Jean Piaget
“Piaget thought that children thing differently to adults. He believed that the way children think and learn is governed by their age and stage of cognitive development, because learning is based on experiences they build on as they become older. As children’s experiences change, they adapt their beliefs. For example, a child who only ever sees green apples will believe that all apples are green. Children need to extend their experiences in order to extend their learning. They will eventually take ownership of this themselves so that they can think about experiences that they have not yet developed.”
