Technique to Evaluate a Piagetian Hypothesis 1) The purpose of this paper is to use the habituation technique in young infants to evaluate one hypothesis derived from Piaget’s theory of cognitive development. I will compare 5-months olds in a task that involves possible and impossible outcomes. Piaget’s theory specifies the cognitive competencies of children of this age.1a. Piaget stated that the sensorimotor stage happens from birth to about age two. Infants find the world with their fives senses and
