The purpose of this paper is to use the habituation technique in young infants to evaluate one hypothesis derived from Piaget’s theory of cognitive development. I will compare 5-months olds in a task that involves possible and impossible outcomes. Piaget’s theory specifies the cognitive competencies of children of this age. 1a. In the sensorimotor stage, children from birth to age 2 familiarize themselves with the world through means of sensory interaction, such as hearing, looking, grasping and…

are three theories that explain the development of cognition in childhood. The first one is Piaget’s theory, Piaget believed that children are scientists since they control their own information from experimenting the world and they learn things on their own without the need of help from others. The second one is Vygotsky’s theory, Vygotsky believed that cognitive development comes from social interactions and guided learning within the zone of proximal development. Vygotsky stresses social and…

aspects of child development and learning; physical, emotional, social and cognitive- however Alfrey (2003) makes an important point being that all four of the stages are inter-related, meaning each aspect of development works alongside each other. Jean Piaget is a well-known child psychologist that Alfrey mentions within chapter one of her book, Piaget provided a foundation of research that is still widely used today.

According to Jean Piaget, a well-known psychologist, children grow through a chain of four serious stages of cognitive development. Through observations he made of children, Piaget established a theory of knowledgeable development that included four distinct stages: the sensorimotor stage, from birth to the age 2, the preoperational stage, from age 2 to about the age of 7 and the concrete operational stage, ranging from age 7 to 11. The last stage he established was the formal operational stage,…
