Mikayla Prettyman Reflection 6 Piaget's Theory In piaget's theory there are four stages of cognitive development that the brain goes through from birth to adulthood.

Babies take in the world through their senses which is hearing, touching, mouthing, and grasping. Young babies live in the present “out of sight out of mind”. If you show a…

Based on Sarah’s age, I observed to see if she fell into Piaget’s Preoperational Stage of Cognitive Development. To determine this I answered the following questions: Does Sarah understand that an…
