• List each of Piaget's four stages, and their approximate age
range.
• For each, identify and define a developing cognitive
ability. (You may choose something that develops during
that stage—e.g., the symbolic function for the
preoperational stage—or one that's listed under
'Challenges'—e.g., egocentrism.)
• For each cognitive ability, give a specific example of a zone
of proximal development: what the child can do on their
own, and how a more knowledgeable other might scaffold
the child to the outer range of their ability in that area (what
they can do if guided.)
• The examples should be from your own experience
(either as a child, or as an MKO), or hypothetical
(made up.) They should NOT be examples taken
directly from the textbook, lecture, or experiments we
watched in class.
• You can either write out each example as a paragraph,
being sure you identify the information specified
below in parenthesis; or you can write the example in
a couple of sentences, and then provide the
information below using bullet points.
