Cognitive development is an intellectual growth from infancy to adulthood. Jean Piaget (1896-1980), a Swiss psychologist, was one of the most important and influential researchers in the field of developmental psychology throughout the 20th century. Piaget was born in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, on August 9, 1896. His father, Arthur Piaget, was a professor of medieval literature with an interest in local history. His mother, Rebecca Jackson, was intelligent and energetic. The oldest child, he was very independent and took an early interest in nature. He published his first paper when he was ten - a one page account of his sighting of an albino sparrow.Piaget was the first to develop

Abstract
This paper biographies Jean Piaget, a Swiss psychologist who was renowned for his immense
alms to the field of psychology, especially when concerning his emphasis on the adequate
growth and proper education of children. He was most well known for his theory of cognitive
development which has long since been utilized in many a classroom and educational program to
ensure and foster constructive and fruitful youths who would be

multidisciplinary speaks to the acknowledgment that it takes in excess of a clinician to assess somebody's improvement. Advancement happens organically, intellectually, and socially, and consequently ought to be assessed likewise with a few experts from their separate field. Plastic is an understanding that people can be formed similarly as plastic. Our qualities can be modified, while we as people remain consistent with ourselves. ( Berger, 2016, p. 9-23)
There are many theories related to human growth and development. However, I will only focus on three of them. They include the theory of cognitive development, psychosexual development, and psychosocial stages of development. Jean Piaget

) studied age and IQ matched individuals with ASD, ADHD and typical development, finding distinct executive function profiles for ADHD and ASD. Theory of executive dysfunction also fails to explain the ‘islets of ability’ found in some individuals with autism.
The weak central coherence theory of autism was proposed as an explanation for such strengths (Frith & Happe, 1994). Central coherence refers to an individual’s ability to derive overall meaning or ‘see the big picture’ (i.e. global information processing). Individuals with autism are hypothesized to have weak central coherence and a cognitive bias for details at the expense of meaning. Numerous studies have investigated this; Firth

Development: the pattern of biological, cognitive, and socioemotional changes that continue through the lifespan.
Biological processes and genetic inheritance: Development of the brain, gains in height and weight, changes in motor skills, and puberty’s own hormonal changes.
Cognitive processes: changes in the child’s thinking, etc.
Socioemotional processes: changes in the child’s relationships….
Processes are intertwined. For Example, a child’s smile response to parent’s touch depends on all processes for different reasons.

would be an adult who represents the cultural background of the child (Rathus, 2013). In order to apply the ZPD theory, teachers can observe children carefully and plan more difficult curriculum to inspire children’s abilities by stretching the competence of children (Mooney, 2013). Pairing up with other children who can learn from each other would also be helpful in this case because children’s cognitive development is not completely restricted by their physical development, and their social surroundings and interactions may also have a beneficial effect (Mooney, 2013). In the example of Margaret hammering the nails (Mooney, 2013), the educator Judy carefully evaluated the ZPD of Margaret

Childhood Trauma and Intelligence
During early years of life, development is rapid. A child progresses from helpless
newborn to a walking, talking child with independent ideas and opinions. While the changes on
the outside are the most obvious, there are also significant developments in the brain. Studies
suggest that stress experienced early in life has detrimental consequences on brain development,
including brain regions involved in cognitive function. Exposure to trauma in early childhood
can affect brain development but how does early exposure to

plans should be focused around the level of cognitive development. For example, if the students are in the concrete operational stage, they need “manipulatives” to help them understand more abstract ideas. Thus, the lesson plan should involve hands on activities that has concrete objects to aid understanding and enhance learning.
Piaget’s theory can be applied to when and how a child should be taught. Piaget’s theory is very student centred and the role of the teacher is as the facilitator, this basically means that the teacher should not ‘spoon feed’ the pupil the information but help them by assessing the level they are at and then setting suitable tasks for example giving children small

Groups of scientists, authors, linguists, and researchers have begun to debunk old theory and refuse to believe that bilingualism is a negative effect on a child’s cognitive development. In fact, they go on to retrieve evidence and new theories that pronounce bilingualism in childhood to be a huge benefit. Researchers are revealing that the previous studies

The effects of cognitive performance of manipulated on a short period exercise. The following experiment is to warrant a clear understanding whether or not participants will work better after a physical activity component after being subjected to the Arousal Theory to enhance their cognitive performance. The Arousal Theory suggests that arousal of stimuli can act as a motivator towards or against cognitive performance. The participants for this experiment were asked to partake in two tasks to determine whether or not our hypothesis proved accurate, by doing so we manipulated two variables; the independent variable, the duration of an exercise task, against the dependent variable; a

method involves an individual writing an autobiographical sketch in third person and then evaluating and developing the autobiographical as new experiences take place. This allows the individual to analyse themselves in previous events and determine how to behave in future occurring events.
Personal construct theory and its ideas of constructs differ from many approaches. The approach in which I have found it contrasts the most is the cognitive approach. In this approach there are ideologies such as the theory of cognitive development which was proposed by Piaget. Piaget suggests that behaviour and the mental model of the world is developed through biological maturation and environmental

Piaget's theory of cognitive development consists of various stages, which happen at various times of a young person's life. The stage of life for an adolescent, between the ages of twelve to sixteen, is known as the formal operational stage. This stage is the fourth and final stage of cognitive development. "Formal operational thinkers can recognize and identify a problem. They can state several alternative hypotheses, execute procedures to collect information about the problems to be studied, and test the hypotheses." (Lin, 2002). Prior to adolescence thought is concentrated on much less complex thoughts.During this stage they acquire a method of thinking called hypothetical-deductive

The Vygotskian theory of sociocultural development influence on the maturation of children and adolescence alike, is one to be acknowledged for its continued relativity to modern contexts. Research would suggest that Vygotsky’s concepts of assisted learning otherwise understood as scaffolding, in collaboration with a child’s zone of proximal development is what supports a child to reach their full potential within a learning environment.
Vygotsky theorised that cultural tools both tangible and intangible were vital to a child’s development. He believed that in order to achieve the best learning experience a child must be taught to use different tangible tools such

children and young adults, makes me look back at the cognitive development theory.The cognitive development theory is based around the idea that the development of a person's thought process is influenced by how we understand and interact with the world (Wood, 2011). This being true, television commercials like this one are poison to minds of children, male and female adults, and society as a whole. Representing women in this way creates a negative stereotype that affects males and females, alike, because it allows for this way of thinking to perpetuate into a socially acceptable reality where men are better than women. This is something that is just simply not true. We are all created equal

Vygotsky’s concept of scaffolding is closely related to the concept of the zone of proximal development.
