Document Summary
Probably the most cited and known theory of cognitive development in children is that of jean. According to this theory, children go through specific stages as their intellect matures and their ability to perceive relationships of all kinds. These stages take place in a fixed order in all children, and in all countries. However, the age may vary slightly from one child to another. This stage takes place between birth and two years of age. During this period, children begin to understand the information they perceive through their senses and begin to develop their ability to interact with the world. At this stage, children learn to manipulate objects. For this reason, they find so appealing and surprising the game that many adults play with their children, consisting of hiding their face behind an object, such as a cushion, and then reappearing. A game also contributes to learning the permanence of the object.
