Theory of cognitive development is a
comprehensive theory about the nature
and development of human intelligence.
Known as Developmental Stage Theory.
COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENTAL THEORy
04/13/2023 4
It deals with the nature of
knowledge itself and how humans
come gradually to acquire it,
construct it, and use it.

Jean Piaget
August 9 1896 – September 16 1980
04/13/2023 7
Reality is a dynamic system of continuous change.
He argued that reality involves transformations and
states. Transformations refer to all manners of changes
that a thing or person can undergo. States refer to the
conditions or the appearances in which things or
persons can be found between transformations.
Human intelligence is adaptive. Two types of
intelligence, namely
Operative intelligence
Figurative intelligence
NATURE OF INTELLIGENCE - Piaget
04/13/2023 8
Operative intelligence involves all actions, overt or
covert, undertaken in order to follow, recover, or
anticipate the transformations of the objects or
persons of interest.
Figurative intelligence is the more or less static
aspect of intelligence, involving all means of
representation used to retain in mind the states (i.e.,
successive forms, shapes, or locations) that intervene
between transformations. That is, it involves
perception, imitation, mental imagery, drawing, and
language.
NATURE OF INTELLIGENCE - Piaget
04/13/2023 9
Piaget believed that this process of understanding and change involves two basic functions: Assimilation and accommodation:
Assimilation is the process of taking one’s environment and new information and fitting it into pre-existing cognitive schemas.
Accommodation, unlike assimilation is the process of taking one's environment and new information, and altering one's pre-existing schemas in order to fit in the new information.

Key concepts are,
Schema
Assimilation
Accommodation
Adaptation
Equilibrium

STAGE I: THE SENSORIMOTOR STAGE
STAGE II: PREOPERATIONAL STAGE
STAGE III: CONCRETE OPERATIONAL STAGE
STAGE IV: FORMAL OPERATIONAL STAGE
FOUR STAGES OF PIAGET’S THEORY
04/13/2023 12
FOUR STAGES OF PIAGET’S THEORY
04/13/2023 13
Occurs from birth
to approximately 2 years old.
The child tries to make sense of the
world during this stage, and as the
name suggests, only senses and
motor abilities are used to do so.
STAGE I: THE SENSORIMOTOR STAGE
04/13/2023 14
The child utilizes innate behaviours to enhance this learning process, such as sucking, looking, grasping, crying and listening.
STAGE I: THE SENSORIMOTOR STAGE
04/13/2023 15
The sub-stages are as follow,
1. Reflexes (0-1 month)
2. Primary Circular Actions (1-4 months)
3. Secondary Circular Reactions.
4. Co-ordination of Secondary Circular
Reactions (8-12 months)
5. Tertiary Circular Reactions (12-18 months)
6. Symbolic/Mental Representation (18-24
months)
04/13/2023 16
Stage 1 (0-1 month) Reflexes
Child uses only innate reflexes.
Many reflexes like reaching, grasping, sucking all operating independently.
These reflexes will have the sole function of keeping the child alive.
04/13/2023 17
Stage 2 (1-4 months)
Stage of Primary Circular Reactions.
Circular- repetition.
Primary- centre on infant's own body
Child now has a fixation with it’s own body with
regards to behaviour.
They will perform actions repeatedly on themselves
They also begin to refine reflexes here to form more
complex versions of them.
Example: thumb-sucking.
04/13/2023 18
Stage 3 (4-8 months)
Stage of Secondary Circular Reactions
Child begins to take an interest in
their environment
They notice that they can actually influence
events in their world.
Infant will not make conscious connections
between what they do and the consequences,
they merely observe that their actions have
interesting effects.
04/13/2023 19
Stage 4 (8-12 months)
Co-ordination of Secondary Circular Reactions
Child begins to engage in goal-directed behavior.
Begin to develop cause-effect relationships. The child effectively knows that their
behavior will have a certain consequence. At this stage, object
permanence is acquired.
04/13/2023 20
Stage 5 (12-18 months)
Stage of Tertiary Circular Reactions.
At this stage, children like to use
creativity and flexibility with their
previous behaviors.
Result of their experimentation often
leads to different outcomes.
04/13/2023 21
Stage 6 (18-24 months)
Symbolic/Mental Representation.
At this stage, the child develops symbolic
thought and the ability to mentally represent
objects in their head.
Normally, the child would need to resort to trial-
and-error to achieve a desired effect.
Child can ‘plan’ to some extent and mentally
construct the consequences of an action in their
head.
Predictions are not always accurate, but it is a
step up from trial-and-error.
04/13/2023 22
Stage 6 (18-24 months) Sensory-motor period culminates with the
emergence of the Symbolic function.
An idea or mental image is used to stand-in for a perceptually absent object.
Trial-and-error problem solving does not need to enacted but can undertaken through mental combination.
04/13/2023 23
MENTAL REPRESENTATION IN CHILDREN
Object permanence
Object permanence is when
objects exist even when out of sight.
04/13/2023 24
DEVELOPMENT OF OBJECT PERMANENCE
04/13/2023 25
Object permanence
04/13/2023 26
Deferred imitation
Deferred imitation is simply the
imitation of behaviour a child has seen
before.
04/13/2023 27
Imitation in Infants
04/13/2023 28
(Pre)Operatory Thought is any
procedure for mentally acting on objects.
The hallmark of the preoperational stage
is sparse and logically inadequate mental
operations.
STAGE II: PREOPERATIONAL STAGE
04/13/2023 29
Child learns to use and to represent objects by
images, words, and drawings.
Child is able to form stable concepts as well as
mental reasoning and magical beliefs.
Child however is still not able to perform
operations; tasks that the child can do mentally
rather than physically.
Thinking is egocentric
Child has difficulty taking the viewpoint of others.
STAGE II: PREOPERATIONAL STAGE
04/13/2023 30
Two substages are,
1. The symbolic function substage.
2. The intuitive thought substage.
STAGE II: PREOPERATIONAL STAGE
04/13/2023 31
Occurs between about the ages of 2 and 7.
During 2-4 years old, kids cannot yet manipulate
and transform information in logical ways, but
they now can think in images and symbols.
The child is able to formulate designs of objects
that are not present.
Although there is an advancement in progress,
there are still limitations such as egocentrism
and animism.
The symbolic function substage
04/13/2023 32
Egocentrism occurs when a child is unable to distinguish between their own perspective and that of another person's.
Children tend to pick their own view of what they see rather than the actual view shown to others.
An example is an experiment performed by Piaget and Barbel Inhelder. Three views of a mountain are shown and the child is asked what a traveling doll would see at the various angles; the child picks their own view compared to the actual view of the doll.
The symbolic function substage
04/13/2023 33
The symbolic function substage
04/13/2023 34
Animism is the belief that inanimate objects are capable of actions and have lifelike qualities. An example is a child believing that the sidewalk was mad and made them fall down
04/13/2023 35
The Intuitive Thought Substage Occurs between about the ages of 4 and 7. Children tend to become very curious and
ask many questions; begin the use of primitive reasoning.
There is an emergence in the interest of reasoning and wanting to know why things are the way they are. Piaget called it the intuitive substage because children realize they have a vast amount of knowledge but they are unaware of how they know it.
Centration and conservation are both involved in preoperative thought.
04/13/2023 36
Piaget's theory of cognitive development.mp4
04/13/2023 37
Children tend to centre/focus upon one aspect of a situation and not take into account others. Pre-operational children tended to say there was more liquid in C as they focused on height
04/13/2023 38
Occurs between the ages of 7 and 11 years
Characterized by the appropriate use of
logic.
During this stage, a child's thought processes
become more mature and "adult like."
STAGE III: CONCRETE OPERATIONAL STAGE
04/13/2023 39
Conservation
Decentering
Reversibilty
Serriation
Transitivity
Classification
Elimination of egocentrism
Logic
IMPORTANT PROCESSES IN CONCRETE OPERATIONAL STAGE
04/13/2023 40
Conservation
The understanding that although an object’s appearance changes, it still stays the same in quantity. Redistributing an object does not affect its mass, number, or volume. For example, a child understands that when you pour a liquid into a different shaped glass, the amount of liquid stays the same.
Decentering
The child now takes into account multiple aspects of a problem to solve it. For example, the child will no longer perceive an exceptionally wide but short cup to contain less than a normally wide, taller cup.
Important processes
04/13/2023 41
ReversibilityThe child now understands that numbers
or objects can be changed and then returned to their original state. For example, during this stage, a child understands that his or her favorite ball that deflates is not gone and can be filled with air and put back into play again. Another example would be that the child realizes that a ball of clay, once flattened, can be made into a ball of clay again.
SerriationThe ability to sort objects in an order
according to size, shape, or any other characteristic. For example, if given different-shaded objects they may make a color gradient.
04/13/2023 42
TransitivityTransitivity, which refers to the ability
to recognize relationships among various things in a serial order. For example, when told to put away his books according to height, the child recognizes that he starts with placing the tallest one on one end of the bookshelf and the shortest one ends up at the other end.
ClassificationThe ability to name and identify sets of
objects according to appearance, size or other characteristic, including the idea that one set of objects can include another.
04/13/2023 43
Elimination of Egocentrism
The ability to view things from another's
perspective (even if they think incorrectly). Children
in this stage can, however, only solve problems that
apply to actual (concrete) objects or events, and not
abstract concepts or hypothetical tasks.
Understanding and knowing how to use full common
sense has not been completely adapted yet.
04/13/2023 44
They start solving problems in a more logical
fashion.
Children can only solve problems that apply to
concrete events or objects.
Children in this stage commonly experience
difficulties with figuring out logic in their heads.
STAGE III: CONCRETE OPERATIONAL STAGE
04/13/2023 45
Children are able to incorporate inductive
reasoning. Inductive reasoning involves drawing
inferences from observations in order to make a
generalization.
Deductive reasoning, which involves using a
generalized principle in order to try to predict the
outcome of an event.
STAGE III: CONCRETE OPERATIONAL STAGE
04/13/2023 46
Milestones of the concrete operational stage
Ability to distinguish between their own
thoughts and the thoughts of others.
Increased classification skills
Ability to think logically about objects and
events.
Ability to fluently perform mathematical
problems in both addition and subtraction.
04/13/2023 47
Commences at around 11 years of age (puberty)
continues into adulthood.
Individuals move beyond concrete experiences
and begin to think abstractly, reason logically
and draw conclusions from the information
available, as well as apply all these processes to
hypothetical situations.
STAGE IV: FORMAL OPERATIONAL STAGE
04/13/2023 48
Solve problems in a trial-and-error fashion.
Adolescents begin to think more as a
scientist thinks, devising plans to solve
problems and systematically testing
solutions.
04/13/2023 49
STAGE IV: FORMAL OPERATIONAL STAGE
•They use hypothetical-deductive
reasoning, which means that they
develop hypotheses or best guesses,
and systematically deduce, or
conclude, which is the best path to
follow in solving the problem.
04/13/2023 50
During this stage the adolescent is able to
understand such things as love, "shades of
gray", logical proofs and values.
During this stage the young person begins
to entertain possibilities for the future and is
fascinated with what they can be.
04/13/2023 51
Adolescent Egocentrism governs the way that
adolescents think about social matters and is
the heightened self-consciousness in them as
they are which is reflected in their sense of
personal uniqueness and invincibility.
Adolescent egocentrism can be dissected into
two types of social thinking.
◦ Imaginary audience that involves attention getting
behavio
◦ Personal fable which involves an adolescent's
sense of personal uniqueness and invincibility.
04/13/2023 52
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
Parents can use Piaget's theory when
deciding how to support what to buy in
order to support their child's growth.
Teachers can use this when discussing
whether the syllabus subjects are suitable
for the level of students or not.
04/13/2023 53
Teacher who work with children in both the
preoperational and the concrete operational levels
of cognitive development should adopt suitable
academic expectations with regard to children's
cognitive developmental abilities.
The need for educators to individualize and adopt
appropriate academic expectations appears to be
most relevant for children at the first-grade level.
04/13/2023 54
STRENGTHS OF PIAGET’S THEORY
Piaget was an inspiration to many who came
after and took up his ideas.
Piaget's ideas have generated a huge
amount of research which has increased our
understanding of cognitive development.
His ideas have been of practical use in
understanding and communicating with
children, particularly in the field of education
(re: Discovery Learning).
04/13/2023 55
Weaknesses Progress to the formal operational stage is
not guaranteed. Piaget failed to consider the effect that the
social setting and culture may have on cognitive development.
Piaget’s methods (observation and clinical interviews) are more open to biased interpretation than other methods. Because Piaget conducted the observations alone data collect are based on his own subjective interpretation of events.
04/13/2023 56
Piaget underestimated the abilities of children because his tests were sometimes confusing or difficult to understand.
The concept of schema is incompatible with the theories of Bruner and Vygotsky.
Behaviorism would also refute Piaget’s schema theory because is cannot be directly observed as it is an internal process.
Piaget carried out his studies with a handful of participants. This sample is biased, and accordingly the results of these studies cannot be generalized to children from different cultures.

EXTENSIONS OF PIAGET'S THEORY
04/13/2023 58
Children’s thinking is affected by their knowledge of the social community (which is learnt from either technical or psychological cultural tools).
Language is the most important tool for gaining this social knowledge; the child can be taught this from other people via language.
Intelligence as “the capacity to learn from instruction”.
Need for a more knowledgable other person or ‘teacher’. He referred to them as just that: the More Knowledgable Other (MKO). MKO’s can be parents, adults, teachers, coaches, experts/professionals, other children, friends and computers.
LEV VYGOTSKY’S COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENTAL THEORY
04/13/2023 59
He described zone of proximal development (ZPD), as a key feature of his theory. There are two levels of attainment for the ZPD:◦Level 1 – the ‘present level of
development’. This describes what the child is capable of doing without any help from others.
◦Level 2 – the ‘potential level of development’. This means what the child could potentially be capable of with help from other people or ‘teachers’.
◦The gap between level 1 and 2 (the present and potential development) is what Vygotsky described as this zone of proximal development.
04/13/2023 60
Vygotsky looked at the role of
egocentric/private speech. This is, for
example, when a child will sit on their own
and speak their thoughts out loud as they
play.
This verbal thinking forms the basis for
higher level, more abstract thinking
(planning, reasoning, memorising,
evaluating).
04/13/2023 61
Summary of vygotsky’s theory
Emphasized the role of a teacher in cognitive development, and the need to have support from a More Knowledgable Other, or MKO.
The zone of proximal development, or ZPD, differentiates between a learner’s current development and their potential development when being taught from a MKO.
Scaffolding provides an effective way to reach potential levels of development, but only when different levels of assistance are given when required.
Social and cultural tools are an important means of gaining intelligence.
There is a close link between the acquisition of language and the development of thinking.
Internalising monologues, and therefore becoming a verbal thinker, is a stepping stone to higher levels of thinking.

Piaget vs.Vygotsky.
Similarities & Differences.
Jean Piaget Lev Vygotsky
Learning is… Solitary Social
What drives development…?
Maturation, conflict Enjoyment from others, motivates more learning.
Role of language… Thought drives language Language drives thought
Role of biology… Maturation dictates pace of cognitive development
Elementary functions are innate.
Child is active… Child actively organises cognitive schemas to maintain equilibrium.
Child is active in providing feedback to the parent/instructor.
