Cognitive
Development -The main theorist regarding cognitive
development is Jean Piaget. A Swiss, Piaget got his PhD at 21, which is
about the age that most people now get their BA. He worked in Paris at
Alfred Binet's laboratory school, where the first tests of intellectual
ability were developed. Piaget was intrigued at how children answered
questions incorrectly, as the mistakes that they made seemed to be consistently
different from (the correct) adult responses. He made careful studies
of his own children, and he expanded those studies to larger groups of
kids. Piaget was only discovered by North Americans in the 1960s, when
some of his work was first translated into English. However, he had been
a big name in European psychology since the 1930s. 3/5 |
