- Weakness: Biased towards Western, male, and individualistic cultures; neglects other cultural perspectives on morality

- Useful framework for understanding moral reasoning stages
- Criticized for cultural bias and not always aligning moral reasoning with behavior
Moral Development in Child Psychology
- Helps understand children's concepts of fairness, rules, and ethics
- Guides interventions for children with difficulties in moral reasoning
Piaget's Cognitive Development Stages
- Sensorimotor (0-2 years): Learning through senses and actions.
- Preoperational (2-7 years): Development of language, symbolic thinking, but lacks logical reasoning
- Concrete operational (7-11 years): Logical thinking about concrete events
- Formal operational (12+ years): Abstract and hypothetical thinking
Piaget's "Three Mountains" Task and Egocentrism

- Indicates egocentrism, a hallmark of preoperational thought
Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development - Strengths and Weaknesses
- Strength: Comprehensive understanding of children's cognitive development, influencing education and psychology
- Weakness: Underestimates children's abilities and portrays development as more discontinuous than continuous

Gunderson et al.'s Study - Parental Praise and Motivation
- Observed 53 children and parents in everyday situations
- Recorded process praise (focus on effort) and person praise (focus on traits)
- Assessed children's mindsets at ages 7-8
Gunderson et al.'s Results and Conclusions
- Children who received process praise developed a growth mindset and were more motivated to face challenges
- Children who received person praise were more likely to develop a fixed mindset

- Process praise: Encourages viewing abilities as developing, leading to greater motivation
- Person praise: Creates a fixed mindset, potentially leading children to avoid challenges
