For example, what a child can do at age eight is more complex than what a child can do at age four. Piaget was a scientist, a biologist, to be
precise. Kamii (1979), however, states that he is an epistemologist because he focused on how knowledge was acquired. Some have called Piaget revolutionary. He provided a new framework for development
and learning. His stages of cognitive development showed that each level of development is encompassed in each higher level of development (Kamii, 1979). This author explains that the child does
not go back to earlier ways of thinking once they have gained higher skills. For example, once a child has achieved the concept of conservation, he will not return to
the thought a glass has more water in it because it is taller than the other glass. It may be taller but it is skinnier (Kamii, 1979). Kamii (1979) points
out that Piaget is an interactionist insofar as he believed knowledge comes from the interaction between the object in the environment and the knowledge the person brings. He is also
a constructivist in that the person observes and constructs knowledge based on what he already knows. A delay in any of the developmental processes would lead to learning disabilities. The
child also needs to have a basis for logico-mathematical knowledge. This type of knowledge comes from within the child and allows the child to see or understand relationships, such as
less, more, different, same as related to objects (Kamii, 1979). Swanson (1987) discusses the differences between learning disabled and non-learning disabled children in terms of information processing. The learning processing
theory suggests that that learning disabled students have problems with this task. The theory proposes that all learners learn through stages of cognition, which include organizing, retrieving, encoding, storing, comparing
