After watching 3 year old Shana drop her raisins into a cup, 10 month old Nicholas copies her and drops his raisins into a cup. Nicholas is in what substage of sensorimotor period stages
4
accommodation
Altering of previous concepts in the face of new information
According to cognitive-developmental theory, a schema is
An organized way of making sense of experience
Assimilation
Application to previous concepts to new concepts
Baby Olivia dropped her rattle. Later, she let go of her teething ring and watched with interest. When Olivia dropped objects, she was ..... them to her sensorimotor dropping scheme
Assimilating
According to Piaget, adaptation involves?
Building schemes through direct interaction with environment
A ..... is a means of building schemes in which infants try to repeat chance motor behaviors again and again
Circular reaction
Ten month old Hannah is shown a stuffed sheep, and then it is hidden under a blanket. Which statement is true?
Hannah can find the sheep coordinating two schemes-" pushing aside the blanket and "grasping the toy"
Piaget based the substages of sensorimotor development on?
Observations of his own three children
Piaget's ....: stage is the most complex period of develooment
Sensorimotor
Two-year-old Laura dropped a block into her toy box. She then dropped a cup, a car, and a doll into the box, throwing some objects gently, while using more force with others. Laura's modification of her dropping scheme is an example of
accommodation
During times of rapid cognitive change, children
are in a state of disequilibrium
Awareness of object permanence is not yet complete in Piaget's Substage 4 because
babies still make the A-not-B search error
In Piaget's theory, each time the back- and forth movement between equilibrium and disequilibrium occurs,
more effective schemes are produced
Nine-month- old Avery can retrieve his ball when his mother hides it under a blanket. Avery has begun to master ...?
object permanence
The circular reaction initially centers on
the infant's own body.
