Jean Piaget's theory

1. COGNITIVE
DEVELOPMNET

2. CONCEPT OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT
• Cognitive Development is the process of acquire
knowledge, ability to learn and solve problems.
• Cognitive development involves growth or
changes in the individual’s thought, perception,
intelligence, reasoning, memory and language.
• It also involves abstract, idealistic, logical,
reflective and relativistic thinking.

3. STAGES OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT
• Sensory motor period (0 - 24 months)
• Reflexive Stage (up to two months): Simple reflex activity
such as grasping, sucking.
• Primary Circular Reactions (two to four months) Reflexive
behaviors occur in stereotyped repetition such as opening
and closing fingers repetitively.
• Secondary Circular Reactions (four to eight months)
Repetition of actions to reproduce interesting
consequences such as kicking feet to move a mobile.

4. COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT
• increasing goal-
directed behavior
• object performance
• stranger anxiety

5. • The preoperational period (2 to 7 years)
• Preoperational Phase (two to four years)
•Increased use of verbal representation, but
speech is egocentric. The beginnings of
symbolic rather than simple motor play.
• Can think about something without the
object being in front of them by using
language to describe it.

6. COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT
• egocentrism
• collective monologues
• magical thinking
• parallel and pretend play
• dramatic play
• centration
• language development

7. • Third cognitive development stage: Concrete operations (7 to 12 years)
• There is now evidence for organised, logical
thought. There is the ability to classify many
tasks, order objects in a logical sequence,
and comprehend the principle of
conservation. Thinking becomes less
egocentric. The child is capable of concrete
problem-solving.

8. COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT
• classification
• seriation
• transitivity
• conservation
• class inclusion
• decentration
• transformation

9. COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT
• abstract thinking
• scientific reasoning
• hypothesis testing
• adolescent- egocentrism
• adolescent- disenchantment
• mature moral reasoning

11. SOME IDEAS ON COGNITIVE DEV
• Development does not precede
socialization. Rather, social structures and
social relations lead to the development of
mental functions. Vygotsky
• Historical changes in society and material
life produce changes in human nature.
Vygotsky

12. SOME IDEAS ON COGNITIVE DEV
• Biological maturation establishes the
preconditions for cognitive development. Jean
Piaget
• Behavior is controlled through mental
organizations called schemes that the individual
uses to represent the world and designate
action. Jean Piaget
