subject: Children's Learning Momentum Is Higher Than We Imagined [print this page] Desire to explain
The topic on pre-school children and adults in dialogue to seek an interpretation has jointly carried out by Brandi Fraser, researcher at the Department of Psychology in The University of Hawaii, along with researchers in the University of Michigan. The subject put the focus on pres-school children's curiosity, particularly understand their behavior of always asking "why". Fraser have designed two sets of experiments for the 2-year-old to 5-year-olds children to analyze the issues raised children, adults' answer and the different feedback of children after hearing the answer. The study found that children's thirst for knowledge is stronger than people imagine. They can show their satisfaction towards the perfect answers and dissatisfied to the perfunctory answers. As usual, they often repeat a question until the perfect answers given. the words in Fraser reports are quoted on Fun Science Site, which displays that from the kids began to ask 'why', they ask questions is to be interpreted.
Curious about learning
Before the middle of the 20th century, scholars believed that child can only be associated with cognition among things, until the seven-year-old or eight-year-old, they can tell what are the causes and results. Obviously, the new study has shown that this is not the case. Children from the two-year-old began to learn the world around them actively, at 3 year old, they are able to acknowledge causation. In the first experiment, the researchers recorded the daily dialogues from two-year-old to 4-year-old children with their parents, brothers and sisters and guests every day. More than 3100 times of "Why" can found from the more than 580 records such as "Why is my stomach so much big?" "Why do we turn off the lights?" and "why a snake has no ears but can hear the sound". According to the research, it the answers given by parents don't satisfy the kids, they would repeat the question again and again until the perfect answers which they consider are given. However, even adult answered their children's questions seriously, the children are also likely to ask more questions, Research shows that the chance of being asked again after satisfactory answer given is three times than hasty answers.
All in all, children's learning momentum is higher than we imagined.
