	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].

	Jean Piaget - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Piaget was born in Neuchâtel in the French-speaking part of Switzerland.
		Piaget became a professor of psychology at the University of Geneva from 1929 to 1975 and is best known for reorganizing cognitive development into a series of stages-- the levels of development corresponding to infancy, childhood, and adolescence.
		Piaget also had a considerable impact in the field of computer science and artificial intelligence.

	Piaget’s Theory of Development (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Piaget referred to his view as "constructivism," because he believed that the acquisition of knowledge is a process of continuous self-construction.
		Piaget believed children’s schemes, or logical mental structures, change with age and are initially action-based (sensorimotor) and later move to a mental (operational) level.
		Piaget considered this the ultimate stage of development, and stated that although the children would still have to revise their knowledge base, their way of thinking was as powerful as it would get.

	Piaget - Ebook
		Piaget emphasized the functional quality of assimilation, where children and adults tend to apply any mental structure that is available to assimilate a new event, and actively seek to use this newly acquired mental structure.
		Piaget believed that cognitive development in children is contingent on four factors: biological maturation, experience with the physical environment, experience with the social environment, and equilibration.
		Piaget believed that intellectual development was a lifelong process, but that when formal operational thought was attained, no new structures were needed.

		Jean Piaget was born in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, on August 9, 1896.
		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 was launched on a path that would lead to his doctorate in evolutionary biology and a life-long conviction that the way to understand anything was to understand how it evolves.
		Disciples of Piaget have a tolerance for, indeed, a fascination with, children's primitive laws of physics: that things disappear when they are out of sight; that the moon and the sun follow you around; that big things float and small things sink.
		Piaget was the first to explore a kind of epistemological relativism in which multiple ways of knowing are acknowledged and examined nonjudgmentally, yet with a philosopher's analytic rigor.

	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 clinque, whereby a traditional intelligence test could serve as the basis for a clinical interview (Elkind, 1969).

		Piaget's "genetic epistemology" which showed through a study of child development how concepts and cognitive capacities are developed in a person through human activity in the course of individual growth, grasped the objectivity of concepts established in the mind through subject-object interactivity.
		Piaget's early interests were in zoology, and by the age of 15 his publications on molluscs had gained him a European-wide reputation.
		Piaget's concept of these developmental stages caused a re-evaluation of older ideas of the child, of learning, and of education.

		Jean Piaget was born on August 9, 1896 in Neuchatel, Switzerland and died September 17, 1980.
		Piaget was interested in the thought processes that underlie reasoning and felt that younger children answered differently then their older peers due to the fact that the reasoned differently.
		Piaget probably found that his own children at this age could not reason why their parents felt the way they did, but only reasoned from what the children knew.

	Ernst von Glasersfeld - Homage to Jean Piaget
		Thus, both Piaget and the leading physicists were acknowledging the fact that observers did their observing and explaining in terms of concepts that were their invention.
		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.

	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.

	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 states his main hypothesis, metaphorically, as: "affectivity would play the role of an energy source on which the functioning but not the structures of intelligence would depend.
		Piaget rejects the centrality of affect to all human existence, hence departing from acceptance of Freud, and restates his initial claims that: "All objects are simultaneous cognitive and affective " (p.
		Piaget argues against the conservation of feelings and for their recreation, re-presentation?, or reconstruction in an oscillating intensity within the attentional focus; the development of interpersonal schemes or interaction-pattern schemes emerges with the deployment of language for communication and manipulation of others, along with the concepts of obedience, respect, and seminormative feelings.

		Jean Piaget (August 9, 1896 - September 16, 1980) was a French Swiss developmental psychologist who is most well known for organizing cognitive development into a series of stages.
		Although some of Piaget's ideas are similar to those of Lev Vygotsky, Piaget was apparently unaware of Vygotsky's work.
		These discussions led to the development of the Alto prototype, which explored for the first time all the elements of the GUI, or Graphical User Interface, and influenced the creation of all of the user interfaces which were to appear in the 1980s, the 1990s and beyond.

		Jean Piaget was a Swiss Psychologist and developmental psychologist.
		His genetic epistemology is devoted to a study of the innate developmental stages of children as they relate to their acquisition of knowledge.
		Piaget contended that the mental development of children consists of a succession of three stages: sensorimotor (birth to 18 months) symbolic or preconcrete operational (18 months to 7/8) concrete operational (7/8 to 12).

		Piaget sought to clarify in his work such questions as 'what is the structure of this knowledge'; 'how is it built up?'; 'is the construction process a general one that applies to all sorts of problems the child faces at different ages?'; and so on.
		When infants figure out this 'exception', then Piaget would claim that they have modified their schema of what an object is, and they will then interact with all objects on the basis of this schema.
		Piaget's view is that the structural properties of the processes whereby the child gains a sensorimotor knowledge or a representational knowledge of the relations between places are the same, irrespective of the medium in which that knowledge is constructed.

		Piaget was very interested in knowledge and how children come to know their world.
		Piaget discovered that children think and reason differently at different periods in their lives.
		Piaget asserted that for a child to know and construct knowledge of the world, the child must act on objects and it is this action which provides knowledge of those objects (Sigel, 1977); the mind organizes reality and acts upon it.

	Jean Piaget's Genetic Epistemology: Appreciation and Critique
		Piaget used to believe the first claim, but abandoned it in the early 1970s, when he was faced with evidence that a substantial percentage of college freshmen cannot design and carry out a good pendulum experiment or rod-bending experiment.
		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).

	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.

	Piaget's developmental theory
		Jean Piaget (1896-1980) was a biologist who originally studied molluscs (publishing twenty scientific papers on them by the time he was 21) but moved into the study of the development of children's understanding, through observing them and talking and listening to them while they worked on exercises he set.
		The accumulating evidence is that this scheme is too rigid: many children manage concrete operations earlier than he thought, and some people never attain formal operations (or at least are not called upon to use them).
		Piaget's approach is central to the school of cognitive theory known as "cognitive constructivism": others, known as "social constructivists", such as Vygotsky and Bruner, have laid more emphasis on the part played by language and other people in enabling children to learn.
