I referenced Bob's lack of prior knowledge to Piaget. Let me explain. Piaget was a developmental behaviorist who did research on children. His theory of developmental learning says that children build on past learned experiences to learn new information. For example, if they are building a house out of blocks, they use knowledge learned from seeing pictures, watching TV, and/or building a house out of blocks or Lego's with an adult previously. New information is learned by thinking about "what else can be added", "how can the structure be sturdier". Knowledge is gained this way throughout a lifetime.
Yesterday, Bob was trying to figure out how to lower the bed with the buttons on the guardrails. He couldn't figure it out, just yet, because any prior knowledge that was learned in this "category" has been either lost or can't be retrieved yet. It will need to be relearned.
So, there...An example of Piaget's theory in the making.
Bob is moving right along. We played UNO. He won two hands. I won two hands. I play like a normally would. He can strategically play cards that places him in the "winners" circle.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
"Father God, today I choose to give You thanks. Thank You for loving me. Thank You for setting me free. Thank You for the gift of Your Son, Jesus! I know You have a good plan for me. Thank You for leading and guiding me and for keeping me close to You all the days of my life. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
