Theoretical Framework Vygotsky’s theory is better know as the sociocultural theory. The sociocultural theory explains that both culture and social interactions influence the development of a child. Within Vygotsky’s theory there are three subsections: the zone of proximal development, private speech, and the use of scaffolding (Arnett 2016). Throughout my parenting of my child, Miles, I used scaffolding frequently. Arnett (2016) explains that scaffolding is used in order for a child to slowly…

The essay will be discussing the role of social factors in development through the explanation of number systems, the importance of psychological tools in the development of a child and the difference between school knowledge and everyday knowledge as well as how it links with the zone of proximal development. Social factors are factors that influence the development of the child through interaction with someone who is more knowledgeable than them. Social factors that play a role in the…

that communicate through even more synapses. At this point, children have more developed central nerve system (later CNS) than they need and synapses grow even more in the time to adolescence. The rate of synapse formation responsible for higher cognitive functions - one of them is intelligence reaches a peak at 3 years, but is still relatively high from the age of few months to the age of 13 as it is seen in the picture. Some of the connections become stronger because they are used more, and in…

As life goes on, we grow as well and there are phases of this development. In this procedure there are times of understanding and being able to see this world in other ways, with differences and similarities in every point of view. These stages can be essentially separated into two categories: the life of grown-ups, and the life of kids. The ways that life goes on in these two phases are definitely extraordinary yet specific viewpoints in how the mind is behaving and how it reasons circumstances…

Cognitive Development in Educational Psychology Individuals have the ability to think and consider their own reasoning and in this way it is the concentration of psychological improvement. (Flavell, Miller & Miller, 1993, p.3) Moreover, it researches on how individuals can get information and how this is impacted by the way of life they live in and the way of learning gained. (Jordan, E. & Porath, M., 2006) On the other hand, according to Piaget, intellectual improvement depends to some level of…

Kristene Marie M. Garcia September 5, 2017 4TE2 EEE Lawrence Kohlberg explain the moral development of children, which he believed follows a series of stages. According to the theory, moral reasoning develops in six stages, each more adequate at responding to moral dilemmas than the he work of Jean Piaget.

The basic notion of behaviorism involves two things, a stimulus by an external factor and a reaction as response “Every member of the social group must upon suitable occasion utter the proper speech-sound and, when he hears another utter these speech-sounds, must make the proper response” (Bloomfield, 1933: 29). Moreover, when children born, they get involved in a society who interacts…

Babies grow at a remarkably fast rate during their first two years of life, during the Infancy stage. In these first two years gross and fine motor skills develop rapidly. During the first month, most of a baby's behavior is reflexive. There are four major reflexes that babies begin to develop. The first are mouthing reflexes, the sucking and swallowing reflexes being the most important. A baby will automatically initiate sucking when their mouth region is touched. The rooting reflex is when a…

During my observation at Gorse Children's Center, there is a clear theme that I observe among children during their play time. The differences in temperament differentiate children and their playing strategies. In this report, I will discuss the two types of personality, High Activity, and Low Activity. I will compare how three children in the age of 4-5 I observed chose their group play, interact with toys and peers differently because of distinct temperaments. Low Activity personality can be…
