How do we know for sure that these ‘lesser figures’ didn’t contribute as well as the others? I know…

Cognitive development is all about the way a person thinks. According to these theorists, Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky, David Elkind, and Benjamin Bloom, there are many different ways of thinking.

Abstract: There are three developmental psychologists who have laid the foundations to what we know about development. These three psychologists are Jean Piaget, Erik Erikson, and Lawrence Kohlberg.

I’ve determined where they are in the developmental stages and if I believe if their theories are reasonable and true.…
