Two processes, organization and adaptation, are the basis for the four stages of development. 

This theory suggests that we organize and adapt to our observations and experiences.]]> 2018-10-19 15:16:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kharris77/lwy9nwn6c5oy/wish/294869442 Stage 1 - Sensorimotor Stage kharris77 https://padlet.com/kharris77/lwy9nwn6c5oy/wish/294902979 Birth to 2 Years of Age

"Infants construct an understanding of the world by coordinating sensory experiences (seeing and hearing) with physical, motoric actions" (Santrock, 2013). 

"An infant progresses from reflexive, instinctual action at birth to the beginning of symbolic thought toward the end of the stage" (Santrock, 2013).

"Children begin to go beyond simply connecting sensory information with physical action and represent the world with words, images, and drawings" (Santrock, 2013). 

Piaget believed that preschool children lack the ability to perform internal mental actions, or operations.

¨Children can perform operations that involve objects, and they can reason logically as long as reasoning can be applied to specific or concrete examples" (Santrock, 2013).

"Individuals move beyond concrete experiences and think in abstract and more logical terms" (Santrock, 2013). 

Individuals develop more ideal standards and become more systematic. ]]> 2018-10-19 17:26:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kharris77/lwy9nwn6c5oy/wish/294935360 Jean Piaget - Foundational Thinker kharris77 https://padlet.com/kharris77/lwy9nwn6c5oy/wish/294967128 Jean Piaget is known as a child psychologist. He researched young children and their development to better understand human personality and stages of development.  

"Jean Piaget may be termed a foundational thinker. He delved beneath prejudices, biases and encrusted habits in order to uncover the essential well-springs of cognitive life" (Schumaker, 1996).

It is noted that Piaget's work combines learning with life's essential questions, and it is "one of our century's greatest treasures" (Schumaker, 1996).  ]]> 2018-10-19 18:29:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kharris77/lwy9nwn6c5oy/wish/294967128 Piaget's Studies and Data kharris77 https://padlet.com/kharris77/lwy9nwn6c5oy/wish/294990808 Piaget conducted studies and observations that offered information to cognitive development of children. 

Using his own children, Piaget approached the study first by focusing on experiences and qualities of the children. Second, he studied their behavior using questions and hypothesis from his earlier work.  (Levy, 1976). ]]> 2018-10-19 19:28:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kharris77/lwy9nwn6c5oy/wish/294990808 Honorary Degree at Harvard University kharris77 https://padlet.com/kharris77/lwy9nwn6c5oy/wish/294993231 Piaget was awarded an honorary degree at Harvard University in 1936.
