Each of this cognitive development stage has its own thinking pattern, which is different…

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…

Geldard, Geldard & Foo (2013, p. 210) discovered that children who are not able to talk about their wishes and needs in connection with past, present and future situations may be able to do so by drawing. As the young boy has had a rough past I thought that may be the reason behind him being withdrawn therefore I thought drawing would be perfect to express himself although when I suggested the idea he did not want to participate. This child centred approach would have been more effective if the…

The Connectionism Theory of Learning was introduced by a prominent psychologist, Edward Thorndike. His theory was based on creating stimuli that would generate responses, and called these bonds the stimuli-response connections. Thorndike wanted to apply his laws to mathematics and other fields for humans, but he began with his puzzle-box studies. Around 1900, he conducted a series of experiments where he placed a hungry cat in puzzle box with food outside the cage. The cage could be opened by a…

Both Sara Novic’s Girl at War (2015) and Philip Roth’s Plot Against America (2004) are told from the perspective of a child.

Although, the mature audience of these novels understands the shortcomings of childish understanding, the authors use these perspectives to speak to our…
