Freud - ontogeny of personalityPiaget - ontogeny of intelligence • Development of intelligence (vs. measurment) • Schema: unit of organization of knowledge • Schemata are undergoing constant revision
THEORETICAL CONSTRUCTSSchema: Structure that adapts • Organization of knowledge changes with experiences. • Relationships between schema change. • The basic unit of knowledge.
THEORETICAL CONSTRUCTS (con’t.)Schemata change continuously by: • Adaptation:modification of schemas by experience • Assimilation:quantitative enrichment (generalization), e.g. calling a goat a “doggie.” • Accommodation:qualitative enrichment (discrimination), e.g. calling a goat a “goat.” • Equilibrium:process whereby schemata minimize conflict between assimilation (responding to new stimulus in old way) and accommodation (changing response in accordance with demands of new input).
SCHEMA OF SUCKING REFLEXAt birth: • turning of the head when cheek is stimulated • opening mouth when lips are stimulated • sucking when inside of mouth is stimulated • swallowing when liquid reaches throat
SCHEMA OF SUCKING REFLEX (con’t.)After a few weeks: • Searching for the breast when child is against mother's body • Sucking movements in anticipation of feeding • Non-nutritive thumb sucking • Sucking on spoons and blocks
DEVELOPMENT OF IMITATIVE SCHEMATA • Pseudo-imitation: Parent imitates child who continues activity in question • Partial imitation: Parent opens and closes eyes. Child only opens eyes. • Full imitation: Child attempts to perform all features of activities modeled by adult, e.g., dancing, athletics.
STAGES OF COGNITIVE GROWTHShift from here and now to abstract reflection about the world. • Sensory-Motor Period: (0-2 years) • Integration of sensory information, separate motor movements • Preoperational Period: (2-7 years) • Development of representational strategies • Concrete Operational Period: (7-11 years) • Emergence of specific problem solving skills • Formal Operational Period: ( 11 years and onward) • Emergence of general problem solving skills
SENSORY-MOTOR PERIODWilliam James: "bloomin, buzzin, confusion" • Unintegrated sensations and movements • No object constancy • no distinction between stable and changing objects. • no object permanence. Has to learn to search for a previously present object. • No (or poor) differentiation of self from others.
Cognitive development at end of Sensory-Motor period: • Object permanence • Complex instrumental behavior • Simple imitation • Ability to generate images • Beginnings of language • Representational Ability: Child could previously interact with environment only through direct sensory contact; now she can carry aspects of world in her head.
Pre-operational Period(con’t.) • Ego-centric thought • Can only take one point of view • Cannot represent a series of actions, e.g. draw a map of route to store • No conservation (length, liquid volume, solid volume) • Can’t say “clay is thinner but wider” • Animistic view of world • Cloud, streams, bicycles are alive • Walls, trees, tables are not • Name of a thing an intrinsic property (cf. Romeo: “a rose by any other name would smell as sweet”)
Pre-operational Period • Pre-operational intelligence is intuitive in the sense that child cannot make logical statements • Begins to look at world symbolically, e.g., a cardboard box, can function as a “house;” dolls, as a “family.” • No operations - Child responds solely on basis of perceptions and representations (as highly organized as they might be) • Child can only respond to one dimension at a time (that which it perceives) • No concept of class - e.g. individual dog vs. all dogs • Magical demonstrations convincing - child a prisoner of its immediate perceptual experience. • Moral judgements cannot allow for intent
CONCRETE OPERATIONAL PERIOD • Child cannot grasp logical operations. • Child understands concrete (but not abstract) rules that apply to specific situations. • Concrete child can: • adopt perspective of viewer • alternate thoughts about two or more dimensions of an object • understand conservation of length, volume, etc. • sort by category (concretely, not abstractly)
Formal operations • Child generates hypotheses • Can think about thinking • Concerned with beliefs - values • Can argue "if A is true, then B must follow." • Can argue “other things being equal”
EGOCENTRIC THOUGHT What does the doll see?
CONSERVATION OF AMOUNT • Which container has more marbles? • Which blob has more clay? Which row has more pennies? Are both sticks the same length? Do both blobs have the same amount of clay?
CONCEPTUAL ABILITY • Put together those items that are alike.
