In the mid-eighties of the last century, Robert Sternberg, a psychologist Yale University, proposed his triad theory of intelligence. Their model is based on intelligence mental operations performed by the individual. Defines as intelligence conduct that has as its object the conscious adaptation, selection and configuration of the environment on the basis of the interests and needs from the person. For Sternberg: Intelligence is modifiable. Intelligence is at least partially defined by the…

Evaluate the view that stage-based approaches to development are unable to account for individual differences in development In a quest to explain development, stage based approaches are often used. Stage based approaches look at the development of children in particular being divided into concrete stages, in which the fundamental development takes place (Bukatko & Daehler, 2001). One of the most relevant stage based approach is that of Piaget. Piaget believed that cognitive development could…

Do you believe that two children in different ages should think in the same way about the fantasy of the spider-man? Piaget has introduced a famous theory of cognitive development. It has four stages of cognitive development based on the age of children, sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational. A 3-year-old child is in the preoperational stage of development. A child at the age of nine is in the concrete operational stage. There are some differences between…

Children think differently than adults, and therefore develop their thoughts differently. According to the psychology book, cognitive development can be described as the study of how children acquire the ability to learn, think, reason, communicate, and remember. One can observe a great difference between a 3-year-old preschooler’s thinking pattern and a 9-year-old student’s thinking pattern. Each child has a different thinking ability which falls into a stage of Piaget’s theory of stages of…

The Essays “Salvation” by Langston Hughes and “The Lottery” by Chris Abani maintain correlations regarding main ideas. In “Salvation,” Hughes retains the belief that a community enacts pressure onto its youths to comply with its customs in order to maintain orthodoxy in its society. Hughes shares his personal experience at a revival where twelve year old Hughes was pressured by his congregation to be “brought to Jesus.” Similar to Hughes, in “The Lottery,” Abani asserts that society is forcibly…

The thinking between a 3 year-old preschooler and a 9-year-old student is very different, according to Piaget’s theory of cognitive development. Cognitive development refers to the development of thinking, problem solving, and memory. Jean Piaget developed his theory by observing infants and children. He believed that children form mental concepts or schemes as they experience new situations and events. He also believed that children first try to understand new things in terms of schemes they…

I had absolutely no previous knowledge about cognitive development prior to researching about it this week. I had never heard of Jean Piaget either, but I am glad that I did because his theory of cognitive development is very interesting. I learned that cognitive development is the development of the thinking and organizing parts of the brain and it involves language, reasoning, problem solving, and memory. Piaget was the first psychologist to make a study of cognitive development. Before his…

i. Physical  Gross Motor Mila did a lot of movements in the Baby Day as an active toddler. She explored the lawn are a lot, and she moved from one spot to another one several times. In addition, she threw the red ball frequently to different directions, and after she threw it, she would get it and returned it to her mother. Moreover, she tried to bring the big basket to her mother. Also, when she saw the guy played the guitar, she tried to dance. All of these big muscle movements are gross…

Critically assess Piaget’s theoretical predictions about when children would and would not be able to have/do certain things (eg. Object Permanence, imitate facial expressions, take another’s perspective, pass a conservation task etc. Cognitive development describes the growth of cognitive abilities and capacities from birth to old age (Colman, 2009). Jean Piaget’s four stages cognitive-developmental theory (Piaget, 1962) is widely regarded as the most detailed explanation of child development…

eligious development in childhood is filled theories but there is little to no empirical research done on the topic of religious development in childhood. A majority of the theories regarding religious in early childhood development revolve around stage theories of religious cognitive development. There seems to be a lot of overlap in these theories as well. Jean Piaget holds a considerable amount of influence in the stage theories. There are four stages to Piaget’s theory: Sensorimotor stage,…
