Theorists

Hi, im doing 303 and have been given some scenario's that i have to link to theorists. I've read all about the theories but can't quite match them confidently. If i write the scenario's and the answers i think are right, would someone please tell me if im on the right track?

1) A child watches another child playing in sand and then joins in - bandura?
2) Staff encourage older children to help younger children - Vygotsky?
3) A child is bitten by a dog, now she has to hold mums hand whenever she sees a dog - Piaget?
4) 3 children are doing a counting activity with small bricks. They are piling them and counting them as they take some away - NO IDEA HELP!!!!!

I forgot to mension that the choice of theorist are the ones above plus
Skinner
bruner
freud

Any help would be great. thanx.

Hi

I have just had a similar piece of work back from my tutor. I think that you can probably apply different theorists to each case - depending on your perception of their theories. Anyway, here are the answers I would give:

1: Vygotsky
2: Bruner
3: Pavlov
4: Piaget

Hope this helps

thanks for your veiws. its really confussing. Even though i've read their therories, it's hard to link them to current practice. Thanks again, it makes sence now!
