Scene 1

MODULE 13:  Cognitive Development of Infants and Toddlers  	 - Brenda B. CORPUZ,  Phd

“Infants and toddlers are born ready to learn. They learn through listening to language, trying sounds, tasting foods and exploring their environments in countless ways everyday”

Objectives;. In this module you are challenged to;. 

Scene 2

Trace the cognitive development of infants and toddlers.

Identify factors that enhance/impede the cognitive development of infants and toddlers

Present your own other’s research on the cognitive development of infants and toddlers

Draw implications of cognitive development concepts to child care, education and parenting.

Introduction:. Cognitive development in infancy refers to development in the way baby thinks. This includes his/her language, communication and exploration skills.. 

Scene 3

Cognitive development in infancy refers to development in the way baby thinks. This includes his/her language, communication and exploration skills.

Examples of cognitive activities includes, paying attention, remembering’ learning to talk, interacting with toys and identifying faces.

6 substages of the Sensorimotor. Developmental Stage. 

Scene 4

Simple Reflexes (From birth – 6 weeks). Coordination of sensation and action through reflexive behaviors. Sucking of objects in the mouth Following moving of interesting objects with the eyes; and closing of the hand when object makes contact with the palm (palmar grasp). 

Scene 5

Coordination of sensation and action through reflexive behaviors. Sucking of objects in the mouth Following moving of interesting objects with the eyes;  and closing of the hand when object makes contact with the palm (palmar grasp)

First habits and primary circular reaction phase (6 weeks – 4 months). 

Scene 6

First habits and primary circular reaction phase (6 weeks – 4 months)

Coordination of sensation and two types of schemes: habit (reflex) and primary circular reaction.  Primary reaction because the action is focused on the infants body.  Circular reaction because it is repetition of an action that is initially occurred by chance. Example:  Infants might repeat the motion of passing their hand before their face.

SECONDARY CIRCULAR REACTIONS PHASE (4-8 MONTHS). Development of habits.. 

Scene 7

SECONDARY CIRCULAR REACTIONS PHASE  (4-8 MONTHS)

Infants become more object oriented; moving beyond self-preoccupation that bring interesting or pleasurable results.

This stage is associated primarily with the development of coordination between vision and prehension.

At this stage: Infants will intentionally grasp the air in the direction of a desired object, often to the amusement of friends and family.

Secondary circular reaction or the repetition of an action involving an external object begin. E.g moving a switch to turn on light repeatedly.

COORDINATION OF REACTION STAGE SECONDARY CIRCULAR (8 – 12 MONTHS). 

Scene 8

COORDINATION OF REACTION STAGE SECONDARY CIRCULAR (8 – 12 MONTHS)

Coordination of vision and touch-hand eye coordination; of schemes and intentionality.

This stage is associated primarily to the development of logic and the coordination between means and ends.

This is an extremely important stage of development, holding what Piaget calls “the first proper intelligence”

This stage marks the beginning of goal orientation, the deliberate planning of steps to meet an objective. The action is directed towards a goal.

TERTIARY CIRCULAR REACTIONS, NOVELTY, AND CURIOSITY (12-18 MONTHS). 

Scene 9

TERTIARY CIRCULAR REACTIONS, NOVELTY, AND CURIOSITY (12-18 MONTHS)

Infants become intrigued by the many properties of objects and by many things they can make happen to objects; they experiment with new behavior.

This stage is associated primarily with the discovery of new means to meet goals.

Piaget describes the child at this juncture as the “young scientist” conducting pseudo experiments to discover new methods of meeting challenges.

INTERNALIZATION OF SCHEMES (INVENTION OF NEW MEANS THROUGH MENTAL COMBINATION (18-24 MONTHS). 

Scene 10

INTERNALIZATION OF SCHEMES (INVENTION OF NEW MEANS THROUGH MENTAL COMBINATION (18-24 MONTHS)

Infants develop the ability to use primitive symbols and from enduring mental representations.

This stage is associated primarily with the beginnings of insight, or true creativity.

This marks the passage into preoperational stage.

Evidence of an internal representational system. Symbolizing the problem-solving sequence before actually responding.

ABSTRACTION: SENSORIMOTOR STAGE. REFLEXIVE Behaviors to more REFINED and more COORDINATED activities.. 

Scene 11

REFLEXIVE Behaviors to more REFINED and more COORDINATED activities.

From being focused in themselves to becoming object or world-oriented

From one that is action-based to one that is mentally based

From one that does not involved in coordination of schemes to one involving intentionality, novelty, and curiosity from thinking that is purely sensorimotor to a symbolic one.

Piaget’s substages are term circular because the adaptative behavior to the world involves repeated action. Circular reactions are attempts to repeat an event that the baby likes circular reactions serve as the building blocks for intelligence. (Pasek, P and Gollinkoff, R. 2003). 

Scene 12

Piaget’s substages are term circular because the adaptative behavior to the world involves repeated action. Circular reactions are attempts to repeat an event that the baby likes circular reactions serve as the building blocks for intelligence. (Pasek, P and Gollinkoff, R. 2003)

Primary circular reactions are oriented toward the infant’s own body, whereas secondary circular reactions are aimed toward the environment including others.

Secondary circular reactions are repetitive actions that involve repetitive actions and recreating events which 4-10 month old babies observe outside of their own bodies, such as making their mobile crib shake by kicking their legs. (Pasek, P and Gollinkoff, R. 2003)

Tertiary circular reactions, seen from approximately 10-18 months, is when a baby does things over and over again.

“Acquiring the sense of object permanence is one of the infant’s most important accomplishments, according to Piaget”

Object Permanence is the understanding that objects continue to exist even when the objects are not immediately perceptible through the senses.  Before the infant’s acquisition of the sense of object permanence, the principle that apply is  “out of sight, out of mind”.
