1. Schema: a concept of a framework to organize info
ex) Mind Maps
2. Assimilation: being able to put in new info into existing info (your schema).
3. Accommodation: to adjust new info in your schema.
Piaget also had the famous, Four Stages of Child Developement:
1. Sensorimotor:
- last from birth to about 2-years-old
- children coordinate sensory experiences with motor actions
- experience through their senses
- no real cognition
2. Preoperational:
- happens within the 2 to 7-years-old
- represents the word with words and images
- symbolic thinking
* language development and use
- ego-centrism
*All about the "I" and has no concept that not everything is theirs or about them.
- conservation is not there yet
3. Concrete Operational:
- 7 to 11-years-old
- Conservation: the idea that some characteristics or an object stays the same even though the physical appearance changes
- Conservation doesn't start until this stage
* concrete ---> physical world
* abstract
* mental operation that is reversal
ie:) Math
- performs operations
ie) (found on http://peoplelearn.homestead.com/MEdHOME/conservation-task-cups.jpg)
4. Formal Operational:
- 11 to 15-years-old and continues throughout life
- abstract thinking
* hypothetical deductive and reasoning
- the child can do things in their mind and figure out most of it
* highest form of cognitive
- beginning of reasoning:
*ie) ~Classification
~ Seriations (can put things into series)
~ Transitivity (can take what they know and can understand some conclusions) (from the text)
ie) A -------------
B -------------------- C > A, A < B
C ----------------------------
The child knows that which stick is bigger than the other, or which is smaller than another.
ie) A -------------
B -------------------- C > A, A < B
