Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Although Piaget’s theories have had a great impact on developmental psychology, his notions have not been fully accepted without critique. Piaget’s theory has some shortcomings, including overestimating the ability of adolescence and underestimating infant’s capacity.

Detailed explanation-2: -By using Piaget’s theory in the classroom, teachers and students benefit in several ways. Teachers develop a better understanding of their students’ thinking. They can also align their teaching strategies with their students’ cognitive level (e.g. motivational set, modeling, and assignments).

Detailed explanation-4: -Piaget’s theory of cognitive development helped add to our understanding of children’s intellectual growth.
