Document Summary

50 multiple choice questions - equally split between text and lecture. Recall questions (make connection between text and lecture) Inference questions (something in lecture/reading and infer something new) Quote by william james: not quite related to piaget"s theory because he allows for baby"s to have some conceptual knowledge, learning theorists would be closest to this quote because they believe the baby has no knowledge. Or: they discriminate, but have no preference. Criterion is 50% of the average looking time. If average looking was 20s for trial, the criterion would be 10s: set xed number of trials, set criterion based on rst 3 trials, one possibility is that is doesn"t change, another possibility is they detect change (dishabituation) Walking then disappears: test 2: non-stepping infants, but you put them waist deep in water therefore their leg weight becomes less than leg strength.
