Document Summary
Follow seminar schedule from syllabus ( tutorial means the seminar is optional) Children"s thinking differs from that of adults introspection is not very good; how you remember thinking as a child is not quite accurate to how you actually thought. Our best tool for survival (us, being humans) Each species has its own ideal tool for survival. We live in a society (our strength comes in the ability to work with others) Society is unique to us; there are other social animals but not quite as social as we are (we invented the internet!) We build great things, venture off the planet. Cognition processes by which knowledge is acquired or manipulated cannot be measured directly, only inferred thinking is a skill; it develops, it changes and it"s something you have to practice. **early thinking is qualitatively different than adult-like thinking** example: object permanence baby rattle video.
