As children develop, certain milestones are developed. Based on Jean Piaget these milestones are called stages. In Piaget theory, there are four stages; Sensorimotor Stage, Preoperational Stage, Concrete Operational Stage and the Formal Operational Stage. The children involved in the Zoo study would be in the Preoperational and the Concrete Operational stage; recognizing children does not always meet each stage at the same time. Piaget Theory explains that children will gravitate to what…

Piaget, a man of the high regard in the developmental word. He devoted his life to studying how children grow and develop. In what stages different habits and traits are expressed and what to call these stages. Piaget’s theory is that a child develops by learning through their environment, and once they meet the max of one stage they directly move to the next. To test these (however biased the test were) he came up with a series of experiments to show. I ran these test and here are my findings.…

Infancy, “early childhood,” and “a beginning or early period of existence,” a time of vivid transformation in the physical body and cognitive mind, including that of emotional attachment and one’s first social interactions (Infancy). A period of the origins of life which babyhood and toddlerhood unfold from a child’s birth through two years (Berk, 2010, p. 6). As a scholar in the field of human development, researching a subject and evaluating an authentic encounter with the said subject are two…

development. Childhood development is the growth of a human from birth to 17 years old. Several psychologists research the process of childhood and conclude their own ideas on the subject. Jean Piaget, Eric Erickson, and Lawrence Kohlberg are three psychologists who had similar and different views on children's advancement. Jean Piaget was a psychologist who concluded that people developed by connecting to life with actions. He went into more detail about his theory by having steps. There are…

According to Piaget, a child’s mind develops throughout the course of four stages in their earlier years of life. Piaget believed that children establish their understandings of the world by actually experiencing it. He also believed that nature and nurture were both valuable factors in a child’s cognitive growth, but he presumed that it happened in different stages rather than a continuous progression of growth. Piaget separated cognitive development into four stages. The first stage, from…

A child’s abilities associated with memory, reasoning, problem solving and thinking are all a part of their cognitive development. Jean Paget, created an idea that children go through four steps of cognitive development. Up until a child reaches the age of two they are learning through their senses, reflexes and the way the manipulate materials. (Mooney, 2013 p.81) It is said that young children are just trying to find understanding in the world around them. Toddlers like to have a routine,…

Despite being flawed, Piaget made exceptional contributions to the outlook we have on sensorimotor stages. He outdid those of his time, as most brilliant people who make history do, and his research paved an outline for others to do additional research on. Without the fundamentals of Piaget’s theories we may not have built upon the knowledge of these stages quite as quickly nor as proficiently. The stages of development Piaget recognized led to progression in the way we educate children, and led…

‘how children learn’. Firstly, one of the most influential theories of how children learn in today’s education system is constructivism which has been accepted as a model of children’s cognitive development since the 1950’s when it was developed by Jean Piaget (1896-1980). He aimed to develop a theory which was able to show ‘the nature of knowledge and the ways in which an individual acquires knowledge.’ Smith et al. (2003, p. 388). The theory has three main components to it: schemas, known as…

The mere attempt at perfection is a lost cause, no one in the world can achieve something because one can only be as perfect as his flaws allow. August Wilson’s play, Fences, explores this theme of trying to be the best that one can be through the protagonist, Troy Maxson. His past defines him, where it is fitting to define Troy, and any person for that matter, as the sum of one’s experience. As the choices he makes in the play are defined by prior events in his life, he believes that his…
