https://www.britannica.com/biography/Jean-Piaget. Jean Piaget studied zoology at the University of Neuchatel. It wasn’t until he after Piaget received his doctorate that he became interested in psychology. He later on traveled to Zurich, where he studied under Carl Jung and Eugene Bleuler. Jean Piaget continued his studies when he moved to Paris. While living in Paris Piaget devised and conducted reading tests to school children(https://www.britannica.com/biography/Jean-Piaget).

When referring to Autism today, many people use the term (ASD) Autism Spectrum Disorder. ASD is defined as a brain disorder resulting in restricted repetitive behaviors, interests, activities, and social-communication challenges. Also, it is defined as a developmental issue that causes significant behavioral, social and communication challenges. This caught my interest, because in class we discuss a lot about learned behaviors, as well as attention deficits. And I wanted to understand what…

Grandma’s advice: My thoughts on “grandma’s advice” is that it should not automatically be dismissed as it does have some basis of experience and what was known in society during their generation. Although, overtime information does seem to change, but no matter the change, sometimes good old fashioned cultural remedies can do just fine. Research: Why is it important to utilize developmental theory to explain children's development? The most important reason we should utilize developmental…

Image #1: Physical Developmental Domain The developmental domain represented in this image is the physical development domain. This is evident to me because the image shows children participating in a physical activity. Another thing that stands out to me is the different ways each child is using the hula hoops in the movement and expressions they have. To me is seemed that some are grasping the concepts faster than others, leading me to believe that the each child is experiencing their physical…

For this experiment, I interviewed a six year old female named Destiny. For the first assessment we read Aesop’s The Wolf & the Crane, where the wolf tricks the crane into helping him in promises of a reward and then informs her that her reward was letting her live after helping him. I asked Destiny what she thought the story meant (what they were trying to say) and she responded with a concrete operational response such as “the wolf lied to the crane because he didn’t give her a reward like he…

Developmental psychology is a branch in psychology that primarily focuses on the study of behavioral changes in people as they get older. Traditionally, the term has been used precisely to refer to the development of children. However, developmental psychologists study people of all ages. They study this behavior from before birth until death or old age. Researchers can use their skills to the treatment of children with psychological disorders, the investigation of psychological issues that…

I had the pleasure to interview two children for this interview assignment project. I interviewed my neighbor Gaby, who is 11 years old and my other neighbor Collin, who is 8 years old. Piaget acknowledged that some children may pass through the stages at different ages than the averages noted above and that some children may show characteristics of more than one stage at a given time (Koocher). After interviewing these two I believe this quote is a true statement because Gaby is 3 years older…

Every day is a new day to learn, incorporate, examine, and decode information. The cognitive development skills acquired from birth to adolescence help individual’s connect new information, to challenges, and setbacks. Two child development theorists, Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky, have developed theories based on learning and development together with speech and thought, they examined the basic changes that influence the process of learning through thinking and reasoning between situations that…

Chapter three starts off describing the modern evolutionary perspectives on human development. Piaget cognitive development theory was considered to be the “new look” during the 70’s (Shaffer, 2009). Since then, new theories have emerged and even though some of those theories focus on the development of humans through biological or environmental repercussions all the theories support Piaget in two areas, and they are “developing persons are active rather than passive beings, and development…

One historical figure I believed influenced the early childhood field was Fredrick Froebel. He was named the father of Kindergarten (Gordon, Browne 2017). He developed the first gifts for children (Gordon, Browne 2017). These gifts were the tools children used to manipulate on their own. Many of Froebel’s gifts are used today. Frobel’s quote, play is the highest expression of human development in childhood (Gordon, Browne 2017). Really resonates the point that children are consistently…
