COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT IN CHILDREN
\nCOGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT IN CHILDREN
\nOne rainy morning, as I observed in our laboratory preschool,
\nLeslie, the children\u2019s teacher, joined me at the back of the room.
\n\u201cPreschoolers\u2019 minds are such a blend of logic, fantasy, and faulty
\nreasoning,\u201d Leslie reflected. \u201cEvery day, I\u2019m startled by the maturity
\nand originality of what they say and do. Yet at other times, their
\nthinking seems limited and inflexible.\u201d
\nLeslie\u2019s comments sum up the puzzling contradictions of early
\nchildhood cognition. Hearing a loud thunderclap outside, 3-yearold Sammy exclaimed, \u201cA magic man turned on the thunder!\u201d
\nEven after Leslie explained that thunder is caused by lightning,
\nnot by a person turning it on, Sammy persisted: \u201cThen a magic
\nlady did it.\u201d
\nIn other respects, Sammy\u2019s thinking was surprisingly advanced. At
\nsnack time, he accurately counted, \u201cOne, two, three, four!\u201d and
\nthen got four cartons of milk, one for each child at his table. But
\nwhen his snack group included more than four children, Sammy\u2019s
\ncounting broke down. And after Priti dumped out her raisins,
\nscattering them in front of her on the table, Sammy asked, \u201cHow
\ncome you got lots, and I only got this little bit?\u201d He didn\u2019t realize
\nthat he had just as many raisins; his were simply all bunched up in
\na tiny red box. COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT IN CHILDREN.
\nTo understand Sammy\u2019s reasoning, we turn first to Piaget\u2019s and
\nVygotsky\u2019s theories and evidence highlighting the strengths and<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
