Recommended: Summary on cognitive development

After getting a chance to take ECH 320 online, I was able to get an understanding of what is the meaning of cognitive development in a young child. Cognitive development is when a child is learning thought process and how to solve problems.

Just like I had mentioned in my assignment I was able to take my learning’s from the course and even just Piaget’s theory on sensorimotor sub stages and be able to start to live my purpose through teaching young minds.

Throughout this lab report, there will be questions asked of two young children. The first child’s name is Makayla. She is 9 years old and has just started fourth grade. The first Piagetian task that was given to the children is referred to as the conservation of mass task. During this task, the children rolled two equal amounts of play dough into two separate balls. Afterward, Makayla was asked if these two separate balls had the same amount of play dough. She responded yes, because they came from the same container so they are the same amounts. The children were then asked to roll one ball of play dough into a snake. Afterward, Makayla was asked if the ball and the snake had the same amount of play dough.

    Robert V. Kail addresses the increasing synergy of global and domain-specific theories in his article “Cognitive Development Includes Global and Domain-Specific Processes.” Kail is a part of the Department of Psychological Studies at Purdue University, and his aim in the article is to “present evidence suggesting that both global and domain-specific processes make important contributions to cognitive development” (Kail 445). In order to arrive at his conclusion, Kail highlights the flaws of an either/or system; critiques the advantages and disadvantages of global and domain specific theories separately; provides context for how these two theories have coexisted in the past; and finally arrives to his evaluation on the two theories working together
