Module 6: ( Activity 1 )

Piaget’s Stages of Cognitive Development.

Read the situation under ACTIVITY Module 6 and answer the

following questions.

1.  On situation 1: Why do you think did Karen prefer the 20 peso

bills? Answer:

Karen, who is only three years old, has no idea how much each

banknote is worth. She likely believed that "four" 20-peso notes

were worth more than "only one" 100-peso banknote. She might

like red and orange over blue, which could be another issue.

2. On situation 2: Why do you think Riel answered "Bear?" What

does this say about how she thought to answer the question?

Answer:

Riel used the word "bear" because she believed that stuffed

animals were distinct from bears or that bears did not belong in the

category of stuffed animals.

3. On situation 3: Why do you think Baby Liza appeared to enjoy

dropping the spoons? Answer:

Liza looked to like dropping the spoons, which is likely a sign that

she is still in the sensori-motor stage. Through his perceptions and

physical activities, the infant gains knowledge about himself and

the outside world throughout this period.
