Document Summary

Piaget did not conduct formal experiments; he looked at loosely structured interviews. He wanted to properly understand the thought processes of children. Realized that it was difficult for certain children to solve certain problems not because they were not intelligent, but because certain milestones were not met. Piaget believed that children came up with schemas. Organized units of knowledge about objects, events, and actions. Involves two processes: assimilation: incorporating new knowledge in terms of experiences that are present already. Ex: growing up all you saw were black dogs, then one day you see a white dog. It is through accommodation that the number and complexity of a child"s schemas increase and learning occurs. Cognition at this stage is closely tied to external stimulation, and understanding characteristics of objects. Seeing things from their point of view. Learns how to use symbols, especially language. Increased ability to perform logical operations (when concrete) and emergence of empathy.
