CRITICISMS of PIAGET’S THEORY (3)

PROBLEMS W/ RESEARCH METHODS (research sample was all from children of well-educated families)
FORMAL OPERATIONS environmental factors may play a role in the development of formal operations.
UNDERESTIMATES CHILDREN’S ABILITIES
children 4-5years have some ability to take the perspective of another person, meaning they are far less egocentric than Piaget believed.

Marcia's (4) different adolescent identity statuses

- IDENTITY ACHIEVEMENT - MORATIUM - FORECLOSURE - IDENTITY DIFFUSION

"status when a person has made a COMMITMENT without attempting IDENTITY EXPLORATION. (I'll just take on the values of my parents)"

- FORECLOSURE

"status of a person who is ACTIVELY INVOLVED in EXPLORING DIFFERENT IDENTITIES, but has not made a commitment."

- MORATIUM

"when an individual has gone through an exploration of different identities and made a commitment to one."

- IDENTITY ACHIEVEMENT

"when there is NEITHER an IDENTITY CRISIS OR COMMITMENT."

"Piaget's term for the awareness that PHYSICAL QUANTITIES remain CONSTANT in spite of CHANGES in their SHAPE or appearance." (beaker of water)

- CONSERVATION

"the tendency to focus on just ONE FEATURE of a problem, neglecting other important aspects" ( concentrate on height of water and not height)

- CENTRATION

"inability to envision reversibility in action" (for instance, in grappling with the conservation of water, they don't think about what would happen if water were poured back from the tall beaker into the original beaker)
