In this paper we will consider the work of Piaget and the research that follows to consider if these view provide valid explanations (Bancroft and Flynn‚ 2005‚ 133-136).

theory. Piaget suggested that there were four major cognitive stages in logical development‚ corresponding to four successive forms of knowledge. During each of these stages‚ children were hypothesized to think and reason in a different way. These stages‚ and their approximate ages of occurrence‚ were: the sensory-motor period (0-2 years)‚ the period of pre-operations (2-7 years)‚ the period of concrete operations (7-11 years) and the period of formal operations (11-12 years on).

How do humans acquire language? In 1966‚ Allen and Beatrice Gardner undertook an experiment to find out whether humans’ ability to acquire language is innate or whether it is learnt; the ‘Nature vs. Nurture’ debate. To help them understand whether it is innate or not‚ they chose an animal known for not only being intelligent‚ but also for being sociable and able to form strong bonds with human beings: the chimpanzee. They made sure to emphasise the importance of sociability when they chose their
