Cognition Development
  1. What is cognition?
    1. Mental processes that allow humans to understand their environment
      1. processes include: attention, thinking, concept formation, reasoning and problem solving
    2. Piagetian theory:
      1. children think differently to adults
        1. children think differently at different stages
          1. 4 stages
            1. Criticisms of work:
              1. competence vs performance
                1. over simplification of stages
                  1. overly complex tasks
                    1. overlooking social and cultural factors
                  2. Piaget's theory of cognition development:
                    1. discontinuous
                      1. Domain general theory: all aspects of children's cognition are assumed to develop across stages in an integrated fashion
                        1. affecting all aspects of thinking and reasoning
                        2. Constructivist approach: emphasises the child's acquisition of knowledge through learning and experience
                          1. children are like scientists = interacting and researching their world
                        3. Schema: idea = patterns of behaviour
                          1. even infants have certain skills in regard to objects in their environment
                            1. adaptation
                              1. assimilation: incorporate new into old schema
                                1. accommodation: make new schema to deal with new experiences
