The young adult’s developmental pathway is a stage of life that includes the challenges of independence, the reward for achievement, and the endurance of crises (Nagy, 2013, p. 422.) This essay will describe and discuss the physical, cognitive and psychosocial characteristics of the young adulthood lifespan stage. Two theorists that relate their developmental research to this life span, Erikson and Piaget, are described and the discussion of two health related behaviours applicable to the…

even hanging around people from a different place than you. Language and thought connects because thought is what helps to form language. There are many psychologists who have their own theories about how language is learned and adapted as you age. Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky, and Steven Pinker are three who all believe in cognitive development, but have variations in how language is developed. The way we grow up is how we learn our most known language, through family and surroundings, we get a…

Children especially babies often do things that are funny or silly or make people laugh but their actions are not only for people’s entertainment as they put their feet in their mouths, they are developing, learning and changing. When observing an infant of seven months one can learn a great deal about their development and how complex each motion and action is. I observed several key concepts of the physical, cognitive, psycho-social and psycho-emotional development of an infant. Each of these…

The sensorimotor stage is so immense; psychologist Jean Piaget separated it into six substages. For this research study, I will briefly discuss the fourth, fifth, and sixth substage, and give insight on specific behavior and development of object permanence. Additionally, I will describe my observations in detail and indicate whether they support Piaget’s theory. In the fourth substage, a baby’s behavioral process evolves, for instance inadvertent actions become premeditated, furthermore…

As children grow older, they go through a process labeled as child development. When a child develops throughout his or her life, they hit milestones referred to as developmental stages. With childhood development, comes theories of development that provide a framework for thinking about human growth, development, and learning. The Six-Substages of the Sensorimotor stage are characterized by a general cognitive structure that affects all of the child 's thinking. Development from one stage to…

Jean Piaget developed a theory that children’s thought processes differ from adults. He proved this theory through detailed observations of the development of infants and children. This theory differed from others because it proposed discrete stages of maturation. These stages that Piaget emphasizes demonstrates that there are major differences between the mind of a 3-year-old and of a 9-year-old. According to Piaget’s theory, a 3-year-old is in the preoperational stage. This stage is filled…

Piaget and Vygotsky have both created a theory of cognitive development. Certain aspects of the theory are similar, while other aspects are completely different. They both centered their thoughts and knowledge on the cognitive development, but both offered different views, options, and studies on the subject matter. Piaget developed four stages of cognitive development. These stages include the sensorimotor stage, the preoperational stage, concrete operations stage, and formal operations…

The thinking patterns of a three-year-old preschooler vary drastically from the thinking patterns of a nine-year-old student. This comes to no surprise if you follow Piaget’s stages of cognitive thinking, it becomes obvious as to why there would be such an apparent difference between the two thinking styles. What is Piaget’s theory of cognitive development? Well, Piaget believed, based on observations that children tend to form mental concepts, or schemes, as they experience new situations.…

development are closely related, with growth in one area influencing other domains (Gordon & Browne, 2014). This essay is going to explain how cognitive development and physical development occur and how they contribute to holistic development. According to Jean Piaget’s Cognitive development theory, children ages 0 to 2 are at the period of Sensorimotor, they start to understand the physical…
