Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory

the approach that emphasizes how cognitive development proceeds as a result of social interactions between members of a culture

Canalized skill

Babbling is canalized because everyone does it and then it is refined into speech

(TQ) Private Speech (Vygotsky)

Children's self-talk, which guides their behavior; eventually internalized as silent inner speech.

(TQ) zone of proximal development

In Vygotsky's theory, the range between children's present level of knowledge and their potential knowledge state if they recieve proper guidance and instruction

(TQ) Scaffolding

Adjusting the support offered during a teaching session to fit the child's current level of performance
- anyone can help a child as long as they have a higher skill set

~TEST QUESTION~ Best ZPD developer are other kids

assisted discovery

set things up so a child can discover something on their own
- allows kids to learn on their own and improve cognitive function

Vygotsky and language

emphasized language as front and center of everything learned
- says little about biology
- vague on change

- sociocultural theory, language, ZPD, cognitive development

Piaget

Assimilation and accommodation, schema, active in development, active in environment

Information processing

encoding, storage, retrieval
- speed and capacity increases as children get older especially 6-12

Attention

planning, selecting, inhibiting (adapting)
- continuously increases in early childhood
selective - age 6-10 become better at attending to just goal relevant aspects
adaptable - shift attention
planning - scan systematically

DEVELOPING ATTENTION IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT SKILLS

Memory

attention does not necessarily put in memories

1. Rehearsal - repeating information to oneself
2. Organization - grouping related items together (chunking)
- short term memory holds 5-7 items
3. Elaboration - create a relation between information not in same category, establish linkages

(TQ) Child amnesia

before the age of 4, children can not remember anything

autobiographical memory

Long-lasting representations of one-time events
- parents help develop narrative elaborative style (tell them about a memory and they will piece it together)

inhibition

ability to control distracting stimuli
- individual differences as adults
- continuously developing
- strongly linked to attention

(TQ) Processing speed

Faster children can process information the less resources they need
- primary role through life span

cognitive self-regulation

being attentive to what you're doing
- monitoring progress towards a goal, checking outcomes, redirecting unsuccessful efforts

Short term memory

Working memory, working on information- short term for temporary use

Infant memory

Imitation - imitate something you have seen
Habituation - learning to not respond to a repeated stimulus
operant conditioning - reward/punishment system

Memory development

Capacity - process, attention, storage
Memory - organization, elaboration, rehearsal

Metamemory

knowledge about memory
- rewriting notes
- more you know about your memory the better it is

Metacognition

knowledge of cognitive ability
- "can you study with music on?"

Knowledge base

Knowledge of a content area to be learned
Affects learning and memory performance
More you know, the more you can know

(TQ)Perception vs. Sensation

We can give robots sensors to gather information of environment and have sensation. (eyes, ears, skin) (babies hearing best, sight worst)

Teaching them how to respond and comprehend that information is perception.

preferential technique

Method for studying visual attention (focus) in infants
- shows preferences for objects

Visual acuity & contrast sensitivity

sharpness of visual discrimination & difference in light/dark areas
- increase with age

visual scanning

babies start to look at what gives them the most information, eyes, nose, mouth

perceptual constancy

perceiving objects as unchanging even when it appears bigger or smaller (close/far away)

object segregation

identification of separate objects in a visual array (hair on a dog)

Depth perception

tested with visual cliff

perceptual narrowing

developmental changes in which experience fine-tunes the perceptual system

in attention it fine tunes sensory info you perceive

baby's taste

develop prenatally
can taste sweet and sour (toxic)

Infant Environment learning

learn through touch, oral exploration is dominant way of learning

motor movement

reflex is the first motor movement
1st to develop: Gross Motor - big appendage movement
2nd: Fine motor movement - fingers to grab
3rd: picking something up - both
4th: feeding self

Sensorimotor

coordination of sensory and motor functions together

(TQ) Development in Children

- All children develop at vastly different paces
- there are big windows for development (crawling, rolling, standing, walking)
- Windows are used to determine if there is a motor problem if a motor movement doesn't develop

(TQ) First Language

crying is the first language
- used to convey needs
- up to care giver to know why baby crying

maternal sensitivity

knowing your child's needs from their crying

behaviorists

learn to speak through environment

interactionists

inner capacity and environment work together to make speech
- now borns cry with melody shaped by native language

Social interaction

Helps language
- joint attention - gazing in same direction adult is looking while adult speaks
- give and take (pat-a-cake, peek-a-boo)
- preverbal gesture - pointing at something

Types of extensions

Under-extension - doggy = your dog only
overextension - all men papa
overregulation - "i thinked about"

(TQ) Schema

"Something that sticks to your brain and you cant forget about it" - Noah Allaire

socioeconomic status (SES)

Affects child development, low stimulation, less verbal stimulation, non-challenging environment

referential

child beings to refer to objects "cup"

expressive

child uses more pronouns to describe object "my cup"

Supporting Language Development

Joint Attention
- responding to coos and babbles (reinforcement)
- child directed speech
- social games
- read to them

(TQ) Proposed benefits of teaching sign language

- reduce frustration & stress
- allowed to communicate
- helps parent-child relationship

(TQ) Why would learning 2 languages help control thinking?

ability to switch between language increases cognitive function
- strengthens brain

(TQ) intelligence is what

a trait that helps us adap

psychometric approach

measure intelligence through psychological testing (IQ)

(TQ) Binet

created the first intelligence test
- devised to find kids who should go on for more schooling
- Intelligence Quotient

Intelligence Quotient

Based on test norms of people's ages
- score average of each age determines what is normal

Fluid Mechanics

Information processing, Brain function

crystalized Intelligence

knowledge, facts, procedures, learned information

(TQ) Distinct trajectory

Fluid mechanics are good until age of 25, then they start to decline

(TQ) Intelligence is

Multidimensional construct, some things improve some get worse

Howard Gardner

Theory of multiple intelligences
- look for how people perform in certain areas

(TQ) Sternberg's theory of successful intelligence

Analytic, Practical, Creative
- intelligence is ability to be successful
~does not assign value to one domain over another~

(TQ) Newborn test

Bayley Test - observational test to see ability to function in environment
- familiar and unfamiliar objects

Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC)

most widely used test for 6 year olds

(TQ) IQ is used for

Predicting school performance and job placement
- used to find kids that were not smart so they would not go to more schooling

Self-Discipline

inhibit actions, follow rules, avoid impulsive reactions

practical intelligence

accurately reading other people's emotions and intensions and motivating others to work effectively as a team

Garner's Multiple Intelligences

Visual-spacial, linguistic-verbal, interpersonal, intrapersonal, logical mathematical, musical, bodily kinesthetic, naturalistic

(TQ) If anything, IQ would be related to

School performance

(TQ) practical intelligence

most important

(TQ) what issue in psych produces most controversy in psychology

genetic influence

(TQ) Ways heredity impacts intelligence

Passive effects - genetic influence overlaps with being raised by biological parents (environment)

Evocative effects - child's genetic male-up influences other's behavior

Active effects - child's genetic make-up influences choice of environment

Variation within family

large variation between family members has greater impacts on child intelligence development. (differences within a family)
- if genetics had full control of intelligence everyone in family would have same IQ

(TQ) kids going to school

evidence that environment affects intelligence

(TQ) Flynn effec

Observed IQ over many years and found that the lowest IQ scores on average are increasing every year
- more kids going to school (direct suggestion environment affects intelligence)

(TQ) study done with Allaire and Professor

65 year old African Americans in Baltimore were assessed for IQ
segregated vs. desegregated were compared

segregated students did better because their environment was reinforced by their peers

desegregated students scored lower because their lasting impact on cognitive function from their negative environment

(TQ) Stereotype Threat

stereotype influences someone's ability to perform (assume you will not do well)
- "Girls cant do math"
- activated stereotype causes poor performance
- highly related to race
- early differences lead to stereotypes

Theories of Social Development

study of the psychological forces that underlie human behavior, feelings, and emotions and how they might relate to early experience

three-stratum theory of intelligence

three levels, general intelligence, intermediate abilities, specific abilities

(TQ) Sigmond Freud

actions motivated by unconscious
- only good for popularizing psychology

(TQ) Erikson

First LIFESPAN THEORIST
- development driven by conflict (development crisis)
- 8 stages
- stage theorist

Stage 1: Trust vs. Mistrust

• 0-1; most fundamental stage in life b/c an infant is utterly dependent, TRUST VS. MISTRUST; no one develops 100%
- mother baby healthy relationship leads to trust

Stage 2: Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt

Can child do something on their own (increase independence) or will they be discouraged and say they cant do it
- if you do everything for your kid they will never be able to do things on their own

Stage 3: Initiative vs. Guilt

Child can do things by themselves and will assert themselves more frequently or they will not believe in themselves

(TQ) Erikson's stages

stages based on nature but how it is navigated is dependent on caregiver

Social Learning

comes from environment
- does not have stages
- individual difference has differences in rewards/punishment

(TQ) Classical Conditioning

stimulus -> response
Pavlov's dogs, Watson

(TQ) Operant conditioning

Reinforcer(reward)/punishment
- Skinner
- all behavior depends on reward punishment
- two types, positive and negative

(TQ) Positive/negative Punishment/Rewards

positive punishment - gives something (give chores)
negative punishment - take something away

Positive Reward - Give something (candy)
Negative Punishment - take away something (chores away)

(TQ) Watson

Founder of behaviorism - classical conditioning
- behavior formed by our social environment
- pair something with something bad (baby cry) and you cant do the something

(TQ) Watson said (wrong)

kids are not active and cannot contribute to stimulus response

Intermittent reinforcement

inconsistent response to the behavior of another person, for example, sometimes punishing an unacceptable behavior and sometimes ignoring it or giving it attention

(TQ) Operant conditioning flaw

Can make kids do wrong behavior because of inappropriate use of rewards (given something to stop a bad behavior)

(TQ) extremely powerful when used appropraitely

rewards and punishments

(TQ) Albert Bandura

Social learning through observation
- focus on kids actively observing behaviors
- environment impacts kids, vice verse

Vicarious Reinforcement

Observe Behavior that receives a reward or punishment

(TQ) 1st grade

Farting becomes funny

(TQ) Bandura

reinforcement works but observation of behavior is more importance
- kids learn by watching parents and others
- (says no biological influence)

Social Theories of Learning
