Cognitive Development in Early Childhood
Essay Quiz
1
You are stuck in the middle of an argument among your three best friends concerning cognitive development during early childhood. One of them thinks that Piaget had the best explanations of how children develop; the second believes Vygotsky has the most plausible theory; and the third says that Gelman and information processing offer the best explanations, not to mention criticisms of (especially) Piaget’s theory. Discuss all three of these theories and state which you think makes the most sense and why.
2
Your cousin has told you that it is not an option for her to stay home to be a full-time mother, so she needs to put her child into a day-care setting. She considers you to be a wise person, especially now that you are taking this class in life-span development. What would you suggest to her in terms of finding the best type of day care option for her child?
