Document Summary
Children"s private pee(cid:272)h: used for self-guidance, esp. when tasks are in zone of proximal development, gradually changes into whispers ad silent lip movements, used more by children with learning problems. Intersubjectivity: process by which two participants arrive at shared understanding of a task: join in with someone else, parent and child, scaffolding: adjusti(cid:374)g support offered duri(cid:374)g a tea(cid:272)hi(cid:374)g sessio(cid:374) to fit (cid:272)hild"s (cid:272)urre(cid:374)t level of performance, encourage growth. Information processing: planning: effective planning is mastered at around age 5, gains in inhibition and working memory. Recall: easier for young children and adults, nearly perfected by age 4 or 5, much poorer than recognition in young children, associated with language development, hindered by limited working memory, lack of skill at using memory strategies. Elaborative style: follo(cid:449)s (cid:272)hild"s lead, asks varied questions, adds information, volunteers own recollection. Repetitive style: provides little information, keeps repeating same questions.
