first hit Headnote ABSTRACT A resilience framework for understanding cognitive aging implies a search for factors that buffer against existing risk‚ enabling one to thrive in what might otherwise be adverse circumstances. The cascade of biological processes associated with senescence and a cultural context that does not take into account this biological imperative each create risk for cognitive decline in later adulthood. We propose that (a) engagement‚ a sustained investment in mental stimulation

Jean Piaget (1896-1980) defined play as the child’s efforts to make environmental incentive to match his or her own concepts‚ children adjust and build their mental structures to suit what they are experiencing which he called adaption.

The six substages in order are‚ simple reflexes (First month)‚ first habits and primary circular reactions (1 to 4 months)‚ secondary circular reactions (4 to 8 months)‚ coordination of secondary circular reactions (8 to 12 months)‚ tertiary circular reactions (12 to 18 months)‚ and beginnings of thought (18 to 2 years). Each substage
