3 BASIC COMPONENTS OF COGNITIVE THEORY

(PIAGET)

1. Schemas /schemes – building blocks of knowledge

2. Adaptation – child learning process
3. Stage of cognitive development
- Increase sophistication of child’s thoughts process

SCHEMAS – knowledge acquired by children

- Change –important base level of information about particular event objects and information
 ADAPTATION
 ASSIMILATION
- Application of previous concept to new concept
Ex;
 A child who was just learn the word fish, shout fish upon seing one.

 ACCOMMODATION
People encounter completely new information or when existing ideas are challenged

Sensorimotor -0-2- age the child learns by doing, looking, touching, sucking, the child also has a
primitive understanding of cause and effect relationship object permanence appears around 9 months.

Preoperational-2-7- the child use language and symbols, including letters and numbers egocentrism
is also evident conservation marks the end of the preoperational stage and beginning of concrete
operations.

Concrete operations 7-11- the child demonstrates conservation reversibility, serial ordering, a
mature understanding of cause and effects relationship. Thinking at this stage is still concrete.

Formal operation-12+- the individual demonstrates abstract thinking at this stage is still concrete.
