Study Notes
- Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development states that a newborn passes through the stage of reflex actions and then reaches a stage where it can perform complex actions like an adult.
- Piaget maintains that the stages of development have continuity and that the individual goes through the stages of development one at a time just like a butterfly.
- The thinking of children is different from that of adults because the child is at a different stage of development. However, the child is not an idiot.
- Piaget believes that cognitive development is based on experience and that schemas are the basic units of our information.
- Schemas are the general concepts that are based on experience and organize the past experiences. They also build the structures of cognition.
- When the child is able to repeat some schema in its mind, it is called operation or mental process.
