Examines Piaget's theory and critically evaluates it in light of current research. The study of child developement has revolved around Jean Piaget's theories and the program describes their themes, covering the cognitive stages of development from birth to twelve years old, giving illustrations of children's behavior at each level. Recent research is examined in relation to each stage and comparisons drawn with the theories of Jerome Bruner. Current and future developments such as meta cognition and theory of mind are outlined and recent research findings reported.
