So far, you have studied 3 of the 4 stages of “cognitive” development from Piaget’s famous research on how children learn (cognitive changes). Each time we came to a chapter regarding COGNITIVE LEARNING, we discussed how children are scaffolding on their ability to learn.  (Chpt 9) You built a T-chart listing characteristics of cognitive learning in sensorimotor, pre-operations, and lately  (Chpt 12) – concrete operations.  Below, list as many as you can remember for each stage/age.  [Formal Operational Stage is coming up in chpt 15] •••Add to your list by briefly explaining each one.  In other words, don’t just list a characteristic….explain it in your own words.••• Make sure your list is easy for me to determine what you’re listing for each stage. Your points will be based upon how many you list and the accuracy of each description (3 for each stage is required. Your homework on eCampus required 5 for each.)  20 pts for this question. Be through with your lists/explanations. 

A 9-year-old child who can use logical but not abstract thinking is in the ___?___ stage, according to Piaget’s theory.

A child in Concrete Operations will be able to arrange sticks in order, shortest to the longest, and insert an intermediate-size stick into the proper place. 

A type of logic called____?_____reasoning begins with observations about individual members of a class and then uses those to reach a general conclusion about the entire class.

The stages of emergent writing usually follow a common order of development.  Identify the order below which describes it best:

What is an example of seriation?

I’ve asked this before…so it should be an easy 3 pts! Your Child Study Case project (ppt) is 20% of your semester grade.  When is the ppt due?  List the 3 developmental domains you are to research for the age child you have chosen.  

The remove method removes all occurrences of an item from a list.

To calculate the average of the numeric values in a list, the first step is to get the total of values in the list.

What values will list2 contain after the following code executes?      list1 = [1, 2, 3]      list2 = [item + 1 for item in list1]
