M&Ms - Aidan believes that the more spaced out heart candies are a larger amount than his own tightly spaced row of heart candies. However, both rows each had seven hearts, meaning that they were equal even though one row was spread out more. When asked to fix the row so it is “equal”, the child proceeded to put the hearts back into how they initially were and thought that they were equal again since they were spaced the exact same, when they were actually equal the whole time. The child showed…

Among the theories of human development, the one I most agree with is Kohlberg’s six stages of moral reasoning. Kohlberg’s theory outlines the stages of moral reasoning in a simplistic manner that one can follow and understand the process of each stage of the infant to adulthood life cycle. The first level 1, age 4 to 10 years includes stage 1 – 'Punishment and Obedience Orientation'. The child obeys rules given by others to avoid punishment. As such, the child does not fully understand…

In the 1920's Jean Piaget realized that children have a different way of thinking than adults do. After realizing this he decided to invest his time into trying to figure out why. He eventually came up with the 4 stages of child development that every single child goes through. The stages go from when an infant is born until it is around 11 years old. Every child is in the sensorimotor stage until they get to be around 2 years old. During this stage infants become area of their senses like touch…

Fine-motor skills such as tying shoes or fastening buttons, which requires the coordination of small movements, also improve greatly during the preschool years.

There are a few kids that have a harder time writing so they have pencils with special things on the bottom to help them write. Puberty is the beginning of sexual maturity. Girls on average start their period around the ages of 12 and 13. This is important to know…

The 18th century Enlightenment can be defined as the beginning of modern sciences where reason started to trump faith, the previously solid theories and sciences of the past were proven wrong and replaced with new information. This lead to the western part of Europe thinking more towards the future as opposed to the traditional way of thinking: looking into the past for answers in the present. People began to look to the present for answers in the future. Although these mindsets and ideas were…

believe Sarah Lawrence is for the creative nomads that chase the ever-fleeting storm of being an artist- a storm that demands the articulation of feelings and concepts that will forever challenge and cause us to grow and define what it means to be human. William Lawrence’s emphasis on the arts as a crucial element to the evolution of society resonates so profoundly within me; I wish to take part in a school that seeks to use art as a tool to impact others and I.

Merriam-Webster dictionary defines heritage as “the traditions, achievements, beliefs, etc., that are part of the history of a group or nation (Merriam-Webster).” Our heritage can affect who we are and how we define ourselves. Sometimes our heritage can be redefined with new generations. Each person can perceive their heritage differently. Some people are proud of their heritage while others want to leave it in the past and start over. What’s good for one person may not be good for another…
