Neo-Piagetian theories of cognitive development

Erik Erikson and Jean Piaget’s theories contrast one another, however they both agree that humans go through different stages through our development. Jean Piaget’s theory, cognitive development, focuses on different stages of a child where they transition from one stage to the other, and they follow a sequence. His stages and key ideas can be looked at as building blocks meaning, a good foundation can build a sturdy tower that will not easily fall down, however if your foundation is not even…

developing cognitive? Describe at least three of them. There are varies indications when a child is developing cognitively and all are very valuable. Observing a child development is the best opportunity to identify those behaviors. “Cognitive Development involves mental process used to process information, grow in awareness, solve problems, and gain knowledge.” (Martin & Fabes, pg. 4).

think about “the real and the possible” at the same time (p. 45). Clarice also shows evidence of being able to do this in a practical sense. This suggests that while Calrice is still struggling with psychosocial development and is behind her cohort there, she is within range for cognitive…

Cognitive development is described as the way someone would construct thought processes and learn different skills such as remembering, problem solving, and making decisions from the time someone is a child until they are an adult.

In Urie Bronfenbrenner's ecological system theory, he describes systems of environments which effects child development. The microsystem is the innermost system that represents the environments that a child directly interacts with. The microsystem is made of 4 components: home, religious setting, school, and neighborhood. All these components in the microsystem are environments in a child's daily life and affects his or her development in a direct way. Bronfenbrenner also describes a system of…

socially, economically, and physically in the real world. With this being said, the theorist whose material best matches our school systems, in my opinion, would by Jean Piaget. One sentence could be used to create a vague picture of Piaget’s overall theory, “We should…

forms of mediation of sociodramatic play: explanation to children of social roles and relations, and teaching children play skills. Despite being two different approaches, both forms of mediation of sociodramatic play “create the zone of proximal development of the child” (Karpov 61). The two forms of mediation of sociodramatic play have one major difference in that they take on two completely different approaches. Children are required to understand the roles and relations of sociodramatic…

Concept of Bruner's Spiral Curriculum Introduction The central concept of the Bruner's Spiral Curriculum is primarily predicated on a cognitive theory. According to Bruner, people tend to start with the hypothesis, and though intellectually honest form any subjected can be explained and linked to a child at any stage of their development processes (Gibbs, 2014). Therefore, one can choose to teach a child complex materials at any age provided that these materials are adequately presented and…

children, we assent with the above theory. Hence, we choose the topic of Mother-Baby Interaction and Child’s needs. We believe that, the bonding and the positive interaction between a mother and her child will lead to the optimum wellbeing of her child. As this is a pair work, we started off by jotting down what we know about the topic. I am blessed to have Sharmini as a partner, as she is motivated as I am, when it comes to the issues of children’s development. It does not take much time for us…
