What is normal intellectual development?Intellectual development in toddlers and young children was ignored until the 1920’s. It was thought children just didn’t know anything because they did not have life experiences. People like Jean Piaget came along and changed all that.

Through his work, and others like him, it was discovered that children learn and think differently than adults and they follow

a predictable pattern of learning.

Look on pages 322-323 and make a chart of learning throughout the first year.

Page 32

Let’s take a look a Jean Piaget. His work in

studying child development has had a great impact in the field of child development.
