まとめ
子供は親よりも数字のジェスチャーを多く使いますが どちらも言葉よりもジェスチャーを少なく使います 両親や子供の初期のジェスチャーは 後の数学の知識を 予測できませんでした
科学分野:
- 発達心理学
- 認知科学
- 子供 の 発達
背景:
- 研究によると 子供の数字のジェスチャーは 数字の言葉よりも 数字の知識を反映しているようです
- 以前の研究では 幼児のジェスチャーの使い方と 数字の理解との関連が示されています
- 親と子供による象徴的な数字ジェスチャーの特定の文脈と頻度はさらなる調査を必要としています.
研究 の 目的:
- 親と幼い子供による象徴的な数字ジェスチャーの使用頻度と文脈を調査する.
- 親と子供の二重関係における数字の言葉と数字のジェスチャーの使用の関係を調査する.
- 早期のジェスチャーの使用が 後のカーディナル数の知識を予測するかどうかを判断する.
主な方法:
- 14~58ヶ月の子供とその両親を観察した 長期的,自然主義的な家庭での研究です
- 収集されたデータは 象徴的な数字のジェスチャーと数字の言葉の使用に焦点を当てました
- 親と子供のジェスチャーの使用は,エンティティの存在または欠如に関連して分析されました.
主要な成果:
- 象徴的な数字のジェスチャーは 子供と親の両方によって 数字よりも少ない頻度で使われました
- 子供は数字のジェスチャーで 両親は数字の言葉を使いました
- この2つのグループでは 存在していないものに対して ジェスチャーを用いており 存在しているものに対して 言葉を用いており 子供の初期のジェスチャーは 両親のジェスチャーを反映していましたが 後期の数字の知識は 予想できませんでした
結論:
- 親と子供の象徴的な数字のジェスチャーの使用は,数字の言葉の使用よりも少ない.
- ジェスチャーや言葉の使用の文脈は異なるもので,ジェスチャーは不在のアイテムを好む.
- 初期の親や子供の数字のジェスチャー使用は,後のカーディナル数字の知識の予測要因ではないようです.

The sensorimotor stage, the initial phase of Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, spans the first two years of a child's life. During this period, infants actively engage with their surroundings, building cognitive awareness through direct interaction with the world. This interaction is primarily based on sensory perception and motor actions, allowing infants to gradually understand basic physical properties and predict how objects interact within their environment.

01:22Language Development

Children master language quickly and with relative ease, supported by both biological predisposition and reinforcement. B. F. Skinner (1957) proposed that language is learned through reinforcement, while Noam Chomsky (1965) argued that language acquisition mechanisms are biologically determined.
The critical period for language acquisition suggests that the ability to acquire language is at its peak early in life. As people age, this proficiency decreases. Language development begins very...

224
The preoperational stage, the second of Jean Piaget's four stages of cognitive development, spans approximately ages 2 to 7 and is characterized by the emergence of symbolic thinking. During this stage, children use language, images, and symbols to represent objects and concepts, enabling them to engage in imaginative and pretend play. This symbolic thinking supports children's ability to perform make-believe actions, such as imagining a broom as a horse or their hand as a phone, blending...

01:21The Nativist Approach
127
The nativist approach to infant cognitive development proposes that infants are born with inherent knowledge structures that allow them to interpret the world almost immediately. This perspective contrasts with earlier developmental theories, such as those proposed by Jean Piaget, which emphasized a more gradual acquisition of cognitive abilities through interaction with the environment. One key concept in this approach is object permanence — the understanding that objects continue to...

01:30Socioemotional Development during Infancy
115
Socio-emotional development in infancy is primarily shaped by early emotional responses and social connections, with temperament playing a central role. Temperament refers to the consistent patterns in an individual's emotional and behavioral responses, observable even in infancy. By examining temperament, researchers can better understand an infant's unique ways of interacting with the world, influencing subsequent personality and socio-emotional growth.

02:30Naturalistic Observations

If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...
