that we grow up to learn and accept. Family‚ peers and location are the some of the socialisation factors that influence an individual’s identity. There have been two particular theories which show the impact that socialisation has on identity. Jean Piaget based a theory around the cognitive development of a child up to adulthood. Abraham Maslow based a theory more-so on the various needs that a child gains through their journey to adulthood‚ however on Maslow’s theory a person can progress and regress

increasingly advanced thought and problem solving ability from infancy to adulthood. Piaget ’s theory of cognitive development is an inclusive theory about the nature and development of human intelligence first developed by Jean Piaget. It is primarily known as a developmental stage theory‚ but in fact‚ it deals with the nature of knowledge itself and how humans come gradually to acquire it‚ construct it‚ and use it. Moreover‚ Piaget(1969) claims the idea that cognitive development is at the center of human

Piaget’s theory of cognitive development explained how a child’s ability to think progresses through a series of distinct stages as they mature. Piaget believed that these stages were maturational. That is‚ development is genetic and largely unaffected by environmental factors. Cognitive theory examines internal mental representations such as sensation‚ reasoning‚ thinking and memory. Cognition involves how children and adults go about representing‚ organizing‚ treating‚ and transforming information

cognitive theories can be applied to this deficit in both child and those on the Autism spectrum. For Piaget‚ the perspective a child held was a central concept of his developmental theory. The early‚ developing child olds a perspective that he is the central figure and is unable to understand other people have differing beliefs than his own‚ a process Piaget referred to as decentering. Piaget asserted his begins to change as the child enters the Concrete Operational Stage‚ where they are able to

do these children learn is the question. When we are born we are a blank slate with a whole world around us that will teach us so much and by the time we enter school our brain will have learned so much it is hard to understand how it all happened. Jean Piaget’s theory of cognitive development suggests that children move through four different stages of mental development. His theory focuses not only on understanding how children acquire knowledge‚ but also on understanding the nature of intelligence

Jean Piaget‚ Erik Erikson and Lawrence Kohlberg are some of theorists who ventured in the field of Psychology‚ specifically in human development. Consequently‚ using Thomas’s standard of judgment‚ this paper aims to weigh‚ compare and evaluate the assumptions and claims of these proponents.

Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development Jean Piaget‚ a researcher biologist and genetic epistemologist‚ was interested in how organisms adapt to the environment. He studied the cognitive development of children and believed it involves continuous organization of mental processes. Piaget uses two major aspects in his theory: the process of coming to know and the stages we move through as we acquire this ability (Huitt & Hammel‚ 2003). Piaget believed that through the processes of assimilation

Cognitive (Piaget) Cognitive theories of development look at how thought processes and mental operations influence growth and change. Cognitive theory is looking at the development of a person ’s thought processes. It also looks at how these thought processes influence how we understand and interact with the world. One theorist and cognitive thinker was Jean Piaget‚ who gave an idea about how we think about child development. This is that children think differently than adults. Jean Piaget created
