FAQ About Jean Piaget

What are the criticisms of Piaget's theory?
Critics of Piaget's theory often point out that his stages may not be as rigid or universal as he suggested. Some studies indicate that children's cognitive development can vary significantly due to cultural and social factors, which Piaget's original research largely overlooked. Additionally, modern research suggests that young children might have more cognitive abilities than Piaget credited them with, as newer methods have revealed capabilities not previously measured in his studies.
