There have been many people to contribute to the psychology, one being Jean Piaget. Piaget attended college in the town he was born in, Neuchatel, Switzerland where he received a doctorate in biology at the age of 22. He then became very interested in psychology and being to research and study this subject. Piaget and Freud, another developmental stage theorist, had similar beliefs when it came to psychology and how people developed. However, Piaget was a cognitive theorist and his focus was mainly
Jean Piaget and Lev Vygostky developed theories that addressed cognitive development and learning in childhood, and adolescence.

Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky both have very different yet similar views about the child and tenets within their theoretical perspectives. While Piaget sees children as upcoming scientists, many discoveries found were attained at each of his four stages. Vygotsky views the childas competent who is capable and the childs development is led by learning. Though Vygotsky puts huge emphasis
From birth to two, children go through the sensorimotor stage, experiencing the world through the senses; they look, hear, and touch. 1b. Object permanence is the awareness that things continue to exist even when they are no longer being perceived. Jean Piaget’s explanation for the infant’s lack of object permanence is that prior to six months old, the brain is still undeveloped and cannot understand that the object
As human beings age they go through many stages of physical and mental development. Psychologists have broken these stages of development down in different ways based on what aspect of the mind is being studied. Jean Piaget, the first to officially study cognitive development, theorized that there were four main stages of development throughout life. Those stages are the sensorimotor stage, between birth and age two, the preoperational stage, ages two to seven, the concrete operational stage, ages
