These tests were designed to see at what stage of development a child was currently at and also test Piaget’s ideas that children’s thinking develops through a fixed set of stages. Finally‚ this essay will discuss how the later researchers have questioned Piaget’s theory. Hughes and Grieve (1980) have carried
