does causal reasoning in children develop in stages?

yes, children learns from their atmosphere mostly causal reasoning comes in stages some may have after some extra time or some may have quicker because it depends on their culture, atmosphere, & grooming.

They do understand the word, but they need to know the reason behind it.  They learn by doing and by asking the most irritating question:  "why?"  \n\nSometimes they choose to test your limits by ignoring your answer.  Will you follow through on your discipline methods?  What happens when I'm told no but do it anyway?  These are all learning times for children.  They are learning that there are consequences for their actions.  \n\nMany times children are not misbehaving, but are using the situation to learn.

There are several aspects in the development of a child and i guess the answer varies based on that\n\nIntellectual aspects: Some people learn better alone and some in groups, so lack of good peer relationships might hamper a child learning if its a group learner.\n\nScoial aspects: lack of long lasting and meaningful peer relationships might lead to socila wihdrwal in adult years. But then again there is always a possibility that the child was introverted to begin with.\n\nSelf identity and self esteem: This is unfortunately a major influence. \nAlthough i think the human animal is very resilient and events in childhood need not necassarily permanently influnce the life of a person.\n\n-Ravi

Our ability to reason... to come up with ideas and inventions, to analyze, to think!

Depends on the parent and the child.  I would say that parents have usually lived more years than their kids, so the possibility that they may have learned more does exist - whether they have availed themselves of that possibility is another issue altogether.

Over everything else, our brains are pattern recoginition machines.  They are very, very good at filling in blanks -- even if they shouldn't.  The usefulness of this comes when coupled with our reasoning ability to figure out if things are important illusions, i.e. if the sabre-toothed tiger went around that side of the rock, he didn't just disappear, he's probably also coming out on the other side... but he can't see me right now either.

Yes.\n\nAs a matter of fact, there is a condition where people are born with the inability to learn words or symbology. However, their concepts are intact. For example, such a person will never, ever, no matter how many times you tell them, associate the word "scissors" with the things that cut, but if they want to cut a piece of paper, they will go straight to the drawer, get out the scissors, and use them to cut the paper. They have full understanding of what scissors are, but merely lack the ability to attach a word to it.\n\nOf course, such a person wouldn't be using a dictionary. But, you can conceptualize a person who has normal language abilities, but whose family always said, "if you don't know a word, look it up in that big blue book under the coffee table," and just never heard the word "dictionary." Or they may have always called it a "lexicon." \n\nHave you ever looked up the word "lexicon?" How about synonyms for "thesaurus?"

I agree that language development is due mainly to the parents, but sometimes the kid is just smart.  A combination of the two is usually the answer.

Yes it does, quite often kids can help parents learn how to use new technological gizmos that are becoming common place now but were hardly things they used...e.g. ipods\n\nPlus knowledge takes quantum leaps from better research and new technology. So it would make sense that students or grads would be able to educate their parents on new thinking...

For some states the reasoning is that children 12 and under will not understand the wrongness of their actions.  It becomes borderline for 13-15 whereas the reasoning is by 16 and above children should have a good sense of right and wrong.  This goes back to the concept of doli incapax, or incapable of mischief.  I'll agree that children can understand that the crime they commit is wrong and that's why most states have procedures for trying children as adults even very young children if it can be proven that they knew what they did was wrong.

What's the difference?\n\nDidn't the brain which engages in rational decision making also evolve?

Astrophysics is beyond anyone who has not developed abstract reasoning. This ability rarely develops prior to age 11 or 12, if it develops at all. Preschoolers have problems even understanding what a planet is. If an idea has little to do with their concrete surroundings, it's not likely to sink in. Rather than astrophysics, go back to Piaget yourself, and learn something about child development and the progression of reasoning.

yes,\nThe more quicker they mind starts to establish, the more they have good mind and more independant they will be. and more advance the knowlegde will be.\nThe more you use brain the more learn it.\nChild learning is very very very important.

I don't know if i would be much help to you but i am a psychologist for intellectually delayed children and the general steps is obviously to first find the cause of the delay as you probably know there are numerous - then using the IPA; the symbols are divided into three categories: letters, diacritics, and suprasegmentals (symbols that indicate such things as the tone and inflection of a spoken utterance). These categories are then divided into smaller sections. For example, letters are divided into vowels and consonants, and diacritics and suprasegmentals are divided according to whether they indicate articulation, phonation, tone, intonation, or stress.\nSo starting from the cause and working with the child slowly until they grasp every step of the IPA is usually the best way
