    Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development

    Uploaded by

    DIRAY, LIANNE T.
    Jean Piaget was a Swiss psychologist who developed a theory of cognitive development that describes how children construct an understanding of the world. [1] His theory suggests that children progress through four main stages of development - sensory motor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational. [2] At each stage, children build upon existing schemas through the processes of assimilation and accommodation as they interact with and adapt to their environments. [3]

    A Swiss psychologist and pioneer of


    studying the human development.
    Famous for his works about human
    development and his theory of cognitive
    development.

    Introduction

    Piaget believed that children take an active


    role in the learning process, acting much
    like little scientists as they perform
    experiments, make observations, and learn
    about the world. As kids interact with the
    world around them, they continually add
    new knowledge, build upon existing
    knowledge, and adapt previously held ideas
    to accommodate new information.

    Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive


    development suggests that children move
    through four different stages of
    learning. His theory focuses not only on
    understanding how children acquire
    knowledge, but also on understanding
    the nature of intelligence.
    The Three Basic
    Components to Piaget's
    Cognitive Development
    Describes both the mental and physical actions
    SCHEMAS involved in understanding and knowing.
    Schemas are categories of knowledge that help
    us to interpret and understand the world

    Adaptation is the tendency to adjust to the


    ADAPTATION environment. It is the process by which humans
    match the original experience and the new
    experience and this may not fit together.
    The process of taking in new information into
    ASSIMILATION our already existing schemas is known as
    assimilation.

    Is the ability to change existing schemas in


    light of new information; this process is known
    ACOMMODATION as accommodation.

    As children progress through the stages of


    cognitive development, it is important to
    EQUILIBIRATION maintain a balance between applying previous
    knowledge (assimilation) and changing
    behavior to account for new knowledge
    (accommodation).
    The Sensory motor stage

    During this earliest stage of cognitive


    development, infants and toddlers acquire
    knowledge through sensory experiences and
    manipulating objects. A child's entire experience at
    the earliest period of this stage occurs through
    basic reflexes, senses, and motor responses.
    The Preoperational stage

    Thi s stage l ast around age 2 unti l age 7. The


    foundati ons of l anguage devel opment may have
    been l ai d duri ng the previ ous stage, but the
    emergence of l anguage i s one of the maj or
    hal l marks of the preoperati onal stage of
    devel opment.
    The Concrete Operational stage

    The third stage is the Concrete Operational


    Stage. The development of systematic and
    logical thinking occurs during this seven to
    eleven-years-old age range. While children
    are still very concrete and literal in their
    thinking at this point in development, they
    become much more skillful at using logic.
    The Formal Operational Stage

    The final stage of Piaget's theory. The


    formal operational stage begins at
    approximately age twelve and lasts into
    adulthood. As adolescents enter this stage,
    they gain the ability to think in an abstract
    manner by manipulating ideas in their head,
    without any dependence on concrete
    manipulation (Inhelder & Piaget, 1958).
