Learning, imitative

Learning, organizational

Learning, instructed

Current Definition
With instructed learning, a 4 year old child treats others as agents who hold beliefs. This goes beyond the intersubjectivity of imitative learning and allows the child to, for instance try to deceive someone into accepting false beliefs. By 6 years old, this can develop into collaborative stage of cultural learning in which a child can be more reflective about people having beliefs about other people's beliefs. At this stage, a child is aware of other people's beliefs about her and she develops language about mental states, including her own. This stage facilitates learning beyond simple scaffolded instruction, in which a teacher simplifies a problem so that the child can solve it. With instructed learning, the child can learn about the teacher's understanding and can compare that to her own beliefs. This leads to performance monitoring, metacognitive strategies and self-regulating speech in which the child reflects on her own beliefs, learning and potential expression.
