bringing science of psychology to educational practical to provide teachers with knowledge to support their decisions

moody, anxious, storm & stress, awkward

Back (Physical/Sensory) to Front (Higher-Order Cognitive Functions; Including Thinking/Reasoning/Judgment)

area in the frontal lobe responsible for higher-level cognitive functioning, impulse control, decision making, planning, considering future, weighing consequences

In adolescents an imbalance between the limbic system which is our emotion regulation, reward system, and impulse control and pre-frontal cortex which controls decision-making and judgment. The limbic system matures earlier which makes adolescents more emotional & sensitive to rewards, but the pre-frontal cortex matures later so teens do not have the proper judgement and make risky decisions

each stage a a person faces a conflict and can either develop a quality/skill or not pass through the stage

0-1 years. Infants learn develop hope if their needs are consistently met which leads to trust, security, and confidence If the infants needs are not met consistently this leads to mistrust and insecurity

6-11 years. School-aged children develop competence. If they can apply themselves to tasks they feel capable to learn, create, and do things If not they feel incapable and incompetent

12-18 years. Adolescents develop a sense of self and fidelity to establish person beliefs and adopt adult roles If not they have confusion and a diffused sense of self

Promote identity development, give them hands on opportunities, help uncover talents,

the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses

Constructivism is Piaget's theory that children make sense or their experiences by constructing their own knowledge Social constructivism is passing on culture by learning and teaching

a stage theorist that believed nature and nurture yield cognitive development. 4 stages sensorimotor, preoperational, operational, concrete operational

cognitive frameworks or concepts that help us organize and interpret information allows us to represent mentally (or "think about") the objects and events in the world.

7-12 years old understands world through logical thinking and categories. understands conservation principles limitations - black and white thinking, abstract concepts are difficult

12+, understand world through hypothetical thinking and scientific reasoning , can think abstractly, can reason systematically about outcomes

thinking hypothetically, thinking self-reflectively, using abstract concepts, thinking in multiple dimensions, thinking about knowledge as relative

Lev Vygotsky was a Russian psychologist in the early 20th century, who was influenced by piagets work

Vygotsky saw cognitive development as a social process of learning from more experienced others

Brings us in contact with more knowledgeable folks and we can interact with them on more sophisticated level. Also we begin to think and organize mental life/activities through private speech (silent statements). Social speech is outward, private inward. It guides our behaviors and actions

The cognitive devices and procedures with which we communicate and explore the world around us. examples - Speech, writing, gestures, diagrams, numbers,

Difference between what a learner knows (can do) by self vs. what the learner can come to know (or do) with the help of a more knowledgeable other

Piaget's stages emphasize that learning should match a child's current developmental stage, Vygotsky's ZPD focuses on learning as a social process where learners are guided to achieve tasks they cannot yet do alone BOTH - Both theorists are associated with constructivist views of learning. they believe children actively construct knowledge through their interactions with the world.

g created by Charles Spearman believed there was a single, general intelligence for all mental abilities. Anything that tests cognitive functioning is intelligence, completely genetic

includes verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed

average iq = 100 intellectual impairment = 70 or lower gifted = 130 or higher g is measured through IQ tests

Gardner's intelligence theory that proposes that there are nine distinct spheres of intelligence 1. Verbal Linguistic - words and language 2. Logical Mathematical - numbers 3. Musical - create sound, music, rhythm 4. Bodily-Kinesthetic - control body movement 5. Spatial-Visual - think in images, space, and dimensions 6. Intrapersonal - understand ones self 7. Interpersonal - Perceive other's feelings 8. Naturalistic - understand the natural world 9. Existential - think deep about life

using songs to learn, using sports or nature to learn

The tendency to respond to the demands of the environment to meet one's goals (assimilation & accommodation)

The tendency to integrate particular observations into coherent knowledge

Maturation Experience Social interaction Internal Self-Regulatory Mechanism (Assimilation - new experience into existing schema, Accommodation - alter schema to fit new experience, Equilibrium. A balance between assimilation and accommodation)

Adjusting the level of support given to a learner during a learning task. More support given at the start of the task which is lessened as the learned develops skills to do the task independently.

Nature is very high for intelligence. That being said, be aware that nurture does influence IQ to a small extent (correlation studies). Identical twins in same house = closest IQ scores

-isolation by brain damage -the existence of prodigies -Evolutionary benefit -see it out in the world
