Observational taxonomy, as it relates to the nature of early social interactions, is a classification system that uses a code of different behaviors observed when observing children on and off game and which is further divided into cognitive and social categories. Among the many theorists, Mildred Parten and Jean Piaget are important in the field of early observational studies involving children in an atmosphere of free play. Parten asserted that the social participation of preschoolers increased as the child grew older (Parten 1932). To support her logic, she classified play into six distinct categories of social participation, namely idle behavior, solitary play, spectator behavior, parallel play, associative play, and cooperative play (Parten 1932). In particular, Parten refers to solitary play as the child playing away from other children at a distance of 3 feet or more. For example, this can be represented through a scenario in which a group of children are playing with a ball and a single child sitting away from this crowd is simply mingling with a doll. Conversely, parallel play, as Parten points out, occurs when a child plays independently, while placing themselves in close proximity to others while practicing a similar, if not the same, act. Additionally, Parten describes group play as when children all play collectively for a mutual goal. By carefully studying and understanding these social games to a large extent, one can see that there is definitely an overlap between social and cognitive games. Parten observed that parallel play begins between 2.5 and 3.5 years of age and associative play begins between 3.5 and 4.5 years of age. Unlike Parten, Piaget, a cognitive theorist, strongly proclaimed that play was based on the senses... in the middle of a sheet... and controlling classmates. She ran past one of them and grabbed a piece of tape. Similarly, when told to clean up and go on the carpet, Robert becomes rebellious by intentionally dropping the glue and laughing, something he was told not to do at first. The difference between Robert and Ariel, in my opinion, could be due to maturity and maturity. culture. Parten teaches us that the older children are, the more socially inclined they become. Culture plays an important role in the development of socialization behaviors in children. According to Piaget's cognitive theory, children learn what they see. It is through our culture that we learn how girls should behave and how boys should behave. It is also when we acquire what the norms of our culture are. The cultural aspect of socialization is the key aspect of the development of every human being during the early years..
