6. What are the 2 forms of constructivism

  • Cognitive (Piaget) - learners active in constructing knowledge when making sense of experiences. Social (Vygotsky) - social interactions are important as learners participate with others in meaningful ways
  • Social (Vygotsky) - learners active in constructing knowledge when making sense of experiences. Cognitive (Piaget) - social interactions are important as learners participate with others in meaningful ways
  • Cognitive (Vygotsky) - learners active in constructing knowledge when making sense of experiences. Social (Piaget) - social interactions are important as learners participate with others in meaningful ways
  • Social (Piaget) - learners active in constructing knowledge when making sense of experiences. Cognitive (Vygotsky) - social interactions are important as learners participate with others in meaningful ways

7. What are the 4 stages of cognitive development as defined by Piaget

  • Sensorimotor, pre-operational, concrete operational, formal operational
  • Sensational motor, pre-operational, concrete operational, formal knowledge
  • operational, concrete operational, formal operational
  • pre-operational, concrete knowledge, formal knowledge

8. Define the meaning of Vygotsky's ZPD

  • The child is capable of solving more advanced problems but requires 'scaffolding' to get there
  • The child is not capable of solving more advanced problems without being told how to do it fully
  • The child is capable of solving more advanced problems and are able to get there themselves with some time
  • The child is not capable of solving more advanced problems without being shown first

9. Outline some limitations to Piaget's theory

  • There are individual differences in the rate at which children progress
  • There are individual differences in the rate at which children experience learning situations
  • There are individual differences in the quality of children's early experiences
  • There are individual differences between children's attitudes to learning

10. What is Vygotsky's Sociocultural Perspective?

  • That you can separate learning from social context and cognitive functions are products of social interaction
  • That you cannot separate learning from social context and cognitive functions are products of socialisation
  • That you cannot separate learning from social context and cognitive functions are products of social interaction
  • That you cannot separate learning from social context and physicla abilities are products of social interaction

11. What is the difference between active and passive learning?

  • Passive learning (constructivists) - something done by you. Active learning (behaviourists) - something done to you
  • Passive learning (behaviourists) - something done by you. Active learning (constructivists) - something done to you
  • Active learning (constructivists) - something done by you. Passive learning (behaviourists) - something done to you
  • Active learning (behaviourists) - something done by you. Passive learning (constructivists) - something done to you

12. Skinner's rats is an example of

  • Classical conditioning
  • Positive reinforcement
  • Operant conditioning
  • Negative reinforcement

13. Outline a limitation to behaviourism

  • It ignores external factors, people don't always respond the same way and people can learn without reinforcement
  • It ignores internal processes, people don't always respond the same way and people can learn without anything
  • It ignores internal processes, people don't always respond the same way and people can learn without reinforcement
  • It ignores internal processes, people always respond the same way and people can learn without reinforcement

14. In SLT - what affects the liklihood of imitation?

  • Attentional processes (child age), retentional processes (remebering it), reproductive processes (copyable), incentive processes (reward)
  • Attentional processes (noticing it), retentional processes (remebering it), reproductive processes (worth it), incentive processes (reward)
  • Attentional processes (noticing it), retentional processes (remebering it), reproductive processes (copyable), incentive processes (reward)
  • Attentional processes (noticing it), retentional processes (how to do it), reproductive processes (copyable), incentive processes (reward)

15. What is Bandura's social learning theory take on how people learn

  • They learn by observing others - such as in the Bobo Doll Experiment (1965)
  • They copy violent behaviour they have observed from others - such as in the Bobo Doll Experiment (1965)
  • They learn by listening to others - such as in the Bobo Doll Experiment (1965)
  • They learn by copying action they know have no consequences - such as in the Bobo Doll Experiment (1965)

16. How did Piaget coin his theory of cognitive development?

  • By interviewing his children and adults friends and comparing how they see the world differently
  • By interviewing groups of children of varying ages and how their processes change radically
  • Observing his children and how their processes change radically
  • By observing his children and adults friends and comparing how they see the world differently

17. Define Piaget's 'schemas'

  • We organise our thoughts and actions into cognitive structures to help us understand and interact with the world
  • We ignore some of our thoughts and actions and the rest go into cognitive structures to help us understand and interact with the world
  • We organise our thoughts and actions into physical structures to help us understand and interact with the world
  • We ignore some thoughts and actions to help us understand and interact with the world

18. Pavlov's dogs and Watson's Little Albert study is an example of...

  • Classical conditioning
  • Negative reinforcement
  • Operant conditioning
  • Positive reinforcement

19. What are some limitations of the Bobo Doll experiment?

  • Generalisability - lab conditions, long term impacts, a doll doesn't equal a human. Validity - they may have just wanted to please the adults
  • Generalisability - lab conditions, long term impacts, a doll doesn't equal a human. Validity - they may have just wanted to annoy the adults
  • Generalisability - lab conditions, short term impacts, a doll doesn't equal a human. Validity - they may have just wanted to please the adults
  • Generalisability - few participants, long term impacts, a doll doesn't equal a human. Validity - they may have just wanted to please the adults

20. Define Token Economies

  • A system of behaviour modification based on the reinforcement of target behaviour
  • A system of behaviour modification based on the rejection of bad behaviour
  • A system of behaviour modification based on the reinforcement of good behaviour
  • A system of behaviour sustaining based on the reinforcement of target behaviour
