According to Piaget, what are the hallmarks of a preoperational child? -
✔✔Transductive thinking, category problems, egocentrism, and
conservation
Transductive thinking - ✔✔Illogical, transductive is making a rule from one
instance
ex. One dog bite me therefore all dogs will bite me
(inductive is taking many instances and making a rule out of it ex. the sun
came out the day before yesterday, yesterday, and today...tomorrow it will
come out)
Category problems - ✔✔Don't understand an item can be in two categories,
can't get around labels
ex. 3 tulips vs. 2 daises = tulips have more
3 tulips vs flowers = tulips have more
Egocentrism - ✔✔can't take viewpoint from another, kids assume we all
have the same view/brain
, All they remember is what they see which goes back to memory concepts
ex. mountain task
Conservation - ✔✔Amount is the same even when the form changes. They
can only focus on one dimension and can't reverse the concept. Seen with
numbers, mass, liquids, area
ex. Two glasses of water are the same size and filled with the same
amount of water, one glass is moved into a longer skinnier glass and then
the child will think that glass has more water.
Why did researchers such as Gelman and Chi argue that preoperational
children are far more logical than Piaget thought? - ✔✔Gelman and Chi
focused on preschool competency not the incompetency that Piaget
focused on. Children are universal novices.
Explain the counting principles - ✔✔Gelman found children know more
about counting than thought
-one-on-one: know only to count each item once
-stable order: the same set of numbers have an order 1,2,3,4,5
-cardinal: the last # is the set size
-order irrelevant: doesn't matter the order you count as long as they are all
counted
