Piaget’s Theory
- Paget’s 4 Stages of Cog. Develop.
- 1) Sensorimotor
- 2) Preoperational (2-7)
- 3) Concrete Operational (7-11)
- Conservation
- 4) Formal Operational (Starts at 11, ends 15-20)
- Hypothetical-deductive reasoning
*
Piaget’s Theory

- Abstract Thinking
- EX: A = B; B = C ; A ? C

Piaget’s 4 Stages of Cog. Dev.
*
Information-Processing
*
Information-Processing
- Selective attention
- Divided attention
*
Memory
- Memory: ability to store & retrieve info over time.
- Functions of Memory:
- Storage
- Encoding
- Retrieval
*
Storage
- Sensory
- Iconic Memory
- Echoic Memory
- Short-Term
- 7±2
- Rehearsal
*

Applied Principles of LTM:
- Object type = memory strength (concrete > abstract)
- Recognition is easier than recall
- We remember only what we need to function
- We remember things best when in context of where we first learned the info.
Long-Term Memory
*
Practical Cognition
- Critical thinking
- Decision making process
- Dual processing
- Analytic
- Heuristic
*
Social Cognition
- Perspective taking
- Social & conventional system perspective taking
- Theory of mind
- Imaginary audience
*
Psychometric Approach
- Stanford-Binet Intelligent Test
- Fluid intelligence
- Crystallized intelligence
- Genetic/ Heritability
Twin Studies
Heritability Coefficient
Shared vs. Non-shared Environment
*
Psychometric Approach
- Theory of multiple intelligence
*
Brain Development
- Overproduction/Exuberance
- Synaptic Pruning
*
