Piaget's Stage Theory of Cognitive Development
Prediction Based on Piaget`s theory, children during the pre -
operational stage
have acquired the ability to stand apart and view themselves from
another person`s
perspective. They are able to describe themselves as different from
other
children by listing their unique characteristics, especially the fact
that their
names are different. They develop a more complex understanding of
themselves,
such as age, name, family etc.. During the same stage children become
aware of
and use gender as a dimension by which to classify people. Once
children become
aware of their own sex, they learn to label themselves as boy or girl.
Early
childhood is the time when children start to learn family values, and
become a
cooperative part of the family with their own responsibilities. They
spend
countless hours of play and other activities with their siblings.
Although young
children may use words reflecting an understanding of time, such as
minute,
hour, day, or week, they still confuse the concept of time and space.
Based on
Piaget`s theory, I believe that the interviewed children will know
their age,
name, gender, and their siblings. I do not expect to know their exact
birthday
and address because it is still too abstract for them. Furthermore, I
do not
expect that the background/culture is influencing the children`s
answers to my

- Piaget's Stages Of Cognitive Development Essayanalytical essayWhen Piaget was a biologist, he was always curious about how an organism adapts to the environment, which he described as intelligence. He then thought that behavior, the adaptation to the environment, is controlled through schemas which would be used to represent actions. This would then explain that adaptation is driven by the biological drive to find an equilibrium between the environment and these schemas. Going off of this, Piaget believed that infants were born with schemas that started operating at birth which he then called “reflexes.” As the child aged, the schemas would grow to become more complex and would go about this in a series of stages. These stages are known as a part of Piaget’s Stages of Cognitive Development. The four branches of stages include; sensorimotor, pre-operational, concrete operational, and formal operational (“Early Brain Development for Social Work Practice:

Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development identifies four stages of development associated with age (Huitt & Hummel, 2003). Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs “posited a hierarchy of human needs based on two groupings: deficiency needs and growth needs” (Huitt, 2007). Comparatively, both theories argue that humans need a series of environmental and psychological support to meet our needs. Integrated, these two theories together enable teachers to understand which stage of development students are at and to create teaching

The sensorimotor stage begins once an individual is born and ends around the time that the individual turns two years old (McLeod, 2015). Since the sensorimotor stage only lasts for approximately two years, it is the shortest stage of Piaget’s cognitive developmental theory. According to Santrock in our textbook, “in the sensorimotor stage infants construct an understanding of the world by coordinating sensory experiences (such as seeing and hearing) with physical and motor actions” (Santrock, 2014, p. 95). Wood, Smith, and Grossniklaus state, “in this stage Infants cannot predict reaction, and therefore must constantly experiment and learn through trial and

During adolescence, people develop the ability to think beyond what is real in the present and think to the possibilities of the future (Ashford & LeCroy, 2013 p. 429). They can reflect on abstract concepts. Piaget’s referred to this thought process as formal operational thought. Adolescents develop the ability to cultivate ideals and express specific plans for the future. They also have the capacity to develop clear goals to attain their plans and objectives (2013).

They are necessary to expand our knowledge of how learning works. Piaget’s work is a well-tested and educators around the world should be aware of Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive development in particular because it will improve the quality of their teaching. Once a teacher knows this theory, they can plan lessons appropriate to their students’ cognitive ability and build upon students’ earlier knowledge in a constructivist way.

I like how the text explains development by stating “one gifted professor of psychology suggested to me that stages of a child development are like a rainbow: we can see that t6here are different colors in a rainbow, but it’s not possible to see exactly where one color stops and the next begins” (Lahey, 2012). Our bipedalism is indirectly responsible for our position as apex predators, while human infants are virtually helpless after birth and required constant care by their parent’s in order to survive this can be seen both as a vantage and disadvantage. Our brains respond to stimulus by making more neural connections and growing more powerful with each generation. It is this natural phenomena which allowed us to

Although this discipline is entirely necessary and helpful in all cases and lives it attempts to improve, the article explains that social work often doesn’t employ all available approaches to help their clients, as they fail to incorporate physiological knowledge into their practice, research, and education. (Lefmann & Combs Orme, 2013) As discussed in lecture, Jean Piaget’s stages of cognitive development are used to explain the way a child’s brain develops over their lifetime. The stages of development are used to shape the article, and to explain how Piaget’s theory directly relates to how social work should be studied and used. “This paper overlays the early biological development of the brain with Piaget’s sensorimotor stage of development.” (Lefmann & Combs-Orme, 2013.

Piaget believed that children naturally try to make sense of their world, by engaging, touching, sucking, listening, and looking. Piaget’s theory of cognitive development was inspired by observing his own kids, and how they interacted with their surroundings. Piaget describes four major stages of cognitive development. Each stage represents a change in children and how they learn and understand their environment around them. It begins at birth until about 2 years of age. It is based on sense and motor skills. And how well they physically interact with their surroundings. Motor skills can be defined as anything that requires an infant to use their muscles, such as

- Explains how assimilation uses existing knowledge to understand new experiences. learned schemes are programmed into long-term memory and create a mental balance.
- Explains that accommodation is a radical change to existing schemes or forming new schemas.
- Explains that piaget's theory of cognitive development is a continuous cycle of assimilation, disequilibrium, and accommodation.
- Explains that infants do not know how to independently lift their heads, resulting in their head always being down (assimilation). when they hear unfamiliar sounds, they may become curious.
- Explains that once an infant can lift their head (assimilation), they may want to move toward new sights, sounds, and events (disequilibrium).
- Explains that the third stage of walking involves learning to independently sit up. although an infant may be able to roll near a source (assimilation), they may not fully observe it in an upright position.
- Explains that the fourth stage of learning to walk comes after an infant learns how to sit up (assimilation), and tries to move toward an interesting source that is impossible to roll over next to (disequilibrium).
- Explains that the final stage of walking is the obvious achievement of learning to walk. once a child knows how to stand up independently (assimilation) to observe an event, they may want to move swiftly toward an object they could not reach before.
- Concludes that piaget's theory of cognitive development illustrates the stages of walking through the mental structures of schemes, assimilation, and accommodation, all caused by a disequilibrium in experiences.

Jean Piaget was known as one of the most famous theorist. This famous theorist was born in Neuchâtel, Switzerland on August 9, 1896. Piaget was successful from a young age. At just the age of 11, he attended Neuchâtel Latin High School then continued on to college at the University of Neuchâtel where he studied Zoology. During this time, Jean Piaget took a semester and committed to strictly studying psychology, where
