Cognitive Development.
Q: What do kids know at different ages?
• How do we find out what they know? (Methods)
• What do we think they know? (Theories)
• What do they seem to know? (Results)

Methods (infants)
• Play studies– Kids do the darnedest things!
• Habituation– Get infant bored, then look for the infant to
regain interest
• Eye-tracking– Find out where children are looking
• High-amplitude sucking
• ERP

Theories of development
• Nativism vs Empiricism
• Piaget
• Pre-Piagetian knowledge.

Theories of development
Nativism• Infants are born with
rich knowledge of the structure of the world
• Core knowledge includes knowledge about events and objects
Empiricism/
(~Constructivism)• Infants are born into a
“blooming, buzzing confusion”
• Must discover the structure of the world by perceptual and motor experience

Piaget’s Scheme
• Schemas: frameworks in which to organize information
• Assimilation: making information fit into a pre-set schema.
• Accomodation: changing a schema to account for new information.
• Development is articulation (refinement) and differentiation (like speciation in evolution) of schemas.

Piaget’s stages1. Sensorimotor: 0-2 (children
experience the world through movement and senses and learn object permanence)
2. Preoperational stage: 2-7 (acquisition of motor skills)
3. Concrete operational: 7-11 (children begin to think logically about concrete events conservation!)
4. Formal operational: 11+ (development of abstract reasoning)

• Subtle measurements of infants (ref. methods from before)
• Nearly newborns know– How to imitate– Object permanence– Conservation of quantity, mass– Gravity and support

Theory of Mind
• The “theory” that others have goals, beliefs, and desires
• Young children make mistakes in reasoning about others’ beliefs
• Piaget called this “egocentrism” (inability to take others’ perspective)

(up until ~4 years, children say “box”)

Should we try to “pump up” kids’ cognitive development with products like Baby
Einstein?

In animals?
A clear plastic bowl was placed within reach of the ape by putting it halfway under the bottom of the ape's cage. The bowl was situated so that the experimenter could place chocolate pieces into the bowl from the outside of the ape's cage, and so that the ape could pull the bowl into the cage at any time during the trial. The experimenter (the author) had a second bowl that contained 20 chocolate pieces. He picked up chocolate pieces from his bowl and placed them into the ape's bowl, one at a time, until either all 20 pieces had been transferred into the ape's bowl or until the ape pulled its bowl into the cage and consumed the chocolate pieces.
