How does poverty affect cognitive development?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There would only be an impact on the IQ if the family was so poor that the kids would not be fed enough or not enough nutrition or there would be physical changes in the brain. There are places like that on this planet of course and famine is one reason that can happen. If you live in a poor neighborhood with a bad school they might not realize how smart you are but the basic IQ is already there and can not be changed.

Behavior is influenced by many things such as parents, siblings, environment etc. This is the same regardless of where you live, rich or poor. Good behavior can be taught to anyone and is not linked to money. If the child however live in a environment where they feel they have no choice than to join a gang for survival for instance that would change his behavior because before that he probably did not dream about hurting someone and now he has to. If there are no jobs and people around you basically have given up that will also have an impact.

What is the piagetian approach to cognitive development?

Asked by Wiki User

Unlike the behavioral approach, the piagetian approach focuses on the internal mental process. Under this approach, child development is subject to biological maturation and not environmental influences as believed by behaviorists. The approach also deals with development as children having to go through a process of cognitive development which is a defined order of stages.

How is object permanence important in cognitive development?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Recognition of object permanence, as an infant's head will follow a ball as it rolls behind an obstacle and 'look' for it when it does not roll out as 'expected', indicates a cognitive stage capable of hypothesis-building: where did the ball go?

The idea is that at a certain point, the child moves from object impermanence (when he can't see something it no longer exists for him) to object permanence (even when something is not present, it still exists). That mental transition for a child affects a lot of things, such as remembering where a favored toy was left.
