What is conservation? • Describe this concept in your own words • Example? • What is the difference between a 4 year old vs. 7 year old?

• Piaget’s Stage/ etapa 3: Concrete Operational Thought • Periodo de las operaciones concretas (se extiende desde los 7 años hasta los 11 años).

Conservation/Conservación • The concept that certain basic properties of an object remain the same even when a transformation changes the physical appearance is mastered by 7; • El concepto que propiedades básicos de un objeto siguen igual, aunque la apariencia cambia, es entendido por el niño de 7 años • Example of a lack of conservation (child under 7 y/o): http: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=GLj 0 IZFLKvg 2 min 16 sec

• Thinking becomes decentered: multiple aspects of a problem/situation/ task… aspectos múltiples se consideran al mismo tiempo • Reversibility (en orden inverso) emerges… • Class inclusion emerges: the understanding that objects can be classified in different ways and at different levels…poder entender que objetos se pueden clasificar a varios niveles o categorías (i. e. dinosaurio )

• Seriation emerges: the ability to order a set of items quantitatively (by size, weight, or length)… • La habilidad de poner objetos en orden (físicamente), usando el tamaño, peso, o cantidad). • http: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=Zb_Vl.

Memory • Working memory / Memoria Trabajadora -information that a child is currently processing; usually easily retrievable for a task at hand…El procesamiento de información que un niño hace en el momento que es exponido a la informacion. • Long term memory / Memoria a largo plazo- information that is never forgotten, which is stored in the brain for a long period of time…información es permanente.

4 aspects of long term memory (Memoria a largo plazo): 1) Encoding/ Codificar- a child forms a mental representation of information they are exposed to. 2) Storage/Almacenamiento- a child categorizes & places content/information into long term memory. 3) Accessing/Tener acceso- when a child tries to find, the mental representation (information) among their mental categories. 4) Retrieval/ Recuperar- when a child activates & is able to use their stored information, at a specific time.
