Throughout early childhood, children seek rational answers to explain what they know through observation and experience

Piaget called this phase the preoperational stage of thinking as it represents a time when children’s use of symbolic and logical thinking grows

Operations refer to the formal or logical processes that are organized mental processes

In this stage, children continue to explore their world, learning more and more as they organize their experiences

Young children gradually move from using intuition to more rational and logical thinking

The preoperational stage is marked by three characteristics

• Centration
• Lack of conservation
• Egocentrism

As such, culture serves as a mediator for the formation and development of specific abilities, such as learning, memory, attention, and problem solving.]]> 2021-04-16 12:57:53 UTC https://padlet.com/hdballeducation/bf64l5jw4rory27i/wish/1425178355 hdballeducation https://padlet.com/hdballeducation/bf64l5jw4rory27i/wish/1425187590 2021-04-16 13:00:14 UTC https://padlet.com/hdballeducation/bf64l5jw4rory27i/wish/1425187590 hdballeducation https://padlet.com/hdballeducation/bf64l5jw4rory27i/wish/1425195525

Vygotsky believed that children learn what they know through social interaction

Parents and caregivers
should provide as many
opportunities for creative
and imaginative play
as possible

As the brain develops, there are windows of opportunity for optimizing the development of critical skills

Lengths of time for physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional development windows vary

Providing children with rich experiences and activities will stimulate brain development

Language is an important part of cognitive development in early childhood

Children can focus on their inward thoughts, often referred to as metacognition

Children think about what they remember, or metamemory

Typically, young children learn phonology, followed by morphology, syntax, semantics, and then pragmatics

Phonology refers to the sounds that make up words

Morphology includes word structures and formations

Syntax refers to sentence structure, or when words are combined to form grammatical sentences

Semantics refers to the meaning of words

Pragmatics refers to using language properly

Humor can be used positively as a form of self-expression and language development

Learning what is considered culturally right or wrong is a process

Younger children respond to rewards and punishments instead of making moral decisions

They are in Kohlberg’s first level of moral development, or preconventional morality
