In the scientific journal article assessing talking toys and its effect on the development of children and their progress in language I disagree with scientific evidence presented within the article regarding the ideas that talking toys hamper the babies and their verbal skills. It say this, because in the first article the author proclaims that when the children encounter flashy, electronic toys the children spoke less and did not engage as much with their parents. Although the study confirms…

Some figures from the cognitive perspective include Albert Bandura, Jean Piaget, and Lawrence Kohlberg. Albert Bandura is most famous for his Bobo Doll experiment. Within the experiment, children from ages three to six watched an adult hit, kick, and throw a blown up doll. The researchers then tested to see if their behaviour became more aggressive. Jean Piaget invented the Cognitive Theory, which entailed the idea that human development/behavior is the product of certain consistent and reliable…

An effective Early Childhood Education Program is one that embraces the creativity of their students, while teaching them the values of the multicultural advantages of the world around them. Cultural Arts, Imagination, and Creativity are factors of an individualistic mind that allows us to communicate with each other without always using words. Schools from Preschool to College should provide the training needed for each of their students to move forward into their aspirations without…

John Locke is considered to be one of the most influential philosopher’s of modern times. His ideas were early precursors to many important psychological concepts. John Locke attempted to center philosophy on the analysis of the extent and capabilities of the human mind. Locke’s focus was that people acquire knowledge from the information of experiences and what our senses bring from them. People’s experiences begin with simple ideas and then combine them into more complex ones. One of John…

Our human lifespan is divided into many different stages. As one enters a new stage, his behavior will tend to change due to cognitive and motor development. In this study we will be focusing on the “magic years”(Shelov & Altmann, 2015), ages 3-4. Observation of the behavior of 4 year old Lizzie, and 3 year old Braxton has already taken place. Their behavior varies because Braxton is deaf and his language skills are used through signing rather than speech, but there is still much…

4. Describe the development of your child’s memory, information processing and reasoning skills. Explain how these changes might be affecting your interactions with your child. Our child’s memory most likely began even before her language abilities became noticeable which is consistent with research (p. 154-155). I recall a time when I hid a ball from her in plain sight, but she just did not know where it went. However, when I tried this same experiment on her at the age of 12 months, she knew…

This week we were task with reading an article detailing Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development. A quick summary of this theory is as follows, Piaget believed that children move through four stages of mental development. He focuses on not only the acquisition of knowledge, but the understanding of the nature of intelligence. Piaget’s four stages are: Sensorimotor stage with the assigned the range of birth to 2 years Preoperational stage with the assigned range of 2 to 7 Concrete operational…

Conclusion Psychologists formed several theories about childhood development. Each one took a different perspective on developmental stages and provided guidelines to assess a child’s developmental level compared to their age group. Bandura’s theory focused on observation and imitation of behaviors (Crain, 2011). Erikson’s theory expanded on Freud’s psychoanalytic theory and provided details of development that surpassed just satisfying physical desires (Crain, 2011). Piaget’s theory focused…

Jean Piaget has four stages to his theory of cognitive development. The first stage being the sensorimotor stage, which occurs from the time a child is born until they are about two years old. During this time of every humans live, they begin to learn that there are more things in their world that are not just in front of them at the moment. Infants use their senses to help them learn throughout this crucial stage in life. The sensorimotor stage is important and has impacted my life and…
