Description

>>PLEASE TAKE A QUICK SURVEY<<

This lecture explores issues and ideas related to the branch of psychology known as cognitive development. It begins with an introduction of Piaget who, interested in the emergence of knowledge in general, studied children and the way they learn about the world in order to formulate his theories of cognitive development. This is followed by an introduction to the modern science of infant cognition. Finally, the question of the relationship between and the existence of different kinds of development is addressed.

Clear and interesting lecture; the limit is the lack of the illustrations and videos that seem essential for full understanding.

What a thought-provoking lecture. I'm just sitting here thinking about all the variables with which a psychology researcher is confronted, especially in regard to early childhood research. I need to read up on research methodology. Thank you.

A fairly good presentation and discussion but fails to demonstrate examples without any visual aid.

Great job by Yale University, all the lectures by prof. Bloom are enlightening. The way he teaches is excellent, one can really have a yales classroom experience at home.
