Swiss born psychologist and philosopher, Jean Piaget is considered to be a pioneering genius in the field of developmental psychology, Not only did he make vast improvements in the treatment of patients with mental disorders, he has revolutionized how child development is viewed along with teaching, and learning itself. Born in 1896 to a professor and a domestic engineer, Piaget had a quite a fierce fascination with Biology as a child, and spent many a days at the national museum of natural…

According to Jean Piaget, a well-known psychologist, children grow through a chain of four serious stages of cognitive development. Through observations he made of children, Piaget established a theory of knowledgeable development that included four distinct stages: the sensorimotor stage, from birth to the age 2, the preoperational stage, from age 2 to about the age of 7 and the concrete operational stage, ranging from age 7 to 11. The last stage he established was the formal operational stage,…

Three Main Principles of Piaget’s Theory Piaget’s theory of cognitive development was based on three main principles which are assimilation, accommodation and equilibration First it is important to define the term ‘schema’. Schema is a cognitive representation of activities or things (Oakley 2004). For example, when a baby is born it will have an automatic response for sucking in order to ensure that it can feed and therefore grow (Oakley 2004). As the baby grows, this schema will become…

This stage takes place between the age range of two to seven years. Children now have a better ability to hold and recall the image of objects and events due to an increasing use of symbolization. Images allow children to represent objects and relationships in the world around them. Children begin to engage in what is known as “pretend” play during this time. For example, a child might see a playground and refer to it as their castle…

Jean Piaget’s theory is very interesting. The cognitive development is all the mental activities. The thinking, knowing, remembering, and communicating. Jeans studies made him believe that a child’s mind grows in stages. The older we get the more our brains develop. Our intellectual progression has to do with all of our experiences we have in our life time. We have schemas as out brain is maturing. Where we have experiences where we use and adjust to these schemas. They change a lot the older we…

sensorimotor period, motor behaviors lead to first schemas and body-centered to object centered. These schemas are dynamic, active structures from which children perceive information through experience and keep the children conscious about the external environments and they are active on discovering relationships between their bodies and environment. The two cognitive development achievements that occurs during this stage are object permanence and trends in accidental to intentional behaviors,…

Jean Piaget, a Swiss psychologist and genetic epistemologist, is one of the most widely known cognitivist; he studied how children think as well as the nature of intelligence. According to (Cherry, Jean Piaget Biography (1896-1980), 2016), “Prior to Piaget’s theory, children were often thought of simply as mini-adults. Instead, Piaget suggested that the way children think is fundamentally different from the way that adults think.” “Piaget was the first psychologist to make a systematics study of…

and concentrate without being distracted. Piaget performed a number of experiments centered on centration called the conservation concept experiments. In all of the experiments, the children are shown two objects that are equal. Once the children take in the information in front of them, the object is changed in a way that makes it look different but does not change the dimension of interest. An example of this is the conservation of liquid experiment. This experiment put a cup of water in a…

Piaget's theory of cognitive development Jean Piaget was a Swiss scholar who argued that children are not little adults. Also, he believed that everyone is born with a natural tendency to organize the world meaningful by constructing mental models of the world called schemata. Schemata are mental models of the world that we use to guide and interpret our experiences (Nairne, 2014) Piaget’s primary contributions was to demonstrate that children’s reasoning errors can provide a window into how…

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. The four stages are sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational. The first stage sensorimotor is from birth to about the age of 2. 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…
