Nelcy's Cognitive Development Case Study

I would like to place Lilo from the movie Lilo and Stitch, into the following theorists, Piaget and Kohlberg’s theory.

World War I significantly influenced the modern world in which all humanity subsists. The United States of America was altered internally and externally by the Great War. Shadowing World War I America was distinguished as a supreme nation holding great power; subsequently the nation would be redefined politically, economically, and socially.

Edgar Allan Poe is well distinguished for writing some of the most horrifying stories ever written throughout history. Also, he is known for working with the natural world, animals, and weather to establish thrilling and chilling literature. His most proficient and notable thrillers known in his works are “The Cask of Amontillado” and “The Tell-tale Heart”. Poe was obsessed with death, disfigurement and dark phenomenon of the world. He can blend characters, setting, theme and mood making the readers be naturally attracted to reading his work.

Bright Starz is a planned non-profit child development center for children from the ages 3 to 5. Our Bright starz goal is intended to enhance Cognitive Development by implementing it into our activities at school. Cognitive Development is “the construction of the thought process including remembering problem solving and decision-making from childhood though adolescences to adulthood”(Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning, 2015). At Bright Starz Cognitive Development is our main focus and we center all our activities around it.

The story of Achilles is a fascinating story that shows how talented a soldier he really was. He is the son of King Peleus of Phthia and the sea goddess, Thetis. She desired her son to be immortal. So, she dipped him in the River Styx by his heel, but where she held him, remained mortal. Achilles goes from unknown to a great hero of the Trojan War and will always be remembered.

Vygotsky proposed that children’s development is affected by their culture and social interaction. He also suggested that children are not born with knowledge but they gain it through their social interactions with peers and adults; he does not rule out the importance of biological processes but proposes an interdependent relationship between biological development alongside social activity and cultural interaction.

Appropriate developmental age: I believe my toy is classified in Piaget's stages Preoperational stage, since their learning through manipulating the material and symbolic play. So this is suitable for anyone of the ages 2 and older.

Discuss the concept of ‘constructivism’ (from Piaget’s theory of cognitive development). Use a mix of theory and research to back up your ideas about whether or not the child constructs his/her own development.

Throughout development humans acquire motor, social, and cognitive skills. From the video titled “Lots of Babies”, it can be observed that most of the children shown in the video are children that have not strengthen their upper and lower extremities. Through motor development the child will go through different stages in which she/he learns to get around their environment using their body. For the first months of the child’s life they are learning how to control their posture and mobility. There is a particular example of this in which an infant girl is first laying on her back in a pronate position. As the infant is on her back she tries to reach for her right leg. The mother then tries to get the infant's attention with a small toy and instructing

There has been much controversy over understanding the social aspects of cognitive development in children. Some of this controversy is revealed through the differing views that Piaget and Vygotsky had on the topic of learning amongst children. Piaget theorized that collaboration between same aged children, who are equal in understanding, promotes cognitive development. He theorized that when children engage in disagreement during problem solving this promoted more understanding of the topics at hand. In contrast, Vygotsky reasoned that collaboration between novice and experts would lead to intellectual growth.

The three adaptive processes for cognitive development are assimilation, accommodation, and equilibrium. These are three agents

There were many opportunities to observe Jackie’s physical and motor development. There are two types of motor development, fine and gross motor. Fine motor is described as “skills that require control of the small muscles of the body. Developing control of the hands and fingers enables the 3-year old to hold a crayon using her fingers rather than her fist, to build a tower of blocks, and to use scissors to cut paper ” (Levine and Munsch, 2016, p.255). Jackie demonstrated her fine motor skills while painting with a paintbrush, placing blocks into holes, and using her fingers to take a hat off. While painting using a paint brush Jackie used a fist grip. This means “When using a pencil or crayon, a young child will hold the item

This paper is going to carry out a literature review on cognitive development in infants. The paper will review cognitive development in infants at different stages. Effects of early experience on mental development in infants will also be discussed. The research question and the hypothesis of the research will also be given.

According to Piaget (1929, 1954, 1963), the process of adaptation helps us to understand how a child constructs his/her world. Taking Piaget's theory of Cognitive Development with particular focus on the Sensori-Motor stage of development, I am going to discuss how understanding this stage might influence me when working with a baby as a nursing student in the future.

There are many different things that shape the cognitive development of children. To begin with cognitive development is when a child develops how to process, solve problems, and start making decisions. Once they have learned this they take everything they have learned into their adolescence. An example, of what can shape the cognitive development of a child can be an educational game. Educational games can be very useful in shaping a child’s development because they are having fun while learning at the same time and what kid doesn’t like to play games, the fact that it is even educational makes it even better for them. Not only are they having fun but there are many different games that help in different categories of development in
