Document Summary
Piaget, concrete operations: children develop logical but not abstract thinking, operations. A is larger than c: class inclusion. Show plastic beads- some red, some blue- 10 blue beads and 8 red beads- more blue beads. Will still answer- blue beads if preoperational (centration)- operational children will know the answer- can look at different categories: inductive reasoning. Logical reasoning that moves from particular observation about members of a class to a general conclusion about that class. > can lead to mistakes- have seen only 2 blue cars- think all cars are blue: deductive reasoning. Logical reasoning that moves from a general premise about a class to a conclusion about a particular member or members of the class. >all cars have steering wheels- can deduce that bob"s car has a steering wheel. > recent research shows that kids around age 7 can do inductive and deductive reasoning. > know they can"t be 100% right when using inductive reasoning.
