Well, as we all know, Jean Piaget was a very important person in our history. Piaget was born on August 9, 1896. Piaget died of unknown causes on September 16, 1986. We would like to think that he died of old age. He was born to Arthur Piaget and Rebecca Jackson in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. His mother was a very kind and energetic woman, but she had small character problems and this made family life very difficult in the Piaget family home. One of the main things used to inspire Piaget's desire to think cognitively was his mother's mental disorders. It was also at this time that he became interested in pathological psychology. His father was a man very dedicated to his writings of medieval literature. At just 11 years old, Piaget was already beginning his research career, as he had recently written a short article on an albino sparrow. Soon after, he continued to study natural sciences and also received his doctorate. in zoology from the University of Neuchâtel in 1918. Piaget worked at the Institut Binet in 1920. As a worker there, his job was to develop French versions of questions on English tests. He quickly became amazed as he attempted to find answers to why children gave wrong answers to very logical questions. These findings gave Piaget pause, as he believed that children were born with a basic mental brain structure based on evolved learning and knowledge. He believed that these responses given by children revealed that there are very important differences in the way adults and children think. Piaget quickly became the first psychologist to propose a systematic study of cognitive development in 1936. Piaget had a very quick...... middle of paper ...... see how different speeds of thought unfold in a mind of 'child. There were tests to show the strength and imagination of a child's mind. The different strengths and complexities of different children's minds ranged from very simple to very complex. Children placed in the formal operational phase approach their tasks by systematically testing a single variable. When younger children did the experiment, they realized that they would move two objects at the same time instead of just one at a time. At the end of Piaget's experiment, his theory concluded that children's way of thinking and that of adults had a great impact on both psychology and education, even Albert Einstein described it as quite a discovery simple that only a genius could have discovered.
