Data Analysis: Nature of intelligence in one’s personality and Reality as a dynamic force of constant amendments in The Lost Pearl by Lara Zuberi Cognitive development is the construction of intellectual aptitude including identification, investigation, exposition, sensitivity and judgment, from childhood through adolescence to adulthood. Nature of intelligence mainly involves the intellectual practicalities, psychological sequences (thoughts), and eminences of intelligent entities. An…
unfolds the structured sequence of cognitive development. These four stages are listed below and the major developments are explained: • Sensorimotor: are the infancy stage of development (0-2 years). Infants create schemas, through object permanence, infants learn that objects continue to exist when they are out of sight. • Pre-operative: pre-school, early primary school aged children (2-7 years). Language develops rapidly. Children become imaginative in play. • Concrete operations: Late…
Children are interesting individuals. I came to this conclusion the week I was babysitting two of my younger cousins: one a jubilant nine year old and the other at the tender age of three. By the end of the week, I understood that a three year old has a significantly different thinking pattern than their older siblings. To me, the different manners through which my cousins learned, thought, and expressed themselves was extremely fascinating. Eager to understand these differences in greater…
on the cognitive development in children in an attempt to understand the extent and maturation of human intelligence. The first aspect of Piaget 's theory is the formation of schemas. Think of a schema as a category tin which you group similar objects, actions, and situations. Piaget theorized that there were two types of learning: assimilation and accommodation. Assimilation occurs when you are exposed to…
Introduction Jean Piaget theorized a model for Cognitive development. Before examining and describing my experiences from observing a class from Beverley Hills girls, a brief understanding of Jean Piaget?s theory on cognitive development must be made. Simply put, Piaget theorizes that children are prevented in learning certain concepts relative to their development stage (Woolfolk & Margetts, 2016, p. 80). Piaget argues that thought processes change over time, depending on certain factors and…

I am a football player, with the utmost passion and desire for the game. I am a father, who loves, cares, and provides for his family. And I am a student striving for greatness, and I have an introverted personality that most people greatly appreciate. I challenge myself with long and short term goals everyday, hoping to…
Jean Piaget observed intellectual growth as a manner of adaptation to the world. This happens through: assimilation, the process through which an individual incorporates new experiences into an already existing schemata, and accommodation, the process of modifying existing schemata to satisfy the requirements of new experiences. Piaget believed the adaption or change of the person them self, to be the product of their ability to assimilate by incorporating new experiences into their pre-existing…
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…
Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development talks about how people gain information through the years. This happens in four stages: the sensorimotor stage, the preoperationational reasoning stage, the concrete operational stage, and the formal operational stage. This past week I have been studying a child in the concrete operational stage. This stage is from ages seven to eleven. In this period of time, the child will have “more flexible thinking and can…
1990). Flavell produced an experiment for children away from the Piaget's egocentrism. In Favell's experiment, the experimenter shows to child a painted sponge which looks like a rock. A 3 years old child according to Flavell, will say that either the object look like a…
