Summary
The Cognitive theory is concerned with the development of one’s thought processes or basically how the mind acquires knowledge. There are many ideas that make up the cognitive theories—from the developmental theories of Piaget to relatively more recent theories like Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences Theory.
Jean Piaget’s Genetic Epistemology theory has profoundly affected our knowledge of child development. With his background on Biology and Philosophy, he came up with his theoretical framework consisting of stages of cognitive development. The main assumption of Piaget’s theory is that there are cognitive structures called schemas which are “patterns of physical or mental action that underlie specific acts of intelligence and correspond to stages of child development (Genetic Epistemology: J. Piaget, 2008).”
