Physical Development
Girls slightly smaller and lighter than boys during these years [next]
Body fat also shows a slow, steady decline
Environmental experiencesurban, middle-SES, and firstborn children tend to be taller than rural, lower-SES, and later-born children
Brain material in some areas can nearly double in a year [next]

Weight and HealthCategories determined by body mass index (BMI)
More overweight young childrenBy age 5

Health & Illness During the Preschool Years
The majority of children in the United States are reasonably healthy.
Average American child > common cold is the most frequent (and most severe) illness.
Poor nutrition associated with low income
Nutrition linked to cognitive and physical growth
Underfed children > often less supervised, less stimulated, and less educated
Health Problems in Elementary School

Dangers that Preschoolers FaceHigh levels of physical activity (they can get around on their own now).
Poison, drowning in tub (~350/yr)/pools (~250/yr), falls, burns (2nd most common among preschoolers)
falls
poisoning
Boys have higher injury rates.
Economic and ethnic differences
Poverty = 2x higher risk
Cultural differences in supervision, gender roles
Head injury is leading cause of death for preschoolers
Motor vehicle accidents account for 38% (2011), but…

Socioeconomic Status
Health status of children correlates with income
“Approximately 11 million U.S. preschool children are malnourished and have lowered resistance to diseases”
(Howell, Pettit, & Kingsley, 2005; Ramey, Ramey, & Lanzi, 2006) (Olson, Tang, & Newacheck, 2005)
How are data collected?
Prevention (worldwide): reduce poverty; nutrition; sanitation; education; health services
In 2009 census, only 21 million under 5 total.

Handedness Historically, left-handers were forced to write with their right hand
Origin of handednessgeneticright-handedness is dominant in all cultures
Left-handers more likely to have reading problemstend to have better visual-spatial skills
Left-handedness more common than expected among mathematicians, musicians, architects, and artists

Fine Motor
• Can “copy” figures• Can cut with scissors on a line• Brushes teeth; combs hair, washes, dresses• Prints letters and numbers• Establishes hand preference• Laces and then ties shoes• Colors within lines• Cuts and pastes• Uses mouse on computer accurately

Cognitive Changes: Intellectual Development
Begin to represent the world with words, images, and drawings Use of concepts; mental reasoningEgocentrism and magical beliefs Child does not yet perform operations > reversible mental actions Characterized by symbolic thinking
Piaget’s Preoperational Stage: 2 to 7
![Page 20: Lifespan Chapter 5-Online Stud](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/553b3e5c5503461c478b46df/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Hart and Risley (1995)
Economic level a significant factor inamount of parental interactions
types of language children were exposed to
kinds of language used.
Poverty related to lower IQ scores by age five.
The longer children live in poverty, the more severe the consequences.

Piaget’s Preoperational Stage
CENTRATION - concentrating on one limited aspect of a stimulus and ignoring other aspects.
Demonstrated centration by experiments with CONSERVATION

Egocentric ThoughtThe inability to take the perspective of others; takes two forms:

5-23
Preoperational Thought: Intuitive Thought SubstageB/T ~4 and 7
Primitive reasoning and many questions
Questions signal the emergence of interest in reasoning and in figuring out why things are the way they are
“Intuitive” b/c children seem sure about their knowledge and understanding
![Page 24: Lifespan Chapter 5-Online Stud](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/553b3e5c5503461c478b46df/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
5-24
Critics of Piaget’s Approach to Cognitive Development
(revisited)Piaget underestimated capabilities. Cognition develops in a continuous manner, not in stages. Training can improve performance in conservation tasks. Focused too much on the deficiencies of young children's thought.

Vygotsky’s TheorySocial constructivist approach
ZPD -- zone of proximal development scaffolding
Which child has a larger ZPD?

Do improved language abilities in preschoolers lead to improvements in thinking ability, or is it the reverse?

5-28
Teaching Strategies Based on Vygotsky’s Theory
Assess the child’s ZPD
Use ZPD in teaching
Use more-skilled peers as teachers
Monitor and encourage children’s use of private speech (Private speech facilitates learning)
Place instruction in a meaningful context
![Page 29: Lifespan Chapter 5-Online Stud](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/553b3e5c5503461c478b46df/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
5-29
Comparing Piaget’s and Vygotsky’s Theories
Vygotsky’s emphasis on the importance of inner speech in development
Students need many opportunities to learn with a teacher and more-skilled peers
Piaget’s view that such speech is immature
Children need support to explore their world and discover knowledge

Criticizing Vygotsky
Overemphasized role of language in thinking
Emphasis on collaboration and guidance has potential pitfalls: Facilitators might be too helpful
Some children might become lazy and expect help when they might have done something on their own

Information-Processing Approach
Attention -- the focusing of cognitive resources
Memory -- the retention of information over time
