  1. Lifespan Development Physical and Cognitive Development in Middle Childhood 6 - 12 Chapter 9

  2. Physical Changes • Rate: • Gender Differences • Fine Motor Skills • Growth Spurts in the Brain • 6 – 8 • 10 - 12

  3. Physical Changes (cont.) • Neurological Development • Selective Attention • Information Processing • Spatial Perception/Cognition

  4. Figure 8.8 Selective Attention FIGURE 8.6 Context can substitute for a lack of appropriate prototypes in concept identification.

  5. Figure 8.1 Spatial Perception FIGURE 8.1 Imagery in thinking. (Top) Subjects were shown a drawing similar to (a) and drawings of how (a) would look in other positions, such as (b) and (c). Subjects could recognize (a) after it had been “rotated” from its original position. However, the more (a) was rotated in space, the longer it took to recognize it. This result suggests that people actually formed a three-dimensional image of (a) and rotated the image to see if it matched. (Shepard, 1975.) (Bottom) Try your ability to manipulate mental images: Picture each of these shapes as a piece of paper that can be folded to make a cube. After they have been folded, on which cubes do the arrow tips meet?

  6. Physical Changes (cont.) • Neurological Development • Selective Attention • Information Processing • Spatial Perception • Regular Medical Check-ups is necessary. • ______________ & ___________ are the most prevalent health problems.

  7. Cognitive Changes • Language • Piaget – concrete operations • Reversibility • Addition • Serial Ordering • Inductive Logic • Problems with Piaget?

  8. Schooling • Purposes of Schooling • Learning • Develop abstract or strategic forms of thinking • Social Relationships • Cultural or environmental demands or norms are learned

  9. Assessment Procedures • IQ or intelligence/standardized Tests • Achievement Tests • Problems with tests? • Emotional Intelligence or multi-intelligence theory

  10. SchoolTypes • What makes a good school? • AEB? • Home Schooling • Why? • Why not? • Now make it empirical/scientific

  11. Individual & Group Differences • Learning Disabled (L.D.) • ADHD • LTD English Skills • Gender
