concrete understandings tends to be rationalized. We may use methods of rationalization to come up with a reason as to why we should do things that we know we shouldn’t do. A child who fails a term paper may rationalize that his teacher hates him. The problem with rationalization is that it tends to be exaggerated. However, these young people do not always do things for a reason. For example, a child might have a friend that keeps getting into trouble. He might feel bad for that other child and…
always been a favorite subject of mine and although I have never been the insightful mathematician, and I still struggle with abstract math problems, I always have a positive attitude toward the subject. Growing up in the elementary grades, I recall always getting good grades in math, but usually, those math problems only require the use of traditional problem solving methodologies. During that time, I loved solving math problems which involved only numbers, finishing a math problem before my…
pieces of paper which I taped to the wall next to my desk. As an object, it can be interpreted as an icon, in accordance with Peirce’s categories, which defines an icon as a sign that “resembles its conceptual object in certain ways”, duplicating this properties and principles (Huhtamo, “Basic Concepts” 258). It acts as an icon representing days of the month and time passing, both of which are concepts rather than physical objects. It shows how the days are organized and how I have planned my…

In the Preoperational Stage, children are showing and demonstrating how they understand information—whether through interactions with or through objects in any given environment. In addition, the Preoperational Stage includes Symbolic Function and Intuitive Thought. Also, it is during this stage that Piaget argues language…
By 7 months an infant is in secondary circular reaction which occurs between 4 to 8 months this is one of Piaget’s six sub stages of sensorimotor development (Santrock, 2009). Secondary circular reactions is when an “infant becomes more object- oriented, moving beyond self-preoccupation; repeat actions that bring interesting or pleasurable results (Santrock, 2009).” An example of this would be when an infant cries to be picked up, you are holding an infant and then place him down as you…
The nine year old will learn the concept of conservation and reversible thinking. The child will learn that objects can have all different features. They start to question ideas such as Santa Claus and realize that these fiction characters are not real. They begin to become more rational in this stage, but still struggle with concrete concepts. Children at this…
According to Jean Piaget, object performance begins develops gradually during the sensorimotor stage. It should be solified within the child during the sensorimotor stage the 6 stages. Piaget’s view states that the Object Performance specifically develops gradually between the third and sixth sub stage. The third sub stage categorizes the 4 to 8 months where infants become…
