Neo-Piagetian theories of cognitive development

Human Development Reflection: Young Adulthood In Experience Human Development, Papalia and Martorell define young adulthood as ages twenty through forty, although the idea of young adulthood is more a social construct than an actual age range. Upon entering this phase, individuals have reached their full-grown physical stature. In fact, adults are considered to be at their physical peak during this phase of life with most young adults claiming to be in good to excellent physical health. However

Jean Piaget believed that cognitive development was a progression occurring as a result of biological growth and the connection each child had with its environment. To create their individual cognitive worlds, each individual child learns to organize their experiences and differentiate the least important from the more important ones. In addition, they adjust their individualized thinking and add new ideas and connect the ideas together for further understanding. He found that adolescents use schemas

his family, where he will be attending in the fall. What will Jalen decide? The question of when to apply to college and how compatible it is to adolescent development will be discussed in this paper. Two important factors regarding the college application processes will be explored. The first examines what is known about adolescent development and how this corresponds with the process and timeline for how students make college application decisions; the second focuses on the socio-cultural implications

Jean Piaget developed a cognitive approach to studying and classifying behavioral growth in stages. He believed that each child matured and learned at a different rate, so even though children mature in the same cognitive sequence, there might be separation in the achievement of each level from one child to the next (Swartwood, 2012, p. 46). Piaget’s four stages of cognitive development are Sensorimotor, Preoperational, Concrete Operational, and Formal Operational (Swartwood, 2012, p. 49). Piaget

The development of the cognition in the early years of life (2-6 year olds) is the assembly of the thought processes. The thought processes are comprised of memory, problem solving, and decision-making (Encyclopedia of Children’s Health). Universally all children’s thought processes consist of these three abilities; however, there are cases where the child doesn’t have the ability or can be impaired in one or more of these abilities. Several theories of how a child in the early years thinks have

A Replication of the Stroop Effect Kimber-Ann Cook Broughton High School 3/26/08 Ms. Greene IB Psychology SL 1, 738 Abstract The Stroop (1935) effect is the inability to ignore a color word when the task is to report the ink color of that word (i.e., to say "green" to the word RED in green ink). The present study investigated whether object-based processing contributes to the Stroop effect. According to this view, observers are unable to ignore irrelevant features of an attended object (Kahneman

Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development      Jean Piaget was born on August9, 1896, in the French speaking part of Switzerland. At an early age he developed an interest in biology, and by the time he had graduated from high school he had already published a number of papers. After marrying in 1923, he had three children, whom he studied from infancy. Piaget is best known for organizing cognitive development into a series of stages- the levels of development corresponding
