perspectives, assimilation and accommodation were proposed by Piaget as the
basic instrument that makes all cognitive changes. Some researchers who adopted
it have focussed on four change instruments that play big roles in cognitive
development such as automatization, encoding, generalization and strategy
construction.
Ways of individual differences such as questions intuitively related to aspects ofintelligence, language, memory, reasoning and problem solving were gauged using
first Binet-Simon test and later revised by Terman on the assumption that not all
children of a given age think and reason at the same level. Measure of infants
information processing has revealed considerable continuity between intelligence in
infancy and intelligence in later childhood. Large majority of research on
intelligence and other areas of cognitive development focuses on individual
childrens behaviour.
Changes in the size, structure, and connection patterns of the brain during the
course of a childs development deeply contribute to changes in childs thinking.
Quantitatively and qualitatively, these occurs in three levels such as changes in the
brain as a whole, changes in particular structure within the brain, and changes in
billions of cells that make up the brain ( neurons ). Some researchers have
suggested that the early surplus of synapses is related to infants and toddlers
acquiring certain kinds of capabilities more effectively than adults.
Social world contribution includes people, artefacts such as books, televisions,
computers, automobiles, etc. Others are cultural heritage like reading, writing,
mathematics, computer programming, video game playing, etc. and the many
values that guide strategies and problem solving efforts in certain directions
(speeds, accuracy, neatness, truthfulness, etc. that gives overarching context of
cognitive development.
