The Concrete Stages Of Children Aged 8-11 Develop Impaired...

During the third concrete operational stage, children aged 8–11 develop cognitively through the use of logic that is based on concrete evidence. Piaget considered this a major turning point in development because it marked the beginning of logical or operational thought. The child is mature enough to use logical thought or operations (rules) but can only apply that logic to physical objects (hence the term concrete operational). They become less egocentric and better at conservation tasks (conservation refers to a logical thinking ability). If two round balls of playdough of exactly the same size are balanced opposite each other on a scale, a child can be shown that they weigh the same. However, if one is squashed and the child is asked†¦show more content†¦If a child has to draw the children to work out the answer they have not yet progressed from the concrete operational and into the formal operational stage. Piaget called his collective theories on child development a genetic epistemology (i.e. the origins of thinking). He also relied on the concept of schemas, defined as the cognitive structures and frameworks through which we understand the world, to help further explain his developmental theories. Piaget was the first psychologist to make a systematic study of cognitive development. His other contributions include detailed observational studies of cognition in children, and a series of simple but ingenious tests to reveal different cognitive abilities. Before Piaget’s work, the common assumption in psychology was that children are merely less competent thinkers than adults. Piaget showed that young children think in strikingly different ways compared to adults. According to Piaget, children are born with a very basic mental structure (genetically inherited and evolved) on which all subsequent learning and knowledge is based. The work of Lev Vygotsky (1934) has become the foundation of much research and theory in cognitive development over the past several decades, particularly of what has become known as Social Development Theory. Vygotsky s theories stress the fundamental role of social interaction in the development of cognition (Vygotsky, 1978), as he believedShow MoreRelatedStephen P. Robbins Timothy A.
