From the author
This editable two-page Word worksheet accompanies Crash Course Psychology Episode 18, The Growth of Knowledge. Fifteen questions address cognitive development, Piaget’s concepts and first three stages, criticisms of his model and Vygotsky’s alternative.
A separate two-page Word key gives written responses. Both files link to the external episode. Preview access, then use the questions during viewing and for individual or small-group discussion.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Define cognitive development, schemas, assimilation, accommodation, and cognitive equilibrium
Describe Piaget's sensorimotor, preoperational, and concrete operational stages with their age ranges and hallmarks
Explain how egocentrism, animism, and centration shape preoperational thinking
Teaching tips
Preview the fifteen questions before pressing play so students listen for the stage names and vocabulary as the episode runs
Pause after the preoperational segment — questions 9 through 13 form a five-question cluster on that topic
Because both files are editable Word documents, trim or reword questions to fit a shorter class period before printing
Skills covered
Psychology vocabulary — students define schemas, object permanence, egocentrism, animism, centration, and theory of mind from the episode.
Stage-theory comprehension — questions require the age spans and distinguishing features of Piaget's first three stages.
Note-taking from video — fifteen ordered questions structure active listening across the episode.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
Do the questions follow the episode's order?
Yes — they run from the definition of cognitive development through Piaget's biography and vocabulary, then stage by stage (sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational), ending with the critiques presented late in the episode, so students can answer as they watch.
How detailed is the teacher key?
Every answer is a full written sentence or short paragraph — for example, the preoperational-stage entry gives the age span (about two to six or seven), names egocentrism as its hallmark, and later entries spell out centration and Vygotsky's alternative — so it doubles as a study summary of the episode.
