IV. Reading Comprehension(每題1.25分)All major theories of child psychology state that children undergo a major change between the agesof five and seven. In classical learning theory, this is a time when the simplest forms of learning giveway to learning that involves more complex mental processes. According to psychologist Jean Piaget,the period from five to seven years old is a transition to operational thought, when children are able tomove beyond using only their senses toward using a new set of rational-thinking skills. Because severalcognitive changes occur in children between ages five and seven, this period is called the five-sevenshift. The shift is biological in nature and a basically adult pattern. The five-seven shift involves manyphysical changes, such as the loss of “baby teeth” and an increase in the rates of height acquired andweight gained.By the time they are five years old, children can understand and use symbols. They have developedthe ability to use words, gestures, and pictures to stand for “real-life” objects, and they are skilled indeploying various symbol systems, such as language or drawing. However, a five-year-old child is ableto focus attention on only one quality or an object at a time, such as the object’s size or shape. The use ofsymbolization continues to evolve, reaching a peak around the age of seven or eight, when childrenbecome capable of concrete operations. When this happens, they can solve problems by using rationalthought to make generalizations from their own experience.
