DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE THEORIES:
Theories that divide child development into stages.
Stages are characterised by qualitative differences in behaviour.
PIAGET (1896-1980) = developed theory where kids come to an understanding of
their interactions with environment through building of cognitive structures, which
increases sophistication & complexity as child develops
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
Piaget’s 1936 theory of cognitive development = how child constructs mental model
of the world.
Disagreed that intelligence was fixed & that kids are less competent than adults
Showed = young kids think in different ways to adults
Knowledge though senses & actions
Kids develop understanding of world around them using their senses (sensori) &
physical abilities (‘motor’ capacities)
Object permanence develops through sub-stages (ability to recognise that objects
continue to exist even when they’re not visible). Those who haven’t acquired this
development find peek-a-boo exciting.
STAGE 2 = Pre-operational stage
Child’s thinking is dominated by perception rather than logics
Lack of conservation – unable to understand that any quantity (e.g. number, liquid
vol, length) remains same regardless of physical distortions. Demonstrated in the
‘volume & length conservation tasks’
