Jean Piaget: Cognitive Stage Theory

Posted: September 19, 2009 at 9:21 pm by

Departing from Freud and Psychoanalysis, Jean Piaget developed his own theories and focused on child development. A very intelligent man, Piaget wrote an estimated 40 books on child development and became well known as an expert. His Cognitive Stage Theory offers a more constructive look at childhood development than other professionals of his time. Piaget devised a theory which accounted for the abilities children held at different ages. This allowed researchers to devise a standard by which to measure children. Piaget’s Cognitive State Theory became well known, and is still used today.
