- 1How could you argue that Piaget's cognitive development theory is culture bias?Piaget believes the theory is universal but some research has shown that different cultures do develop in different ways. If this is true arguably there could be ethnocentrism within the research.
- 2Conservation is..?The ability to know that even though as object may have changed shape it still has the same mass.
- 3Assimilation is..?The process of adding new information to an existing schema.
- 4How did the policeman doll study criticise Piaget's view of egocentrism in the pre-operational stage?The policeman doll study showed that children lose egocentrism and are able to decentre at a much younger age than Piaget suggested. This experiment showed children can decentre at 5 whereas Piaget thought it was more around 7 years.
