Cog. & Socioemotinal Dev. in Early Child
Desarrollo Cognoscitivo y socioemocional en la niñez
Early childhood
• Growth from 3-6 years old
• Piaget’s second stage: Preoperational thought
(age 3-6/7)
Piaget’s Stage/ etapa 2: Preoperational Thought
• 3 – 6 years of age / años de edad
• Egocentrism/Egocéntrico- inability to take
another’s point of view
• Animism/Animismo- that inanimate objects
have conscious life & feelings; dotarle a los
objetos inanimados características realisticas.
• Artificialism/Artificialismo- natural events
or objects are under the control of superhuman
sources; la noción que alguien controla eventos o
objetos.
• Egocentricity/ Egocéntrico- Inability to view
the world from another’s point of view (i.e. –
“mine”)
La inabilidad {del niño} de ver otro punto de vista.
Conservation/Conservación
• The concept that certain basic properties of an object
remain the same even when a transformation changes
the physical appearance; el concepto que propiedades
básicos de un objeto siguen igual, aunque la apariencia
cambia.
• 3 well known conservation tasks:
Liquid,
number &
mass
• When asked: Do these two beakers have the
same amount of liquid, or does one have more?
• Preoperational child would answer: The taller
beaker has more liquid, “because this one is
taller, so it has more” (or “There are more ice
cubes, than the ones in the container, etc.)
Parten’s 6 Social Levels of Play /
6 Niveles del Juego
1) Unoccupied Play / Juego Desocupado Standing by, may play with his/her own hands, or
follow a teacher.
2) Onlooking Play / Juego Observado- A child
observes another child (or group) playing, asks
questions, but does not participate.
3) Solitary Play/ Juego Solitario - Playing alone;
not attempting to connect with any other children
near by.
4) Parallel Play / Juego Paralelo - Playing
beside another child; not with the other
child(ren)…
5) Associative Play / Juego Asociado Playing among other children; the child
associates (shares toys) with others, but his play
is still independent; play is not coordinated with
others play…
6) Cooperative Play / Juego Cooperativo Children coordinate their actions to create a
general whole; each child has a role; there is a
goal or a purpose to the play session…
Piaget’s Cognitive Dev. Theory

•
•
Sensorimotor (0-2);
Pre-Operational (3-7);
Concrete operational (7-11);
Formal operational (12- adult)
• Piaget’s Stage/ etapa 3: Concrete Operational
Thought
• Periodo de las operaciones concretas (se
extiende desde los 7 años hasta los 11 años).
Conservation/Conservación
• The concept that certain basic properties of an object
remain the same even when a transformation changes
the physical appearance is mastered by 7;
• El concepto que propiedades básicos de un objeto
siguen igual, aunque la apariencia cambia, es entendido
por el niño de 7 años
• Thinking becomes
decentered: multiple aspects
of a problem/situation/
task… aspectos múltiples se
consideran al mismo tiempo
• Reversibility (en orden
inverso) emerges…
• Class inclusion
emerges: the
understanding that
objects can be
classified in different
ways and at different
levels…poder entender que
objetos se pueden clasificar a
varios niveles o categorías
(i.e.- dinosaurio )
• Seriation emerges: the ability to order a set of items quantitatively
(by size, weight, or length)…
• La habilidad de poner objetos en orden (físicamente), usando el
tamaño, peso, o cantidad).

• Transitive inference / inferir transitivo (deducir)- when a child
seriates/orders mentally… La habilidad de deducir (mentalmente)
