Your total response should be at least 250 words, include at least one in-text citation, and should answer each one of the following questions.
Do you think that there is any connection between the cognitive shifts that children make between about five and seven years of age and the fact that most cultures with formal education systems begin children’s schooling at this age period? Are these shifts continuous or discontinuous?
To answer this question, address the following points, some of which are covered in detail in one of Watson’s lectures:
Detail the many shifts that occur between five and seven years of age.
Discuss the differences between the preschooler (age 3-5) and the school age (age 7-11) child in terms of how they think differently.
Speculate as to why this shift might or might not make children ready for school.
Talk about the cognitive abilities of the child at the end of the concrete operational stage.
How are these cognitive abilities reflected in the types of learning activities in school? Provide a specific example of a learning activity and what cognitive ability enables the ability to engage in this activity.
Are these shifts continuous, as Bandura would assert, or they discontinuous, as Piaget believed? Defend your answer.
Your total response should be at least 250 words. Your explanations should be complete, clear, concise and thorough, and supported by cited information from a class learning resource, and follow APA style with your in-text citation and reference.
Show evidence of thoroughly reading and listening to the course resources. This is preferable to outside research. But if you provide additional resources, they will be graded on their scholarly credibility; that means sources of questionable truth may result in a lower grade on the post and sources of good credibility may result in a higher grade.
