Jean Piaget

Theorist that grew up in Switzerland . When he was 14 the wrote a paper on mollusk that he submitted to his museum and the curer of the museum
was so impressed that he offered him a job. His three children were his subject for his theories. He took detailed notes on then and watched them very intently.

Piaget's theory:


As human beings we are driven to seek new experiences and new stimulations.

1. Organization.=driving force for learning cycle
2. Adaptation: the process of building schemes through interaction with the environment.

Assimilation:

Accommodation

3. Equilibrium: balance between assimilation and accommodation until we want to try something new and then we are back to organizing.



we are born with cognitive structures and reflexes.

Where does the cycle begin?

We are born with cognitive structures already in place when we are born.

The cycle begins adding to and changing these pre-existing structures.

The first cognitive structures=reflexes
