Exam 6: Cognitive development II

Children tend to understand the concept of false beliefs at approximately three years of age.

Many researchers have suggested that Vygotsky's emphasis on __________ has led to the development of __________ effective teaching methods.

Which approach suggests that development in certain domains is important for a child's survival?

If three-month-olds are given a 'reminder' about a conditioned response,they are likely to show evidence of recognition.This is called:

Which of the following statement is true?

Once adults learn complex strategies,they rarely use simple memory strategies.

Rather than relying on one memory strategy all the time,children often experiment with several different strategies.

There is yet to be a clearly defined definition of what constitutes a 'core' area of knowledge according to the core-knowledge approach.

Cultural differences are apparent in young children who employ attentional strategies.

Discuss the research literature on the influence of expertise and culture on memory in children.Can young children outperform older children on memory tasks when these factors are involved?

________ learning takes place without deliberate action.

Compare and contrast two of the three developmental approaches to cognitive development that were discussed in this chapter.

Which theory or approach attempts to explain the interaction between developments in different domains such as perception,motor activity,attention,language,memory and emotion?

A young child may fail to use a mnemonic strategy because she is unable to carry out the cognitive operations necessary to execute the strategy.This limitation is called:

Research supports mediational deficiency rather than production deficiency in explaining young children's strategy use.

Implicit memory tasks show the same developmental pattern as explicit memory.

Children from traditional hunter-gatherer societies often show a better understanding of animal and plant ecology than children of the same age in industrialised societies.

Which cognitive theory emphasises parallel processing?

Define implicit and explicit memory and describe how as a researcher you would measure both of them in 10-year-old children.

The amount of incidental information recalled decreases from around 11 years of age.
