Exam 5: Stages of cognitive development

According to Piaget preoperational thought is limited by:

A toddler recognises a beagle,labrador and dalmation all as dogs.This is an example of:

Object permanence tends to develop alongside which sensorimotor milestone?

A limitation of Piaget's theory is that much of the research evidence suggests that cognitive development is continuous.

According to Piaget,a child's first sensorimotor schemes arise out of innate reflexes such as sucking and grasping.

Adaptation of mental structures takes place through the mechanisms of ________ and ________.

In a typically developing child,what age will he reach Piaget's highest cognitive stage?

Contemporary research on preoperational thinking suggests that preschool and young school-aged children are considerably more competent than suggested by Piagetian theory.

Piaget viewed the development of imitation as a slow process that was completed by 12 months of age with the onset of deferred imitation.

Throughout Piaget's work on cognitive development,he often confused:

Piagetian theory is often referred to as a:

Research has demonstrated that explicitly instructing children about a novel situation may reduce their spontaneous exploration and discovery within that situation.

Describe three toys that would be developmentally appropriate for a child whose development is within the sensorimotor stage and how these toys may encourage their development.

The term used by Piaget to describe the creation and manipulation of representations of the outside world in order to solve practical problems is:

Children in the formal operational stage are still not quite able to experiment to test a hypothesis.

Which of the following is not true of the clinical method?

Choose two neo-Piagetian theorists.Describe their theories and how these theories are similar and different with Piaget's theory.

Which of the following is not a part of the formal operational stage according to Piaget's theory of cognitive development?

Discuss how contemporary research findings have established limitations in Piaget's original theory of sensorimotor and preoperational development.

Neo-Piagetian theories are quite similar to Piaget's views,but differ in the stage-like changes.
