PS275 Lecture Notes - Metacognition, Information Processing Theory, Short-Term Memory
Document Summary
Focusing on 1 aspect of situation, is it tall or round, etc Stage 3: concrete operational stage ( 7-11 yrs) Conserve reversibility- quantitative attributes remain unchanged despite spatial/ form changes. Understand now mass, length, volume, distance (quantitative attributes) No longer show centration, take other factors into account. Class (understand subsets or larger classes/ groups of things) Seriation (recognize ordering of objects in terms of some changing dimension) Preoperational age- may not be able to sort it tallest to shortest. Concrete operational- may get it right by following the sticks to have it tallest to shortest. Ability to think about hypothetical abstract ideas. How we take in, work on, and remember information. Implications of piaget"s theory: focuses attention on, recognizes crucial role of self-initiated, active involvement in learning (learn by doing, recognizes individual differences in progress (same sequence, but different rates) Not on midterm (below) don"t need to read chapter 10 for final!
