The child in this video is using his cognitive domain in order to process what the adult is asking in both, English and Spanish as he responds back in English. He's using his creative imagination to build a home for these animals that he talks about having as pets. He understands the concept of daytime and night time as he talks about where the pets, himself and his mother will sleep. His sentences are short and may be repetitive as he speaks.

Toddlers imitate words and behaviors that children see around their surroundings and environment. This little boy calls his mother "Linda" whenever he debates with her to get his point across to his mom. He may go off topic with some things he says to his mother. He also uses his cognitive thinking in order to bribe his grandmother and mother to get something he wants, which are cupcakes.

4 Big Factors of Bandura's Social Learning Theory:

Attention:

Paying attention to what the other person is doing

Retention

Trying to memorize the behavior of the other person

Reproduction

The child has the ability and skill to perform the action or behavior

Motivation

Imitating the behavior that they observed if they were dependent on reinforcement (i.e. praise)

Toddlers learn by watching what other people do

Behaviorism is influenced by the environment around them

When toddler sees other people and the way it is behaved, they learn from it and use these as models for their own behaviors

In the Children's School at Sonoma State University, I observed a 3 year old boy who was very interested in books. Instead of reading the book, he described what was happening in the story by looking at the pictures. He used this creative method in order to create a storyline to teach himself what the story was about.

In the morning at Gold Ridge State Preschool, the toddlers are sitting in a circle while listening to the teacher read. In less than 5 minutes, the toddlers start to have a conversation with the students next to them, squirm around the rug, or start looking around the room. This shows that their attention span is really short and they start to get distracted by other things because they have lost interest in the curriculum.

By the time a child reaches the age of 3 years old they should be able to:
1. Share toys and take turns
2. Understand and follow rules
3. Partake in the beginning stages of dramatic play (for example, pretending to be an animal)

Social Play (Imaginative Play)
-Where children act out and role play various imaginitive or pretend games and scenarios that are familiar to them or interest them
-Children get to chose their roles and make up rules for the game (for example, acting out playing house, superhero's, or princesses)

4. Recognize the emotions of others and also have a broad range of emotions themselves
5. Show more independence and separate easier from parents or caregivers

Erik Erikson: Psychosocial Stage of Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt

-At this stage children are gaining independence and learning how to do things without the constant assistance of their parent or caregiver, and learning self-control

-Encourage child to dress oneself, potty train, and chose the toys they like to play with to encourage their autonomy development
