What view does Piaget have on the role of stages in continuous/discontinuous development?
What will be an ideal response?
Piaget felt that there had been an overemphasis on his distinctive stages of development. According to Piaget, knowledge is constructed by the continuous revision and reorganization of intellectual structures in conjunction with experience. Thus, cognition is always undergoing development. Cognitive development is more like a spiral in which change constantly occurs, although at differing rates.
