Document Object Model

As a parent, I have watched my daughter grow and develop. She talked from an early age, and her language development soared with our interaction. She loves to draw and uses symbols to identify objects such as pets, family, or food. My daughter loves to play and pretends various scenarios with her toys. For example, we pretended that her princess characters were at an ice cream parlor and at fake ice cream. According to Woolfolk, this is known as…

a pretty face. In the more than 50 years the Pirelli has produced it’s calendar, each iteration has featured some of the world 's most beautiful , scarcely clad models posing in sometimes explicit ways. When Leibovitz was chosen to be the photographer for the 2016 issue, she had a different plan in mind. Instead of choosing twelve models and actresses, she called upon accomplished directors, athletes, artists, and comedians to be featured in the calendar. This concept of commending these women…

children, her family, and her work to make her more than memorable. One specific thing I noticed was the way she talked to her baby niece. This child looks up to the woman with so much respect when she talks to her. Nobody could forget their biggest role model in life. Other…

Cognitive development is the process of the mental activity within the human brain. This involves the method of thinking, memory and perception. Oakley (2004, p.2) states that ‘As a child develops, their thinking changes’. In this essay, I will compare and contrast two cognitive theories in child development and define how these theories might be applied by professionals working with children and families. Piaget and Vygotsky are both cognitive theorists. They established that cognitive…

While Piaget does acknowledge that children may reach a stage slower or faster depending on the specific environment they develop or how they interact with different environments, these are not elaborated on or accounted for in his model (Bukatko & Daehler, 2001). Subsequently individual differences due to the environment cannot be explained in his theory. A crucial study (Dunn, Brown, Slomkowski, Tesla & Youndblade, 1991) examined children at the age of 33 months and their relationship…

Children think differently than adults, and therefore develop their thoughts differently. According to the psychology book, cognitive development can be described as the study of how children acquire the ability to learn, think, reason, communicate, and remember. One can observe a great difference between a 3-year-old preschooler’s thinking pattern and a 9-year-old student’s thinking pattern. Each child has a different thinking ability which falls into a stage of Piaget’s theory of stages of…

This stage begins at birth and end around the age of two. One of the most important accomplishments of this stage is object permanence. This means that a child understands that objects do not just disappear if they cannot be seen or heard, and that they still continue to exist. This was very interesting because I always wondered if a child thought I was really gone while playing peekaboo. I know now…

Critically assess Piaget’s theoretical predictions about when children would and would not be able to have/do certain things (eg. Object Permanence, imitate facial expressions, take another’s perspective, pass a conservation task etc. Cognitive development describes the growth of cognitive abilities and capacities from birth to old age (Colman, 2009). Jean Piaget’s four stages cognitive-developmental theory (Piaget, 1962) is widely regarded as the most detailed explanation of child development…

Ideally, an educator seeks the best teaching method for his or her students; however, the debate remains, what theory is universal for teachers to use? The solution is not singular, for several theories offer exceptional suggestions on how to apply certain material that best suits the development of students. Such suggestions may come from the theories of Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky. Despite their differing views in cognitive development, both have contributed to the improvement of teaching…

development of object permanence. Additionally, I will describe my observations in detail and indicate whether they support Piaget’s theory. In the fourth substage, a baby’s behavioral process evolves, for instance inadvertent actions become premeditated, furthermore instilling goal-directed behavior. This type of behavior is exemplified by the infant when there is a need/want to attain a particular goal. An example of such is offered by Piaget’s game of rescuing hidden objects. According to…
