a. Turn taking: one person speaking, and another responding: singing the little monkeys jumping on the bed song and the instructor letting the children say how many monkeys, what happened one one fell off, and what the doctor said when the mother monkey called him. (Baltimore, D., HD FS 102 lecture, year, semester)
b. Infant directed speech: change in intonation, pitch, and complexity of words almost as if in a ‘cooing’ manner. Simple words such as chewie, gentle, ouchy, water not, are good examples. Simple words are not baby talk. (Baltimore, D., HD FS 102 lecture, year, semester)

Vygotsky theorizes that social interaction and cognitive development go hand in hand. Right after their naps they were able to sit in a group with one of the teachers and play with “squibs” which look kind of like a jack piece but bigger with suction cups on each end. This enhances cognitive development by describing what they are doing with the object (sticking it to the side of the bucket, or to the teachers arm) and further improving fine motor skills of the hand and fingers. (Steinberg, Bornstein, Vandell, & Rook, …show more content…
Adams social abilities are a little behind that of others around him just because he is a little younger than them. He is 4 years and 1 month old. He interacts mostly with himself and it seems as though others such as Aneel aren’t very fond of him. Adam played mostly symbolically at the wooden kitchen, pretending he was cleaning up the snack and doing the dishes. His social skills were a little isolated for what I think he should be at, but it also might just be because of the day. He only listens and obeys occasionally, and doesn’t seem to understand dangers such as running with a toothbrush in his mouth or why it is unsanitary to spit on the Legos. (Oesterrich,

    By looking at how children interact or higher level thinking he looked at how a childs cognitive development can be enriched with adult intervention. This influenced current practice as we spend time observing children and ensuring that we enrich learning by asking questions that extend thinking and enrich their learning experiences. Vygotsky showed that adults can draw attention to concepts which help the child to develop further but also recognised the importance of the quality of the interaction. We pay close attention to what we say to children and how we come across looking at our tone of voice, body language as well as giving enough time for the child to process information and respond. Vygotsky influences current practice as we also…

    Capone's Summary

    Capone conducted a study with sixteen children between the ages of thirty-two to sixty-three months old. The main objective was to understand how children semantically learn words they are unfamiliar with. There were objects and gestures the children knew, along with objects and gestures the children were unfamiliar with. The goal was to see how children best learn unfamiliar words. The study showed that “shape” (gestural) cues helped the child more than just teaching the names of the objects.…

    In fact, he seems to be developmentally on track and maybe even ahead for his age. According to Davies, at his age he should be able to: turn his head, hold his head erect with some bobbling, bring his hands together, reach, babble, and grasp objects (2011). In addition to these skills, he is able to sit on the couch independently holding his head up, play with his fingers (not his toes because he’s too chubby), roll over and begin to get into crawling position, put objects in his mouth, and is beginning to transfer objects from one hand to another. As a result of his environment and motor development, his temperament can be classified as “easy”, for he portrays confidence, stability, and happiness. His temperament was determined by the attachment style his parents have promoted for him, as he displays the characteristics of a securely attached…

    One example was the teacher saying, “Let’s sit down and be quiet so we can listen to the story.” I decided that it was infant-directed speech because their voices were slower and higher pitched than normal and were also more emotionally charged. They are using this type of speech because is makes things easier to understand, it signals to children that they are being spoken to, and children actually prefer listening to it. Some things to look for when identifying infant-directed speech are exaggerated tones, repeated words, and simple grammar (Steinberg, Bornstein, Vandell, Rook, 2011, pg. 116). Another interaction was the teacher demonstrating to the child how to put together…

    Vygotsky believed that social interactions are vital in order for children to learn new information. Vygotsky went ahead and created a concept called scaffolding; this is whereby teachers assist learners by encouraging them with questions and ideas that are within the learners ' zone of proximal development. He (Vygotsky) deeply stressed on the impact of environment on a child 's cognitive development. That development precedes learning. To Vygotsky, language depends upon thought processes.…

    I find that amazing. I love children and I can be surrounded by them my whole life and taking care of those kids is one of the best experiences I have ever had. People say that autistic kids have a lack of social play but my boy loves playing with other kids, even if he actually does not play with them, he likes to be surrounded by other kids. I guess that is how he feels included. He does not usually look people in the eyes, but when he wants to play with other kid he would go up to him,…

They co-construct their learning through this interaction. I will facilitate children’s learning by engaging them in group activities and experiences. Also, I will scaffold their learning by facilitating their learning process with timely help and guidance.…

    Sociocultural theory has made a great impact on the learning and teaching process. Vygotsky’s theory advocates that learning is a process where participation in socially mediated activities is essential. This theory argues that social interaction precedes development, consciousness and cognition are the end product of socialization and social behavior. Vygotsky’s theory is one of the foundations of constructivism. (Vygotsky, 1978)…
