Along with Bronfenbrenner, one of the other contributing theorist in Human Development is Piaget. Throughout much of the story, Dave was in the concrete operational period. This period “occurs between the ages of seven and twelve, which is characterized by the active, and appropriate use of logic” (Feldman, 2015, Chapter 5). An example of this from the book is the fact that Dave used logic to figure out when was going got be a good day or a bad day for him depending on the way his mother dressed…

Jean Piaget’s theory is very interesting. The cognitive development is all the mental activities. The thinking, knowing, remembering, and communicating. Jeans studies made him believe that a child’s mind grows in stages. The older we get the more our brains develop. Our intellectual progression has to do with all of our experiences we have in our life time. We have schemas as out brain is maturing. Where we have experiences where we use and adjust to these schemas. They change a lot the older we…

Mikayla Prettyman Reflection 6 Piaget's Theory In piaget's theory there are four stages of cognitive development that the brain goes through from birth to adulthood. The four stages are sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational. The first stage sensorimotor is from birth to about the age of 2. Babies take in the world through their senses which is hearing, touching, mouthing, and grasping. Young babies live in the present “out of sight out of mind”. If you show a…

Joan Piaget was the man who helped a lot to the world of psychology and sociology. One of the most important things that he made was to create the fact that the cognitive processes of kids are not only undeveloped versions of that of an adult, but that they have their own system. Piaget derive that there are four different stages in the child cognitive development of children. These four stages are: 1-Sensory Motor Stage that occurs in kids from births to two years old. 2-Preoperational that…

Vygotsky placed a great deal of importance on the position played by culture in an infant’s development. He accepted that infants were born with established mental abilities like the capacity to focus on specific items. However, according to his theory, infants don 't have the capacity to do thing such as problem solving. Infants are able to learn through guided learning from more intelligent people. One of the key ideas of Vygotsky 's theory is the zone of proximal development. This is the…

An interview is a way of asking open-ended questions to the intended interviewee. The goal is to gain a better understanding of the person, as the person gains an insight of what he or she is being interviewed about.

All three were interviewed and asked similar questions. The questions asked were related to…

INTRODUCTION This field study was done on three children who are of different ages and in different stages of their lives. In this paper you will see where each child lands in Piaget’s stages of Cognitive Development during the tasks presented before them. Jean Piaget had four different stages of Cognitive Development; Sensorimotor, Preoperational, Concrete Operational, and Formal Operational. While giving the tasks to the children in this case study it was clear at which stage or stages each…

How children development cognitively or how thinking develops in children is one of the subjects that Piaget study. He came up with a theory of cognitive development that stated that there are four key milestones in cognitive developments which he divided into four stages. In each stage there is different actions that children develop and until a person develops these skills, they are stuck in this stage according to Piaget. The four stages are sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational,…
