Document Summary

Early childhood: birth to age eight (naeyc) Developmentally appropriate practice (dap): practice that is age and individually appropriate for each child in a program. Practices not appropriate for young children would include : timed test, focus on academic skill development through worksheets/workbooks, a tight schedule that ignores a young child"s need to move physically. Behaviour can be shaped by the response that follows any particular action. Stimulus-response theory: reinforcements, punishments, operant conditioning, extinguishing behaviours. Classical conditioning: learns to expect reward whenever stimulus is presented. Operant conditioning: behaviour precedes the reinforcement. Shaping behaviour components: targeting the desired behaviour, fixing a behavioural baseline, selecting reinforcers, analyzing the task and sequencing the segments, systematically applying the reinforcers. Experience plays less of a role in this point of view (vs. in the behaviourist. Believe that each child"s needs develop according to a pre-determined point of view) schedule.
