Document Summary
The individual and through the environment the person actively constructs mental structures. Underlies what we are going to see. Piaget advances 2 interrelated theories of stage development: stage independent theory. Can be understood as a generalized or established pattern of repeatable behaviour: structure organizational properties of thought and these things determine the natures of our actions. The responses we provide confronted with a dilemma. More generally these structures denote internalized problem solving strategies less mature structures are integrated into more complex ones. 3) memory: operation, assimilation, accommodation, equilibrium, disequilibrium. Ask yourself what is continuous in regards to each process: stage dependent theory. Qualitative changes in cognitive structure: sensory-motor, pre-operational, concrete operational, formal operational. Disequilibrium/equilibrium model illustrates the dynamic interaction between the social (validates the conrtuctuivist approach) Cognitive adaptation and intellectual growth are based on continuous interaction based on experience of the person and internal maturation and the social environment.
