About cognitive development mind maps

GoConqr Original

Using cognitive development mind maps

These maps offer different routes through the unit. Start with Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development for an overview of his approach. For a different perspective, Lev Vygotsky highlights social interaction and cognition. You can compare the branches of the two maps as you revise.

For studies rather than a broad theory, Perceptual Development: Infant Studies brings together topics including depth perception and visual constancy. The map on theory of mind offers another route, focusing on how children understand that other people have minds different from their own.

Turn a map into revision

Read through a map, then cover its branches and try to recall the main ideas. Return to the map to check what you missed. When you want to test your recall in a different way, switch to a quiz on the unit page. Flashcards can help you revisit terms between longer study sessions.

Frequently asked questions

Which mind map is a useful place to start?

Piaget's Theory is a useful starting point if you want to review how Piaget explored changes in children's cognitive development as they aged. For a broader view of his approach, there is also Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development. Both are listed on this page.

Do the maps cover topics beyond Piaget?

Yes. The page also lists maps on Vygotsky, theory of mind, infant perception and information processing. Perceptual Development: Infant Studies includes depth perception and visual constancy, while Lev Vygotsky focuses on social interaction and cognition. These give you several ways into the unit.

Are the mind maps free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open and study without an account. The maps were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr. A free account also lets you make your own mind maps, quizzes, flashcards and notes, and saves your quiz scores.

Which levels do these maps suit?

The page includes resources at university and secondary level. Some resources mention A-level Psychology, GCSE Psychology or AP Psychology. University students and professional candidates, school students and teachers can check individual maps for the topics and level they need before using them.
