Theories of Cognitive Development: An insight to the theories of Piaget‚ Information-processing and Vygotsky How do we learn? How do we grow? Over the years‚ psychologists have studied to great lengths the processes that humans go through as they progress from infancy to adulthood. Several theories have emerged over time with three prominent ones. Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky produced two important and distinct theories. Another important theory‚ the information-processing theory‚ presents

Information Processing and Cognitive Development Information processing is a perspective (approach) to the study of cognition and cognitive development in which the mind is likened to a computer. However‚ rather than focusing on mere input and output‚ psychologists who adhere to this approach place specific emphasis on the processes of cognitive development. Cognitive perspectives examine development in terms of mental processing. The two major views within this subject are cognitive developmental

The Social Information Processing Theory states that a parent’s cognitive process may affect their choice to engage in abusive behavior. An online study explored this theory to test whether the cognitive process truly influenced potential abusive behavior and strict disciplinary styles between a parent and a child. It also collected data regarding parent’s personal characteristics‚ stress coping styles‚ anger control/management‚ and child developmental norms with abuse. There is a cognitive four-stage

TRICHROMATIC THEORY AND THE OPPONENT-PROCESSING THEORY BY EMPHASIZING ON THE SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES. “How do our eyes and brain allow us to perceive colors?” To begin with‚ Color vision is the capacity of an organism to distinguish objects. Many scientists have asked the mentioned above question and hence they have put forward two theories to explain the process of color vision. These two theories were known as The Trichromatic Theory of Vision and The Opponent-Processing Theory of Vision

Semantic Memory Information Processing Maria Montessori stressed out‚ “there is nothing in the intellect that does not pass first through the senses.” People learn in different ways. But the most prevalent way is when learning takes place to an environment in which the learner can manipulatively perceived the materials. The semantic memory information processing shows about the systematic steps on how a person can understand‚ interprets meaning about general knowledge‚ factual information‚ essentials

Ass.Prof.Dr. Thamer Information theory 4th class in Communications Error Detection and Correction 1. Types of Errors Whenever bits flow from one point to another‚ they are subject to unpredictable changes because of interference. This interference can change the shape of the signal. In a single-bit error‚ a 0 is changed to a 1 or a 1 to a 0. The term single-bit error means that only 1 bit of a given data unit (such as a byte‚ character‚ or packet) is changed from 1 to 0 or from 0 to 1. The term

Nine hundred and ninety nine participants were presented with 26 pairs of words under both semantic and phonemic conditions and then tested to see how many they could recall. Participants were also asked to assess themselves prior to the experiment. It was found that most people overestimated their abilities and did not take into account the method of encoding.
