William Perry Correct Answer: He is known for his work in adult cognitive development,
specifically with college students. He worked a lot with the concept of "dualistic thinking"
among college students, where everything is either black or white. (Memory technique: think of
Katy Perry's song Hot and Cold to associate Perry with dualism.)
Ed Neukrug Correct Answer: Also a cognitive developmentalist. His work is similar to Perry's.

but gradually get to a more relativistic way of thinking and realize that answers exist that are
relative to a given situation. (Memory technique: "What do you THINK about Ed nuking the

Operational stage 7-11 years)

physical world. An example of a symbolic schema is when a child uses a pie plate as a steering
wheel (because it fits into the schema they have created for "Steering Wheel") This occurs in the
Preoperational Stage.

research supports Piaget's principle of conservation, with mass being the first and most easily
