Document Summary
Piagetian assumptions about cognitive development: notion of stages and development discontinuity (fundamental difference between stages). The way that you are capable of thinking is completely different at each stage: cognitive development by total overhaul everything is changing at each stage. He had a very large interest in children"s minds. He studies how babies develop the concept of object permanence (objects continues to exist when they are not seen). Piaget claimed that only babies who are 12 months will understand that object exists even when not in the room. When infants are puzzled by events, they tend to look at them longer. The kid in the video does not think that the event is possible (train and box) and therefore stares at it. Children"s physical knowledge is much richer and sophisticated than what people thought (piaget). Babies motor systems in the rst 6 months of life are not that good.
