is the fertilized egg in the womb; it lasts for 2 weeks and begins when the sperm first fertilizes the egg. Soon afterwards, the zygote becomes an embryo. During the embryo stage, the actual human organism is mad and this lasts from the 2nd week to the 2nd month. During the fetus stage, the organism is in its developmental stage. This begins after 9 weeks of pregnancy. A teratogen is an agent that can cause harm to the womb ex. If a pregnant woman is drinking a lot of alcohol, she can harm the fetus

acquired knowledge is processed by our brain into higher thinking skills in a, “a series of gradual, orderly changes by which mental processes become more complex and sophisticated.” That is cognitive development, (Slavin, 2009, p31). The first stage of cognitive development is cognitive learning. This is when our brain takes in information by watching, reading and experiencing the stimuli around us. The brain processes the information and makes it available for later recall. That is cognition

model can be summarised as development being comprised of three aspects, schemas, stages and accommodation and assimilation the construction of schemas. Schemas to Piaget are “a mental concept that informs a person about what to expect from a variety of experiences and situations.” (Study.com, 2015). The stages a child goes through to develop (Sensory motor, pre-operational, concrete operational and the formal operational) are all characterised by different traits which can observably affect the child’s

(Piaget) psychosocial stage (Erikson) and moral level (Kohlberg) to create an appropriate setting and information to help the child understand the procedure. Pre-operational stage-To explain Piaget’s cognitive level of a four years old child, I am going to focus on his second level of cognitive development called pre-operational stage. The child’s thinking at this stage is said to be before operations. This age starts at two and ends at the age of seven. It is at this crucial stage that the child learns

Development, the assimilation-accommodation model, is composed of four stages, sensorimotor (0 - 2 years), preoperational (2 – 7 years), concrete operational (7 – 11 years) and formal operational (11 – adult). Candida Peterson (2004) claims that within Piaget’s theory, each stage must be sufficiently achieved by the individual in order to advance to the next stage, although there is debate about whether we all do reach the final stage. Piaget believes that the most significant aspect of a child's cognitive

evident phases the first phase being the sensorimotor stage, the pre-operational, the concrete operational and the formal operation. Piaget argued that cognition development in children developed through these four stages and that the thinking patterns always happened in a sequence with four key features. It also happened in the same order and no stage was skipped, each stage was an important change than the stage before it. In the sensor motor stage from birth to two years, Piaget observed that childrens

thinking towards loss and grief. This essay shows about the developmental factors of a 10 year old child toward death of a parent. The cognitive and psychosocial development factors are also clarified in the script below. Additionally, the developmental stage and response to loss has also been provided in accordance to the 10 years old boy. Cognitive development refers to how a person perceives, thinks, and gains understanding of his or her world through the interaction of genetic and learned factors

“Impossible and possible event” 3 ½ months age looked longer at the impossible event. Difficult to establish if this is actually true, but other researchers have found similar results, it might be considered a valid method of investigation Pre-operational stage (2-7years) Children develop their language skills. Understanding of the world is based on egocentrism Egocentrism: children only see the world from their own viewpoint, people will think like them. (Piaget and Inhelder 1956): children
