Everyone will inevitably experience growth, both
physically, socially, too cognition. And it will take place during his lifetime.
Which will be discussed here is how the development of human cognition that
occurs along their lifetime. The development of cognition specifically focused
on changes in ways of thinking, problem solving, memory and intelligence.
Human cognition, from the point of view of development
is the result of a series of developmental stages starting from the early years
of growth. And the growth is influenced by genes and the environment in which
the individual was raised. Such as Steven Pinker says "parents equip their
children with genes and the environment". Quite clearly not, and we can
see from the reality around. The development is influenced by many factors.
Prominent factors include genes and environmental factors.
Here we will review some of the theory of a well-known
figure with his observations are the basis for the development of modern psychology.
He is Jean Piaget.
General principles for Piaget, namely about cognitive
development as follows :
·
The organization refers to the nature of the mental
structures that are used to explore and understand word. Tingkat think the simplest
is the scheme (scheme), that some mental representations of action (physical or
mental) that are made to the object. A simple example is the newborn, sucking,
grasping, and seeing a scheme that is used as a strategy to find out the baby's
cognitive world.
·
Adaptation includes two processes, namely assimilation
and accommodation. Assimilation is the process of obtaining information from
the outside, and with the knowledge and behavior assimilation we were before.
An example here is the baby, her world is more influenced by physical objects
and their first scheme is the inclusion of the objects in her mouth.
Accommodation includes the process of change (adaptation) long scheme that
processes information and new objects in their environment. Sample baby was,
the longer it will grow large and increasing mobility. They will approach his
father's workbench. However, because it is too large and may not be taken. Then
it will accommodate (change) scheme right length so he leaned his face to the
table and then took a bite.
From the above, clearly seen in the infant cognition has
been progressing. Previously he would only take a small object around it and
put it into the mouth. But as we age, so he has developed cognition right and
he will change their mindset (scheme) long with a new scheme in accordance with
increasing age.
