		He was the oldest child of Arthur Piaget, professor of medieval literature at the University, and of Rebecca Jackson.

	TIME 100: Jean Piaget
		Jean Piaget, the pioneering Swiss philosopher and psychologist, spent much of his professional life listening to children, watching children and poring over reports of researchers around the world who were doing the same.
		He has been revered by generations of teachers inspired by the belief that children are not empty vessels to be filled with knowledge (as traditional pedagogical theory had it) but active builders of knowledge — little scientists who are constantly creating and testing their own theories of the world.
		Piaget was launched on a path that would lead to his doctorate in zoology and a lifelong conviction that the way to understand anything is to understand how it evolves.

	Ernst von Glasersfeld - Homage to Jean Piaget
		Jean Piaget was born in Neuchâtel in August 1896.
		Piaget was the first methodically to employ this notion in psychology and to proceed on the assumption that our ideas are individual creations (and that their mutual compatibility with those of others has to be achieved by social interaction).
		Piaget came to this conclusion, not as a physicist, not as a psychologist, but as a biologist.

	Biography of Jean Piaget
		Jean Piaget was born in Neuchâtel, Switzerland on August 9th, 1896, the eldest child to Arthur Piaget (a professor of medieval literature at the University) and Rebecca Jackson (who was a devout Calvinist).
		Piaget soon found that he was more interested in the mistakes children made on such IQ tests, rather than their correct responses.
		Piaget's theory stated that children moved through distinct stages in their development of knowledge and that the order of these stages were fixed - a child in an early stage could not suddenly 'jump' to a much later stage.

	Human Intelligence: Jean Piaget
		Jean Piaget was a precocious child who demonstrated a keen interest in animal life and an encyclopedic knowledge of biology and taxonomy.
		Piaget eventually came to believe that intelligence is a form of adaptation, wherein knowledge is constructed by each individual through the two complementary processes of assimilation and accommodation.
		Piaget suggested that one way to reconcile these two approaches would be to adopt a method clinique, whereby a traditional intelligence test could serve as the basis for a clinical interview (Elkind, 1969).

	Jean Piaget's Genetic Epistemology
		Piaget is testing not the child's ability to solve math problems, but his ability to solve spatial relationships that are a precursor to true understanding of mathematical operations.
		Piaget examined this specifically through the use of objects with obvious cardinal components; each is made of a clear number of counters (pieces), and all are of different shapes.
		Piaget realized that the time periods of the stages vary by child and environment; thus, the environment should be set up in a way so as to maximize the speed of advancement and understanding [2].

	Funderstanding - Piaget
		Swiss biologist and psychologist Jean Piaget (1896-1980) is renowned for constructing a highly influential model of child development and learning.
		Piaget's theory is based on the idea that the developing child builds cognitive structures--in other words, mental "maps," schemes, or networked concepts for understanding and responding to physical experiences within his or her environment.
		Piaget further attested that a child's cognitive structure increases in sophistication with development, moving from a few innate reflexes such as crying and sucking to highly complex mental activities.

		Piaget saw adaptation, however, as a good deal broader than the kind of learning that Behaviorists in the US were talking about.
		According to Piaget, they are directed at a balance between the structure of the mind and the environment, at a certain congruency between the two, that would indicate that you have a good (or at least good-enough) model of the universe.
		Piaget did a study to investigate this phenomenon called the mountains study.

	Educational Psychology Interactive: Cognitive Development
		Jean Piaget (1896-1980) was one of the most influential researchers in the area of developmental psychology during the 20th century.
		As a biologist, Piaget was interested in how an organism adapts to its environment (Piaget described as intelligence.) Behavior (adaptation to the environment) is controlled through mental organizations called schemes that the individual uses to represent the world and designate action.
		Piaget hypothesized that infants are born with schemes operating at birth that he called "reflexes." In other animals, these reflexes control behavior throughout life.

		Piaget's theory has two main strands: first, an account of the mechanisms by which cognitive development takes place; and second, an account of the four main stages of cognitive development through which children pass.
		The basic principle underlying Piaget's theory is the principle of equilibration: all cognitive development (including both intellectual and affective development) progresses towards increasingly complex and stable levels of organization (cf.
		Piaget suggested that there are four main stages in the cognitive development of children.

		Piaget thought that these quantitative tests were too rigid and saw that children's incorrect answers better revealed their qualitative thinking at various stages of development.
		Piaget believed that children's concepts through at least the first three stages differ from those of adults and are based on actively exploring the environment rather than on language understanding.
		Piaget's theories developed over years as refinements and further explanations and experiments were performed, but these refinements did not alter his basic beliefs or theories.

	Jean Piaget's Genetic Epistemology: Appreciation and Critique
		While Piaget absorbed her political worldview--as a teenager, Piaget was active in Christian Socialist groups, and anticapitalistic remarks occasionally surface in his sociological writings--he admitted later in life that he devoted so much time to his studies in part because they enabled him to get out of the house when he was a child.
		Piaget did suggest that beyond formal operations, there are postformal operations, or "operations to the nth power." Inevitably these would be of a highly specialized nature, and might be found in the thinking of professional mathematicians or experts in some other fields [note 19].
		Piaget thought we must impute the kinds of logical and mathematical structures that are typical of concrete operations (structures that have the property of reversibility) in order to have an understanding of causal mechanism (roughly, the specific means by which cause and effect are related).
