Discuss one way in which Piaget may have underestimated the cognitive abilities of

Piaget may have underestimated children's conservation, perspective taking, class
inclusion, and transitivity abilities. For example, in each case, if children are more
familiar with a task or a task is made easier than they can pass such tasks and appear
more logical in their thinking. Conversely, he may have overestimated how well
children learn in solitary learning environments. New evidence suggests that children
perform better in the presence of an adult or mentor.
