Cognitive theory is concerned with the development of a person's thought process. Cognitive theory influences how everyone understands and interacts with the world. Cognitive theorist Paiget proposed an idea that served as developmental insight to account for the stages and sequence of children's intellect differently from adults. This article will compare and contrast the 3 cognitivist theories: Piaget's theory of cognitive development, Vygotsky's sociocultural cognitive theory, and the information processing approach in Kermit and the Keyboard. Exploring Cognitivist Theories Humans can generate knowledge and meaning through the sequential development of individual cognitive abilities. Cognitive abilities can apply, analyze, reflect, recall, create, understand and evaluate. This is considered cognitivists in education. Cognitivists Paiget, Bruner, and Vygotsky developed a learning process that involved learning techniques, procedures, organizations, and structures to develop an internal cognitive structure that strengthens the brain. Paiget's Theory of Cognitive Development An 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 processes of cognitive construction in the world. To understand the world, you have to organize your own experience. For example, most people separate meaningful ideas from less meaningful ideas. Allowing an individual to connect one idea to another, allowing them to organize their critiques and life events. People often adapt their thinking to incorporate new ideas because additional information broadens their understanding......in the middle of a document......one day and never came back to correct the error; he kept making the same mistake. Information processing theory plays an important role in this story. Each cognitive theory has its effect on the human mind and the way individuals absorb information. Their subscription carries an importance on the vital construction of understanding. All theories pay less attention to individual variations. The sociocultural cognitive theories of Paiget and Vygotsky were very similar. Both believed that children actively constructed their knowledge. Kermit (Kermit and the Keyboard) kept repeating a song and the more mistakes he made, the more he wanted to quit the song selection. According to Paiget's theory, as an adult, Kermit has reached the formal stage of development. This gave rise to a formal operational thinking exercise.
