From the very moment that we are conceived‚ our brain continues to grow each and everyday until it reaches its desired adult size. This sustained period of growth plays a pivotal role in jump-starting cognitive development‚ which is the development of thinking‚ problem solving‚ and memory. There was a time that people believed young children and adults had alike thought processes. However‚ Swiss-born clinical psychologist‚ Jean Piaget reversed this notion by theorizing that there are four separate
