Cognitive theory deals with the development of a person's thought process. Cognitive theory influences how you understand and interact with the world. Cognitive theorist Paiget, proposed an idea that served to provide developmental information to account for the steps and sequence of children's intellect differently than adults. This article will compare and contrast the 3 cognitivist theories: Piaget's cognitive developmental theory, Vygotsky's sociocultural cognitive theory, and the information processing approach in Kermit and the Keyboard. Exploring Cognitivist Theories Human beings can generate knowledge and meaning through the sequential development of individual cognitive abilities. Cognitive skills can apply, analyze, reflect, remember, create, understand, and evaluate. This is considered cognitivism in education. Cognitivists Paiget, Bruner, and Vygotsky devised a learning process that involved learning techniques, procedures, organization, and structure to develop internal cognitive structures that strengthen the brain. Paiget's Theory of Cognitive DevelopmentAn important theory of cognitive development was proposed by psychologist Jean Paiget. His theory states that through four stages of cognitive development, children can actively construct their understanding of the world. Organization and adaptation are two cognitive construction processes in the world. To understand the world, you need to organize your experience. For example, most people separate significant ideas from less significant ones. Allowing an individual to connect one idea to another, allowing them to organize their reviews and life events. People often adapt their thinking to incorporate new ideas because extra information broadens their understanding... middle of paper ......one day they have considered and never gone back to correct the mistake; he constantly made the same mistake. Information processing theory plays a huge role in this story. Each cognitive theory has its effect on the human mind and the way individuals absorb information. Their subscription includes an importance in the vital construction of understanding. All theories pay less attention to individual variation. Paiget and Vygotsky's socio-cultural cognitive theory were very similar. Both believed that children actively construct their knowledge. Kermit (Kermit and the Keyboard) constantly practiced a song and the more mistakes he made, the more he wanted to abandon the song selection. According to Paiget's theory, since Kermit is an adult he has reached the formal stage of development. This led to a formal operational thinking exercise.
