He was employed to take the age of which children answered each question correctly perfecting the norms for the IQ test. Although the wrong answers took Piagets attention and came to a conclusion that the way children think is a lot more revealing than what they know. Piaget used the methods of scientific

children‚ testing which Piaget stage they were in‚ and using our knowledge in psychology to place them in the correct stage in development. The first stage is the sensorimotor stage which occurs during early childhood between birth and approximately age two. During the sensorimotor stage‚ an infant’s knowledge of the world is limited to his or her sensory perceptions and motor activities. Behaviors are limited to simple motor responses caused by sensory stimuli. Children utilize skills and abilities they

His particular insight was the role of maturation in children’s increasing capacity to understand their world: they cannot undertake certain tasks until they are psychologically mature enough to do so. He proposed that children’s thinking does not develop entirely smoothly: instead‚ there are certain points at which it “takes off” and moves into completely

Motor Skill Development Growth changes significantly during elementary. Most of these changes can be attributed to the changes in the skeletal‚ muscular system and some body organs. Most children grow an average of 2 to 3 inches per year. By the age of 11 girls stand 4 feet‚ 10 ¾ inches‚ while boys stand 4 feet‚ 9 inches in height and both girls and boys gain between 5 and 7 pounds in weight.
