Cognitive
Piaget’s Cognitive Development Theory explains how thinking, reasoning, and problem-solving abilities evolve across the lifespan. It outlines distinct stages of cognitive growth, each characterized by unique ways of understanding the world, adapting to new information, and refining mental structures.
From sensory exploration in infancy to complex abstract reasoning in adulthood, Piaget’s model provides insight into learning processes, intellectual maturity, and cognitive adaptability. Recognizing where an individual stands within this framework aids in understanding their approach to knowledge, decision-making, and problem-solving.
