Nature of intelligencePiaget noted that children’s thinking changes systematically as they grow older. Remember that Piaget was trained as a biologist. His observations convinced him that these changes in children’s thinking are a form of biological adaptation to the complex environment that children must master. In other words, intelligence grows as the child attempts to make sense of the world.Piaget believed that we make sense of the world by organizing what we know into a mental framework that he called a schema. |
