Document Summary
He did not get paid for publishing scientific papers on this: worker part time with kids at binet institute. Administered various types of reasoning tasks for children of different ages. He became interested in cognitive development: by studying children, he became intrigued by the mistakes (reasoning) they would make on cognitive tests. He thought this was important, and told him something about how cognitive abilities develop. He spent the next 60 years of his life doing this. At this stage infants cannot represent objects in thought. They can only respond to what they see, hear, and touch. They lack an understanding object permanence: objects continue to exist even when they cannot be seen. When you cover up a toy infant believes the toy no longer exists: preoperational stage. Abstract ideas about what a group of objects has in common: rely on one property to define a concept. Child sees mom going to the hospital.
