Intellectual Development
What exactly is it?
![Page 2: Intellectual Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816711550346895ddb7b0c/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
What is cognitive development?
Refers to how a person:• Perceives things• Thinks and gains understanding of
his world through the interaction of genetics and learned factors (environment)
![Page 3: Intellectual Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816711550346895ddb7b0c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Learning in the First Year
Newborns can hear, see, taste, smell and
feel.
Babies’ ability to learn from the senses is called perception.
They use these abilities as the building blocks of
learning.

AbilitiesIn the first year babies develop four abilities that
show growing and thinking power• Remembering
– A two- or three- month old baby may stop crying when someone enters the room because the baby know that he or she is now likely to be picked up an comforted.
• Making Associations– The baby crying example also explains associations
because the baby associates stopping crying with receiving comfort

Abilities• Understanding cause and effect
– Idea that one actions results in another action or condition. Every time an infant does something, something else happens. Example: closes eyes gets dark, opens eyes gets light, pull string on toy makes a noise.
• Paying Attention– A baby’s ability to concentrate on a task
without getting bored grows stronger

Developmental Changes Chart
Age• 1-2 months• 3-4 months• 5-6 months• 7-8 months• 9-10 months• 11-12 months

Jean Piaget• A child psychologist who studies
how children solve problems. He found:– Children use different kinds of though
processes as they grow– The processes always occur in the
same order but may vary in length or overlap
– He divided the different levels of cognitive development into 4 stages

Four Stages
•Sensorimotor0-2 yrs•Preoperational2-7 yrs•Concrete Operations 7-11•Formal Operations11 into
adulthood
![Page 9: Intellectual Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816711550346895ddb7b0c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
1. Sensorimotor• Ages 0-2• Children explore and learn about their world
using their senses• Children are figuring out new ways to use
objects• Toward the end of this stage children learn
that objects exist even when they are out of site, this is called object permanence. (they can even find partially hidden objects)
![Page 10: Intellectual Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816711550346895ddb7b0c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

![Page 12: Intellectual Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816711550346895ddb7b0c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
1. Sensorimotor• Children also may become
egocentric as they reach the end of this stage.
• Egocentrism
![Page 13: Intellectual Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816711550346895ddb7b0c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
2. Preoperational• Age 2-7• Children start to take an interest in the world
around them but still think the world revolves around them (“look at me” “look what I did”)
• Children develop language and want to learn the names and functions of objects.
• Once they think they have figured something out they have difficulty forming a new conclusion if new evidence is presented. This is called cognitive dissonance.
![Page 14: Intellectual Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816711550346895ddb7b0c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Trick Questions …Some months have 31 days but
others have 30. How many months have 28 days?

2. PreoperationalChildren in this stage
learn:• Classification:
sorting or arranging items by common trait (color or shape)
• Seriation: arranging items according to size or number
![Page 16: Intellectual Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816711550346895ddb7b0c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
2. Preoperational• Children in this stage can pretend,
fantasize and think symbolically.
![Page 17: Intellectual Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816711550346895ddb7b0c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
3. Concrete Operations• Ages 7-11• Operations means: making
something carry out it’s function• Concrete means: able to see and
touch because it is real
![Page 18: Intellectual Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816711550346895ddb7b0c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
3. Concrete Operations• Children can think about actions
without actually doing them.
![Page 19: Intellectual Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816711550346895ddb7b0c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Concrete Operations• Children can do mental operations
such as relating objects in different ways and they understand that objects keep the same weight, area and amount when they are moved.
• Piaget called this conservation.
![Page 20: Intellectual Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816711550346895ddb7b0c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
![Page 22: Intellectual Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816711550346895ddb7b0c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
3. Concrete Operations• Children in this stage have the
ability to think about how an object was before they used it.
• Piaget called this reversibility.
![Page 24: Intellectual Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816711550346895ddb7b0c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
4. Formal Operations• Ages 12 – adulthood• In this stage, abstract and
hypothetical thinking can occur without the help of real objects.
• Abstract questions are understood and can be discussed.
• Example “What is Love?”
![Page 25: Intellectual Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816711550346895ddb7b0c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
4. Formal Operations• Predicting consequences and the
use of reasoning and creativity to solve problems also occurs during this stage.
• Deductive Reasoning• Piaget believed some people
never reach this stage at all.

• Infant Scientist!• In this stage children learn
about the world through their senses and body movements
• This stage is broken up into 6 different steps
![Page 28: Intellectual Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816711550346895ddb7b0c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Stage 1: Birth – 1 month• Practices inborn reflexes• Does not understand self as a separate
person
