As the children's brains and bodies mature, they use the experience to build more sophisticated and a correct mental model of the world. Piaget also…

Moreover, schema is a cognitive framework that place a concept into categories and…

I have known Sarah all my life, she is my sister. Based on Sarah’s age, I observed to see if she fell into Piaget’s Preoperational Stage of Cognitive Development.

Does Sarah problem solve or learn through creative play? Does Sarah have an egocentric viewpoint? Can Sarah tell that quantity stays the same, even…

Piaget came to conclusion that these incorrect answers revealed key differences between the thinking of children and adults. In 1936 Jean Piaget was the first psychologist to make systematic study…

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.
