Sensorimotor Stage","description":"Book definition
\nSensorimotor Stage: Piaget's first stage, spanning the first two years of life, during which infants and toddlers "think" with their eyes, ears, hands and other sensorimotor equipment.
\nInfants cannot purposely explore the world, they kind of stumbled into it.
\nCircular Reaction: provides a special means of adapting their first schemes. The reaction is circular because as the infant tries to repeat the event again and again, a sensorimotor response that originally occurred by chance becomes strengthened into a new scheme.
\nAs children grow, they gain a purpose for performing tasks, because they have a goal and they want to achieve it.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"16819133","dateCreated":"1258070718","smartDate":"Nov 12, 2009","userCreated":{"username":"ltrecker","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/ltrecker","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/fall2009-hdfs221.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/16819133"},"dateDigested":1532288706,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Piagetian Important Terms or Vocabulary ","description":"Individual Differences: in mental development measures intellectual development to predict future performances such as IQ testing, standardized testing.
\nConcrete Operational Stage: is 7-11 years old where reasoning becomes logical and children understand that the amount of something remains the same even after appearance changes, organizes objects into classes and sub-classes but cannot think abstract yet.
\nDecentration: the ability to focus on several aspects of a problem at once and relate them, for example if you have the same amount of water in a glass then take another glass with the same amount of water and pour it into a bowl there is the same amount of water just differnet objects the water is in.
\nReversibility: the ability to go through a series of steps in a problem and then mentally reverse direction, returning to the starting point.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]}],"more":false},"comments":[]},"http":{"code":200,"status":"OK"},"redirectUrl":null,"javascript":null,"notices":{"warning":[],"error":[],"info":[],"success":[]}}
