Cognetive development
  1. Jean Piaget
    1. sensorimotor stage:
      1. the stage of development that occurs from birth to 2 years, when infants gain knowledge about their environments through increasing ability to coordinate their sensory input with motoractivity
        1. Primary circular reactions- the 1st sub stage in the sensorimotor stage, where the infants repeat actions they find pleasurable
          1. Secondary circular reactions - the 2nd sub stage of the sensorimotor stage where infants become aware of their actions & realize that their actions produce interesting changes in the enviroment
            1. Coordinates secondary circular reactions - the 3rd sub stage of sensorimotor stage, were infants combine a n umber of schemas in order to produce desired effects
              1. Tertiary circular reactions - the 4th substage of the sensorimotor stage, where infants 12-18 months use trail & error experimentation to see what will happen
                1. Symbolic representation - the 5th sub stage of the sensorimotor stage, where infants 1-2 years plan actions based on imagined realities
                2. Reflex schemas - primitive reflexes babies are born with to ensure survival
                  1. Deferred imitation - when infants are able to imitate an action some time after it has been observed
                    1. Object permanence - the realization that an object or person continues to exist even when no longer visible
                      1. preoperational stage:
                        1. the stage of development between 2-7 years, where children use symbolic thought but not the cognitive operations necessary for logical though
                          1. transductive reasoning - preoperational reasoning in which children reason from one particular event to another
                            1. conservation - the principle that quantities remain the same despite changes in their appearance
                              1. centration - the tendency of children to focus only on one aspect of an object or situation
                                1. irreversibility - a child's inability to mentally reverse perceived actions
                                  1. egocentrism - the tendency of children to view everything from their own perspective
                                    1. animism - the thought process whereby human-like qualities are attributes to inanimate objects
