JEAN PIAGET COGNITIVEDEVELOPMENTAL THEORY
Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development w Stage Theorist – 4 stages of cognitive development w Developed primarily as a result of observing his own children, and as such… w Deemed unscientific by many American psychologists, but…. w Results have since been replicated by many attempting to discredit his work
Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development: Basic Concepts w Physical action/curiosity/exploration is the basis for cognitive development w Adaptation – a continuous process of interacting with the environment, leads to the development of schemas w Schema – a habit, reflex or response; may be behavioral or cognitive w Assimilation – using an existing schema to handle an environmental demand
Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development: Basic Concepts w Disequilibrium – conflict created when new situations can not be assimilated (i. e. an existing schema is unable to handle an environmental demand); leads to…. . w Accomodation – modifying a response in accordance with environmental demands; leads to new schema development (this is cognitive growth) w Equilibration Principle – disequilibrium leads to curiosity and exploration which facilitates cognitive development w Figurative vs. Operative Knowledge
TO MAINTAIN EQUILIBRIUM, individuals ADAPT to their environment and ORGANIZE their knowledge ADAPTATION AND ORGANIZATION are essential to EQUILIBRATION The process of maintaining equilibrium

STAGES OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT SENSORIMOTOR PREOPERATIONAL CONCRETE OPERATIONS FORMAL OPERATIONS
STAGES OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT SENSORIMOTOR
Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development: Sensorimotor Stage w Birth – 2 yrs of age w Schema development is largely sensory and motor related w Reflexive behavior dominates stage (ex. Sucking) w Eye-hand coordination develops w Demonstrates: intentionality w object differentiation w object permanence
PREOPERATIONAL STAGE IMMACULATE PERCEPTION
Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development: Preoperational Stage w Ages 2 – 6 years w Schema development involves speech, language and vocabulary and is characterized by: ocentrism reliance on perception irreversibility centration simple classification inability to “conserve”
CONSERVATION OF LIQUIDS PREOPERATIONAL STAGE
STAGES OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT SENSORIMOTOR PREOPERATIONAL CONCRETE OPERATIONS
Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development: Concrete Operations w Ages 6 – 11 yrs. w Ability to reason logically with concrete but not abstract concepts w Characterized by: reversibility w decentration w ability to “conserve” w multiple classification w seriation
STAGES OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT SENSORIMOTOR PREOPERATIONAL CONCRETE OPERATIONS FORMAL OPERATIONS
Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development: Formal Operations w w w Early Adolescence and Adulthood w Characterized by: Propositional thinking Experimental reasoning Idealistic Egocentrism Conceptualizes combos
“EVERY TIME WE TEACH A CHILD SOMETHING, WE KEEP HIM FROM REINVENTING IT. ON THE OTHER HAND, EVERY TIME A CHILD DISCOVERS IT FOR HIMSELF, IT REMAINS WITH HIM FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE. ” Jean Piaget
Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development: Implications w Suggests the importance of discovery learning (Bruner) w Suggests that learning will be most meaningful if interest and curiosity is peaked (i. e. induce disequilibrium by presenting challenges just beyond the child’s capabilities w Suggests there are limits to what can be taught to children; learning is limited by stage characteristics
