Development is suggested to take place in sequential stages and children’s thinking is proposed to be different from that of adults. Proponents: e.g., Jean Piaget. >Thinking/Piaget, >Learning, >Learning theory, >Interaction, >Environment._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
