10.1.1 Piaget's Theory

• What is the central idea of Piaget's Theory regarding language and thought?

  Thought precedes language
• Children must understand concepts before they can use language
• Object permanence develops during the Sensorimotor Stage.
• Match each stage of cognitive development with its key characteristic:

  Sensorimotor ↔️ Object permanence

  Preoperational ↔️ Egocentrism

  Concrete Operational ↔️ Conservation

  Formal Operational ↔️ Abstract reasoning
• What age range is associated with the Preoperational Stage?

  2-7 years
• Conservation is understood during the Concrete Operational Stage.
• Abstract reasoning develops during the Formal Operational Stage.
• What does Piaget's Theory suggest about the relationship between cognitive development and language acquisition?

  Cognitive development drives language
• Arrange the stages of cognitive development in the correct order according to age:

  1️⃣ Sensorimotor

  2️⃣ Preoperational

  3️⃣ Concrete Operational

  4️⃣ Formal Operational
• In the Sensorimotor Stage, language begins with simple vocalizations and single words related to senses
• What is egocentrism a key characteristic of in the Preoperational Stage?

  Inability to see others' perspectives
• Children in the Concrete Operational Stage can explain why the amount of water in a different shaped glass remains the same.
• Match each cognitive stage with its example of language use:

  Sensorimotor ↔️ Saying "milk" when hungry

  Preoperational ↔️ Using "one apple" for more than one

  Concrete Operational ↔️ Explaining conservation of water

  Formal Operational ↔️ Debating the ethics of AI
• What type of reasoning develops during the Formal Operational Stage?

  Abstract reasoning
• Piaget's Theory proposes that thought precedes language
• In the sensorimotor stage, infants learn through their senses and actions
• The concrete operational stage is characterized by logical operations with concrete objects
• Abstract reasoning develops in the formal operational stage.
• What does Piaget's theory propose about the relationship between thought and language?

  Thought precedes language
• In the sensorimotor stage, infants develop object permanence
• Egocentrism is a prominent characteristic of the preoperational stage.
• Conservation is understood during the concrete operational stage
• Which stage is characterized by abstract reasoning and hypothetical thinking?

  Formal operational
• Arrange Piaget's stages of cognitive development in chronological order:

  1️⃣ Sensorimotor

  2️⃣ Preoperational

  3️⃣ Concrete operational

  4️⃣ Formal operational
• In Piaget's theory, language serves as a reflection of underlying cognitive development
• Match each stage of Piaget's theory with its corresponding language role:

  Sensorimotor ↔️ Simple vocalizations and single words

  Preoperational ↔️ Symbolic language without true understanding

  Concrete operational ↔️ Logical and organized language

  Formal operational ↔️ Express complex ideas and hypothetical situations
• What is the central relationship between language and thought in Piaget's theory?

  Thought precedes language
• Symbolic language without true understanding is a characteristic of the preoperational stage.
• Conservation is understood in the concrete operational stage, allowing children to explain reasoning.
• In which stage do children debate the ethics of AI as an example of complex reasoning?

  Formal operational
• Match each stage of Piaget's theory with an example of language use:

  Sensorimotor ↔️ "Milk" when hungry

  Preoperational ↔️ "One apple" to mean more than one

  Concrete operational ↔️ Explaining why water amounts are the same

  Formal operational ↔️ Debating the ethics of AI
• Piaget's tasks may underestimate children's cognitive abilities.
• Piaget's stages may not universally apply across cultures
• What did Piaget's theory lack focus on regarding cognitive development?

  Gradual stage transitions
• Piaget's theory insufficiently considers the influence of social interaction.
• Match each theory with its key principle:

  Piaget ↔️ Thought precedes language

  Vygotsky ↔️ Language influences thought

  Chomsky ↔️ Language is innate
• Vygotsky believed that language is a primary tool for mediating knowledge and understanding
• Piaget's theory states that thought precedes language
• Object permanence is a key characteristic of the sensorimotor stage in Piaget's theory.
• Match the stage of Piaget's cognitive development with its key characteristic:

  Sensorimotor ↔️ Object permanence

  Preoperational ↔️ Egocentrism

  Concrete Operational ↔️ Conservation

  Formal Operational ↔️ Abstract reasoning
