thinking
Thinking Overview
feature
Generalization: It is to extract the common characteristics and laws of the same type of things and summarize them
Indirectness: refers to people’s indirect understanding of objective things with the help of certain media and knowledge and experience.
Thinking is the reorganization of experience
type
Action thinking, image thinking and abstract thinking
Economic thinking and theoretical thinking
Intuitive thinking and analytical thinking
Convergent thinking and divergent thinking
Conventional thinking and creative thinking
process
Analysis: refers to the cognitive decomposition of the whole thing into its various parts, individual characteristics or individual aspects.
Synthesis: refers to the cognitive combination of various parts or different characteristics or aspects of things.
Comparison: refers to the cognitive comparison of individual parts, aspects or characteristics of objects and phenomena to determine the commonalities, differences and connections between the objects being compared.
Concrete: It is to return the concepts, principles and theories obtained through abstract generalization to reality in order to deepen and broaden the understanding of various things.
Abstraction: It is a thinking process that cognitively extracts the essential characteristics of similar things and discards non-essential characteristics.
Generalization: It is the thinking process of cognitively synthesizing the essential characteristics of similar things and extending them to other similar things.
problem solved
Concept: It is a goal-oriented cognitive activity
Resources and skills for children's problem-solving development: information processing capacity, strategies, mental representation of problem space, scientific reasoning, and professional knowledge
basic unit of thinking
Representation: A mental feature with picture-like characteristics that has the effect of seeming to see real objects
Concept: It is an idea that represents a type of thing and is an important tool for thinking.
Language: includes words, symbols, and rules for connecting words or symbols for thinking and communicating
The origin and development of thinking
The four stages of children’s thinking development
Sensory motor stage (birth-2 years old)
Preoperational stage (2-7 years old)
Concrete operational stage (7-11 years old)
Formal operation stage (after 11 years old)
Piaget's theory
Basic characteristics of children’s thinking development
Characteristics: Gradually transition from thinking based on concrete images to thinking based on abstract logical thinking
Performance
There is a process of transition from concrete image thinking to abstract logical thinking.
There is a critical age for the development of primary school children’s thinking, which is the age when qualitative changes occur in thinking development.
Primary school children gradually possess the complete structure of human thinking
Purpose: According to the task of thinking, plan and foresee the development of things and guide thinking to approach until the goal is achieved
Self-monitoring: self-awareness of thinking activities
Materials: objects they rely on in their thought processes
Process: the process by which they perform operational activities on thinking materials in their minds
Unbalanced thinking development of primary school children
Characteristics of the development of thinking quality in primary school children
Profundity
Expression: grasp the essence and laws of things through phenomena and external forms, and foresee the development of things
For example: When it comes to understanding the concept of water, lower grade students tend to understand intuitively and externally. Senior students can appreciate the essential characteristics
flexibility
Performance
Flexible thinking starting point
Flexible thinking process
Strong ability to generalize and migrate
Good at combination analysis
Thinking performance of primary school children
The number of solutions to one problem with multiple solutions is increasing
The sophistication of flexible problem solving is increasing
Children's combinatorial analysis skills continue to improve
Agility
Concept: Refers to the speed of the thinking process
Performance: As the computing speed continues to increase, the differentiation of correct and rapid levels becomes more and more obvious.
originality
Concept: refers to the expression of independence, divergence and novelty of thinking activities
Performance
The processing of concrete image materials has evolved to the processing of abstract materials of words.
Primary school children’s transition from imitation to semi-independence and then to originality
memory
basic process
Memorization: the beginning of the memory process, directly affects the effect of memory
Maintenance: the process of strengthening and consolidating the memorized content
Recognition or recall: the reproduction of memorized content and the methods and means of testing the memory effect
interconnected, mutually restrictive
Reduction means forgetting
Pattern: The time is fast at first and then slow, the quantity is first more and then less, and gradually becomes gentle.
reason
Amnesia theory: memories fade over time
Interference theory: mutual interference between memory traces
Proactive inhibition: Reading in the morning is more effective, without the influence of proactive inhibition
Retrophotographic suppression: The effect of reading before going to bed at night is good without the influence of retrophotographic suppression.
Suppression theory: caused by the suppression of emotions or motivations
I was nervous about the exam and couldn’t remember the familiar content, but I remembered it after the exam.
Appearance
Definition: An image of something that has been experienced in the past that is stored in the mind
Features
Imageability: There is a certain degree of ambiguity, clarity, and lack of completeness
Generality: the common characteristics of a class of things
Classification
According to the content of memory
Image memory: the image of the perceived thing is the content, which is highly intuitive.
Emotional memory: memory with experienced emotions as content
Action memory: Taking the operational behaviors experienced in the past as the content, maintaining the coherence and accuracy of actions
Verbal-logical memory: content in the form of concepts, propositions, theorems, etc.
According to the memory retention time
Instantaneous memory: the short-term retention of human stimulation in the sensory channel, usually only a few seconds, with infinite capacity
Short-term memory: memory held within one minute, limited capacity
Long-term memory: memory that can be retained for more than one minute and has a large retention capacity. Someone who has a good memory refers to long-term memory.
According to whether there is conscious control
explicit memory
implicit memory
Features
Children's meaning memory is getting stronger and stronger, gradually surpassing mechanical memory
Lower grade primary school students mainly adopt mechanical memory
Primary school students in middle and high grades mostly use meaning memory methods
Children's intentional memory gradually develops and becomes more and more dominant
The ability of unintentional memory and intentional memory increases with age, and intentional memory grows faster.
Unintentional memory is dominant in preschool, and intentional memory is dominant in elementary school.
Concrete image memory is better than verbal memory, and verbal memory is also developing
Lower grade primary school students have better concrete image memory than verbal memory
The development of verbal memory is closely linked to the development of thinking
strategy development
Rehearsal: Repeating information so many times that it is retained
No memory strategies in preschool
Gradually learn to use effectively during the primary semester
Hands-on
The poor memory effect is related to the fact that he does not move his eyes or move his hands.
effect material
Skill operation category
Experimental operations
Drawing operation class
Copying operation class
source
Try: Take apart the toy instrument and assemble it
School training: Listen to what the teacher says, change it, copy it, and copy it repeatedly to memorize new words to deepen your impression.
Organization: sort out the new information learned and build its internal connections
