Principles of Persuasion Dr. Robert Cialdini’s 1984 seminal book, Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion discussed six universal principles used to influence and persuade people. His ideas touch on core human values: Cooperation, consensus, reciprocity, how society views authority, and one of economics’ central principles, the influence of sacristy (Schenker, 2017). This paper explores what has become known as Cialdini’s principles and describes a past experience where this author drew upon…

How children development cognitively or how thinking develops in children is one of the subjects that Piaget study. He came up with a theory of cognitive development that stated that there are four key milestones in cognitive developments which he divided into four stages. In each stage there is different actions that children develop and until a person develops these skills, they are stuck in this stage according to Piaget. The four stages are sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational,…

What is wisdom? A definition of wisdom is the quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgment; the quality of being wise. Wisdom is the aftereffect of past life experiences, that will help a person and lead them to help others in the future.

Some people associate wisdom with age. Just…

While learning different concepts and theories regarding the the field of child development there Piaget’s cognitive - developmental theory and Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory are to theories that we can’t deny have a huge impact on the field of child development. With that being said we will get into both their similarities and differences in specific aspects such as whether development within humans is continuous or discrete etc. But first we will discuss the overall theories of each, we…

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.…

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 separate embodiments. Enlisting assistance from a colleague’s relative, I assessed my revitalizing experience with handling an infant under the age…

In life a person proceeds through several changes to become the person they are today. These changes are called stages which change us physically and mentally. The first change that people go through is early childhood 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…

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 to…
