Cognitive development? What do I think about it? Well....I'm glad it happened to me!
'It refers to how a person perceives, thinks, and gains an understanding of his or her world through the interaction and influence of genetic and learned factors" (Plotnik, 1999)
Research areas on cognitive development includes: information processing *, intelligence, language development*, memory, (to name a few).
* Note: The Psi Cafe has devoted separate pages to information processing, intelligence, and the development of language. This section, therefore emphasizes cognitive development in general and basic cognitive processes in childhood.
The Psi Cafe highlights Jean Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development
Within the history of developmental psychology, Jean Piaget's work has made the greatest impact on the study of cognitive development. A significant feature of Piaget's theory is the focus on processes of cognitive development. According to Piaget, the child is born with an innate curiosity to interact with and understand his/her world. It is through interaction with others (particularly with one's peers), that the child actively constructs his/her development. Links to web sites that emphasize Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development are indicated with a star ()'
