Detailed explanation-1: -According to Piaget, intellectual development takes place through stages which occur in a fixed order and which are universal (all children pass through these stages regardless of social or cultural background). Development can only occur when the brain has matured to a point of “readiness”.
Detailed explanation-2: -Jean Piaget’s theory of cognitive development suggests that children move through four different stages of learning. His theory focuses not only on understanding how children acquire knowledge, but also on understanding the nature of intelligence.1 Piaget’s stages are: Sensorimotor stage: Birth to 2 years.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Theory of Cognitive Development by Jean Piaget, the Swiss psychologist, suggests that children’s intelligence undergoes changes as they grow. Cognitive development in children is not only related to acquiring knowledge, children need to build or develop a mental model of their surrounding world (Miller, 2011).
Detailed explanation-4: -According to Piaget, the stages follow an invariant and universal sequence regardless of culture, however, there are variations in the rate of progress through the cognitive stages, and these variations arise from differences in cultural influence and learning experiences.
