Piaget

Piaget is a Swiss born biologist who became interested in the cognitive development of children. This led him to study the development of the mind and how children perceive the world around them. He is well known for his theory of the four stages of development that children go through. Piaget contends that each child passes roughly through the same stages of development in the same order and that in each stage the child's knowledge is reorganized.
