Essay / Research Paper Abstract
(5 pp). Jean Piaget wanted to understand how kids
think. His reasoning was that, if he observed
children's cognitive skills development carefully
some patterns would develop. Recording and being
aware of those patterns would then help him make
some decisions about how we think and accrue
knowledge as adults.This discussion will consider
Piaget's theories of development for middle
childhood. And for the sake of discussion we will
define the age of that child between 7 to 11.
It should be noted that humans, particularly
children, seldom fit in any given development
category one hundred percent of the time.

according to Duffy (1996), of development for middle childhood. And for the sake of discussion we will define the age of that child between 7 to 11. It
should be noted that humans, particularly children, seldom fit in any given development category one hundred percent of the time. These age boundaries need to be viewed as fluid
structures, with overlaps from one group to the next. Genetically determined stages of learning Piaget formulated his ideas around childhood development, by observing that certain types of thinking happened at
a certain time in a childs life based on certain qualitative processes. Maturation The bottom line of
his development theory is that certain developments are related to biology. For example our middle childhood student by the age of seven will usually begin to recognize numbers. He
will easily know his own address and recognize it on mail. He will start to have a concept of space - how much milk will fit in what size
glass. He will have some organizational skills - all the sweaters in one drawer, the underwear in another. And he will be able to apply some logic to
making decisions. He knows that Mom likes to sleep later on Sunday, and if he wakes her up at the regular Time - the time when he gets ready
for school, it may make her cross, and she probably will not feel like taking him to the park later. Active Experience This same child has learned through
