Assignment:

Research on the ability to recall early childhood events indicates that most adults:

• Do not recall events that occured before age 3 probably because of the emotional nature of the content
• I have numerous vivid memories of events that occurred before age 3 particularly emotional events such as birthdays or scary events such as injuries
• do not recall events that occured before age 3 possibly because the events were stored nonverbally and are difficult to retrieve explicitly
• do not recall events that occur before age 3 because very young children lack long-term memory capacity

One of the most important differences between vygotsky's and piaget's views of cognitive development is that Vygotsky:

1. Viewed the children as having a passive role in his or her own development while piaget viewed the child is having an active role in his or her development
2. focused less on self initiated discovery and more on the social contributions to cognitive growth
3. focused less on social contributions to cognitive growth and more on self initiated discovery
4. viewed the child is having an active role in his or her development while piaget viewed the child is having a passive role in his or her own development

When the researcher, Ceci conducted interviews with three to six year old children over an 11 week. About events that might happen to them what were the findings?

1. children naturally tend to have false memories of events because they are imaginative
2. false memories of events are relatively easy to put into children's young minds
3. false memories of events are very difficult to put into young children's minds
4. children can be convicted of the truth a false memories but only for a short period of time
