Types of intelligence

Piaget’s theory of cognitive development

• Changes in intelligence appear step by step, in successive stages (each depend on the previous one)
• There are 5 stages of intellectual development

​

sensorimotor stage (0-18 / 24 months):

• the child knows through the physical activities he performs. It acquires the basis of the whole edifice of human knowledge: the scheme of the permanent object. The stage ends with the acquisition of symbolic language and thinking

preoperative stage (2-5 / 7 years)

it is characteristic of the preschool child, struggling to acquire logical thinking

stage of concrete operations (6-11 / 12 years)

• the child can logically think "concrete" problems, "now and here". Thinking becomes reversible, in limited reality, understands the necessary deduction knowing the properties of objects.

stage of formal operations (12/13 years)

• are adolescents able to operate mentally on some abstract, hypothetical problems. They have scientific thinking, they make systematic deductions based on hypotheses.

Categorical thinking (15-19 years)

It develops on the premises of integrated concepts in the sistem

Lev Vygotsky

• Described how culture influences the development of the individual
• The social habits of a certain time, the collective intellectual and material acquisitions, scientific, artistic, the history that the individual lives determines his development.

stage I: physiological

• the child is separated only from a physiological point of view, but, in order to survive, he is totally dependent

stage II: biological

• the child gains independence (by weaning), and his dependence on the caregiver becomes psychological

stage III

• is the stage in which the adult draws his attention, talking to him about various objects around him, and the child's activities are controlled and secondary to the adult's speech

stage IV

the child's actions are initiated and impelled by the adult's speech

stage V

• performs voluntary activities guided by speech by the adult; the adult's speech is internalized and the child controls his own actions through it

stage VI

• the child gives orders to himself - at first out loud; later, through internalized speech, to himself
