Cognitive Processes
• Schemes: Actions or mental representations
that organize knowledge
– Behavioral scheme
– Mental scheme
• Assimilation: Using existing schemes to deal
with new information or experiences
• Accommodation: Adjusting schemes to fit
new information and experiences

Cognitive Processes
• Organization: Grouping of isolated behaviors
and thoughts into a higher-order system
• Equilibration and stages of development
– Equilibration: Mechanism by which children shift
from one stage of thought to the next
– Individuals go through four stages of development
• Cognition is qualitatively different from one stage to
another

The Sensorimotor Stage
• Lasts from birth to about 2 years of age
– Construct an understanding of the world by
coordinating sensory experiences
– Substages
•
•
•
•
•
•
Simple reflexes
First habits and primary circular reactions
Secondary circular reactions
Coordination of secondary circular reactions
Tertiary circular reactions, novelty, and curiosity
Internalization of schemes

The Sensorimotor Stage
– Object permanence: Understanding that objects
and events continue to exist:
• When they cannot directly be seen, heard, or touched

Conditioning
• Habituation - Decreased responsiveness to a
stimulus after repeated presentations of the
stimulus
• Dishabituation - Increase in responsiveness
after a change in stimulation
• Joint attention: Requires
– Ability to track another’s behavior
– One person’s directing another’s attention
– Reciprocal interaction

Memory
• Retention of information over time
– Implicit memory: Without conscious recollection
• Memories of skills and routine procedures that are
performed automatically
– Explicit memory: Conscious remembering of facts
and experiences
– Childhood amnesia

domains in the Gesell assessment of infants

Measures of Infant Development
• Bayley Scales of Infant Development: Used to
assess infant behavior and predict later
development
– Current version has three components:
• Mental scale
• Motor scale
• Infant behavior profile
• Fagan Test of Infant Intelligence evaluates an
infant’s ability to process information

Predicting Intelligence
• Tests for infants contain items related to
perceptual-motor development
– Include measures of social interaction

Defining Language
• Language: Form of communication
– Spoken, written, or signed
– Based on a system of symbols
– Consists of the words used by a community and
the rules for varying and combining them
• Infinite generativity: Ability to produce an
endless number of meaningful sentences
using:
– Finite set of words and rules

How Language Develops
• Recognizing language sounds
• Babbling and other vocalizations
– Crying
– Cooing
– Babbling
• Gestures
– Showing and pointing

How Language Develops
• First words
– Receptive vocabulary considerably exceeds
spoken vocabulary
– Vocabulary spurt
– Overextension - Tendency to apply a word to
objects that are inappropriate for the word’s
meaning
– Underextension - Tendency to apply a word too
narrowly

How Language Develops
• Two-word utterances
– To convey meaning child relies on:
• Gesture, tone, and context
– Telegraphic speech: Use of short and precise
words without grammatical markers:
• Articles, auxiliary verbs, and other connectives

Biological Influences
• Regions involved in language
– Broca’s area: In the brain’s left frontal lobe that is
involved in speech production
– Wernicke’s area: In the brain’s left hemisphere
that is involved in language comprehension

Biological Influences
• Language acquisition device (LAD): Chomsky’s
term that describes a biological endowment
enabling the child to:
– Detect the features and rules of language,
including phonology, syntax, and semantics

Environmental Influences
• Behaviorist view of language learning has
several problems
• Interaction view - Children learn language in
specific contexts
• Vocabulary development is linked to:
– Family’s socioeconomic status
– Type of talk that parents direct to their children
• Child-directed speech: Higher pitch than
normal, with simple words and sentences

Environmental Influences
• Three strategies to enhance child’s acquisition
of language:
– Recasting
– Expanding
– Labeling
