: Case Study
      analytical essay
      According to Sigelman & Rider (2012), Justin at the age of 2 was still in Jean Piaget’s sensorimotor stage of cognitive development and had been diagnosed with "static encephalopathy," acute brain damage of an unidentified source. He was very developmentally behind and incapable of walking or speaking just a few words by the time the bulk of kids were proactively searching out toddlers who have started to communicate in sentences. Also, children such as Justin who have been deprived of obtaining

      In this essay, the author

      • Explains that justin, at the age of 2, was diagnosed with "static encephalopathy," acute brain damage of an unidentified source. he was developmentally behind and incapable of walking or speaking.
      • Analyzes how justin falls into jean piaget's preoperational stage of cognitive development, though he is developmentally delayed. this can be seen in his rebellion, objection and resistance towards the staff of the facility.
      • Describes how justin began developing abilities and proficiencies within what vygotsky called the zone of proximal development.
      • Analyzes how bronfenbrenner's bioecological model exposed justin to the only microsystem he was exposed to until his pediatric intensive care unit (picu).
      • Describes how justin experienced a mesosystem, which was comprised of the interrelationships between the new and stressful environment at the picu and his prior environment.
      • Analyzes how justin's macrosystem impacted his perceptions, perception, interacted with, and functioned in his new environment.
      • Analyzes how justin's chronosystem, his relationship amongst people, and his surroundings and atmosphere changed over time as he was moved out of his past dwelling and persons involved and moved to a picu with new people.
      • Explains that the influence of genes is contingent on the type of environment we experience. gene and environment association is the means by which an individual's genes and their environment are methodically interconnected.
      • Explains that behavioral geneticists are finding that measures of environment are both genetic and inherited. heritability can be defined as the statistical expression that specifies which fraction of the difference within a particular trait is hereditary.
      • Explains that epigenetics is the procedure through which nature and nurture work together to yield certain developmental results.
      • Explains that genes influence each facet of behavior, the majority of environmental impacts on kids brought up within the same home are not mutual, and genes provoke reactions that form growth and maturity.
      • Analyzes how the high-risk environment that justin was raised in with his grandmother and uncle impacted the way they handled him.
      • Describes the lessons they learned from the reading, stating that they will apply what they have learned by having compassion on children and expressing understanding regardless of what the situation may appear.

    • Cognitive Development Study
      explanatory essay
      Introduction The purpose of this study is to analyse, in a practical way, the theories and concepts of cognitive development, across different age-related stages. Using Piaget’s theory of development, the cognitive ability of two subjects, aged 4 and 18 years, are examined against the milestones of the respective preoperational and formal operational development stages. Cognitive ability is determined by focusing on the subject’s capability and rationale to group 20 different objects. Based on the

      In this essay, the author

      • Explains that the purpose of this study is to analyse, in a practical way, the theories and concepts of cognitive development, across different age-related stages.
      • Explains that jean piaget developed his theory of cognitive development based on the sequence of changes that occur to the cognition of a person as they mature.
      • Explains that piaget determined that learning occurred across four distinct, sequential age-related stages: a sensory motor period (0–2), pre-operational stage (2–7 years), concrete operational stage (7–11 years) and formal stage (11years–adulthood).
      • Explains that the case study focuses on only two of the four stages relative to the age of subjects. pre-operational stage (2 – 7 yrs) demonstrates intelligence through symbols, language use matures, and memory and imagination are developed.
      • Explains that as age increases, a person's thought processes change from concrete to abstract, the level of egocentrism and centration decreases, children develop more eye for detail, information processing capacities increase, and problem solving becomes more advanced.
      • Explains the purpose of a case study to gauge respondents' cognitive abilities through their personal perceptions of grouping objects and carefully planned, semi-structured discussions. two subjects were tested from two separate stages, based on piaget’s theory of cognitive development.
      • Explains that 20 different objects were placed on a table in-front of the subjects. they were asked, "can you put these different things groups of ones that are similar?"
      • Explains that johnny's first grouping activity took approximately 10 minutes and 7 separate groups of objects were created with the shell, puzzle piece, and book not categorised into any of his groups.
      • Explains that billy, a male 18-year-old, fell into the formal operational stage of piaget's theory of cognitive development.
      • Explains that the study demonstrated the differences in cognitive development between children of distinct age groups. pre-operational children focus on striking attributes, whereas older children use functional and underlying attributes.
      • Analyzes how johnny's responses show that he is at the typical pre-operational phase of cognitive development. he uses logic based reasoning to sort unlike objects into groups.
      • Explains that adolescents think in ways that are more advanced, efficient, and generally more complex. they can now understand how to group like objects, even if they are not identical.
      • Opines that the findings of this qualitative study can be seen to support piaget’s theory of cognitive development, but the limitations should be acknowledged regarding the accuracy and reliability of the data.
      • Explains that qualitative research can be criticised for being low in both reliability and validity due to the researches subjective interpretation of results.
      • Opines that case studies don't allow differentiation between cognitive stages or push subjects to a level that requires higher level of cognitive thought.
      • Explains that assessment of a child's cognitive abilities can provide direction for targeted learning programs at school and indicate learning difficulties, school readiness or intellectually gifted students. teachers need to be mindful of the fact that their students may be at varying cognitive levels.
      • Cites driscoll, m. p., hummel, j. and huitt, w. (2003). piaget's theory of cognitive development.

      analytical essay
      Mental development aims to identify and understand the mechanisms in which information processing, perceptual skills, learning and many other aspects of the brain is developed (Foster, 2010). Jean Piaget established his own cognitive developmental stage theory, strongly believing that thinking develops with age and childhood immensely impacts an individual’s developmental process (Muss, 1967). Piaget noticed that when it came to problem solving, children would reason quite similarly receiving identical

      In this essay, the author

      • Explains that jean piaget established his own cognitive developmental stage theory, strongly believing that thinking develops with age and childhood immensely impacts an individual’s developmental process.
      • States that piaget's theories consisted of two main developmental concepts with the first known as stage-dependent theory.
      • Explains that children strive to maintain a balance between assimilation and accommodation, known as an equilibration.
      • Analyzes how piaget's theories have been popular throughout developmental psychologists and scrutinised to the fact where many disagree, claiming it is ‘bias’ and ‘limited’.
      • Argues that piaget's research is biased in terms of cultural influence, due to his centred sample of swiss students. vygotsky relied heavily on the role of language and culture in a child’s cognitive development.
      • Explains that piaget's work was naturalistic observation or conducted through clinical interviews, thus, data became subjective. he underestimated the cognitive ability of a child due to factors such as their short attention span.
      • Explains that jean piaget's work allowed other psychologists to create their own theories based off his concepts.
      • Explains that piaget improved teaching methods for children globally, as multiple changes were undertaken in order to cater to these theories and methods. education systems are now focusing on the stages of development and helping children move from concrete operations to formal operations.
      • Explains that piaget's work was focused more on the sequence of the stages and if a child was competent in completing tasks before the principled age, the theory was void.
      • Analyzes how piaget's theories are influential, but he lacks logical reversibility, cultural considerations, and the tendency that some excel faster than others.
      • Opines that jean piaget has changed the entire outlook of cognitive development with his influence remaining strong in the psychological and educational fields.

      was Piaget who founded genetic epistemology, the study of the development of knowledge. Originally based on the observations he made of his own children, he concluded that younger children's intelligence is both qualitatively and quantitatively different to that of older children's. Piaget suspected that the way that we are able to form and deal with concepts changes as we move from childhood to adolescence.

      In this essay, the author

      • Explains that piaget believed that children in the sensorimotor stage experience the world through corporeal activity and immediate perceptions, without thought, as adults know it. bower's experiments showed that babies under five months don't understand that place and movement are linked.
      • Explains piaget's view that pre-operational children do not understand that any quantity (number, liquid quantity, length) remains the same despite change to its physical arrangement.

      Sensorimotor Cognition: the Stages of Development Between 0-24 Months The development of a child is quite fascinating when it is observed from the outside. However, when it comes to the cognitive development inside a child’s mind, the real fascination should be focused on this process. When examining the cognitive development of a child, it is important to explore what the sensorimotor stage is all about. To begin with, psychologist Jean Piaget noticed that cognitive development changed, or more so evolved

      In this essay, the author

      • Opines that when examining the cognitive development of a child it is important to explore what the sensorimotor stage is all about.
      • Explains that psychologist jean piaget noticed that cognitive development changed, or more so evolved, throughout the first two years of life. he classifies the sensorimotor stage into six different substages.
      • Explains that reflex stage occurs between 0 to 1 month after birth. it is at this stage that the basic or fundamental reflexes are present in a child.
      • Explains that a child's reflexes are modified within 1 to 4 months, indicating differentiation in context to suckng and grasping.
      • Explains that a child at this stage has the ability to achieve goals from the use of combined behaviors developed so far with the first year of life. this is correlated to the next substage of the sensorimotor process; experimentation.
      • Explains that experimentation is developed between 12 and 18 months and is the invention of new means to solve problems. piaget's sensorimotor stage in cognitive development is represented.
      • Explains that representation is a time period from 18 to 24 months, when children transition from sensorimotor intelligence to representational intelligence. children are not learning by themselves, and parents influence their development.

Piaget was known to have described his mother as being inclined to regular neurotic outbursts. Eric

      In this essay, the author

      • Explains that in the first stage, sensorimotor, the child starts to build an understanding of its world by synchronising sensory encounters with physical actions. they become capable of symbolic thought and achieve object permanence.
      • Explains that in the second stage, preoperational, the child begins to exemplify the world with words and images that show increased representative thinking.
      • Explains that in stage three, concrete operational, the child rationalises logically about concrete, real experiences. they can mentally reverse actions and focus simultaneously on different features of a problem.
      • Explains that trust is developed when the child feels safe and mistrust occurs when safety is minimal and fear develops. basic needs are met and attachments are key in this stage.
      • Explains that in stage two, autonomy versus shame and doubt, the child starts to develop a sense of independence and feel confident, but failure can lead to insecurity and self-doubt.
      • Explains that in stage three, initiative versus guilt, the child learns a sense of responsibility through purposeful behaviour and can act in socially responsible ways.
      • Explains that in stage four, industry versus inferiority, the child learns to hone their skills in competition with their peers and this starts preparing them for adult roles.
      • Explains that stage five, identity versus confusion, coincides with adolescence when the young adult explores their role within society and begins to determine their own identity.
      • Explains that in stage six, intimacy versus isolation, early adulthood brings the task of forming intimate relationships with others.
      • Explains that in stage seven, generativity versus stagnation, the adult learns to lead a productive life, but failure to do so can lead to feelings of inability to progress.
      • Compares jean piaget's cognitive development theory and erik erikson’s psychosocial development theories based on their fundamentally different starting points.
      • Explains that piaget believed that children develop schemas, or plans, to represent the world. erik erikson's theory proposed that there were eight stages of psychosocial development.
      • Explains that stage eight, integrity versus despair, deals with late adulthood and the ability of people to evaluate their lives by looking back on their life's accomplishments or perhaps by feeling the disappointment of missed opportunities.
      • Argues that both piaget's and erikson’s theories have distinct developmental stages related to age, with the idea that personality development takes place across the life span
      • Explains that children have an inbuilt tendency towards adjustment, autonomy, independence, and self-actualisation. erikson (2000) defined play as a function of the ego, an attempt to synchronize the bodily and social processes with the self.
